Pursuing Her

Chapter 394

Felix ran his hand down his face before a heartbreaking smile appeared on his lips.

“Mean to her? Do you think I can bring myself to do that?” Felix questioned. It's not like Tristan doesn't know how much I like Ysabelle.

“All right, you're a man, so drop that look.”

Well, the world hasn't ended yet, so clearly, everything's fine.

“Mr. Tristan, do you ever doubt yourself? I think that my feelings are unreciprocated right now. She doesn't like me at all.”

Tristan did not reply to him.

So something really did happen.

“No.”

Tristan was speaking the truth, for everything in his life had been smooth sailing.

He met a girl he liked, and that girl liked him too.

He was living a blissful life.

At that, Felix could not help but laugh.

The content smile on Tristan's face was a clear indicator that Tristan would not understand what Felix was feeling at that moment.

“I shouldn't be telling you this.”

Tristan then poured him a glass of red wine.

“All right, don't do anything that'll affect Ysabelle's upcoming exam. You know how important the university entrance exam is to her.”

Ysabelle needed the grades to prove herself.

That way, her father would oppose her desire to debut in the entertainment industry less.

“I know.”

Felix just could not hold himself back earlier. Now that he was away from the situation, he realized he had been wrong to have disturbed her.

On the other side, when Sophie arrived at Ysabelle's room, she found Ysabelle crying. At that, Sophie walked over to the bed and lay down beside her.

“What happened? Was Felix mean to you? If he was, I'll go downstairs and beat him up right now.”


Ysabelle turned to the side when she heard Sophie's voice.

“Sophie, my chest hurts.”

“What?”

“My chest feels tight as if I can't take in any more breaths. I don't know what's going on with me. Am I dying?” Ysabelle was sure that she was dying because she had never felt her lungs constrict in this way before.

“Tell me something first: Did Felix do something to you?”

Ysabelle only looked even more upset when she recalled Felix's earlier demeanor.

“Has he gone back?” He must be sad to hear that from me just now.

“I don't know. He asked me to check on you, so I came upstairs,” Sophie replied.

How dare he bully her in this way? It looks like Felix still has a long way to go.

“Sophie, do you think I'm being too mean to Felix? I've always been the bully.”

“No, not at all. I think you're doing great.”

At that, Ysabelle gave her a doubtful glance.

“Are you sure? But it looks like I've hurt him for real earlier. He looked devastated.” Indeed, it had been Ysabelle's first time seeing that look on Felix's face. It pained her to see it.

“So, do you like him?”

Ysabelle did not say anything to that.

Do I? Although I've always said that I want to be in a relationship, what is love? I haven't even figured that out yet. What kind of feelings do I have for Felix? I don't even know the answer to that.

“I don't know,” was her response, and that was the truth.

Sophie patted her cheek.

“Let it be then. Follow your heart, and don't dwell too much on other things. All right, it's almost time. You have the mathematics exam in the afternoon, so take a nap first.”

“Can you stay here and keep me company? I don't want to be alone right now.”

“Okay, I'll stay here with you,” Sophie agreed.

A moment of lying in bed later, Ysabelle opened her eyes again.

“Sophie, I still can't fall asleep. What do I do?” Ysabelle knew that her afternoon exam was important, but she just could not make herself fall asleep.

“Then just keep your eyes close for a rest. You don't need to be asleep.”

“Am I disrupting your schedule? Maybe you should sleep in your room instead.”

The university entrance exam was the most important event in a person's life, and Ysabelle could not bear to let herself disturb Sophie.

“It's fine. I'll stay here with you. Be at ease. I could do those questions even if I were blindfolded.”

Hearing that, Ysabelle pursed her lips.

“Sophie, are you really trying to console me? Why do I feel even more upset after hearing you?”

Are you sure you're not here to gloat?

“Oops, sorry. I didn't mean to upset you.” Sophie genuinely did not mean to do that despite only speaking the truth.

Then, the two of them chatted away.

At one point, both fell asleep.

They did not set an alarm for their naps, but there were two men outside who would not let them miss their exams.

Around twenty past two, Tristan stood up.

“I'll wake them. What are you going to do?” Tristan said to Felix.

“If she's still unhappy, I'll go back. I don't want to distract them from their exams.”

No matter what happens, we'll talk after the exam.
