Pursuing Her

It was already past midnight by the time Tristan and Sophie arrived in Chanaea.

They didn’t tell anyone about their return as they wanted to head back and get some sleep. However, they saw Ysabelle, Felix, Sean, and Charles waiting for them at the airport.

“We didn’t tell you guys about our return, so how did you guys know we were coming back?”

They had chosen not to tell anyone because they didn’t want them to come to pick them up this late.

Ysabelle stepped forward and hugged Sophie as she replied, “We have our ways of finding out!” Unbeknownst to the two, Bertram had made a post about their return on Instagram.

All they had to do was give him a call to ask about the couple’s flight schedule.

“I’ve missed you so much. Sophie!” Although they had only been separated for a little over a week, Ysabelle felt as though it had been a year.

That was a feeling men would never understand.

“Welcome back!” Sean had been really busy lately, but he came over to welcome them home anyway.

“Why did so many of you have to come to pick us up? And you, Ysabelle! There is news about you all over the internet! You should be laying low at home instead! Tristan yelled at them in annoyance.

“Why are you so mean to me, Uncle Tristan? I only came here because I missed Sophie! I wouldn’t have bothered to come if it was just you who came back!” Ysabelle snapped back at him.

In other words, they were only there because of Sophie.

Felix wrapped an arm around Ysabelle’s waist in a protective manner and said, “Hey, Mr. Tristan! My girlfriend is just as precious as yours, so be nice to her, okay?”

Sophie let out a chuckle when she heard that. “He’s just tired, that’s all. Come on, let’s go home. People might think something big is going down in Jipsdale if they see you all here!”

“We only came because we haven’t seen you two in a long time,” Ysabelle mumbled with a pout.

Honestly, Uncle Tristan sure is a petty one! He has been hogging Sophie all to himself for so long! Is that not enough?
