Pursuing Her

As soon as he finished speaking, Sophie's gaze turned cold.

“Are you sure you want to try?”

Tristan picked up another piece of lamb and put it on her plate.

“I was just joking. Don't take it seriously. No matter what you look like, I only like you. The feel of someone else's body has nothing to do with me.”

Well, whether he means what he says or not, it's still nice to hear.

Indeed, all girls loved to hear compliments.

They spent over an hour eating BBQ.

After the meal, Charles wanted to invite a pretty girl to join them.

The others around him had beautiful women with them. Since he was the only one alone, he was feeling miserable.

He hadn't even made the call yet when Tristan said coldly, “Don't bring those random girlfriends of yours here.”

Why did he call them my “random girlfriends”?

“Mr. Tristan, that's not fair. You're all paired up, and I'm the only one alone. And my new girlfriend is a decent girl.”

“Just don't bring anyone who you don't want to marry here in the future.” This was a place he gave to Sophie, and he didn't like random girls being there.

“Okay, I got it. It looks like I have to find a real girlfriend soon.”

Is it my fault that I haven't found true love? Man, they didn't even try to make me feel better, and on top of that, they made me feel like an outsider. It's seriously too much!

As the night unfolded, the group engaged in various games. However, Sophie didn't quite find herself enamored by the activities. She didn't think the games were interesting, but she stayed because Sarah and the others were there. She liked being with everyone.

Suddenly, Charles spoke up. “Honestly, it's not often that we have a chance to take a break, but we've done nothing meaningful. It's not really fulfilling.”

Felix replied without hesitation, “Well, if you feel that way, you can always go back to work.” He didn't care much for what others thought because he was content with his current lifestyle. He enjoyed being able to spend sweet, quality time with Ysabelle.
