Chapter 49 Change Your Clothes
In the end, Tristan took everything with him.
He crossed the room to wake Sophie up. Sophie woke up feeling much better.
“What are you doing?” she asked with a hoarse voice. Her throat felt sore every time she talked.
“Helping you change.”
Sophie didn’t respond to him.
“Go on. Take off your wet pajama first.”
Sophie didn’t do as he demanded and merely stared at him coldly.
“What’s the matter?” Tristan didn’t think there was anything wrong with his request.
“Do you always flirt with girls like this, Mr. Tristan?”
“I don’t have to do anything. I just stand there and women will flock to me. I never needed to flirt.”
Sophie was speechless at his answer.
“Fine. Seeing as you’re feeling much better, change into these yourself, then come down for lunch.”
Tristan left the room after that. Sophie finally swung her gaze from Tristan to the clothing he brought her. It was her pajama and lingerie.
She could feel the heat on her face, thinking about how he had touched her most intimate articles of clothing. The always composed Sophie had lost her cool then.
Feeling uncomfortable with the sweat on her body, Sophie took a quick shower and changed into a fresh set of clothing.
After drying her hair, she finally went downstairs.
“Lunch is ready, Ms. Tanner. I’ll be heading back now. You can leave the dirty dishes after you’ve finished. I’ll clean them in the evening when I come over.”
“All right.”
After the housekeeper left, Tristan was still in the study, so Sophie took a seat at the dining table.
Tristan answered a call and told his assistant to reschedule all his meetings that day.
He left for the kitchen after that. At the threshold, he saw Sophie already seated at the dining table.
Tristan walked over and scooped some pasta for her.
“You didn’t take more than a few bites this morning, so eat more now.”
Sophie held a fork in her hand and looked at him.
“Don’t you have something to do today?”
He doesn’t have to accompany me.
“If you have something to do, you can leave after eating. I’m feeling much better now.” It wasn’t even a big deal. It was just a fever.
“I’m free today.”
Collaboration worth billions can’t compare to the girl sitting in front of me.
“Fine then.”
Sophie didn’t try to persuade him anymore since he said so.
“Have some too, Mr. Tristan. Don’t just stare at me.”
Only then did Tristan pick up his spoon, but he didn’t start eating. Instead, he started scooping more food for her.
After he was satisfied that she wouldn’t go hungry, he finally dug into his food. The crease on Sophie’s forehead deepened with every bite. The food tastes quite bland today.
“What’s wrong? Is the food not to your liking? Shall we change the housekeeper?”
Sophie shook her head.
“It’s fine.” This housekeeper is quiet and professional. I feel comfortable when I’m with her.
“I’ll just have her add some condiments next time.”
“You have the numbers for The Crown and Pegasus Pavilion, so just give them a call for food delivery if you don’t like the housekeeper’s food.”
“I’m not that particular.” I’m fine as long as it’s filling. I’m not picky with food.
After finishing lunch, Sophie couldn’t sleep anymore, so she settled onto the couch and watched the television.
