Pursuing Her

Chapter 966 Establish A New Order

Tristan swept a gaze over Felix.

“I think it’s more like you’re jealous. Who wears a shirt while training, especially in such hot weather? Do you have no abs?”

“Who said so? I do! Of course, I’ve got abs!” Dejection swamped Felix. My abs are just not that prominent. He then turned to Ysabelle. “I really do have abs, Ysabelle.”

Hearing that, Ysabelle could not help bursting into giggles.

“All right, it doesn’t matter whether you’ve got abs. I like you, not your abs,” she asserted.

“But you were totally engrossed when you stared at their abs,” Felix whined pitifully.

“Well…” How am I to explain that? Everyone likes to admire things that are pleasing to the eye. Ysabelle countered. “That doesn’t detract from the fact that I like you!”

“Fine, then.”

What else can I say to that? When I’ve recovered, I’ll definitely train hard and develop my abs. Otherwise, I wouldn’t be able to stand having her peek at other men’s abs all the time!

After the morning training, everyone had breakfast together. The instant the men under Tristan’s command spotted Sophie, they all sat far away, for the memory of Bertram being put through the wringer remained vivid in their minds.

Considering Ms. Tanner’s capabilities, Mr. Tristan is probably the only person in the entire base who’s her match.

“Whatever did you do, Sophie? Why do I feel as though everyone is terrified of you today?” Ysabelle was wholly ignorant about the entire matter.

“Nothing much. I merely sparred with Bert, and they all happened to witness it.” That was all that transpired

“Haha!”

Following Sophie’s blithe answer, Felix inexorably laughed out loud, for he knew her capabilities. She m have wiped the floor with Bertram!

“Why are you laughing?” Ysabelle asked in puzzlement. Was that funny?

“No reason.”
