Finally, it was the day of the proposal. Sophie went back to the Tanner residence early in the morning. Regardless of everything, she wanted her grandfather to witness that day.

While she had returned early, the rest would only come later in the day.

Yale had asked the housekeepers to clean up the Tanner residence. It was his first time making preparations for something like this, and he even asked the housekeepers what else he should prepare for.

When he saw that Sophie had returned, he grew nervous.

“Sophie, I know you’re not interested in the matters at home, but I won’t let you down this time.”

Yale was delighted to have his daughter marry a man like Tristan. Others would have to treat him with respect if they encounter him in the future, for he would be Tristan’s father-in-law.

“Take a look around and tell me what other things we need to prepare. I’ll get people to work on it right away. We can’t embarrass ourselves in front of the Lombards.”

Sophie only glanced at her grandfather’s photo on the altar before walking over to it in silence.

“Grandpa, will you be more at peace after seeing this? You’ve always hoped for me to have a good home. I’m sure you can be at peace now.”

Sophie’s heart still ached whenever she looked at her grandfather’s framed photo on the altar. Her grandfather had always hoped to see her get married, but now that she was getting married, her grandfather no longer had the chance to send her off.

Yale did not make any comments about Sophie’s behavior. She had always acted as such since young, never caring about trying to preserve someone else’s dignity.

Meanwhile, Charmaine was sneering as she watched Sophie from the side. “What’s the point in you doing this much for her? Her heart is made of stone. Nothing you do will matter to her.”

Her words upset Yale.

“It’s Sophie’s big day today. If you can hold your tongue, then join the ceremony. If you can’t stop yourself from speaking nonsense like this, then head upstairs to rest instead. I doubt anyone will mind even if you don’t attend this. There’s no need for you to say agitating words like these.”
