Chapter 777


    Chapter 777 Never Touched Before


    “You don''t have to worry about my rtionship with Charles either. We''rerades who have been


    through thick and thin, and he understands me.”


    “Don''t worry about me! Do I look like the kind of person who would willingly bear grievances for others


    to you?”


    Tristan shook his head.


    She wasn''t the kind of person who would bear grievances for others, but she was the kind who would


    do it for him.


    However, that was absolutely uneptable as well.


    As they sat close together, Sophie couldn''t help but smile at Tristan''s serious expression.


    “You''re even more concerned about me than my dad. My dad isn''t even that worried about me!”


    “Sophie, I don''t want to be your dad. I want to be your man!” And with that, Tristan pushed her down


    and captured her cherry-red lips with his.


    He kissed her tenderly, and although it was just a kiss, he cherished every moment he had with his


    beloved woman.


    After the kiss, he held her in his arms, feeling the tenderness that was meant for him alone. Only in


    moments like these would he feel her need for him.


    Sophie was overly independent most of the time, as she was always able to handle everything perfectly


    on her own.


    “Speaking of which, where''s Willow? Where did you leave her?” Sophie asked, realizing that she hadn''t


    inquired about her in a while because she didn''t find it necessary.


    For as long as she could remember, she had been a paragon of patience and forgiveness when it


    came to Willow. And with the uing Christmas festivities, she couldn''t help but feel that if her


    beloved grandfather were still with them, he would want nothing more than for Willow toe home


    and join the celebrations.


    “Why bother caring about her? She''s not worth your time,” Tristan replied coldly. Willow is an ungrateful


    and shameless woman who deserves to suffer. Let her spend Christmas alone on that deserted ind!


    Christmas is no different from any other normal day for her. Anyone who dared to bully Sophie would


    do well to prepare for the worst, as I would not tolerate anyone mistreating Sophie.


    Nevertheless, Sophie insisted, “I think my grandfather would want to see her at home during


    Christmas.” After all, Willow was still his granddaughter.


    Josiah was Sophie''s only weakness.


    She would make concessions for him that she wouldn''t make for anyone else.


    “Fine, I''ll bring her back. But if she dares to hurt you again, I won''t let her off,” Tristan huffed, thinking


    that Willow was no match for Sophie anyway.


    “Okay!”


    I''ve never been afraid of her so it doesn''t matter.


    After months alone on the ind, Willow had to learn how to farm and cook for herself.


    In just a few months, she now looked like a middle-aged woman in her thirties, and her skin had


    be especially tanned.


    Upon seeing a ship approaching, she no longer held any hope. She had sought help when she saw


    ships before, but this ind belonged to Tristan; no one dared toe near, let alone take her away


    from there.


    It wasn''t until the ship stopped and someone came down that she heard, “Willow, let''s go! You''ve


    always wanted to leave, right? It''s almost Christmas, so we''ll take you back to see your family!”


    Willow was stunned.


    Is it almost Christmas? Time flies!


    “Are youing or not? If you still want to stay here, we won''t force you.”

    How could Willow possibly not want to leave?


    She had been hoping to leave that ce and nevere back from the moment she got there. How


    could she want to stay here?


    She was Ms. Willow of the Tanner family and had always lived a privileged life since she was young.


    Here, she had to do everything by herself.


    Willow vowed that once she left, she would nevere back. The thought of going through the same


    ordeal again was simply unbearable.


    She practically sprinted onto the ship as if afraid that whoever hade to collect her would change


    their mind.


    Five long hourster, the Tanner family received Willow in a pitiful state. When Yale and Charmaine


    saw her, Yale merely shook his head.


    “Willow, now that you''re back, you need to behave yourself. You can''t mess with someone like Sophie.


    Not only is Sophie in a rtionship with Mr. Tristan, but they''re also nning to get married soon.”


    Despite everything, she was still their daughter, and seeing her in such a state was heart-wrenching.


    Nevertheless, at the end of the day, her fate rested entirely on Mr. Tristan''s whims.


    Nobody stood to benefit from getting on his bad side.


    Charmaine never imagined that her once-pampered daughter would end up in such a sorry state.


    Willow''splexion, once fair and wless, had been marred by the harshness of wind and sun.


    “Mom, I''m back. That ce was so scary. I never want to go back there again.” Willow''s voice was not


    as melodious as it once was anymore.


    “Then don''t go back. Just stay by my side from now on.” Oh, what happened to my Willow? She looks


    like a peasant! She''s not even married yet and is in the prime of her youth, yet she already looks like


    she''s aged way beyond her years. How on earth did ite to this?


    As the group gathered around for BBQ that night, Sophie''s phone suddenly rang, and it was Yale on


    the other end of the line.


    “Soph, were you the one who brought Willow back?” Yale was worried that Sophie didn''t know about


    this, so he decided to call and ask.


    “Yeah, I brought her back.” Sophie didn''t want to go into detail, so she gave a brief answer. Tristan sure


    is quick. I just asked him not too long ago, and he''s already handled it.


    “Okay, good. Don''t worry about her being back. I''ll make sure she doesn''t bother you again,” Yale


    promised.


    The current Sophie was someone that the Tanner family couldn''t afford to cross.


    “Okay, I got it. I''m having dinner with my friends.” Sophie didn''t want to continue the conversation


    anymore.


    She did this solely for Josiah''s sake, and she didn''t really have any interest in the Tanner family now.


    “That''s fine. You go ahead and enjoy your meal. I won''t disturb you any longer,” Yale said meekly.


    Nowadays, he would humble himself in front of Sophie and would not disy any arrogance.


    As long as Sophie continued to bring in money for Tanner Group, Yale''s life would be trouble-free, and


    his life right now was pretty good.


    After disconnecting the call, Sophie tossed her phone aside and joined in on the BBQ.


    She savored each bite of the meat and ate a lot while taking in the joyous atmosphere around her.


    “You really seem to enjoy dining with everyone. You usually don''t eat this much when we eat together,”


    Tristan remarked, somewhat displeased with the situation.


    He just wanted her to gain some weight.


    “What''s wrong? Is what Ysabelle said true? Do all men like plump women? Do you want me to gain


    weight as well?”


    Tristan was speechless.


    What''s she talking about? He wanted nothing but the best for Sophie, and he simply hoped that she


    would stay healthy and by his side.


    “You should stay away from Ysabelle in the future. She tells you all kinds of nonsense!”


    “Just tell me. Do you also like plump women? Ysabelle said that chubby women feel morefortable


    to touch.”


    Sophie hadn''t touched a chubby woman before, so she didn''t really know.


    “I don''t know. Haven''t touched one before. Do you want me to find a plump woman to touch so that I


    can tell you?”
