Tristan felt that the blessing he received was unique and special, as it was not just any ordinary blessing, but one that came from Sophie.

When he was a child, the anticipation of Christmas filled him with joy and excitement. However, as he grew older, the magic and wonder of Christmas began to diminish, leaving him with a feeling of apathy toward the holiday.

Gathering as a family for a meal and visiting relatives was often seen as an obligation rather than an enjoyable experience.

Sophie didn’t like visiting relatives, so she allowed herself to sleep until past ten o’clock the following morning.

She thought Tristan would’ve left home to visit his relatives by then.

The Lombard family was extremely influential, so many relatives of the family would flock to their home during the holiday season to catch up and to show their respects.

To her surprise, she found Tristan preparing breakfast in the kitchen.

Sophie was clad in a thin nightdress. The house was warm, so she still preferred wearing a nightdress, even in winter.

She leaned on the doorframe and watched him quietly.

Sophie was aware of the power of the man’s attractiveness, and it was impossible for her not to take notice of it. She had often lamented why such a handsome man had to exist.

Tristan was extremely alluring. Even when just standing there, he could somehow lead one’s imagination to run amok. Sophie loved his Adam’s apple the most.

She had to admit that his Adam’s apple was extremely sexy, giving her the urge to nibble on it.

“Are you up already? You really should get some more rest. There’s nothing we need to do today, so why don’t you just stay in bed? I’ll bring you breakfast later,” Tristan said affectionately.

“No need. I’m already up and about. I’ve had plenty of rest the past few days. Why didn’t you return to the Lombard residence? There should be many relatives visiting today, right?” Sophie inquired. Despite their personal preferences, as grown-ups, socializing with family was a necessity.

“Why would I return to the Lombard residence? I want to spend the holidays with you. Lincoln’s home, so he’ll deal with those relatives,” Tristan told her. Having an elder brother had its advantages, as it meant that any matters that the younger sibling disliked could be delegated to the elder brother.
