Changing Only For Her Novel

Hearing that, Mark laughed.

He took a sip of his beer and asked, “What’s wrong? Don’t you want me to quit the band? I thought you would be the happiest to see me leaving Sophie and stop being around her.”

Tristan glanced at him. “I must say you’ve overestimated yourself if that’s what you think. Sorry to let you down, but I’ve never considered you my love rival because I know Sophie only sees you as a friend and nothing more.”

Mark was at a loss for words. Although Tristan was telling the truth, his words still sounded rather harsh in Mark’s ears. He asked, “Are you so certain that Sophie will never have feelings for me?”

“Yes, I am certain about that.” Tristan was very confident in himself.

“Mr. Tristan, do you know how much I envy you? Not because you’re rich but because Sophie likes you.”

“That is certainly something worthy of your envy.” Tristan was also proud of himself for winning Sophie’s heart.

“Anyway, why don’t you tell me why you want to leave the band?” He only came here to meet Mark because he wanted to hear the latter’s answer.

Tristan would do everything he could to help Sophie settle the things she was struggling to deal with on her own so that she wouldn’t burden herself too much.

“Well, I have been in the entertainment industry for too long, and I want to try something different now. After all, no one stays popular forever.”

“But then, you’re very popular now. You shouldn’t have chosen to leave the band at this point in your career.”

“Mr. Tristan, I don’t need anyone telling me what I should and should not do.”

Mark was also someone with a temper, and he would not be intimidated even if the person sitting across from him was the powerful and terrifying Tristan. He did not need Tristan telling him what he should or should not do, and neither did he need Tristan to give him the green light for the decisions he made.

He continued, “No one should judge my decision as long as I am happy with it. Other factors won’t affect my choices.”

“Do you have no regrets about leaving the band?” Tristan came all the way here to question Mark’s departure because he knew how much Mark loved music and the band. “Mark, are you perhaps having some issues? If that’s the case, you can talk to me. I might be able to help you with whatever problems you’re having.”

“I know you’re a powerful man, but you should know there are things even you can’t fix.”

“So, you are having issues, aren’t you?”

“Nope. Stop asking.” Mark continued drinking his beer.

He only agreed to meet Tristan because he did not want to drink alone.

Then, Mark said, “Come on! No matter what, we’re still two men who fell in love with the same girl. Can’t we put everything aside and enjoy our drinks tonight?”
Heoring thot, Mork loughed.

He took o sip of his beer ond osked, “Whot’s wrong? Don’t you wont me to quit the bond? I thought you would be the hoppiest to see me leoving Sophie ond stop being oround her.”

Triston glonced ot him. “I must soy you’ve overestimoted yourself if thot’s whot you think. Sorry to let you down, but I’ve never considered you my love rivol becouse I know Sophie only sees you os o friend ond nothing more.”

Mork wos ot o loss for words. Although Triston wos telling the truth, his words still sounded rother horsh in Mork’s eors. He osked, “Are you so certoin thot Sophie will never hove feelings for me?”

“Yes, I om certoin obout thot.” Triston wos very confident in himself.

“Mr. Triston, do you know how much I envy you? Not becouse you’re rich but becouse Sophie likes you.”
