    Chapter 662 Premarital Pregnancy


    “Why don''t we go about it this way? Since you and Sophie have decided to be an item, you should


    arrange for your mother and me to meet with her parents!”


    He''d conclude that it''d be best for them to make their rtionship official as he knew he couldn''t


    change anything and wished to have grandchildren soon.


    Both Tristan and Sophie, as well as Sarah, were taken aback by his announcement.


    “Dad, you''vee to terms with it?” Sarah was pleasantly surprised as it had turned out far better than


    expected.


    “Of course, I have. I always do. Jennifer seemed like a nice kid. Little did I expect her to end up in such


    a state. Well, I suppose we can''t me her for it.”


    “Why, Dad, you''ve always been wise, fair, and the most democratic person I''ve ever met. The absolute


    best father in the world!” Sarah ttered him in an attempt to distract William from anger.


    She dared not cause any more contention for Tristan and Sophie now that he had relented at longst.


    Tristan had not foreseen the old-fashioned William to be so pliant and had resolved to move out with


    Sophie.


    “Dad, are you certain?”


    “Tristan, what''s with all of you second-guessing my decisions? Are my words that iprehensible, or


    am I spouting gibberish?” William said gruffly to hide his slight embarrassment.


    Tristan held onto Sophie''s hand.


    “All right. I''ll arrange for you to meet Sophie''s parents as soon as possible.” No matter what, he and


    Sophie would be together forever. A meeting between their parents would seal the deal and make


    things official.


    “This was the reason I decided to visit you. I''ll be taking my leave now. I know how keen all of you want


    me to be gone.” William got to his feet.


    I must seem like a horrible viin in their eyes.


    Nheless, is there anything I''ve done wrong? All I did was for their own good.


    “Dad, since the weather is rather inclement today, why not stay over tonight instead of traveling back


    and forth? There are extra rooms in the mansion for you to stay in anyway.”


    There was indeed no point in such a hassle.


    The mes of William''s fury were stoked even further.


    How self-serving of them!


    Now that they''d had their way, their attitude had taken on aplete 180pared to their hostility


    when he''d newly arrived.


    William had no idea what the point of bringing up his son was when all he did was infuriate him.


    “Tristan, why didn''t you extend your invitation sooner? You''re as practical as the rest.” William fumed.


    “Just because you ask me to doesn''t mean I''ll do as you say.”


    I am no pushover!


    Besides, it was inconvenient for him to stay here, and he preferred going back to his ce since he


    was more familiar with it.


    “Dad, didn''t you miss Tristan? Since he''s happy to let you stay the night, let''s do as he says and not


    trouble ourselves going back and forth.” It was getting ratherte, and William was no longer a young


    man. It would be unnecessary for them to travel back as the journey would take an hour.


    “No. I feel morefortable staying at my own ce.”


    However, William had ns of his own.


    “Come over here, Tristan. There are several things I would like to instruct you.”


    William directed his gaze toward Sophie when Tristan did not budge.


    “What is it? Am I not even allowed to speak with him privately for a bit?”


    Sophie was stunned.


    Have I done something wrong?


    Haven''t I been keeping my mouth shut? Why is Old Mr. Lombard directing his fury at me? Tristan was


    rendered speechless at the helpless look on Sophie''s face.


    “Dad, what do you think you''re doing? I''ll do as you say. There''s no point getting all worked up!”


    Such hubbub was totally unwarranted.


    Couldn''t Dad be slightly more pleasant after approving our rtionship? Why does he have to be so


    difficult?


    Sarah and Sophie were the only ones left in the living room after Tristan and William excused


    themselves.


    Sarah took a seat next to Sophie.


    “My dad may be bad-tempered, but he bears no ill intentions. I hope you won''t take his words to heart.”


    It seemed like people tended to behave like children as they be older.


    Perhaps it was due to loneliness.


    They so often wish for their opinions to be heeded by their children.


    In fact, there was nothing wrong in hoping to receive more care and attention from one''s children.


    “Rest assured, Sarah. I understand.” Sophie was fairly indifferent about it.


    Naturally, she was delighted to have been approved by William, although she didn''t mind not having it


    either since it wouldn''t affect her.


    After all, William was Tristan''s father. She did not like seeing him being put in a difficult position if his


    father continued disapproving of them.

    All in all, she still hoped his family would give them their blessings.


    Sarah hooked her arm around Sophie''s shoulders.


    “Now that you''ve gotten Dad''s approval, it''d be best for you to schedule a date for a meeting between


    both our parents. You should keep them in the know, after all.”


    Sophie and Tristan''s parents have never met one another despite the pair having dated for no small


    amount of time.


    “Okay.”


    The toughest hurdle was gaining William''s approval. On the other hand, her parents could care less


    about such a thing.


    The only person that cared for her was no longer around.


    Therefore, what mattered the most was what pleased her.


    Moreover, Josiah was extremely happy with Tristan.


    At the same time, William had led Tristan outside.


    Tristan was tongue-tied.


    “Dad, why do we have to be so secretive? The weather is freezing out here. Can''t we have this


    conversation in the study instead?”


    Why ever did he deem it necessary to stand out here in the cold?


    “There''s no need. I''ll be done shortly and will be leaving after that.”


    “Fine. Feel free to speak your mind.” Tristan was in a better mood after his rtionship with Sophie


    was approved and had slightly more patience to listen to what William had to say.


    “Both of you should have a child soon! Our household has not seen the birth of a new life in a long


    time. Even Lincoln only has Ysabelle as a daughter. I wish to have a chance to see more grandchildren


    while I''m still alive.”


    William''s drastic change in attitude caught Tristan off guard.


    “I won''t be staying here tonight as I''m giving you a chance to get on it! As my son, you have to promise


    me this.”


    “Dad, you''re asking for too much. How can you expect a grandchild when Sophie and I aren''t even


    married yet?”


    Is he out of his mind?


    “We''re living in the twenty-first century. Just look at the number of people who''ve had a premarital


    pregnancy. I certainly don''t mind.”


    “That''s enough. I get the idea. You should be on your way if you want to go back.” Tristan had no desire


    to spend a second longer out in the biting-cold weather.


    Tristan and Sophie went back into the house only after William''s car departed.


    “Should we arrange for a meeting?” Tristan was concerned about Sophie''s feelings, albeit William''s


    instruction that they make ns for it.
