Sophie Is In Jipsdale Sophie’s room was not very big. Her room had only a king-size bed, aputer
desk, and a wardrobe. She did not even have a dressing table. As Sophie had rarely returned home,
her room was clean and tidy. She sat on the swivel chair and gazed at him. Tristan saw an album and
reached out to grab it. “Can I take a look at this?” “Sure.” He sat on the bed, opened the album, and
browsed through pictures of Sophie from her childhood until now. He flipped through every page and
took in the pictures depicting her growth from a baby to the beautiful teenage girl she was at that
moment. Staring at those images, Tristan felt as if he had apanied her as she grew up. “Come
here,” he said to her while he remained seated on the bed. “What’s the matter?” “Come here.”
Before she realized it, his seductive voice prompted her to get to her feet and walk up to him. Tristan
pulled her into his embrace so that they could look at the pictures together. “I can’t believe this used to
be your style.” He pointed at a photo of Sophie in pigtails. She nced at him. “Why? Is there a
problem with that?” “No. You look very adorable.” Tristan’s mind wandered. If we have a daughter in
the future, I suppose she will be as cute as Sophie. After all, Sophie has excellent genes. I have no
doubt her child will be very good-looking. Sophie turned her head around and noticed the contented
smile on his face. “What? What are you thinking about?” “I’m just imagining if we have a daughter
together in the future, she must be as cute as you,” Tristan replied frankly. He wanted to let her know
that he was serious about her and that he had included her in his future nning. Sophie was stumped.
Giving birth to a child? To be honest, that thought had never crossed her mind up until that point. She
was uncertain if someone like her would be a good mother because she did not know how to handle
children. “Mr. Tristan, I don’t want to have kids.” If he’s looking for a partner with whom he can get
married and have children, I don’t think I am a suitable candidate. I don’t want to waste his time if that’s
the case. “You don’t like children?” Tristan was not very fond of children, but he thought he would
cherish the child dearly if they were Sophie’s. “I don’t know how to put it either. I think I’m not suitable to
be a mother.” “That’s enough. We’ll discuss this topic another day. You’re still young, so it is
normal for you not to like kids now.” “What if I still do not like them in the future?”
“Then we won’t have children. I don’t need to have kids. Having you by my side is already sufficient.”
Tristan was not merely coaxing her. If Sophie did not want to have kids, he would respect her decision
instead of forcing her to bear his child. When they exited Sophie’s room, they stumbled into Willow.
Willow could not help but sneer at the sight of Tristaning out from Sophie’s room. Weren’t you
acting high and mighty all the time? Well, you’re certainly living up to your reputation now, Sophie. I
can’t believe you just brought a man into your room. Sophie disregarded Willow and led Tristan away.
When they arrived at the living room, he stopped in his tracks. “You will be attending Transfix
Cosmetics’ anniversary event tomorrow, right?” “Yes.” How did he know about that? I don’t recall telling
anyone else about this matter. “Wilma sent me an invitation.” Sophie was rendered speechless. Why is
he going to Transfix Cosmetics’ anniversary event? Why did Wilma send him an invitation? “Therefore,
I’lle pick you up tomorrow.” Fortunately, he was able to attend the asion tomorrow because
Lombard Group’s anniversary event was on a different date.
And the reason would be that Tristan had deliberately arranged for bothpanies to host their
anniversary events on separate dates. “All right then.” Since Wilma had sent him an invitation, Sophie
had no reason to forbid him from attending. “Be careful on your way back.” She wanted to follow him
out, but he did not allow her to do so because of the cold weather outside. “All right. Rest early.” After
Tristan left the Tanner residence, Sophie turned around and immediately caught sight of Willow,
standing behind her like a ghost, wearing a white dress. “Stand aside.” Sophiecked the patience to
spend another second talking to Willow. “Sophie, don’t you always think you’re better than everyone
else? What’s the matter? How shameless are you to let a man enter your room now? Do you really
think Mr. Tristan loves you? He’s just toying with you. Have you even met with his family members?
There’s no way the Lombard family will ept someone like you.” Sophie frowned. “That’s none of
your business.” Since when does Willow care about my matters? “You can also do the same if you
have the capabilities. However, the reason you’re so agitated is that you’re jealous.
Do you realize that?” Willow was rendered speechless. Willow took a step back. Sophie had always
chosen to ignore her, but thetter’s words were unexpectedly harsh and unforgiving when she
decided to speak up. “Do you have any other questions for me?” Sophie stared into Willow’s eyes.
Willow was stumped. Momentster, she said, “What about Mason? Do you not love him anymore?”
Sophie fell silent. How long has it been since Ist heard this name? “I’ve never loved him. With that
said, will you return to Mason’s side in assurance now?” Willow still felt aggrieved at the mention of
Mason. However, she thought he was no longer a match for her. “What’s the matter? Are you
disdaining him because he wentme?” Aren’t you always putting up an obedient and sensible act?
Why don’t you continue to y that role now? “I certainly wish Mason would fall for me, but I’ve worked
so hard, yearning and waiting to be with him for such a long time, and to no avail. What else can I do if
he doesn’t want to reciprocate my feelings? Who are you all to criticize me now?” I’ve shown my
efforts, haven’t I? Are my teenage years not as worthy as others’ teenage years? “No one is criticizing
you, and I could not care less about you.” With that, Sophie headed upstairs right away. Willow
crouched on the floor and burst into tears. Why? Why am I the only one without anything to show, even
until now? I did not do anything wrong, right? Sophie returned to her room, and just as shey on her
bed, the ring on her ring finger emitted a strange light.
Looking at the ring, she was reminded of Nichs again. Why isn’t he giving up? Have I not made
myself clear? Still, Sophie was no longer the innocent and ignorant young girl she was. One day, even
if Nichs managed to locate her, she already had the confidence to handle him. She had no doubt
about her abilities. Sophie promised herself never to let anyone control how she lived her life, not even
Nichs. Meanwhile, at Anndur, Nichs was listening to his subordinate’s report in a rxed
manner. “Boss, Sophie is in Jipsdale, but you are also aware that Jipsdale is Tristan’s territory. If we go
there without a n, I’m afraid—” “Afraid?” Nichsy on the chair and shed a wicked grin. “How
dare you mention this word to me as my assistant?” I see. So, she’s in Jipsdale! I was wondering how
someone could disappear without a trace on this earth. This is why!
