Chapter 239 Consoling Kisses
“He’s still refusing to give up!” Felix smirked. How could a pair of human legs hope to
catch up with the four wheels of a car? This man’s brain must be chock full of sh*t!
Sophie glanced at the rearview mirror and saw Yale still in pursuit.
“Ignore him.” Sophie did not want to spare Yale another glance.
Soon, Yale could no longer be seen from the rearview mirror.
“Cheer up, Sophie!” Felix did not know how to console her. He thought she must be
feeling horrible for how her father treated her grandfather, despite how relaxed she
looked.
“I’m fine.”
Sophie closed her eyes, making it plain that she no longer wished to discuss the
subject. She was reluctant to elaborate, and Felix did not force her.
Tristan had brought Josiah to one of his mansions. Though he did not often drop by, a
housekeeper kept the place ready for him to visit whenever he liked.
Having learned that Sophie was coming, Josiah sat in wait on the couch.
“Why don’t you take a nap, Grandpa? I’ll wake you when Soph comes.” He’s getting
older and has undergone such a massive operation, so he must be tired.
“Oh, Tanny. Thank you for always being by Soph’s side.” If it weren’t for Tristan, who
was always by Sophie’s side, Josiah dared not imagine what would become of her.
Though he knew his granddaughter was a force to be reckoned with, there was no
way she could face it calmly when her beloved family member was involved, no
matter how formidable she was.
“It’s within my duty, Grandpa. Don’t worry. No matter what happens, I will always be by
Soph’s side.”
That is my promise. I will not let anybody hurt Sophie.
Felix was leading Sophie in when she heard Tristan utter those words. She was

touched.
It really is nice to have him. Otherwise, I would not know what to do.
Josiah smiled at Sophie’s arrival.
“What’s the rush, Soph? The shareholder’s meeting must have just ended. I’m fine!
You needn’t worry.”
Josiah did not wish to bring up the matter, but it concerned Sophie, his beloved
granddaughter.
He knew that the matter could not go unsaid.
Though he was the one who was kidnapped, he could no longer defend Yale.
Sophie wrapped her arms around Josiah’s waist and leaned on his chest.
Though she knew nothing would happen, Sophie felt relieved to see Josiah standing
alive and well before her.
“Don’t worry, Grandpa. Tanner Group will be my legacy from now on.” She was
determined to lead Tanner Group to new heights.
Sophie’s voice sounded relaxed.
“I’m sorry, Soph,” Josiah murmured. “If it weren’t for my insistence of you taking on
that role, you wouldn’t have had to experience all of that.” Such an ordeal is tough for
anyone to endure.
Sophie grasped the old man’s hand.
“You don’t have to be sorry! It’s me you’re talking to, Grandpa. All right, you must be
tired. Rest a little here at Mr. Tristan’s before we go home. If you don’t feel like
returning, you can stay with me for a few days.”
“You know, I really am tired. I’ll take a nap here at Tanny’s, and we’ll talk after I wake
up.”
“Okay.”
After bringing Josiah into a clean room and tucking him in, Sophie emerged sometime
later and immediately spotted Tristan waiting for her.
He approached her, took both her hands, and pulled her into his embrace.
“It’s over. Grandpa’s fine. You can relax now. I’ll have two men following him from now
on, and they won’t allow anybody to take him away.” I will have two of my most
capable men protect Old Mr. Tanner.
“I’d once offered to hire two bodyguards for him, but he turned me down.” Being a
soldier in his day, Josiah was prideful and thought highly of his combat skills.
But, how could he fight people off being as old as he is? Furthermore, he had just
undergone an extensive operation!
“Don’t worry,” Tristan said. “I’ve discussed this problem with Grandpa, and he’s agreed
to it.” Josiah had come around after the incident.
Leaning against his chest, Sophie felt genuinely relieved at the moment.
“Thank you so much, Mr. Tristan. Without you, I think I would be—” If it weren’t for
him, I would not have been able to control myself. I would’ve done something
unthinkable.
Tristan lowered his head to kiss her still moving lips.
I don’t want to hear her say such things. She only needs to rely on me. I will work hard
to ensure that she has nothing to worry about.
It was a lingering kiss, tender and persistent yet vaguely domineering.
That kiss strengthened Sophie’s attachment to him.
Without a doubt, she enjoyed that kiss, which gave her a realistic sensation.
