Pursuing Her

Chapter 316 No Birthday Celebration For Me

“Do I have to report to you about what I’m going to do?” Tristan gave the others a look. Do they think I’m a pervert or what?

“Well, you don’t need to report to us.” Sophie is such a beauty. There’s no way Mr. Tristan can hold back anymore!

Even though they did not persist with the questioning, they were sure that Tristan would undoubtedly do something at Sophie’s coming-of-age party.

Sophie’s eighteenth birthday also meant a lot to Josiah. During dinner, he said, “Soph, it’s your birthday soon. I want to hold a birthday party for you.”

For Josiah, Sophie’s eighteenth birthday was an important occasion. It had been a long time since she came back from Horington. He wanted to let everyone know that his granddaughter had returned home.

Upon hearing that Josiah was planning to hold a birthday party for Sophie, Willow felt even more indignant.

When Willow had her eighteenth birthday, Josiah was far from being so enthusiastic. They merely had a simple family dinner together.

“Grandpa, there’s no need for that. I don’t like this kind of occasion,” Sophie replied. Instead of a celebration, it would feel more like an annoyance for her.

Josiah fell silent. He also knew Sophie did not enjoy such an occasion.

“What do you want, then? This birthday marks your coming of age. It should be something special!” he probed. How long has it been since I last celebrated Sophie’s birthday? I’m looking forward to it.

“Grandpa, I have everything I need. All I want is for you to be good. That will make me happy,” Sophie answered.

Josiah was rendered speechless momentarily.

Turning to Morgan, Josiah asked, “Morgan, am I not been behaving?” Goodness, I’ve never been this docile before!

Hearing that, Morgan broke into a grin. “Ms. Sophie, Old Mr. Tanner has been very obedient lately.”

“Well, that’s good to know,” Sophie replied. Things were already back on track at Tanner Group. Furthermore, Victor had proven to be a trustworthy person. She only went to Tanner Group occasionally after leaving the company in his hands.

After all, Sophie was still a student. Handing over Tanner Group to Victor was the only way to put all the employees at ease.

How could you talk to me like that?” Yale was offended by her remarks. He continued, “See, Dad? This is the result of you pampering her unconditionally.
