Changing Only For Her Novel

Then, the national treasure was taken away. After all that had happened that night, everyone had a hard time trying to recollect themselves.

Sophie was probably the calmest among them since she knew beforehand what would happen. To her, everything was within expectations, so there was nothing to be excited about.

At that moment, William finally shifted his attention to Sophie.

“You’ve fulfilled a long-standing wish of mine, so I want to return the favor. What would you like? You need only ask.” The man was nothing but grateful to Sophie because he knew how difficult it was to find the national treasure.

When Jennifer heard that, she could not help but look nervously at Sophie. That woman probably only did what she did because she wanted to impress Old Mr. Lombard, so I don’t see why she wouldn’t push her luck after hearing him say that! I bet she’ll demand to marry into the Lombard family!

Even though Jennifer’s fingernails dug deep into her palms because of their length and how hard she clenched her fists, she felt no pain at all.

That was the only way to calm herself down, or she would lose her mind.

Everyone then turned their attention to Sophie, convinced that the young woman only went through the trouble because she wanted to impress William. This is the perfect opportunity to persuade Old Mr. Lombard to allow her and Tristan to be together, so why would she let it go?

“Don’t worry about it, Old Mr. Lombard. Today’s your eightieth birthday, so it’s only natural for me to get you a gift. That’s all there is to it.” Sophie was confident that Tristan would be with her no matter what, so she had no reason to buy William off with the gift. Do the others think I’m the kind of person who’d offer presents in exchange for Tristan?

“Are you sure?” William, too, had thought Sophie would request him to agree to her and Tristan being together. Hence, he was surprised when she did not even bring up the matter.

“I wish you a long and happy life, Old Mr. Lombard,” voiced Sophie, who seemed as lovable as a doe then.

William quickly forgot about the other gifts after receiving Sophie’s. Even those from the Lombard siblings paled in comparison.

Glad that Sophie did not make the request she expected, Jennifer breathed a sigh of relief. As long as Old Mr. Lombard still hasn’t agreed to Tristan’s relationship with Sophie, I’ll have a chance to turn things around.
