“What are you laughing at?” Tristan asked. Did I say something wrong? She’s amazing, isn’t she?

“All right, all right. You don’t have to argue with your father over me. I don’t like that. I’ll prove to the world that I’m the only one qualified to stand alongside you at the top,” Sophie said. No one can do that except me.

“You don’t have to prove to anyone!” Tristan responded.

He believed it would be impossible to win certain people over, no matter hard they tried to prove themselves.

“I know, but I want to make you happy,” Sophie said, as she believed Tristan would be just as upset if his father disapproved of her.

“Having you by my side is enough to make me happy,” Tristan assured her. We don’t need to pay attention to how others feel about us as long as we’re together.

Upon hearing that, Sophie quipped, “I bet people will be surprised if they find out how easily satisfied Mr. Tristan is.”

“Is that so? I beg to differ. Meeting you was a miracle, to begin with. It doesn’t mean I’m easily satisfied,” he explained. If finding a soulmate was as easy as she thought, she wouldn’t have waited for one to appear for so long, right?

“Thank you for doing the things you did for me, Mr. Tristan.” Sophie was touched by how serious the man was. He always does things for her without expecting anything in return.

Tristan replied, “You don’t have to say this. I’m happy to do them for you.”

Sophie hummed in response.
