Chapter 142


    Chapter 142 You Are Now Mine


    After watching Cecelia leave, Sophie turned to look at Tristan, who seemed d. Is it because Cecelia


    was taken away?


    Tristan immediately held Sophie’s hand and pulled her toward him.


    “What are you doing?” questioned Sophie, still looking at the man who had just locked her in his arms.


    Tristan had grown to enjoy holding Sophie like that.


    On the other hand, the young woman turned bright red because of how close they were.


    “Let go of me, Mr. Tristan.” Even some as cold as Sophie could not help but blush when Tristan flirted


    with her like that.


    He then tightened his arms around Sophie. “Since they’re all busy, you are all mine now.”


    Sophie immediately chuckled upon hearing that, for she never expected Tristan to say anything like


    that.


    “Let’s go. I still owe you a meal, don’t I?” Since there was not much else to do, Sophie decided to treat


    him to a meal.


    “That’s more like it,” Tristan was easily satisfied.


    Even though Sophie had promised to buy the young man a meal, she had no idea where to go.


    “Is there anything you’d like?” inquired Sophie, tilting her head.


    Tristan was stunned for a moment as he stared at the young woman’s soft pink lips. “Yes.”


    “What is it?” Sophie was d she did not have to waste time figuring out where to go since Tristan


    already had something in mind.


    “You!”


    Sophie was dumbfounded once again when she heard Tristan’s answer. What’s wrong with this guy? Is


    he going to keep this up all day?


    Seeing the woman like that, Tristan immediately held her head to give her a wet kiss.


    Only after breathing a sigh of satisfaction did Tristan take Sophie to a fancy restaurant.


    The young woman could still taste Tristan on her lips when they reached the expensive-looking and


    exquisitely decorated restaurant.


    Most of the customers there were couples, so it was not surprising to see many of them kissing.


    Since the atmosphere at the restaurant was incredibly romantic, the couples were more passionate


    than usual.


    However, the scene was nothing but an eyesore to Sophie since she did not think the public disy of


    affection was appropriate.


    When she unconsciously nced at Tristan, the young man simply shrugged.


    “Just so you know, I didn’t n for you to see this. It was Felix who rmended the ce.”


    Sophie pretended to be calm, but a gentleman beside her had already reached into his date’s skirt.


    She had no choice but to calmly look away.


    “Are you sure you don’t want to go somewhere else?” Sophie had lost her appetite already. This is just


    too much!


    “It’s fine. I got us a room.” Tristan led Sophie to a private room, which the woman thought was much


    better than the rest of the ce.


    Since it was warm inside, Tristan helped Sophie take her jacket off so he could hang it up. He then


    pulled the chair out before beckoning Sophie over to sit.


    By then, a waitress had already arrived to show them the menu.


    “What can I get you, Mr. Tristan?” inquired the beautiful waitress after handing a tablet to Tristan.


    “What would you like?” The young man remained standing behind Sophie so they could share the


    tablet.


    Sophie was a little uneasy when Tristan leaned on her.


    “So?” The man had a deep and maic voice that sounded alluring, which made Sophie’s heart race.


    At that point, she was convinced that Tristan enjoyed teasing her very much.


    After going through the menu, Sophie ordered steak and sd.


    When she turned around to ask what Tristan wanted, the man’s lips brushed over her cheek.

    Sophie immediately froze like a statue.


    “I’ll have whatever you’re having,” Tristan whispered into Sophie’s ear before taking the tablet from her.


    The young woman almost jumped to her feet when Tristan breathed into her ear because that was the


    most sensitive part of her body.


    After that, Tristan sat down beside Sophie so that it would be easier for him to take care of her.


    “So why isn’t Ysabelleing?” Sophie was a little worried about Ysabelle because they had already


    agreed to meet, and her friend would never stand her up for no reason.


    In response, Tristan unlocked his phone to y a video before handing the device to Sophie.


    After watching the video, the young woman looked a little displeased.


    The video was shot from Ysabelle’s front. Even though Sophie was also in it, she could only be seen


    from the side. On top of that, the dim lighting at the karaoke bar made it difficult for anyone unfamiliar


    with her to recognize her.


    “Your family don’t want her to be a singer, right?” Sophie heard about it from Ysabelle, but she did not


    think the situation was that serious.


    “Yes. My brother has a deep-seated prejudice against the entertainment industry.”


    What will Ysabelle do now? Sophie then quickly took her phone out to call her friend.


    Meanwhile, Ysabelle was in a bad mood. When she received Sophie’s call, she hurried into her room


    before answering.


    “I’m sorry, Soph! Something came up. It was never my intention to bail on you.” Ysabelle hated being


    stood up and believed that her friend felt the same way.


    “It’s fine. Are you okay?”


    Hearing how concerned Sophie was about her, Ysabelle immediately lightened up. “I am. Don’t worry,”


    assured Ysabelle with a smile.


    “Good. Do you need me to pick you up?” Sophie could figure something out if her friend still wanted to


    meet her.


    “No, Soph. I think I should stay home for the next two days. Even though I have no n to be an


    artist just yet, I’m more determined to do so after seeing that video. I will be a singer no matter


    what my father thinks!” Ysabelle had made up her mind, so nobody could convince her otherwise.


    “You have my support.” Sophie agreed that Ysabelle should not give up. It’s her dream to be a singer,


    and she has every right to pursue it!


    “Talk to youter. My grandfather’sing.” Ysabelle knew her grandfather would be worried about her


    since she did not have dinner.


    Even after calling Ysabelle, Sophie was still worried about her friend.


    “Mr. Tristan, will you help Ysabelle?” The young woman was confident that the other Lombards would


    listen to Tristan because of his position in the family.


    The steak had already been served, and Tristan had thoughtfully cut it up for Sophie.


    “Soph, this is Ysabelle’s fight. If she wants to be in the entertainment industry, the first thing she has to


    learn is how to stand up for herself. Unlike those in the industry, our family would never do anything to


    hurt her. I don’t think she’s fit to be an artist if she can’t even handle our family.”


    Naturally, Sophie knew he had a point, but as Ysabelle’s friend, she still wished that she could make


    her friend’s path to pursue her dream easier.


    “That’s enough chat about someone else. We don’t always get to spend time together like this, you


    know?” Tristan hoped that Sophie would focus on him for the moment.


    “Ysabelle isn’t ‘someone else.’ She’s your niece!”


    “So am I the reason you’re so nice to Ysabelle?” Tristan would consider talking to his brother if Sophie


    nodded.


    However, Sophie was never really good at sucking up to others. Instead of responding to Tristan the


    way he wanted, the woman started eating her steak.


    To that, Tristan let out a long sigh. I can tell that chasing after Sophie is not going to be easy. Hmm…


    far from it!
