Chapter 96 I Cannot Wait

“They left after they came back and saw you sleeping,” Tristan uttered calmly.”Oh.” Sophie madenothing out of it. Since they've already left, I guess I'll just eat with him alone."Wait for me. I'll washup, and we'll have dinner together." Tristan was elated when he heard her say “we.”Sophie went tothe bathroom and washed up. After wiping her face dry, she tied her hair up into a ponytail beforegoing out. Tristan got up from the couch right away when he saw her coming out.The two then wentout for dinner.By the time they were done with dinner, one hour had passed.The moment she gotback into her room, Ysabelle dashed toward her. “Soph, Uncle Tristan is a..."Ysabelle opened hermouth to speak, but she hesitated. Uncle Tristan is a monster! Do I even have words to describehim?“What's up with your uncle?” Sophie didn’t know what Ysabelle was trying to say."Soph, I'msorry. You wouldn't have known Uncle Tristan if it had not been for me.” Ysabelle was filled withguilt."Why are you apologizing to me?"Ultimately, Ysabelle asked, “Soph, did Uncle Tristan takeadvantage of you?"Despite being a calm and collected person, Sophie couldn't help but feelsurprised. As a result, she kept quiet for a while."See! I knew it! Since you guys were already sleepingtogether, there's no way Uncle Tristan could keep his hands off you. This is all Felix's fault. If I hadn'tgone out with him, you wouldn't have...” Ysabelle was on the verge of crying.“Ysabelle, yourimagination has run wild, hasn't it? I forgot to bring my keycard out with me, so I slept in youruncle's room. That's all,” Sophie answered. Who would've thought Ysabelle would have these dirtythoughts in her mind? She seems so innocent!”Are you sure?” Ysabelle wasn't convinced.Sophienodded, and she couldn't be bothered if Ysabelle believed her or not."That's good, then. I was soscared.”Sophie was rendered speechless. What's so scary?The trip to Koandria lasted for three daysand two nights.Since Sophie and Ysabelle were still students, they had only applied for three days’leave of absence.Although they were reluctant and wished to stay longer, they had to pack up andleave. While they were waiting at the airport, Wendy approached Sophie with a present in herhands.”"What's this?” Sophie asked."Thank you, Ms. Sophie.” Wendy gave her the present. Wendywas very grateful to Sophie because Sophie stood up for her.At that time, Wendy was utterlyfrightened. Hence, she felt touched when she saw Sophie defending her bravely.Sophie received thepresent with both hands. “Thank you."Upon hearing that, Wendy blushed. Ms. Sophie isawesome!She then cheerily went to sit with Wilma and the others.”Mr. Tristan, it seems like you haveanother competitor! Ms. Sophie is capable of charming both males and females!"“Of course! Sophieis that appealing,” Ysabelle chimed in.Tristan was rendered speechless.Sophie proceeded to keep thepresent Wendy had given to her in her luggage.”Wendy, what did you give Ms. Sophie? Don't tellme you've fallen for her.”Stop speaking nonsense, you guys!” Wendy blushed.Wilma just shook herhead upon hearing the conversation. Well, Ms. Sophie is very capable of making people fall forher.By the time they arrived at Jipsdale, it was already past eleven at night, and Tristan personallysent her back to Wisteria Apartments.”Go to sleep early tonight,” he said.”Okay."In fact, Tristan wasreluctant to leave. Although we've spent the past three days together, I want more. If only I couldhave known her a few years earlier."Goodnight.” With that, Sophie was about to head inside.Tristanreached out and held her hand. When she turned around, he pulled her into his embrace.”Sophie, Ican't wait for you to grow up."The next day, at noon, Sophie hailed a taxi and went to the hospitalafter school. However, she found out that Josiah wasn't in the ward anymore.Upon asking around,she was told that Josiah had already gone home.Sophie was feeling utterly helpless. This old mandoesn't listen, does he?Sophie then hailed a taxi to go to the Tanner residence. When Charmaine sawher come home, she immediately got the housekeeper to pour Sophie a glass of water.”You're back,Soph! Drink some water first. Your grandpa is in the study!“Due to how well Transfix Cosmetics wasdoing, there was a big possibility that Sophie would end up becoming the CEO of Tanner Group.Hence, Charmaine’s attitude toward Sophie changed drastically.No matter what, Sophie was still herdaughter. If Tanner Group were to end up in Sophie's hands, Charmaine would still need Sophie'shelp in the future.”I'm not thirsty.” Sophie went straight to the study, only to replace Josiah practicingcalligraphy.Upon seeing her, Josiah put his pen aside and asked concernedly, “You're back! Haveyou eaten?”“Grandpa, why didn't you listen to me? Didn't I tell you to stay in the hospital? I've justbeen away for three days, and you went home all by yourself.” Sophie was displeased.Still smiling,Josiah replied, “Calm down, Soph. I'm fine, really. I'm doing fine.”Sophie was speechless because shedidn't know how to handle Josiah."By the way, Transfix Cosmetics is doing well, right? Keep an eyeon your dad, okay? It seems like he has not given up yet."“Grandpa, I've said it before. Since you'vealready decided to let me manage Transfix Cosmetics, you should leave it to me.” It's not that I don'ttrust you. It's just that your dad... He's..."”Josiah was upset when he mentioned his only son.”I'll getyou a few bodyguards,” he added. Of course, he did not hope anything happened to Sophie thatmight require the bodyguards’ help, but they could keep her safe if Yale were to do something toher.Sophie was also well aware of what the despicable Yale was capable of doing."Don“t worry,Grandpa! I can take care of myself.” can’t help it, Soph. Do you blame me? If it were not for me,you wouldn't be in danger.”Indeed, it was selfish of him to let an eighteen-year-old girl deal withsuch matters.”Grandpa, I would never blame you.” After lunch, the driver sent Sophie and Willowback to school.”You're happy now, aren't you, Sophie?“Since there were only the three of them inthe car, Willow didn’t bother putting up an innocent front. Besides, she knew the driver was on herside.Sophie had her eyes shut and ignored her.“Sophie, do you hear me? So what if you've savedTransfix Cosmetics? What's so impressive about that? If someone were to give me an opportunitylike that, I can also achieve what you've achieved,” Willow added.Finally, Sophie opened her eyes,and she shot Willow a look casually. “You should request to manage a company that's on the vergeof bankruptcy, then. That way, you'll stop complaining.”In response, Willow scoffed and retorted,"What's so difficult about that? It's just that I'm never given such an opportunity. Grandpa doesn’teven want to hand anything down to me.”"In that case, perhaps you should stop whining in front ofme. Do you know how pathetic you look when you do that?"“You!"Sophie never liked to argue.However, Willow was no match for her once Sophie took the fight seriously.No matter what Sophiedoes, she'll never be able to marry Mason. Suddenly, Willow chuckled. “You're feeling smug, aren'tyou? Let's see how long that will last. Mason is coming back soon. The moment he arrives, we'regoing to get engaged.”"Mason?” Sophie hadn't heard that name in ages. In fact, she had almostforgotten about that person.
