Anything For Her novel (Sophie and Tristan) novel Chapter 39

Chapter 39 Wait For You To Understand Me

Alas, Sophie’s following actions merely served to increase Winter’s fury.

The final ball soon rolled into the hole. Winter had lost the game without even getting a chance to play.

Seeing that, Charles, Felix, and Sean could barely hide their shock.

Is this her first time playing this game? She’s too good!

Ysabelle flung her arms around Sophie.

“Oh, that was amazing. Soph, you’re my idol!”

Tristan scoffed. “She has a great teacher, that’s why.”

“Mr. Tristan, you’re indeed amazing. I can’t believe you taught her this well in a short time!”

What are they talking about? No wonder Mr. Tristan treats her differently. She’s indeed different from what I expected.

Winter’s expression turned dark when she heard everyone lavishing praises on Sophie.

“It’s getting late. I’ll give them a ride home. You can continue with the game.” Tristan spoke up.

Sophie and Ysabelle were both twelfth-grade students, so they couldn’t stay up late.

“I’m taking my leave, too. Mr. Tristan, I didn’t drive here. Can you give me a ride home?” Winter asked.

Tristan was leaving, so there was no reason for her to stay behind. The new perfume was about to be released soon, so she was pretty busy with work.

“It’s not convenient,” Tristan rejected her without hesitation.

Winter nearly popped a vein in frustration. Isn’t it obvious that I have a crush on him? Can’t he see it? How could he be this heartless?

“Charles, she’s your sister. You brought her here, so take her back home yourself.”

“Mm. I’ll do that.”

“I’ll give Ysabelle a ride home. Her house is right beside mine, anyway,” Felix offered.

“Sure. Uncle Tristan, make sure Sophie gets home safely, all right?” Ysabelle implored.

“Let’s go. No one will be stupid enough to dare to harm her if she’s with Mr. Tristan.” Felix dragged her out.

Winter wasn’t about to give up just yet, but Charles didn’t give her any chance and pulled her away.

“Charles, why did you drag me out? I can walk myself!” she huffed angrily.

Charles sighed.

“Winter, you’re my sister. I know you’re smart, and our family has always been proud of you. However, you have to remember you can’t win someone else’s love just because you’re smart. Tristan doesn’t love you. No matter how much you work hard, he won’t notice you. In fact, if you weren’t my sister, you wouldn’t even get to be in the same room as him.”

How does someone as smart as her become a fool when in love?

“Charles, I don’t want to hear that. I want nothing more than to be with him. You’ll help me, right?” Winter whined. I’m the daughter of the Quigley family, and Charles is a good friend of Mr. Tristan. Everything is in my favor, so I can’t give up just yet!

“Be good. I can help you elsewhere, but this is beyond my capabilities,” Charles said. He wanted Winter to listen to his advice and give up, for her crush was fated for a bad ending. “Don’t do something that you’ll regret.”

Winter hung her head low and insisted, “But I worked hard. I can be his perfect partner!”

Charles shook his head. “Whether or not you are a suitable partner for Mr. Tristan depends on his preference. No one else can make up his mind for him.”

Tristan was born into an influential family, so he didn’t need a wife to elevate his status.

All he wanted was a woman who he loved.

Tristan drank that night, so he didn’t drive. His driver was already waiting outside.

After spotting them, the driver got out of the car and opened the door for them.

Tristan gestured for Sophie to enter the car before him.

The driver then closed the door and returned to the driver’s seat.

He didn’t need any orders, for he already knew where they were headed.

“Mr. Tristan, are you all right?” Sophie asked. He seems pretty downcast today.

“I’m fine. My head’s throbbing a bit, that’s all.”
