Sarah came over with some food. She served Sophie a bowl of mushroom soup before serving another bowl to Tristan.

“Have some soup!”

“Thank you, Sarah,” Sophie said gratefully. She felt guilty for getting into trouble, causing everyone to worry about her.

Sarah chuckled. “We’re a family, so please don’t stand on formalities. We must teach Quinton a lesson so he’ll learn from his mistake.”

How dare he hurt one of us? Who gave him the guts to do so?

“All right, you don’t have to worry about this. I know what to do,” Tristan told her. He didn’t want to talk about this anymore.

“Mm.” Sarah stopped thinking about the matter.

Despite not knowing what happened for real, she wouldn’t press on as Tristan told her not to.

“What’s wrong? Are you feeling unwell? You only ate a little.” Sarah was upset at how Tristan didn’t finish her soup. After all, she spent a few hours cooking it!

“I’m not hungry,” came Tristan’s reply.

“Tristan, drink more soup. I think Sarah’s soups are amazing,” Sophie insisted. He’s an adult. How can he eat this little?

“Okay.”

Hearing that, Tristan got himself another bowl of soup.

Sarah rolled her eyes. I knew it. My little brother is all grown up and belongs to someone else now. I might be his elder sister, but he won’t listen to me. Nevertheless, it only took one casual comment from Sophie to make him do as told. How can there be such a vast difference between us?

After finishing the soup, Tristan wasted no time in getting rid of her. “You can leave now.”

“Tristan, you ingrate. I spent a few hours cooking the soup for you! How could you kick me out after finishing it?” Sarah complained. The real reason she came here was to visit Sophie.

We didn’t even get to talk for long. How could he ask me to leave now?

“Mr. Tristan, you should get back to work. Let me chat with Sarah,” said Sophie.

“I’m not busy,” Tristan quickly replied.

Indeed, work wasn’t important now, for his top priority was Sophie.

Sarah snapped, “Tristan, what are you doing? Sophie and I would like to chat in private. Do we need your approval for that?”
