Pursuing Her Chapter 72

Chapter 72 Should I Follow The Car

Tristan calmly picked up the bowl. Bringing the porcelain bowl to his mouth, he took a huge gulp.It'sastringent and spicy. Sure enough, it tastes strange.Sophie continued gazing at him expectantly,hoping that he would finish it all.Under her hopeful gaze, Tristan mustered his courage and downedthe rest of the ginger tea."How was it?” Sophie even remembered to ask him for his opinion.”It wasgood.”"When Sophie said nothing to that, Tristan reiterated, “Really, it was delicious!"“All right, then!Since you like it, I'l make it for you again next time."At that, Tristan went silent instead.”Or do younot like it?"“Of course not! I love it!"Sophie washed the porcelain bowl and earthen pot beforespinning on her heel and leaving the kitchen.”Do you need my help with Letitia Gatrell?” Tristan hada thousand ways to have Letitia speak the truth.He was naturally aware that the woman deliberatelyframed Transfix Cosmetics, but even if he wanted to help Sophie, it still depended on whether shewanted to accept his help."No, it's okay. I can handle it by myself."All at once, Tristan’s expressiondarkened.”What's wrong?” Hmm, why does the atmosphere feel as though it's somewhatchilly?“Nothing’s wrong. Tristan hoped that Sophie would rely on him no matter the problems sheencountered, but she wanted to resolve everything herself, the thought of asking for his help neveronce crossing her mind. That had him feeling very much defeated.”I'm not as weak as you think, Mr.Tristan.” Truly, I can settle it by myselfi“Okay." Tristan was noncommittal.Gah! This is not an issue ofweak or otherwise! I merely want to help her.All right, sleep earlier. You've still got classtomorrow.”Not only does she have to attend classes, but she also has to handle the affairs of TannerGroup, so she must be exceedingly busy!"Okay."Sophie didn’t think much about it, merely whirlingaround and returning to her room. Tristan, on the other hand, stayed in the living room for a whilebefore leaving.At ten past seven in the morning, Sophie headed out after washing up, donning herschool uniform, and snagging her schoolbag.No sooner had she exited the residential area thanEustace, who had been waiting for her there, blocked her path.”Ms. Tanner, I need a favor from you.”Being a macho man, he was a tad embarrassed when he said that.”I'm busy, Captain Sheppard!”After all, she still had to go to school.” know it's really mortifying that I need your help all the time,Ms. Tanner. How about this? I'll treat you to breakfast, and you do me a favor in return.”In Jipsdale,Eustace had never lowered himself so much before anyone.He had always been invincible, both inconducting investigations and performing his duties.However, he had no choice but to admit to hisinadequacy in front of Sophie.”Never mind, forget about that. Let's go!” All of a sudden, regretswamped Sophie.l must have had some wires crossed back then that I actually went to the policestation. If I hadn't gone in person at that time, I wouldn't have gotten myself stuck with such atroublesome man!“Let’s go. I'll bring you to have breakfast first. You probably haven't had breakfast,yes?"Eustace drove a SWAT car that day, so it was rather ostentatious.He went over and opened thepassenger door for her.Meanwhile, Willow had just alighted from the car when she spotted Sophiegetting into the SWAT car.Unbidden, her eyes narrowed a fraction.Whipping out her phone, shequickly snapped a photo of it. Who exactly is that man with Sophie? He appears to be a tough nut.Therefore, what exactly is so great about her? Why are there always such formidable figures aroundher? Conversely, I've worked myself to the bone, but I've only got Mason on my side.”You'd bestpray that I don't replace any dirt on you, Sophie. Otherwise, I'll crush you right away, allowing you noopportunity to ever make a comeback!"“Mr. Tristan..."The driver didn't dare utter a single word as hesat there like a statue.Mr. Tristan went to The Crown early in the morning and bought breakfast forMs. Tanner, even bringing it over personally. Unexpectedly, he witnessed her getting into anotherman’s car.“Should I follow the car?”It was his first time encountering such a situation, so he didn'tknow what to do."Yeah.”Just when the driver was going to start the engine, Tristan changed histune.”Never mind. She has her own freedom."Words eluded the driver.I've been working for Mr.Tristan for a long time, but this is the first time I'm seeing this side of him. It looks like he's reallyirrevocably in love with her.”Give me a cigarette.”I'll go and buy some cigarettes for you, Mr.Tristan! Mine is too cheap.”It's okay. Just give me a stick.”Left with no other choice, the driver tookout a stick of cigarette from the cigarette box and handed it to Tristan alongside the lighter.Onlyafter Tristan had finished the cigarette than he ordered, “Let's go! Head to Lombard Group."Thedriver finally breathed a sigh of relief. The atmosphere in the car was too frigid, so he hadn't daredto speak at all. At the same time, Eustace had a hand on the steering wheel as he typed the locationinto his phone with the other."The breakfast fare at The Crown is pretty good. Let's go and eatthere!" There's no need to go to such trouble. We can just have something simple.”It's notrouble."Eustace drove to The Crown. He then ordered plenty of food for the two of them.Sophiewas very quiet when she ate. She didn't eat much, so she merely sat there and scrolled through herphone when she had finished eating.Seeing that she was already full, Eustace had the server packsome food for his team members.There were many people on his team, so he ordered a lot fortakeaway."You're pretty nice to your subordinates.”Sophie voluntarily helped him carry some of thebags upon seeing that he couldn't carry everything.” suppose so. In our line of work, we risk ourlives every day, and a single misstep would result in our demise. As such, our bond is forged indeath and blood."At that, Sophie stopped pursuing that subject.Ultimately, Eustace was not wrongat all.All cases that ended up assigned to the SWAT team were difficult cases.Soon, the car droveright into the police station."Captain Sheppard is back!” Danny knew that Eustace had gone to pickSophie up, so he had been waiting outside After the jeep came to a stop, Sophie came out of thevehicle.As soon as Danny spotted her, he immediately ran over.”You're here, Ms. Tanner? I ran into aproblem recently. Can you please take a look at it for me?"“Sure."Sophie went over and helpedEustace with the takeover.”"Whoa! Breakfast from The Crown! You're too nice to us, CaptainSheppard!””Ms. Tanner, Captain Sheppard is very nice to others!"“Exactly! Captain Sheppard isdefinitely a great man, so you must cherish him!"Similar sentiments rang out, one afteranother.Sophie was rendered wholly speechless. So, what are they doing now? Are they promotingtheir captain?“All right, that's enough. What nonsense are you all spouting? Go and eat!"Themoment Eustace spoke, his team members took their breakfast to the side and started wolfingdown the food.There was a cafeteria in the police station, and the food was pretty good aswell.Compared to the food from The Crown, however, it was still not quite up to that level.Dannybrought Sophie to the technical department.”Are you not eating?"“I'm not hungry.”“Ms. Tanner,Captain Sheppard is really nice although he’s a bloody hero to the outside world.”“ Danny, is CaptainSheppard aware that you're promoting him in such a manner?”I just came over to do them a favor,so why are they all promoting Captain Sheppard? Whatever kind of person he is has nothing to dowith me!”l don’t mean anything. I just want to tell you that Captain Sheppard is really an amazingman! If you want to replace a boyfriend, you can consider him."Danny didn’t bother masking hisintentions at all. If she becomes Captain Sheppard's girlfriend, I'll be able to ask her questionsfrequently in the future! Just the mere thought of it is intoxicating!
