“That’s enough. Let’s go. Nobody can bully me,” Sophie said. Besides, it’s just Willow. What can she do to me?

“All right. Let’s go!”

Tristan wrapped an arm around Sophie’s shoulders and opened the car door to let her get inside first.

Then, he turned around and declared in a stern voice, “This is a warning. Nobody here has the right to criticize my woman!” Tristan would not stand for people trying to hurt his girl.

Willow fumed with indignance when she heard him.

Unlike Tristan, Clayton had never sided with her like that.

Besides, Tristan would never believe anything others said about Sophie. It was virtually impossible to sow discord between them.

Tristan only got into the car after making his statement.

If not for the fact they were Sophie’s mother and sister, he would have lashed out long ago.

“Why are you so angry? I’m not even that mad at them. Don’t get all worked up because of those people. It’s not worth it,” Sophie said after Tristan entered the car.

“It’s not that. I just don’t want them to hurt you. Why don’t we also get engaged?” If keeping their relationship in the dark would put her through all this, Tristan would rather they make it public for everyone to know.

Sophie shook her head right away.

“Forget about it. Classes are starting soon. We’ll talk about this after I graduate from university.” Sophie knew she would be the talk of the town, garnering unwanted attention and trouble if she went to the university as Tristan Lombard’s fiancée.

Even though she could not care less about what others thought of her, she loathed dealing with unsolicited troubles.

“Well, everyone thinks that I’m the one who’s refusing to acknowledge our relationship when it’s you refusing to make it official,” Tristan grumbled.

I’m more than willing to acknowledge our relationship.

Knowing making it official would spell trouble for them both, Sophie was in a bind.

“That’s not what I meant. I just don’t want to get you into trouble,” Sophie mumbled.
