Pursuing Her

The short and simple kiss was not enough for Tristan. He wrapped one arm around her waist and placed his other hand behind her head to deepen the kiss.

The atmosphere in the private room instantly became romantic and intimate.

Sophie was sitting on his lap in a seductive position.

A scandalous heat infused both their bodies as the kiss went on.

Tristan only drew away from her reluctantly when footsteps sounded outside the door.

The sight of her red, swollen lips made his heart race. Ah, I'm powerless before her. If I could, I would put her on an uninhabited island so that no one else could lust after her.

Just then, someone knocked on the door, and Tristan responded, “Come in.”

The servers came in with the dishes they ordered.

All the servers at The Crown were well-trained. They remained calm even after witnessing their intimacy. “Sir, the dishes have all been served. Do you need anything else?” one of them asked.

“No. You can leave now. I'll summon you when I need you.”

“Sure. Enjoy your meal.”

The servers filed out of the room. Sophie waited until they were gone before lifting her head. It was easy for others to guess what had happened earlier if they saw her swollen lips.

“Eat up. Didn't you say you were hungry?” Tristan got her a piece of fish.

Since knowing her, he had set a goal for himself: to fatten her up. In his opinion, she was too skinny.

Sophie had curves in all the right places, but he wished she could gain more weight and look healthier.

“Mm.” Sophie nodded.

Tristan began feeding Sophie earnestly. It seemed that he would do this automatically whenever he was with her.

Meanwhile, William still couldn't believe that Nicholas had tried to ask for Sophie's hand in marriage, and he didn't go to Tristan to discuss the matter.

He knew his son too well.

Knowing it would be pointless to talk to his son, William went to see Sophie instead. He arrived at the University of Medicine, but the security guard wouldn't let him drive into the campus.

William had to get out of his car.

“Old Mr. Lombard, let me go talk to them. They will let you in once they know who you are!”

The campus was huge. William had no idea where to find Sophie.

“There's no need to cause a scene.” William got out of the car and walked into the campus.

At the gate, he ran into the chancellor of the University of Medicine, Dominic Sawyer, who had seen his photo before.

Recently, William had been appearing in the news because of his donation of a national treasure to the country.

Dominic parked his car and hurriedly got out. “Hello, are you Old Mr. Lombard?”

Seeing that someone recognized him, William nodded. “Yes, I am. And you are?”

“I'm the chancellor of the University of Medicine, Dominic Sawyer. Oh, I can't believe I ran into you here, Old Mr. Lombard. Come, let's talk in my car!” Dominic invited eagerly.

He was excited to see someone who appeared on the news.

“Oh, there's no need to go to any trouble. I'm here to look for a student,” William said.

Dominic smiled. “It's no trouble at all. Who is the student you're looking for? I can have my assistant get them to come to see you!”

Unable to refuse Dominic's offer, William got into his car and was taken to his office.

“Old Mr. Lombard, who is the student you want to talk to? I'll have my assistant summon them,” Dominic said. He remembered what William had told him earlier.

“Sophie Tanner. She's a student here.”

“Oh, Sophie Tanner. What is her relationship with you? Old Mr. Lombard, Sophie is an amazing young lady. I'm really glad she's a student here!” Dominic enthused.

He proceeded to reveal Sophie's achievements and heaped praises on her.

That was the first time William had heard someone else talk about Sophie.

It seemed that Sophie was a wonderful young lady. Even Dominic had nothing but praise for her.

“Old Mr. Lombard, Sophie has good taste for choosing to come to our university. Do you know how smart she is? She has broken many records at our university! I've also read her latest thesis. She's the pride of Chanaea!” Dominic added.

He had assumed she was just a high achiever in the university entrance exam but had no idea she was that talented in medicine. The University of Medicine's reputation will increase as long as Sophie's here!

Right then, Dominic's assistant arrived at the classroom. Sophie's classmates started whispering when they learned that Dominic's assistant was there to look for Sophie.

“Is it related to the sulphuric acid incident?”

“I heard that the lab teacher has a powerful family behind his back. Sophie has gotten herself into trouble.”

“She deserves it for being so arrogant!”

Hearing their comments, Sandra and Simon shared a look.

“We'll accompany you there!” they offered. No matter what, they refused to let Sophie head there alone.

Sophie shook her head. “It's fine. Just stay out of this. I can go there alone. Stay focused in class.”
