Anything For Her novel (Sophie and Tristan) novel Chapter 1031

“Willa, 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,” Charmaine commented.

“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-in-law! With such an identity, people will be eager to flatter 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 father company.

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 William company so as to distract him from his solitary thoughts.

Little did he expect his company to be so unwelcomed.

“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 him company, either. He just wanted a grandson. Nothing else mattered.

Back in their room, Sophie was still busy. Seeing him enter, she spared him a glance while her fingers flew over her keyboard.

“Weren’t you downstairs with Dad? Why are you here?” She reckoned that William needed company. 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 my company, and he was the one who asked me to come 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 playful, 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 plate. 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, come join me.”

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

“Okay,” Sophie said.

Indeed, married men are full of eccentric 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 more competent, Butterfly, you wouldn’t have ruined my honeymoon!” Sophie said petulantly.

“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 exclaimed, 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 her laptop and was about to make a phone call when the bathroom door swung open.
