Chapter 99 Look Into Him
“Mom, don’t meddle in my personal matters,” Mason retorted coldly.Constance was enraged. “I'myour mother! If not yours, whose private matters am I supposed to meddle in? Don’t you knowabout Sophie's bad reputation? I'm warning you. Stay away from Sophie. Otherwise, I'll donateeverything the Laird family owns and leave nothing for you.”"Mason knew all along how much hismother hated Sophie. “Okay. I have things to attend to. Find your own ride home.”Mason stillwanted to have a private talk with Sophie."Don“t you dare look for Sophie! Otherwise, you'll besurprised by what I'm capable of.” Constance had resorted to threatening Mason.”Mason, where areyou going? I can keep you company.” When Willow came out, she heard Mason saying that he wasleaving. Right away, she offered to accompany him."That's not necessary. Go home!"Willow thenqueried indignantly, “Mason, did I do anything wrong? Why are you giving me the coldshoulder?"“You did nothing wrong.” Mason was annoyed when he saw her expression.“Let's go,Willa.” Constance wanted her to leave because she didn't want to see Willow getting
mistreated. When Sophie got back to the private room, she sat in her initial seat.”ls everything okay?Why were you gone for so long, Soph?” Ysabelle was just about to go look for her.”I'm fine.” Sophiedidn't want to reveal much.Dissatisfied, Felix asked, “Belle, are you serious? Sophie had only gone tothe restroom. Why would you want to follow her there?"“What does it have to do with you? It'snone of your business."Felix was hurt. What do you mean it's none of my business? I'm concernedabout everything you do!After the meal, they left the private room.Sophie and Ysabelle werestanding by the roadside while waiting for Tristan and Felix to bring their cars around.”Soph, thefinal exam is coming up. What are your plans after the final exam?” Ysabelle asked. Although it's justa short break, it's better than none!“I'm going back to Horington.” Sophie had unfinished businessin Horington. I've promised to pay Wings of Light a visit, and I haven't done that yet. Come to thinkof it, I still have a lot of things to attend to over there.”What are you going to do in Horington? CanI tag along?” Even though the winter break would only last for less than a fortnight, Ysabelle wasunwilling to separate from Sophie.”Sophie, we need to talk.” Suddenly, Mason showed up.Sophiecouldn't help but frown when she heard his voice. Why is he still here?Ysabelle looked at Masoncuriously. This man is quite good-looking. Upon a closer look, he looks quite similar to Uncle Tristan.However, they possess different auras. This man is gentle and elegant, while Uncle Tristan isdomineering and ruthless."Mason, we don't have anything to talk about,” Sophie said. We shouldjust let bygones be bygones.”Sophie!” Mason thought Sophie was just throwing a tantrum.Rightthen, Tristan arrived in his car, and he shot a glance at Mason.”Soph, Uncle Tristan is here,” Ysabelleuttered.”Okay."Mason saw Tristan in the car, and he kept sizing Tristan up. Who's this man? What'shis relationship with Sophie?“Sophie, we need to have a talk in private,” Mason repeated.”Mason, Ihave nothing to do with you, so there's nothing to talk about. I'm leaving.” Sophie opened the cardoor and was about to hop in.All of a sudden, Mason grabbed her hand and refused to let herleave Tristan was infuriated when he saw that. He wants to lose his hand, doesn't he?"Must you dothis? No matter what, we're still friends, aren't we?” Mason asked.”I'm your friend? I'm not worthy ofbeing your friend, Mr. Mason Laird.” Sophie pulled her hand away from him aggressively.”Don't everlook for me again! You're disgusting!” After saying those vicious words, Sophie got into the car andclosed the car door.By then, Felix had also arrived, so Ysabelle got into his car as well. After that,both the cars drove past Mason and left.Upon seeing that, Mason narrowed his eyes.Indeed, fiveyears ago, I wavered because of the rumors about her, but I regret it now. Throughout my threeyears in Anglandur, there wasn't a single day gone by that I didn't think of her. In fact, the memoriesseemed even clearer as time goes by.That was why he came back, and he was determined to holdon to her this time around. However, how can I forget about how unforgiving Sophie is? Surely,she’s not going to just accept me so easily. Also, I need time to deal with my relationship withWillow. Basically, this time around, I'm not going to believe a word anyone says. I'll stand bySophie's side and not let anyone hurt her.Sophie was silent as they drove back.Meanwhile, Tristanwas also focused on the road, and neither of them said a word to each other throughout thejourney back. When they finally arrived at Wisteria Apartments, Tristan refused to leave."What'swrong?” Sophie spoke at long last."May I go in and have a glass of water?” Tristan knew how lamehis excuse was, but he couldn't be bothered.Since she hasn't agreed to be my girl, I can't ask her totell me anything if she doesn't want to do that.Nonetheless, he was still reluctant to leave.He simplywanted to stay by her side.Sophie scanned her fingerprint, and the door opened. As she waswalking in, Tristan was following closely behind.Tristan never thought he would be acting socautiously in front of a girl.Sophie then poured him a glass of hot water. “Here.” Tristan took theglass and took a sip.“Isn’t the water hot?” she asked puzzledly when she saw him drinking it rightaway.”It's hot.”“Mr. Tristan, are you all right?” That was the first time she had seen him being soabsent-minded.”I'm all right."Tristan put the glass on the coffee table and said, “Go to sleep earlytonight, okay? Your final exam is around the corner. Study hard.” In the end, Tristan left WisteriaApartments without asking her anything.Sophie wasn't fazed by Mason's appearance at all. Aftersurfing the internet for a while, she went to bed to sleep.The moment she got into bed, she receiveda text from Ysabelle.Ysabelle: Soph, who's the man we saw earlier today?Sophie: He's an ex-classmate.Ysabelle: Is that all he is? It doesn’t seem like it, though!Ysabelle's interest waspiqued.Sophie: I'm not saying anything anymore. I'm going to sleep.Ysabelle: Soph! Satisfy mycuriosity, will you? That man is quite an eye candy! Were you guys romantically involved with eachother?It seemed that she wasn't going to get any sleep if she failed to get answers fromSophie.Unfortunately, no matter how many times she texted Sophie, Sophie left her text messagesunread.That was because Sophie had already put her phone aside and gone to sleep.That night,Felix asked Tristan doubtfully, “Are you okay, Mr. Tristan?"Tristan took a sip of his whiskey and slowlyput his glass aside."Think of it this way, Mr. Tristan. That guy from the Laird family is neither morehandsome, richer, nor taller than you. There's no way Soph is going to fall for him.”“That guy fromthe Laird family? Mason Laird?" Charles had heard of that name before.”Should we look into him?”Sean questioned.What's the fuss about? We'll know everything about him after we've looked intohim.
