Chapter 294
An Unforgettable Love “Dad, I’m your precious little girl. I’ll definitely not lie to you.” Sarah was solidly behind Tristan and Sophie, for she had taken a particular liking to the latter. “Precious little girl? I’m surprised you’re not embarrassed to say something like that now. All this while, you keep turning down my suggestions to get married. Why? Do you plan to wait for that Quigley kid for the rest of your life?” She’s no longer young. After a few more years, she’ll be past the ideal childbearing age.
“Dad, enough talk. I’m going out for my morning jog.” In no mood to discuss the matter, Sarah swiftly slipped away. The moment she left, Ysabelle came by. “Good morning, Grandpa!” “Ysabelle, you’re awake! Since it’s rare for you to have a holiday, why don’t you sleep in?” Ysabelle was William’s favorite at home. She walked up to William and gave his shoulders a massage. “I’ve had enough sleep. Grandpa, are you going to your old comrade’s house later? I want to go out too; it’s just that Dad…” Ysabelle put on a pitiful expression. “Ysabelle, let me tell you, you’re free to go anywhere you want for Christmas. Ignore your dad. Let me know if he dares to reprimand you, and I’ll give him a piece of my mind.” In that house, he was the head of the family. Ysabelle gave William a peck on the cheek at once. “Grandpa, you’re the best!” William’s heart melted when the cute Ysabelle put on an adorable expression on purpose. Consequently, he was willing to do anything for her at that moment.
Meanwhile, Tristan had arrived at the entrance to Sophie’s home. It wasn’t until he noticed that it was only slightly past nine that he realized how anxious he was. He then retrieved his phone and gave Sophie a call. Sophie was in the midst of adding a firewall to the Wings of Light when she answered his call. After putting him on speaker, she placed her phone on her desk while continuing with her work. “Good morning.” “I’m at your door.” “What?” Sophie’s hand froze as she was taken by surprise. Hence, she quickly wrapped up her work and walked to the full-length window with her phone in hand. Upon glancing outside, she saw Tristan’s car there. “Mr. Tristan, what are you doing?” Why is he here on Christmas Day? “Are you going to come out, or am I to go in?” Sophie was lost for words. He’s not giving me any choice in the matter at all! “Wait right there. I’ll get changed.”
No sooner had Sophie ended the call than she put on a different set of clothes and headed out. The moment she stepped out the door, she was greeted by the sight of the casually dressed Tristan. He was in a white sweater and a black double-breasted coat. His dapper appearance made him look like a model straight out of the cover of a fashion magazine. When she laid eyes on him, Sophie suddenly began to miss him. Upon her approach, Tristan, too, walked up to her before wrapping his hands around her waist. “Sophie, I missed you.” The speechless Sophie felt as if she would melt from his teasing. As he finished speaking, Tristan gave her a kiss on her forehead. “Didn’t your dad ask you to keep him company at home?” “I prefer to be by your side today. So, do you have anything planned?”
