Pursuing Her Chapter 169
Chapter 169 Irresistible
“In that case, I’ll go back and shower. Call me if there are any problems.” She, too, wanted to shower at
home. Regardless of how luxurious the VIP ward was, she didn’t like bathing there.
“All right, go on ahead,” Morgan replied respectfully.
After Tristan returned to Wisteria Apartments with Sophie, he, too, took a bath when Sophie went to
take a shower.
Despite spending thest few days in the hospital, he only managed a single quick bath. After all, the
conditions at the hospital were considered terrible for someone like him.
When he was done showering, he heated up a ss of milk for Sophie and estimated the time she
needed before knocking on her door.
Upon hearing the knock, Sophie opened the door, wrapped only in a towel with her hair still dripping
wet.
The wet look and perky bosoms that greeted him felt like a siren song calling out to him.
Tristan, unable to help himself, gulped before feeling embarrassed by his own reaction.
“Have a ss of milk before you sleep. We’ll be going to the hospital again tomorrow.”
When Sophie received the ss from him, she brushed against his warm fingers, causing her to flinch
in reflex.
Under such circumstances, it was all too easy for both of them to feel awkward.
“After a grueling few days, you can finally get some proper rest.” Sophie’s gentle voice continued to
w at his heart.
Tristan nodded. “Mmm-hmm. I’ll be next door. Call me if you need anything.”
With that, he came out of her room reluctantly.
Sophie’s gaze trailed his silhouette until he returned to his room before drinking the warm milk he had
prepared.
After lying in bed, Sophie slept especially well, probably due to the effects of the milk.
By the time she awoke, it was already three in the morning.
Hunger was what had woken her up. With her stomach growling, she couldn’t help but feel annoyed.
In the end, she decided to get out of bed. The moment she opened the door, Tristan heard her
movements, causing him toe out too.

“What is it? Where are you going in the middle of the night?” he asked anxiously, worried that
something might have happened to Josiah.
Sophie’s heart was warmed by the concerned look on his face.
“It’s nothing. I’m just feeling hungry, as I had barely eaten during the day.”
However, she wasn’t sure if there were still any food delivery services avable at night.
“I n to order some food. Do you want anything?”
I don’t remember him having eaten much too. Given that he’s one point eight meters tall, shouldn’t he
be hungrier than I am?
“Oh, in that case, let’s have supper together.”
After going downstairs and taking their seats in the living room, Sophie opened a food delivery app.
Despite browsing through it for a long time, she couldn’te to a decision.
“Come on. Let’s eat out instead.”
Sophie looked in his direction.
“Who goes out for supper at this ungodly hour?” Isn’t it toote for that?
“You and me!” Why not? As long as we fancy it, who’s to say that we can’t?
Sophie nodded.
“You’re right.”
“Wait for me. I’ll go get changed.” Regardless of how brazen she was, there was no way she was going
out in her pajamas.
As Tristan waited in the living room for her, a smile broke out on his face.
Who knew that this is all it takes to be happy? Even though he was just waiting for her to go out for
supper, a sense of bliss had descended upon him.
As long as they were together, he would be easily contented regardless of what they did.
Meanwhile, Sophie had put on a red hoodie topped by a ck down jacket.
Due to how cold Jipsdale was, she didn’t tie her hair.
Given how juvenile she looked, Tristan felt guilty being together with her.
He couldn’t help but question himself on whether he was too old for her.
“What’s wrong?” From the moment we entered the elevator, he hadn’t peeled his eyes away from me.
“Nothing, you just look very good in your outfit.”
Sophie was rendered speechless.
How should I respond to that?
“I think I look good all the time.”
Not expecting such an answer, Tristan was stunned.
“I’m just kidding.” Sophie couldn’t resistughing.
It’s been a long time since I’ve felt so at ease, and this feels wonderful!
Tristan brought Sophie to a high-end barbecue restaurant.
Unlike those by the street, it had a wonderful ambiance and looked like a ce Tristan would frequent.
Nheless, they didn’t expect to run into Felix and the others.
At the sight of Tristan, Ysabelle ran up to them.
“Soph, how is Old Mr. Tanner? I want to visit him too.” Over thest few days, her dad had grounded
her at home. If it weren’t for Felix, she wouldn’t even have the opportunity toe out.
“He’s fine. What about you? Are you still grounded by your dad?”
Ysabelle sighed at the topic.
How did I end up having him as my father? Being grounded sucks!
“Let’s not go there, as I get a headache just thinking of it. My dad is just too bullheaded. No one can
change his mind.”
“Mr. Tristan, you should stay by Sophie’s side for the next few days. I’ll hold the fort for you at the office.
In return, this meal is on you,” Felix grumbled the moment he saw Tristan.
“Fine, I’m buying. I’ll make sure you go home drunk, or my name isn’t Tristan.”
Felix was stumped. I was just making a casual remark. Getting drunk is such a horrible feeling to have.
“Mr. Tristan, I’m sorry. You win. Please let me off the hook!”
When Charles and Sean saw Felix’s cowardly reaction, they burst intoughter.
“Mr. Tristan, Sean and I will be taking our leave as we’re done. As for Felix, go ahead and torture him,”
Charles suggested with a grin.
Felix was upset.
“F*ck, after I invited you out for supper, is that how you repay me? Charles, you had better not cross
the line.” Felix rolled up his sleeves as if he was going to get into a fight with them.
Ignoring him, Sean gave Charles a tug before leaving, with Felix brandishing his fists in the air behind
them.
“All of you should stop bullying Felix. Don’t you think he’s really pitiful?”
Upon hearing the remark, Felix snuck a nce at Ysabelle, for that was the first time she had ever
stood up for him.
Even Tristan shot her a look.
“Felix, you should send her home already. Given how strict her dad hastely been, she might be
grounded for life if she doesn’t get home soon.” Tristan knew his brother’s character like the back of his
hand.
Upon hearing hisment, Ysabelle, who had wanted to linger a little longer, felt her enthusiasm fizzle
out and resigned herself to reality.
“Soph, once Old Mr. Tanner recovers, I’ll visit him again. As of now, I won’t bother him yet.”
Sophie nodded in acknowledgment.
“Mm-hmm. Go on now.” Poor girl.
After being reluctantly led away by Felix, Ysabelle would turn around with a pitiful look on her face
every few steps she took.
