Chapter 880


    Chapter 880 Change Of Clothes


    Tristan knew he couldn''t control who Ophelia liked, but he would never allow it to affect his life.


    He opened his umbre and walked into the rain. I need to pick Sophie up since it''s raining. I don''t


    remember her taking an umbre before leaving the house.


    Ophelia dropped to her haunches and began bawling.


    She always thought one day he would notice her if she worked hard enough.


    Yet, she was nothing more than a clown all along.


    He had never taken her seriously.


    It was rush hour. Lombard Group employees were clocking out and leaving the building.


    The first sight they saw after a day of hard work was a beautiful woman weeping sadly at their


    workce''s front door.


    s, their hearts had hardened after working in the city. Everyone was stressed from living in a big city


    like Jipsdale.


    Crying was amon sight.


    Sophie, Barney, Simon, and Sandra noticed the heavy rain the minute they left the medical association.


    None of them brought an umbre.


    “Don''t tell me we have to stay here today.” Sandra sighed. She hadpletely forgotten to bring an


    umbre because she left immediately after ss.


    Plus, the weather report didn''t mention it would rain that day.


    “I''ll head back in to borrow one.” Simon went back into the building. There are so many people in the


    medical association that I''m sure one of them has an umbre. I guess the security guard will also have


    one.


    In the meantime, Tristan''s conspicuous Porsche Cayenne had pulled up in front of the University of


    Medicine''s front door.


    Sophie watched her handsome boyfriend get out of the car and open an umbre before walking


    toward her.


    “I hope I''m notte.”


    Has she waited for long?

    “Nope. I just came out. Dr. Smith, Sandra,e with us, and we''ll give you a lift.”


    Sandra shook her head.


    “It''s fine. I''ll head back with Simon. Didn''t he go searching for an umbre? You don''t have to mind me.


    Just give Dr. Smith a ride.”


    “All right, then. Make sure to leave with Simon.” Simon had gone back in to borrow an umbre, so he


    should be back in a while.


    “Sorry for the trouble.” Barney didn''t turn down Sophie''s offer.


    Tristan first helped Barney into the car, then returned to pick up Sophie.


    “We''ll be going then. You and Simon be careful on your way back.” Sophie left with Tristan after that.


    Tristan was driving while Sophie was in the passenger seat.


    Tristan was driving while Sophie was in the passenger seat.


    Barney was quiet in the back seat.


    “Dr. Smith, why don''t you have dinner with us before going home?” Tristan and Sophie would have


    dinner right after they got home.


    Barney immediately waved his hands.


    “No thanks. I need to apany my wife.” He finally got the chance to apany his wife after


    getting some free time.


    “All right, then. Bring her next time for a meal. It has been a while since Ist saw her.”


    I''m sure she''s bored since she''s all alone here.


    “Don''t worry about her. She''s getting used to things just fine. Every day after dinner, she would go


    square dancing with the local olddies. Her Chanaean is now more fluent than mine.”


    Beforeing to Chanaea, Jessica was worried about her proficiency in Chanaean. However, joining


    the olddies helped her adapt well.


    “Really?” Sophie couldn''t imagine the elegant foreigner dancing with the olddies.


    “It''s true. She came here because of me, and I really appreciate everything she has done for me.”


    Barney was moved by the thought.


    Jessica has given up a lot for me.


    “She loves you deeply.” One would only give in to love.


    When Barney arrived home, Jessica instantly raced out of the house with an umbre when she heard


    the engine outside. She rushed to his side as he got out of the car in the pouring rain.


    A gentle smile graced Barney''s lips at the sight of his wife.


    “Why didn''t you pick up my calls? I even thought about driving there to pick you up.” Jessica gave him


    a light p on his arm.


    “There''s no need for the trouble. It''s raining cats and dogs out here. I don''t want you driving in such


    dangerous conditions.” Actually, Barney just felt bad for her. Jessica had no sense of direction. He


    might need to search for her instead if she drove.


    “Thanks for the ride. Let''s have a meal together next time,” Barney said to Sophie and Tristan.


    “Let''s have dinner together next time, Mrs. Smith.” Jessica had always treated Sophie well, so Sophie


    liked her a lot.


    “Okay. Let me know beforehand so I can do a facial spa.”


    Jessica was a very particr woman. Despite her age, she would still put a lot of effort into skincare.


    “You don''t need a facial spa. Your skin is so supple,” Barney ttered.


    Jessica cast a side nce at him.


    “All right. Stop your ttery. Don''t think I''ll forgive you for breaking my favorite vase just because you


    tter me.”


    Barney reached for the umbre handle and wrapped an arm around Jessica''s waist as they headed


    into the house.


    Despite theirck of children, they still lived a blissful life because they had each other at the very least.


    Sophie watched the two with admiration.


    “I hope we can be the same as them when we''re old and gray.” Their rtionship sure is admirable.


    Tristan reached for Sophie''s hand.


    “We definitely will. We can also be as happy.” We''ll live the rest of our lives hand in hand.


    On the ride back, Sophie brought up Ophelia.


    “You don''t have to consider me when you make a decision about Ophelia.”


    “Ophelia? She went to see you?” What''s wrong with that woman? Why did she look for Sophie?


    “She didn''t say much. I''d always known she liked you.”


    “Aren''t you jealous?”


    “Why would I be? You don''t even like her.” As long as she was certain of that, the rest didn''t matter.


    Fine. My woman has always been rational.


    Tristan pulled away from the Smiths'' and drove to the Lombard residence. They were having dinner


    with William that day.


    In the meantime, William had been waiting for Tristan and Sophie. Ysabelle and Sarah had already


    arrived, but the couple was still nowhere to be seen.


    “Dad, should we eat first? Aren''t you hungry?” I don''t think he can wait with an empty stomach for long


    at his age. It''s already eight o''clock.


    “It''s fine. Since we already waited for them for this long, we might as well dine with them.” Despite his


    displeasure, William supposed Tristan and Sophie would arrive soon.


    The sound of an engine soon came from outside.


    “Old Mr. Lombard, Mr. Tristan and Ms. Tanner are back,” the butler reported.


    “Set the table. We''ll be having dinner soon,” William immediately ordered.


    Tristan and Sophie walked into the house. Their clothes were slightly wet.


    “Sorry for making you wait. We ran into a bit of trouble on the way back,” Sophie apologized


    sheepishly.


    “We''re a family, so there''s no need for apologies. Ysabelle, take Sophie to change out of her wet


    clothes,” William said.
