Changing Only For Her Novel

“What are you saying? Am I really such an ill-hearted man in your eyes?” William demanded.

We haven’t even met each other! It seems like Tristan’s really smitten with this girl.

“I’m just reminding you to mind your attitude. Don’t make things difficult for her,” Tristan replied. He planned to leave right away if his father did not play nice.

“Even if I don’t like her, it doesn’t matter and won’t change your mind, right?” William snapped. He detested the notion that Tristan didn’t even care about what he thought.

“Dad, why do you think that? You know that we both respect you! It’s just that… Well, love can’t be explained,” Sarah muttered.

She was definitely on Tristan’s side.

“Quit trying to brainwash me. Let me meet her first. If I don’t like her, she won’t stand a chance to marry into our family,” William retorted.

He was not one to mince his words.

“In that case, it’s better if the two of you don’t meet,” Tristan declared. It was obvious that William was not at all keen to meet her.

He had only brought Sophie to meet him out of respect for him. However, William seemed to take that gesture to mean that he had the right to dictate who Tristan could be with.

“You—”

William thought Tristan was being too arrogant.

“What do you mean? How dare you use that tone against me for a woman? Where are your manners?” William berated.

“Tristan, refrain yourself,” Sarah reminded him. It was a happy occasion. How did it all turn out like this? “Dad, haven’t you always wanted to see Tristan get married? He finally found someone whom he wants to spend the rest of his life with. Why are you acting like this?” Sarah asked.

That was absolutely unnecessary.

“What? He’s finally found someone?” William found Sarah’s words incredulous. It was Tristan who had always given the socialites the cold shoulder.

“Okay, Dad. I was wrong. My point is he’s finally found someone he likes. Please don’t get in the middle of this,” Sarah pleaded.

“All right. Don’t you guys know I’m a well-mannered man? Even if I don’t like her, I won’t let it show. We’re going to talk when we’re back,” William said.

That should do it, right?
