Pursuing Her

Chapter 486

“What?” Sophie couldn't help but suspect she heard things wrongly as her cheeks turned pink.

She felt a burning sensation coursing through her entire body.

Seeing her reaction, Tristan knew she had misunderstood him.

“I mean, help me wipe down my body,” he clarified.

He wanted to tease her longer initially but decided to spare her.

Otherwise, he would be the one suffering in the end.

“Oh,” Sophie grunted in response. She got more embarrassed after learning that it was a misunderstanding on her side.

Oh, dear. What was I thinking? Why did I come up with such a shameful thought?

Sophie rolled up the hems of his pants to wipe his legs.

However, the bulge between his legs proved that she wasn't the only one who had other thoughts.

Tristan was undoubtedly feeling awkward.

Nevertheless, it was perfectly normal to be aroused when the love of his life was right before him.

No matter how much self-control he had, he was still an ordinary man.

Sophie swiftly wiped down his entire body and helped him to change into fresh clothes.

In the process, she was obliged to touch his body.

The intimate interaction was pure torture to Tristan.

Nonetheless, he enjoyed how Sophie meticulously took care of him.

I can only enjoy her service when I'm hurt, huh?

He suddenly spoke. “I realized that it is a good thing to get hurt.”

Sophie gaped incredulously. What is he talking about? I'm worried sick about him! How dare he say it's a good thing that he got hurt?

Tristan added, “I mean, we are both usually busy with our work. After I got hurt, we both have more free time.”

They had been together for some time but didn't actually get to spend a lot of time with each other.


“All right, then. I will spend more time with you in the future,” Sophie promised.

She didn't want him to get hurt since she would worry and fear for his safety.

Tristan invited, “Come on. Join me in bed.”

“I don't think so. The hospital bed is quite narrow.”

If the bed collapsed, other people would overthink and assume they did something on the bed.

“It's fine. The bed is sturdy and won't collapse,” Tristan assured her.

Sophie was speechless. Suddenly, it occurred to her that their conversation was quite amusing.

With that thought in mind, she burst out giggling.

“Come on,” Tristan urged.

Sophie had worked hard all by herself, so he wanted her to rest in bed for a while.

At his insistence, Sophie had no choice but to join him in bed.

She lay on her side beside him to avoid pressing on his wound.

Warmth spread through Tristan's heart when he saw how obedient she was. Soon, he fell asleep.

At the sight of Tristan's pale face, Sophie reached out to touch his lashes.

His lashes were long and gorgeous. She felt her heart skip a beat as she observed him carefully.

Tristan was flawlessly handsome, and she couldn't help but grow attached to him.

The next day, Sarah came over to take over Sophie's duty.

“Sophie, thank you!” she thanked Sophie gratefully.

“It's fine, Sarah. Don't worry about me. Actually, I can take care of him myself,” Sophie replied.

She was perfectly capable of doing that. Besides, Tristan also hired a caregiver to help her out so she wouldn't get too tired.

“I know you want to stay by his side, but you need to rest. I'm his sister so just leave it to me!” Sarah told her.

“Sarah, there is no need for you to stay. Go back home. Sophie can stay here with me,” Tristan interjected.

It was more comfortable for him to spend time with Sophie.

After all, Sarah was a woman.

It wasn't convenient for her to take care of him.

“Tristan, what do you mean by that? Are you annoyed that I want to take care of you? I know you want to be by Sophie's side at all times, but you need to consider her health!” Sarah retorted.

Sophie's health would suffer if she keeps pulling all-nighters!

“Sarah, I'm fine,” Sophie insisted.

Sarah rolled her eyes. “Fine, just spoil him all you like. Sophie, listen carefully. You shouldn't spoil men, get it?”

If this were to go on, Sophie would be the one suffering in the end.

Tristan cut in, “Sarah, are you really my sister?”

Sarah snapped, “Even if I'm your sister, you can't change my mind. Don't you dare bully Sophie, okay? Otherwise, I will beat you up!”

Look how obedient Sophie is. Can't he treat her better?

Tristan was touched by how protective Sarah was of Sophie. “You see this, Sophie? Sarah and Ysabelle are on your side. If you marry me, I won't even dare to tease you,” he told Sophie.

Sophie had no idea he would suddenly mention that.

Is this a marriage proposal?

Sarah protested, “Hey, Tristan. Where is your sincerity? You don't have a ring or roses. You're not serious at all but want her to marry you? Dream on!”

Tristan shrugged. “Okay, then. I will ask for her hand in marriage next time.”
