Pursuing Her

Chapter 244

Burden “Let’s go then. Since I’m leaving Harington tomorrow, it’s good to meet them one more time before I take off.” Initially, she didn’t want them to wait for her, but since they hadn’t even had their meals for the sake of waiting for her, she figured she should go and meet them. When Tristan and Sophie arrived, it was already half past eight. Ysabelle ran up to Sophie when she saw her.

“Sophie! You’re finally here! I missed you so much! This is the first time I have hated holidays so much because I couldn’t get the chance to see you.” I think it’s better when we still have school. I get to see Sophie every day at school. Now that it’s the holidays, it’s hard to meet up with her! “Wow? For the first time in forever, our dear Ms. Lombard wants to go to school!” Felix couldn’t help teasing her. Hearing that, Ysabelle shot him a glare. “Shut up, Felix. What’s wrong with me missing the days when we had to go to school?” Just you all wait. I’m going to leave Jipsdale after the university entrance exam, so by then, it will be difficult if they want to see me. Sophie went over to Ysabelle and sat down beside her. “Didn’t we just meet?” “I missed you, okay? How about this? I’ll go to Harington with you tomorrow. It’s boring to be in Jipsdale alone, anyway.” We should all go together! “I’m not going there for fun. I’ve some matters that I need to attend to, so it’s a little inconvenient to bring you along. What about next time? I’ll take you there to have some fun next time.”

these matters you mentioned dangerous?” Ysabelle was worried because these matters had to be dangerous for Sophie to say that it was inconvenient to bring her along. Seeing how worried Ysabelle was, Sophie smiled. “It’s nothing. Besides, there’s no way a high schooler like me could be involved in some shady and dangerous affairs. Don’t worry.” Ysabelle asked, “But why do I get the feeling that everything you do is dangerous?” After all, Sophie did not look like an ordinary high schooler. In the meantime, Felix couldn’t help but sigh. It seems like Ysabelle is finally thinking straight for once. There’s no way Sophie is as simple as she appears to be! “You’re overthinking things,” Sophie answered. The food was served as soon as Tristan and Sophie arrived. “Let’s enjoy the food.” Sophie quickly changed the topic. She was going to Horington to deal with some matters in the past, so she wasn’t lying when she said it was inconvenient to bring Ysabelle along with her. Ysabelle immediately pouted. “But I really do want to go with you!” “If you’re really that bored, you can ask Felix to take

Now that they were still in high school, there weren’t that many temptations yet. However, he couldn’t be sure the situation would remain the same after Ysabelle entered university, where there were lots of attractive young men. Ysabelle, however, bit her lip reluctantly. But I want to go with Sophie… “What’s wrong? You don’t feel like going anywhere? Forget it then.” Felix was quite upset. I’m considered an attractive young man, right? I wonder why she isn’t interested in me at all! “That’s not it. I’ll come with you,” Ysabelle replied. She would do anything to stay away from home and avoid seeing her father. “Mr. Tristan, are you really not going with Sophie?” Charles dared not believe his ears. He, for one, knew how much Tristan cared for Sophie, so there was no way Tristan would let Sophie face the dangers

now. I wonder what Clayton did to Phantom that had Phantom toying with him like that.” Sean, too, chimed in, “That’s right. Phantom is literally toying with him. Clayton is absolutely powerless in the face of Phantom.” The fact that a quiet man like him broke his silence indicated that he was also interested in Phantom. Felix added, “Do you guys think Phantom is taking revenge on Clayton because Clayton discovered
