Pursuing Her

“All right. But, no matter what, it’s better to be careful.”

“I know. Don’t worry. I’ll take good care of our child.” Sophie was already an adult. She knew how to take care of herself.

“No. My worry for you is above everything else. I just want you to be safe.” What’s the use of having a child if she’s not around? She still holds the most important place in my heart.

“I know,” Sophie said. Of course, she knew how deeply in love the man was with her.

Since Felix had already booked the entire hotel today, Tristan decided to bring Sophie to one of the rooms.

Charles and the others persisted in their playful antics within the newlyweds’ presidential suite. Tristan and Sophie believed that Charles would face his own reckoning when it was his turn to marry.

After showering, Sophie climbed into bed and drifted into a restless sleep plagued by nightmares.

As she awoke, she discovered her body drenched in perspiration.

“What happened? Did you have a nightmare?” Tristan, lying beside her, gently woke her up, unable to bear witnessing her distress.

As soon as Sophie saw Tristan beside her, she immediately threw herself into his arms, embracing him tightly.

“It’s okay now. It’s just a dream. I’m always here with you,” he said. No matter what happens, we’ll stay together forever.

“I’m feeling better now,” Sophie said. However, as soon as she spoke, she realized her voice had become hoarse and her throat was sore.

Upon hearing her raspy voice, Tristan realized she must have caught the flu.

“I’ll get the hotel to make you a cup of ginger tea since you’re pregnant and can’t take medicine.” Tristan grabbed a piece of tissue to wipe her face before planting a kiss on her forehead.

“Okay,” she replied obediently. Deep down, Sophie knew it would still take a week for her to fully recover, but she still gave him a positive response, not wanting him to worry about her well-being.

After helping her change into a pair of dry clothes, Tristan called the hotel and asked them to make her a cup of ginger tea. I would have brought her home had I known she was not feeling well. It would have been more convenient for me to look after her at home.
