Chapter 1031


    “Wi, the world of the wealthy isn’t as enticing as you thought. You have no idea how much I’ve


    struggled so that I could marry your dad. Look at where it’s gotten me now. So, as a woman, you can


    truly only rely on yourself. Only when you stand firm can you avoid being taken lightly by others,”


    Charmainemented.


    “Mom, I don’t want to hear this.” Willow was losing patience. Sophie is so happy now. How can I give


    up? I’m Tristan Lombard’s sister-inw! With such an identity, people will be eager to tter me, so


    what do I have to fear?


    “All right, I didn’t mean it that way. I just want to remind you not to dig your own grave,” Charmaine


    said.


    As a mother, she had said all she could, yet her influence over her daughter’s decisions was inevitably


    limited.


    Meanwhile, after Sophie returned home, she found William tending to his beloved garden. She greeted


    him briefly before retiring to her room. Some issues had arisen at Wings of Light that required her


    attention.


    At that moment, Tristan was keeping his fatherpany.


    Seeing Tristan seated there with him, William grumbled, “What is wrong with you? Why are you here


    with an old man? I don’t need you here. Go be with your wife.”


    Tristan was rendered speechless. Having finally found some spare time and since Sophie was busy at


    that time, he decided to keep Williampany so as to distract him from his solitary thoughts.


    Little did he expect hispany to be so unweed.


    “All right. I was worried you would be lonely. But if you don’t want me around, I’ll go join my wife, then,”


    Tristan said.


    Who wants to be here with an old man?


    As a matter of fact, William didn’t want Tristan keeping himpany, either. He just wanted a


    grandson. Nothing else mattered.


    Back in their room, Sophie was still busy. Seeing him enter, she spared him a nce while her fingers


    flew over her keyboard.


    “Weren’t you downstairs with Dad? Why are you here?” She reckoned that William neededpany.


    That was the reason she had asked Tristan to stay with him.


    Tristan moved closer and wrapped his arms around her waist.


    “He doesn’t need mypany, and he was the one who asked me toe be with you. Don’t worry.


    He’s quite content with being alone.”


    A hint of a smile spread across Sophie’s face.


    Dad is really a very good person. He may have been cold toward me at first, but now he takes good


    care of me.


    “Looks like I need to work harder.” Tristan said abruptly


    “Why?”


    “Dad wants a grandson. That’s all he’s ever anticipated That’s why he sent me back upstairs.


    Sophie gave him a stern look.


    Ever since they got married, Tristan had been yful, constantly teasing her at every opportunity.


    “You go do your own thing. I still have some work to finish,” Sophie said dismissively.


    Tristan nipped her on the neck. “Honey, are you trying to brush me off?”

    Hot and bothered as she was, Sophie knew that she still had a lot of work on her te. She was


    somewhat frustrated.


    “Why don’t you go take a shower? I’ll be done by the time you finish,” she suggested in an attempt to


    pacify him.


    That should do it.


    Tristan pinched her cheek and said, “That’s more like it. I’m going to take a shower. When you’re done


    with your work,e join me.”


    It’s so boring to shower alone. Showering together is much better.


    “Okay,” Sophie said.


    Indeed, married men are full of entric thoughts.


    After Tristan disappeared into the bathroom, Butterfly’s voice rang out from the earpiece.


    “Phantom, you seem to be having a good time. Did I interrupt something?” Butterfly had remained


    silent the whole time, but she had overheard the whole conversation.


    “Had you been slightly morepetent, Butterfly, you wouldn’t have ruined my honeymoon!” Sophie


    said petntly.


    “All right, I was wrong. I ask for your forgiveness, and I’ll treat you to a meal sometime. That should do


    it, right?” Butterfly said guiltily. After all, she was the one who had created this mess.


    “Fine,” Sophie replied.


    As they spoke, Sophie had already solved Butterfly’s problem. As always, once she set her mind on


    something, there was no problem that she couldn’t solve.


    “As expected of Phantom, solving the issue in less than twenty minutes,” Butterfly eximed, relief


    washing over her. “I’ll leave you two lovebirds be. I’ll treat you to a meal some other day. Your husband


    is still naked in the bathroom waiting for you.”


    With the problem solved, Butterfly didn’t wish to bother Sophie any longer and quickly logged off.


    Sophie shut down herptop and was about to make a phone call when the bathroom door swung


    open.


    “Come on in, Honey!”


    Sophie was at a loss for words. Does he have to show off his naked body like this? Sure, we’re married


    now, but won’t he feel embarrassed?


    “What’s wrong? Didn’t we agree on this? Were you just brushing me off?” Tristan asked.


    “It’s not that. But are you sure about this? This is your home, and your dad and the others are here.”


    “What does that have to do with anything? Don’t worry. Our house is well soundproofed!” Tristan wore


    a look of anticipation.


    Furthermore, they were newlyweds. His family would absolutely not disturb them, so there was no


    reason to worry.Exclusive ? content by N(?)ve/l/Drama.Org.


    “Hurry up,” Tristan urged.


    Sophie had just taken a step forward when he suddenly pulled her into the bathroom and quickly shut


    the door behind them.


    “What are you doing? Wait a minute!” It’s not like he’s never done it before. Why is he so impatient?


    “I can’t wait any longer.”


    Her allure was simply too irresistible.


    After a passionate night, Sophie woke up the next day only to find it was already past ten. She had


    always been in the habit of going for a morning run. However, since getting married, she had been


    breaking her routine more and more. She was surprised that she found the feeling unexpectedly…


    sweet.


    Picking up the note Tristan had left on the bedside table, Sophie grabbed her phone and dialed his


    number.


    He answered the call just after two rings.


    “You’re awake? You must be exhausted fromst night. I asked the housekeeper to prepare breakfast


    for you. Make sure you eat it.”


    As Sophie’s husband, it was his responsibility to care for her.


    “All right. I’ll get out of bed now,” she replied.


    “Honey, what should I do? I miss you.” Tristan had gotten better at sweet nothings ever since they got


    married.


    “I miss you too. All right now, get to work. I’m going down for breakfast,” Sophie said. It was already


    over ten o’clock. Knowing William was also home, she felt embarrassed to head downstairs.


    “Okay. Don’t forget to eat more, all right?” Tristan was reluctant to hang up the call. In fact, he didn’t


    even feel like working at all with a lovely wife at home.


    “All right. Now go and focus on your work!” The couple chatted for a while longer until the secretary


    called Tristan, forcing him to end the call.


    After hanging up. Sophie shed a contented smile on her face. She was truly living a happy life.


    She changed her clothes and headed downstairs. When the butler saw hering down, he


    immediately served the breakfast on the table.


    “Mrs. Lombard, your breakfast is ready”


    “Thank you.”


    “There’s no need to be so polite, Mrs. Lombard. It’s our duty to serve you. If there’s anything you find


    unsatisfactory, feel free to let me know, and I will work on it.”


    “Everything is great,” Sophie replied. She wasn’t ustomed to being served by others. She sat quietly


    and ate her breakfast.


    Seeing the way Sophie behaved, the butler couldn’t help but feel a sense of pride. He used to ponder


    what kind of woman would be worthy of Tristan. Now that he saw her, he felt that only someone like her


    deserved to be with Tristan.


    They were trulypatible in every aspect.


    I hope Mrs. Lombard can bear children for the Lombard family as soon as possible. That way, their


    union would be trulyplete!


    After breakfast, Sophie didn’t have much else to do, so she went directly to the Chanaea Medical


    Association. It had been a while since shest visited.


    Upon learning of her arrival, Arius and Georgina immediately brought her to theboratory. They


    encountered some problems in their recent experiments and Sophie’s presence had given them hope.


    How could they not make good use of her expertise?


    “Sophie, you have no idea how much we missed you during your absence.”


    Sophie excelled in every field, especially in medicine, where she was considered a natural authority.


    She could solve any problems.


    “Missed me? Aren’t you afraid Georgina will get jealous?” Sophie teased.


    Upon hearing her name, Georgina blushed and said, “No! How could I possibly be jealous of you? I


    know how close both of you are.”


    “I was just teasing you. By the way, you two have been together for a while now. When will we get to


    attend your wedding?”


    Arius did express his hope to get married during my wedding photoshoot.


    Georgina’s face grew even redder. In truth, she felt that their current situation was already perfect.


    She was genuinely happy being with Arius, and even if they didn’t get married, it didn’t matter.
