Pursuing Her Chapter 52

Chapter 52 A Show To Watch“Just someone ordinary.”Sophie was not afraid of Eustace looking intoher.”An ordinary person who knows how to defuse a bomb?” Clearly, Eustace did not believeher.”I've read a few books in relevance to the topic.” If it wasn't for the urgency of the matter,Sophie would not have defused the bomb herself. “What's the matter? Are you going to arrestme?"“No. I'm just curious about you.” There's no need for that. I simply like readingbooks."“Regardless of everything, thank you. I'll buy you a meal another day.”It's fine. Also, I don'twant the reporters to replace out what I've done. It's annoying.”Sophie then took her bag from a policeofficer and quietly left the barricaded area. There were many reporters outside, and she did notwant to speak to any of them.There’s still blood on me. I should go back and clean myself up. Iprobably look quite frightening at the moment.When she took out her phone to look at the screen,she realized that Tristan had called her multiple times.She called him back.“Where are you? I'm outright now. Wait, I see your car. Don’t move. I'll come over now."All Sophie wanted was to leave thearea as quickly as she could while not catching anyone's attention.Meanwhile, after ending the call,Tristan alighted the car to wait for her. However, the first thing he noticed on her was the blood onher shirt.Instantly, he strode toward her.”"What happened?” I was only away from her for anafternoon. Why is she covered in blood now?“I'm fine,” was the only thing she said to him."You'recovered in blood, but you're telling me that you're fine?” Tristan growled, and the air around himturned cold.Who is it? Who's the one who dared lay a finger on my woman?“It's not my blood; I'mnot hurt. So don't worry.” After making sure that it really was not her blood, Tristan became at ease.He then opened the car door for her to enter the front passenger seat.”Ms. Tanner, how did you endup covered in blood after your shopping trip?““Bad luck. I met a piece of trash."Sophie hatedcriminals with high intellect the most. They're so smart, but instead of putting their intelligence togood use, they choose to commit crimes.Once Sophie returned to Wisteria Apartments, she took ashower and changed into a set of fresh clothes.She threw the bloodstained clothes into the trashcan, but when she thought about how the housekeeper was going to notice it, she tied up the trashbag and planned to throw it out later.“Let's go. Felix is going to have an early celebration forYsabelle’s birthday, and Ysabelle told me that I have to bring you there."Ysabelle and the otherswere at Gold Sea Club. The place was the most luxurious five-star club in Jipsdale.Just as Tristan andSophie entered the car, Ysabelle called.”Soph, hurry up. Everyone's waiting for you. What's thematter with my uncle? Why does he need to take so long to pick someone up?"“Somethinghappened, so you guys can start eating first if you're hungry.”“We're not. You can take your time.There's no need to hurry.”With that, Ysabelle ended the call.”She'll take a little while longer. Soph’s alittle busy right now.”"What can a student be busy about? I'd say it must be because she doesn'tcare about your birthday. The one who spoke was Winter.”Winter, I don't like the way you're talkingabout Soph. If she says that she’s busy, then she must be busy. If you're in a rush, you can leavefirst."Ysabelle was upset to hear Winter talk about Sophie in that way."Ysabelle, I don't meananything by it. I just don't think tardiness is good. It'll make her seem uncultured."The smile onYsabelle's face dropped. “Winter, I doubt talking behind someone's back is a culturedbehavior.”"Winter, you can leave first if you're busy,” Charles uttered unhappily. This woman keepstalking smack about Sophie. If Tristan were to hear her, even I wouldn't be able to protecther.Winter clamped her mouth shut.If it wasn't for Tristan, I wouldn't have wanted to come to thisplace! Besides, what kind of witch is Sophie to make Ysabelle so protective of her?“All right. Don't bemad anymore. We're all friends here,” Felix said, trying to defuse the situation."Who's friends withyou?” Ysabelle huffed, still angry.Felix patted her head.”Ysabelle...” There's really nothing I can doabout her.Ysabelle smacked his hand away."You're messing up my hairstyle."Right then, a serveropened the door to the room, and Tristan entered with Sophie.The moment Ysabelle saw Sophie,she beamed.“Sit here, Soph!"Ysabelle pulled Sophie to a seat beside hers.To Sophie's left wasYsabelle, while Charles was already sitting on her right. In other words, there was no space left forTristan to sit."Uncle Tristan, why are you still standing there? Take a seat!"When Charles saw Tristanlooking at him, he stood up and offered his seat to the latter. “Here you go, Mr. Tristan."We're justhaving a meal. Does he really need to stick by her side?Tristan took Charles’ seat without anyhesitation.With that, Winter was sitting by Tristan's other side.She did not care why Tristan wassitting there as long as she was sitting beside him.Felix then asked the server to bring the dishesover."Ysabelle will be having her birthday tomorrow. Old Mr. Lombard will surely take up most ofher time tomorrow, and there's nothing I can do about it, so I'll be celebrating her birthday heretoday. Thank you for coming, guys!“Felix opened a bottle of 1982 Chateau Lafite-Rothschild.Theserver then filled the glasses of the people by the table, but when she was about to fill Sophie'sglass, Tristan stopped her.”Just a hot glass of milk for her.”"Of course, mister.”It's Ysabelle's birthdaytoday, so all of us are drinking a little. Ms. Tanner, could it be that you're not of age yet?” Winterasked. Tristan ignored her.The others did the same, and Winter turned gloomy at once. It felt as ifsomeone had slapped her across the face."Happy birthday, Ysabelle!"Sophie took her glass of milkand stood up.“I'm glad that I'm friends with you, for you make me hate Jipsdale less."Ysabelle liftedher glass of red wine as well.”Soph, it's my pleasure to be friends with you too. We have to be goodfriends for the rest of our lives, okay? You have no idea how much I like you!"The two toasted, andYsabelle took a sip of her red wine while Sophie took a sip of her milk."Happy birthday, Ysabelle!You're all grown up before I even knew it.” Charles lifted his glass as well.“Thank you."Meanwhile,Sean only lifted his glass in Ysabelle's direction. He was a man of few words, after all.“Thankyou."Felix then put a meatball on Ysabelle’s plate."Our Ysabelle's finally all grown up.” I've beenwaiting so long for this day.Sophie was only inattentive for a split second, and when she came backto her senses, she realized that there was much more food on her plate than before At that, shecould not help but glance at Tristan.Is he trying to feed a human or a pig?After a few mouthfuls,Sophie lost her appetite. Just a glimpse at her plate, and she already felt full. Hence, she put all themeat onto Tristan’s plate.When the others noticed her actions, they stared at her.Winter sneered,thinking, Sophie must have a death wish! Everyone knows that Tristan is a germaphobe, but Sophiejust gave him the food that she has bit into before. Guess it's time for me to just sit back and watchthe show.”What's the matter? Why are you all looking at me?"Then, Tristan ate the food that Sophiehad bitten into in front of everyone.Charles gaped at the sight of it. Is this still the Mr. Tristan that Iknow?Even Sean was dumbfounded. I guess that's the end of Mr. Tristan, huh?Meanwhile, Felix didnot have much of a reaction. What's wrong with that? I'd be glad to eat anything Ysabelle can'tfinish, but sadly, I don't have the chance to do that.At the same time, Winter was shocked to hercore, Where did Mr. Tristan’s principles go? Isn't he the one with the most principles? Could it bethat he’s no longer a germaphobe?With that thought in mind, she mustered up the courage to puta piece of barbecue ribs onto Tristan's plate.
