Pursuing Her

Chapter 248

Cannot Wait Much Longer When confronted with Tristan’s frivolous overtures, Sophie pretended to be calm. “Then don’t sleep.” Shouldn’t women be the ones who typically get drunk first? Probably nobody would believe Mr. Tristan if he told anyone that he got himself drunk today. Seeing her that way, Tristan could not resist a chuckle. “All right. I won’t mess with you anymore.” That was because it was usually him who could no longer take any more of it after such attempts.

The car eventually rolled to a halt outside Wisteria Apartments’ parking lot. Sophie opted not to wake Tristan when she saw him leaning against her shoulder with his eyes closed, for she quite enjoyed that moment of serenity. It was the sort of tranquility that one would want to lose themselves in, forever and ever. Tristan, however, chose an opportune time to open his eyes. “We’ve arrived, I see.” “Yeah.” Tristan opened the door to alight, as did Sophie. “Rest early.” Since it was late after sending her there, she thought he might as well head straight back and get some rest. “You don’t have to come and see me off at the train station tomorrow.” This time, Sophie had chosen to travel to Horington by rail.

Tristan left a peck on her forehead before he let her go. “All right, go on up! I’ll watch you enter the elevator before I go.” “Okay.” Sophie turned to leave, still seeming as nonchalant as ever. Only she herself knew how furiously her own heart was thumping against her chest. Immediately after Tristan reached home, he made a video call to Sophie who, fresh out of the shower, looked extremely delectable to him when she answered. The sight of that gorgeous face displayed on the phone’s screen led Tristan to swallow hard. “Hurry up and go get washed up!” Sophie’s placid voice conversely
