Chapter 265 Depressed Felix
Ysabelle is always so excited about Sophie. If only she’d treat me with that same level of passion…
“I really miss Sophie a lot, Uncle Tristan! I haven’t seen her in a long time! I’ll be going with Sophie, so you can head back on your own, Felix!” Ysabelle then climbed into the back seat before Felix could react.
“Let’s go!” Sophie told Tristan when she saw Ysabelle get in. Just like that, the three of them sped off while Felix stood there in the freezing cold with disbelief written all over his face.Am I really just a driver to them? As Charles and Sean were too busy to join them for dinner, it was just the four of them at the dinner table that night. To make matters worse, the three of them were so absorbed in their conversation that Felix had been completely ignored.
Naturally, that made Felix even more depressed than he already was. I’m starting to question if I should even be here. Why do I feel like I’m an outsider in this group?
“Help me pass this to Sarah. The one I gave her last time should be finished by now,” Sophie said while retrieving a tiny bottle from her backpack.
“Aunt Sarah told me this is really helpful. She’s feeling a lot better lately and no longer suffers from insomnia! Where did you get this from?” Ysabelle asked as she took the transparent bottle from her.
The Lombards could not treat Sarah’s condition despite them being the most powerful family in Jipsdale, and yet, Sophie had got it taken care of so effortlessly.
“A friend of mine gave it to me.Since it works really well, I asked for two more bottles when I heard about Sarah’s condition.” Sophie, too, had really severe insomnia back then, and her condition had improved tremendously after Arius gave her that medicine.
“Oh? Who’s your friend? Do I know them?” Ysabelle asked. She knew Sophie didn’t have that many friends, so she was curious as to who this person was.
“No, you don’t.” Sophie didn’t want to continue that topic as Ysabelle was far too pure and innocent for such things. Even so, that did not stop the two of them from being friends with each other.
“Oh, okay!” Ysabelle knew better than to push Sophie for answers if she didn’t feel like talking about it.
“Eustace has done a really good job this time, Mr. Tristan.”
Feeling bored out of his mind, Felix decided to talk to Tristan while the girls continued chatting away.
“Yeah, I think we can count on him.”
“All right, then.”
Felix had full faith in Tristan’s judgment, especially after witnessing Eustace’s excellent performance. The two of them refrained from mentioning S in front of Sophie and Ysabelle.
“By the way, Sophie, will The Wheelers be performing during Christmas?”
As all television stations would be competing against each other during Christmas, it would make perfect sense for The Wheelers to capitalize on that opportunity.
“The issue with The Wheelers’ contract has been resolved, so they’ll be returning tomorrow. As for the performance… Well, it’s Christmas, and our company isn’t open yet, so we’ll all just enjoy this festive season together!” The Wheelers would not be performing that year.
“Ah, I see! That’s a shame! It’s been forever since I’ve last seen them perform!” Felix decided to share the rumor he had recently heard.
