Chapter 736


    Chapter 736 Engaged To Another Man


    They were not sentimental people and wouldn''t normally say such cheesy words. However, that day


    was no ordinary day, so the words just came naturally to them.


    Sophie raised her ss and said, “Thank you, everyone!”


    These people had always been the ones who were sincere in lending a helping hand when they


    needed it the most.


    Ysabelle''s eyes brimmed with tears.


    “Sophie, I should be thanking you. If it weren''t for you, I wouldn''t be living here. I wish you nothing but


    happiness. You must tell me if Uncle Tristan dares to bully you.”


    Tristan rolled his eyes at his niece.


    “Ysabelle, mind your words. You''re a singer, not an actress. Sophie and I are going to be fine!” Tristan


    warned.


    Come on, are they seriously mocking us even before we get married?


    “Uncle Tristan, I''m just saying if that happens. You''re not allowed to bully Sophie, all right? I won''t let


    you off the hook if you dare to do so.”


    Ysabelle would have said the same to anyone marrying Sophie.


    “That''s enough. Don''t worry. He loves Sophie so much that there''s no way he''ll bully her!” Felix


    immediately hugged Ysabelle to stop her from saying more.


    She wasn''t like this before.


    Felix thought Ysabelle had changed after she knew Sophie. She grew very protective of thetter and


    was constantly worried that thetter might get bullied.


    “Okay.”


    Actually, Ysabelle knew her worries were unnecessary.


    However, she still wanted everyone else to know that nobody could bully Sophie.


    Cecelia and Butterfly smiled.


    “Sophie, I''m not going to talk your ears off. Just know that I wish you a happy life,” Cecelia said. She


    thought it was a little early for Sophie to settle down. However, she also knew that Tristan and Sophie


    would be happy together, unbridled by the usual problems guing other marriages.


    Cecelia''s eyes began to redden, and, in the end, tears started streaming down her face. It was


    supposed to be Sophie''s day of joy, marking the end of a long, dark chapter of her life, but Cecelia


    couldn''t help crying.


    Sophie''s best days are ahead of her.


    Sean was sitting right beside Cecelia. He took a tissue and handed it to her when he noticed her


    crying.


    Cecelia took the tissue and nced at the man next to her.


    He is so good-looking but too bad he''s like an iceberg.


    It was difficult not to fall for his good looks, and Cecelia couldn''t help but feel the urge to approach him.


    However, at the thought of Sophie''s warning, Cecelia shook her head and immediately dismissed the


    fleeting notion.


    Ah, forget it. My heart belongs to billions of my fans. I have no time to start this right now.


    Despite Sean''s appearance being Cecelia''s ideal type, she knew she couldn''t afford to get involved


    with him.


    She decided it was best to steer clear of the man.


    Then again, sometimes things just wouldn''t go as nned, and one''s heart could lead one down


    unexpected paths.


    However, that was a story for another time.


    After toasting the guests, Tristan and Sophie returned to William''s table to dine with them.


    Barney was seated at the same table and was pleased to see Sophie happy.


    She deserves others treating her right.


    The Tanner residence was buzzing with guests right then. At that moment, Nichs stood outside the


    door of the Tanner residence all alone.


    He did not head inside, knowing his appearance would cause a bigmotion, so he merely stood


    outside.


    Of course, he was well aware of what was happening back in the Tanner residence. Sophie and Tristan


    were getting engaged. He was only there because he had heard the news of their engagement party


    earlier.


    That''s my girl. How can she get engaged to another man?


    However, there was nothing he could do right then.


    Richard was waiting in the car. He knew how precarious the situation was to them. However, Nichs


    was standing right there, refusing to leave, and Richard had no choice but to wait for his boss.


    Boss has been standing here for almost an hour. It''s so cold in Jipsdale now. He must be freezing out


    there.


    Richard knew it was time to leave.


    Otherwise, the situation might go out of hand when guests started to leave the Tanner residence.


    Even though he was terrified of Nichs, Richard knew he should pluck up the courage to ask his boss


    to leave.


    Richard got out of the car and approached Nichs. “Boss, it''s about time we leave.”


    The guests in the Tanner residence were about to leave, and he couldn''t allow Nichs to be seen by


    them.


    However, Nichs didn''t budge.


    “Boss, let''s leave first. Haven''t you made the arrangements already? They''re not going to get married.


    Sophie will be your bride,” Richard added.


    You can get a divorce even if you''re married. Besides, they''re only getting engaged now. Richard didn''t


    think the engagement really mattered.


    Richard was different from Alex. As Nichs'' subordinate, Richard would strictly follow his boss''


    instructions and stop at nothing to ensure the tasks assigned to him were done.


    Nichs was very pleased with Richard''s performance, as thetter was exactly what he wanted in a


    subordinate.


    He was starting to move on from Alex''s death.


    As Nichs turned around, Richard opened the car door for him, allowing his boss to enter first before


    following suit and getting inside the car himself.


    The car was warm as summer, and the chill Nichs had felt soon dissipated.


    “Deal with it, Richard.”


    Nichs would never let Sophie be another man''s bride. Sophie was his and his alone. If Tristan


    insisted on snatching her away, Nichs would not hesitate to kill him.


    He had no fear even if things had to go to that extent.


    At most, he would lose his own life.


    “Boss, don''t worry. I will be sure to help you aplish whatever you set out to do no matter what it


    takes,” Richard said. His unwavering loyalty to Nichs was evident in his words.


    “Okay.” Nichs closed his eyes. “Drive the car to somece discreet. I want to look at her from afar.”


    It had been a long time since he hadst seen Sophie.


    He missed her terribly. The longing for her tore at his heart, keeping him up at night.


    Nichs had no idea how long he would have to endure the pain.


    However, he was positive that it would alle to an end one day.


    Meanwhile, in the Tanner residence, after having dinner, everyone chatted for a bit. However, time flew


    by, and it was soon time for William to head back home to take a good rest.


    “Dad, let me follow you home.” Tristan still had things to do, but it was time for William to go home.


    “Okay.” William was already tuckered out and reckoned that he should leave the youngsters to enjoy


    the rest of the evening.


    A group of people escorted William out of the house.


    Tristan personally opened the car door for his father and asked the driver to drive carefully.


    “All right, go back inside. It''s cold out here. I''m going to apany Dad home. Don''t worry,” Sarah said


    with a smile.

    As Tristan''s sister, she was d to see her little brother progressing into the next stage of his life with


    the love of his life.


    “Sarah, be careful on the way home, then. Mr. Fraser, please drive carefully,” Sophie reminded the


    driver again.


    “Mr. Lombard, Ms. Tanner, please go back inside. I''ll be careful on the road,” the driver replied with a


    smile.
