Pursuing Her

Chapter 243

Sleeping Together Once Tristan saw her exiting the house, he hurried out of the car and opened the car door for her. After she entered the car, he asked, “Are you okay?” Tristan had been outside of the car until a moment ago, so he had seen Yale standing on the rooftop. Nevertheless, it seemed like Sophie knew Yale well, for the latter never ended up jumping. “Were you here the entire time?” Didn’t I ask him to go back to rest first? Why is he still here? “I was worried about you,” he replied. It was that simple. He was worried about her, and that was why he could not just leave her there by herself.

“There’s nothing you need to worry about,” she mumbled. Didn’t I tell him I can deal with it fine? As Tristan kept one hand on the steering wheel, he reached out to hold her hand with the other. “I know you can handle it well, but I just don’t want you to be alone during the process. Even though I have to be a distance away from you, I still wish to stay until the end with you.” Sophie was moved, but she did not know what words she could use to express what she felt. In the end, she leaned forward and kissed him. Tristan was delighted to see her initiate the kiss. After a bout of passionate kissing, Tristan drove Sophie back to Wisteria Apartments. “It’s been a tiring day, so head in and rest. We’ll eat after you wake up or would you like to eat now?” he asked upon noticing how exhausted she was. “Let’s sleep together,” she said. She knew that he had a tiring day too. “What did you just say?” Tristan whispered, unable to believe what he just heard. Instantly, Sophie’s face turned bright red. Like him, she could not believe what she had just said. “I-I didn’t mean that!

her second sentence. “Since you’ll feel lonely, I’ll keep you company.” With that said, Tristan lifted her into his arms and carried her into the room bridal style. Then, he placed her on the bed and took off her jacket for her. When he was about to take off his clothes for her, Sophie’s heart thumped loudly as if it was going to fly out of her ribcage. Still, Tristan did not take off all of her clothes; a piece of black garment remained on her. “Sleep now.” Tristan stayed dressed in his coat as he lay by her side trying hard to not let his desires

you turn around?” Sophie said, hoping that he would accept her request. “No. I want to look at you like this forever,” he rejected. Sophie was speechless, but there was nothing she could do about that. In a way, she could only blame herself for the situation. No one had asked her to invite him to sleep with her. Yes, there’s no one I can blame but myself for this. When Sophie’s eyes flitted toward the thin garment he was wearing, she began to worry that he might be feeling cold. Hence, she pulled half of the blanket toward him. “Let’s share the blanket.” Tristan could not hold himself back at the sight of her cuteness, so he pulled her into his arms. Sophie was embarrassed by his hug, and her face heated up even more. “Mr. Tristan—” “Hush. Don’t speak. Sleep now.” With her in his arms, he had to summon even more willpower to stop himself from being taken over by his desire, so he would rather have her stay silent. Therefore, Sophie closed her eyes and tried her best

the start, she thought it would be impossible for her to fall asleep. Yet, not long after, she fell asleep in his arms. Tristan curled his lips as he studied her beautiful face. For Sophie to have fallen asleep in his arms meant that she did not have her guard up around him. Is this something I should be happy about? By the time Sophie woke, it was way past eight. Her stomach growled. Just as Sophie opened her eyes, Tristan woke up. The man was frighteningly sensitive about his surroundings. “What’s the matter? Are you hungry?” came his concerned question right away. “Yes, I am hungry.” “Then, let’s go. Ysabelle and the others should still be in Blossom Garden, so let’s head over there and join them for a meal.” They had planned to have a meal together, but what happened to Sophie earlier affected his plan of joining them. They must be done by now, right? “Let’s not go then. They must have finished their meals by
