Pursuing Her

Chapter 302

The Physics Competition When the Tanner family walked Sophie out, Tristan and Ysabelle were already waiting for her. Sophie was somewhat surprised to see Ysabelle. “What are you doing here?” the former inquired curiously. “I’m going to the physics summer camp with you!” Ysabelle chirped. With the help of her uncle, she managed to sign up for the camp held before the physics competition. “Huh?” Sophie could not help but wonder if Ysabelle thought she joined the camp for fun. When Tristan saw Josiah, he got out of the car and approached the elderly man. “It’s cold out here, Old Mr. Tanner. You should head in and rest. Don’t worry about Sophie; I’ll ensure she gets to her destination safely,” Tristan reassured. After nodding in response, Josiah pulled out a card from his pocket and handed it to Sophie. “Take this. I want you to take good care of yourself out there, okay?” the old man said, unable to feel at ease over the fact that his granddaughter would be on her own outside. Willow was beside herself with jealousy when she saw Josiah give Sophie a bank card.

don’t care how rich you are. Nobody can ever have too much money, so just take it.” Josiah then forced the card into Sophie’s hands. Willow got so upset that she could almost cry. Sophie didn’t want the card, but she still got it. I got nothing even though I asked. Grandpa is obviously biased toward Sophie! Since Josiah insisted, Sophie had no choice but to keep the card he gave her. “All right, I got it. You have to listen to Morgan. Have your meals and go to bed on time, okay?” she exhorted. “Okay.” The old man was unusually compliant then. After opening the car door for Sophie, Tristan, too, got into the vehicle. The physics competition, an invitational that would last for two weeks, was to be held in Summerbank. When Tristan thought of how he could not see

two young women, Ysabelle and Sophie, sat in the back seat. “Sophie, I’m not good at physics, so you must ensure that I don’t embarrass myself too much, okay? I’m only planning to learn whatever I can there,” the former requested. “Sure.” Going from Jipsdale to Summerbank required a three-hour journey by car, so Tristan pulled up at the rest stop when they reached one. While Ysabelle used the restroom, he and Sophie got out of the car to get some fresh air. “You asked Ysabelle to go with me, didn’t you? Didn’t I tell you I could take care of myself?” questioned Sophie rhetorically. “She wanted to go,” Tristan insisted, trying to convince her that it was not his idea.

You’ll be gone for two weeks, so the least I can do is have Ysabelle keep you company!” he explained sincerely while holding her hands. In response, Sophie sighed in resignation since she could not help but be moved by how considerate the man was. “Don’t worry. If this doesn’t sit well with you, I won’t make any similar arrangements in the future without your approval. Are you okay with this?” Tristan, a tycoon, was unexpectedly understanding when speaking with her. “Mmh.” Sophie did not wish to be unappreciative of his thoughtfulness. Regardless, she was not averse to having Ysabelle around. Hence, the matter was resolved then. Ysabelle brought two bottles of water for Tristan and Sophie when she returned. It was already past three o’clock in the afternoon when they finally reached Summerbank. Since that was the last day for registration, Sophie and Ysabelle went straight to the counter while Tristan waited outside. Afterward, the two young women were to head to the private summer camp as soon as possible. “Is there anything else you two have to do? If not, our driver will take you to the camp. You’re the last two participants to join us,” one of the
