“Yes, let’s go watch the fireworks together,” Tristan said eagerly, his eyes alight with excitement. “Hurry up and change into something you can be comfortable in.” He wanted to be able to count down to Christmas with her.

“Sure! I won’t be long. Let me head upstairs to grab a jacket, and I’ll meet you outside!” Sophie agreed. It seemed like a great idea to welcome Christmas with him.

Time seemed to fly by for them, and before they knew it, they had been together for two years.

“Mm, it’s fine. Take your time. I’ll wait for you outside,” Tristan told her. He had no intention of heading into her house.

Sophie went upstairs to grab a jacket. Before leaving, she applied some lip gloss.

Applying makeup was a hassle, and she had no interest in putting it on just for the sake of going on a date, but she figured the least she could do was apply some lip gloss to give her a more lively look.

As Sophie ran her fingers through her hair, she observed her reflection in the mirror and was surprised by what she saw.

Just like any other young woman, she was filled with excitement and anticipation as she was going to meet her boyfriend soon.

After putting on her jacket, Sophie went down the stairs and bumped into Yale.

“It’s late. Where are you going? Won’t you come back tonight?” Yale inquired. He wasn’t worried as he knew who her boyfriend was.

Besides, he dared not stop Tristan from bringing her out on a date.

“Yes. Tristan is waiting for me outside. We’re going out, and I won’t be back tonight,” Sophie answered.

She had a hunch that Tristan wanted to spend the evening counting down until Christmas, so she probably would not be returning home that night.

“Okay. Go, then. Don’t let Mr. Tristan wait for too long as it’s pretty chilly outside,” Yale reminded her.

He was determined not to keep his beloved son-in-law waiting outside in the cold for too long.

Sophie nodded and said nothing else. She didn’t like explaining herself and couldn’t be bothered by what others thought about her.
