Pursuing Her
Chapter 405
Surprisingly, Cillian began provoking her.
“Mr. Larkin, to be honest, I don't think I can learn much in military school.” Even the teachers in school might not be able to hold themselves against her when it came to fighting.
If that was the case, she saw no reason to waste time on the endeavor.
Cillian didn't know what to say, not having expected such a response from her.
This girl sure can be cocky. But oddly enough, it's not annoying. On the contrary, I like it a lot.
“I'm serious. I don't need to go to military school if I want to learn how to fight.” She had had to survive for a long period in places far more ruthless than military school, so she didn't see much value in what the lessons in military school could bring her.
“Eustace is right. You aren't easily convinced by others. No matter the case, I do owe you a big one this time. Come to me directly if you need something in the future.”
Cillian gave her his private phone number.
“This is my private phone number. I will be the one to pick up if you contact this number!”
He had plenty of time. Besides, he wasn't expecting to convince Sophie right away.
“Okay.” Sophie didn't refuse that offer.
After all, his offer would make things much easier in Jipsdale.
She showed Cillian out after that.
Yale asked immediately, “Soph, what did Mr. Larkin say to you? He seems to have taken a liking to you. How did you get to know him?”
He was extremely curious.
“I just happened to save his pet, so he came to offer his gratitude.”
To save herself some trouble, Sophie didn't intend to tell him she had actually saved Cillian.
“I see.”
Yale believed in her.
However, Josiah didn't, but he didn't press for the truth upon noticing that Sophie didn't want to talk about it.
“Soph, how does Mr. Larkin intend to show his appreciation?” Yale was ultimately more interested in that. Nothing else mattered as long as he could reap the benefits.
“He wanted to offer me some money, but I didn't take it.” The question was already grating on Sophie's nerves, so she escorted Josiah inside instead.
“Soph, I don't need you to be anyone outstanding or powerful. All I wish for is your safety and happiness!” Josiah was aware that being acquainted with people like Cillian wasn't necessarily a good thing.
“Don't worry, Grandpa. I know what I'm doing.”
Working alongside powerful leaders came with its own risks.
The more powerful they were, the harder they were to deal with.
After Josiah was escorted inside the house, it was time for him to rest, so Tristan and Sophie sent him back to his room before leaving the Tanner residence.
In the car, Sophie asked, “Don't you have any questions for me?”
“Do you have anything that you'd like to talk about?”
He would gladly listen if she needed an ear, but he wouldn't push if she didn't wish to touch on the topic.
After all, he was never someone who liked to push other people.
“Eustace needed a favor from me, which came in the form of Mr. Larkin. I saved his life. Now, he wishes for me to follow in his footsteps.”
“I see. Mr. Larkin is quite a force to be reckoned with. Besides, he's a just man who also happens to wield some power within Chanaea.”
“But I turned down his offer. I will forge a future for myself by venturing down my own path in my own way! I don't need help from anyone!”
She was equipped with the necessary skills for that.
“You've got some guts!” Tristan commented while looking at her with pride.
“Of course! Have you forgotten whose girl I am?”
I have Tristan as my boyfriend!
“He will probably show up again. He's incredibly persistent, so expect a second encounter with him now that you've turned him down this time.”
“It's fine. I know what I should do.”
Because the university entrance exam had ended, Ysabelle had nothing to do at home. Still, her father didn't want her to go loitering elsewhere, so Tristan and Sophie had to go fetch her at the Lombard residence.
Sophie tagged along, but she stayed in the car and didn't take a step out of it when Tristan went to get Ysabelle.
When Sarah noticed her figure in the car, she teased, “What made you bring her along? Aren't you worried that Dad might find out about her?”
“I'm not worried about that!” Tristan had always been a bold one. He just didn't want Sophie to feel annoyed.
“Jeez, I heard that Dad urged you to go on blind dates! You'd better handle this carefully.”
Sarah liked Sophie a lot, so she wished for the latter to be well cared for.
“Sarah, I've always been very nice to you, haven't I?” Tristan asked abruptly.
“Yeah. Why ask? You're my younger brother, so shouldn't that be a given?” She never once questioned that. “What is it? Do you have a favor to ask? Spill it out. I don't like when people beat around the bush.”
