Chapter 411


    He thought they must be very disappointed in him for acting like this.


    “Sunny, don''t say that. I know how you feel about The Wheelers. We are yet to get a confirmation for


    this. Can you wait until I find out why Mark wants to leave before we try to solve this issue?”


    Hearing that, Sunny nodded.


    “Sophie, why did you want to leave the band back then?” This question had always bothered him.


    They used to have a great time together.


    Although they were poor and could not even afford to have meat for their BBQ, they were at least


    happy at that time.


    Still, she chose to leave the band.


    Hearing that question, Sophie did not know what to say.


    “Sunny, everyone has the right to make their own decision. I left long ago, so let''s not dwell on that


    anymore. Also, although I left the band, I am still rooting for you guys. I will always be a part of The


    Wheelers. It''s just that I didn''t enjoy being in the spotlight.”


    She never wanted such a morous lifestyle.


    “All right. I understand it now.”


    “So, can you give me more time? I want to talk to Mark and understand why he''s leaving the band.


    Before I get an answer from him, you must take care of yourself and not make others worry about you!”


    Despite everything, he was already neen years old, which meant he was an adult now, so he


    needed to stop being so impulsive and wilful.


    “Also, don''t alert the fans about this yet.”


    “Okay, got it.” Sunny felt embarrassed. Although Sophie was younger than him, she was always


    helping him deal with such matters.


    He continued, “Don''t worry about me. I''ll take care of myself. Your only task is to talk to Mark and find


    out why he wants to leave.”


    “I know. Go to sleep, then. Cancel everything on your schedule tomorrow. You guys should stay here


    and get some rest.”


    “Wait, I think Jonathan is still unaware of this matter!” Sunny reminded.


    “Okay, I know what to do.”


    Sophie left only after seeing Sunny lying down in bed.


    As soon as she left the room, the other three members immediately stood up. They had not left and


    had been waiting outside all this while.


    “Sophie, how do you n to deal with Mark''s situation?”


    “That''s right! Will we still be The Wheelers without Mark? Do we have no choice but to disband if he


    quits?”


    If they had to find someone to rece Mark, The Wheelers would never be the same again. Thus, all


    members would not ept finding a recement.


    Hence, if Mark had decided to leave the band, The Wheelers could only disband. After all, a band could


    not survive without its main vocalist.


    “All right. You guys should get some rest first. I will try to understand the full story, but before I get to the


    bottom of this, none of you can tell another soul about this.”


    The three members nodded in response.


    They knew Sophie was worth their trust, and they believed in her.


    “Help me look out for Sunny. His emotions are rather unstable. We can''t let anything happen to him


    during this time.”


    “Don''t worry. We''ll take care of Sunny. You should find some time to talk things out with Mark. He


    should at least give us a reason if he insists on leaving. We don''t need him to do anything else—all we


    need is an exnation from him.”


    Sophie nodded. “Mhm. I know what to do.”


    “Thanks, Sophie.”


    She smiled at them and said, “No matter what happens, I will always be part of The Wheelers. I hope


    you know I understand your feelings, and I feel the same as you guys.”


    When she walked out of The Wheelers'' mansion, Tristan was already waiting for her. Sophie walked


    over to him while wearing a ck mask.


    It was normal for media reporters and fans to lurk around a celebrity''s mansion, so Sophie had already


    put on her mask before she even stepped out.


    Once the reporters spotted her, they immediately approached her to ask questions. Seeing that, Sophie


    hurriedly got inside Tristan''s car to avoid them.


    It was not until Tristan drove quite some distance away that Sophie finally removed her mask and


    exhaled deeply.


    Taking in her expression, Tristan guessed that Mark truly did intend to leave the band.


    He took her hand. “Come on now. It''s impossible to expect people to stay together for a lifetime. Not


    even parents can do that with their children, let alone friends!”


    Sophie said nothing in response.


    She knew he was right, but even if she understood the logic behind it, the truth was still hard for her to


    ept.


    Mark was the soul of The Wheelers. If he insisted on leaving the band, The Wheelers would no longer


    exist. None of the members would settle with finding another main vocalist to fill in Mark''s space.


    After sending Sophie back to Wisteria Apartments, Tristan did not leave her alone. He wanted to stay


    by her side when she was going through a hard time like this.


    Even if there was nothing he could do, he still wanted to stay by her side.


    Upon returning to Wisteria Apartments, Sophie did not immediately keep herself busy either.


    No matter what, she could only wait until the next day to deal with this issue. Thus, she nned to


    spend the remaining time rxing and getting some rest.


    Tristan poured her a cup of warm milk.


    “It''ste. Drink this and go to sleep. No matter what it is, we will find a way to solve it.”


    “Okay.”


    She knew he was worried about her, so she continued, “To be honest, I can ept this result, but I


    can''t ept the reason.”


    Deep down, she believed there must be another reason for Mark to make such a decision.


    “Mhm.”


    After lying on the couch for quite some time, Tristan picked Sophie up in his arms and headed to the


    bedroom, cing her on the bed.


    “Now, go get some sleep.”


    He could not bear to see her not getting enough sleep and not eating her meals regrly. That would


    only affect her health.


    “Okay. I''ll go to sleep now.”


    Her sleeping quality had always been poor, and she did not feel like sleeping then. It was never her


    character to force herself to do something she did not want to do.


    However, when she noticed his solemn expression, she nodded and closed her eyes to sleep.


    Just like that, Tristan stayed by her side and watched her sleep. After he heard her breathing even out,


    he walked out of the bedroom.


    Then, he dialed Mark''s number and said, “Let''s get a drink together.”

    He realized he had not gotten the chance to sit down and have a drink with Mark ever since they knew


    each other.


    “Sure.”


    The two decided and agreed over the phone to meet somewhere. Tristan then got changed and locked


    the doors before heading there.


    Mark was already waiting for him when Tristan arrived at a private room in Nocturnal.


    No one would have expected a superstar like Mark would show up at a bar like Nocturnal.


    Tristan did not put on airs and sat directly across from Mark. Picking up a ss of whiskey that was


    already avable on the table, he took a sip.


    “Sophie is worried about you. She cares a lot for you and the other band members, and I''m sure you


    know that, right?” Although he did not like the idea of Sophie caring so much for another man, Tristan


    had to acknowledge the facts.


    “I know.”


    Although Sophie looked distant and reserved, Mark knew she would treat someone wholeheartedly if


    she could tell the person was kind to her.


    Otherwise, she would not have established TS Entertainment in the first ce.


    He knew how much money and effort one must spend to establish and invest in a newpany.


    “If you know that, then why are you leaving the band?”
