Chapter 212 Lustful
Soon, the guests started arriving. With the arrival of the other prominent families, Lincoln had also arrived alongside Sarah and Ysabelle.
Lincoln then went to the others to talk about some business.
Hence, Ysabelle was left chatting with Sarah.
“Weren’t you close with Winter before this? Why don’t I see you guys together anymore?” Sarah asked. I’m her aunt, so I should show my niece some concern. After all, Ysabelle is the only child of her generation in the family. She must feel lonely sometimes.
“It’s nothing! It’s just that she doesn’t like a close friend of mine, so we ended up not spending time with each other anymore.” If Ysabelle were to choose between Sophie and Winter, she would definitely choose Sophie.
“Oh, I see! Tristan is quite close to Charles, right? Since everyone is going to see each other quite often, try not to be too willful, okay?” Sarah was a lot older than Ysabelle, so she knew better.
“Aunt Sarah, you’ve changed! You’re no longer like how you used to be!” Ysabelle suddenly uttered.
Sarah was stunned momentarily because she didn’t expect to hear those words from Ysabelle. “What do you mean? Have I changed for the better?” Sarah turned toward Ysabelle.
“I don’t know how to explain it! However, I think you’ve changed for the worse. You weren’t like this before this. If we were to talk about the same thing then, you would tell me to just distance myself from someone if I don’t like them.” In Ysabelle’s mind, she thought the Lombard family would never need to bow to anyone.
When Winter saw that Ysabelle and Sarah had arrived, she quickly ran toward them and sat next to Sarah.
“Hi, Sarah!” Winter greeted her sweetly because she knew how much Sarah liked Juan. However, Juan had never given her much of a chance.
“Hello,” Sarah answered.
“Juan has something to attend to, so he’ll only be back later,” Winter said.
Sarah remained unfazed when she heard that.
“Sarah, I know how much you like Juan! Don’t worry! I’ll help you get closer to him,” Winter said.
Ysabelle was rendered speechless. She’s only doing this because she knows Aunt Sarah is close to Uncle Tristan.
“Aunt Sarah, my friends are there. I’ll go and look for them.” Ysabelle was sick of Winter and her nonsense.
Sarah was alright with it because she knew Ysabelle wasn’t Winter’s biggest fan.
“Be careful, okay? Don’t anger your dad,” Sarah reminded.
Sarah knew it wouldn’t end well if anyone pissed Lincoln off.
Ysabelle cowered at Lincoln’s name.
With a nod, she left.
Actually, she just wanted to sit alone in the corner. She had never been a fan of such events. In fact, she didn’t even want to attend it in the first place.
However, Lincoln forced her to go.
When Felix and Sean arrived, they saw Ysabelle sitting alone in the corner. Felix then said a few words to Sean before walking toward Ysabelle.
