Anything For Her novel (Sophie and Tristan) novel Chapter 708

Chapter 708 Is Marriage The Tomb Of Love

“Mhm!”

She initially wanted to get married after graduating from university, but after what happened to her, it did not seem like a bad idea to carry her plan forward.

There were only so many decades in a person's life, and she did not want to have any regrets.

“Really? You're agreeing to this?” The joy and excitement were audible in Tristan's voice.

“Mhm. Let's get married.” What other thoughts could I possibly have about this?

“Okay! I'll make preparations right away!” All of a sudden, frustration inundated Tristan, for he had not done any preparations whatsoever.

“What preparations? My grandpa's gone now. The rest are just procedural stuff.”

Sophie loved him, so those traditions did not matter.

“Of course I have to make preparations! I haven't proposed to you yet!” He had only casually mentioned it in the heat of the moment and was not expecting her to agree to it.

“Did I get you wrong? I thought you were proposing to me,” Sophie said with a chuckle. “Tristan, since we've decided to be together, let's just skip the details.”

Sophie never liked troublesome affairs.

“How can we not take things seriously when this is a once-in-a-lifetime milestone? You have to have what others have.”

Tristan stubbornly insisted on giving her a grand ceremony. Sophie was the woman he loved, so naturally, he would not be stingy in providing her with the luxury others got to enjoy.

“All right, as long as you're happy,” Sophie relented. She didn't really care about those ceremonial affairs.

That night, instead of spending time with Sophie after sending her back to the mansion, Tristan returned to the Lombard residence.

When William saw him, he began taking jabs at him again.

“Tristan, are you really my son? Think long and hard about this. How long has it been since you came back to visit me? Other children go home to see their parents every day, but what about you?” William uttered in displeasure.

He had two sons and a daughter, but every one of them was too busy to keep him company. Hence, he was lonely.

“Dad, I've been really busy lately. That's why I didn't come back to visit you.”

Tristan had been in Jetroina recently, and the moment he was back, he had to settle Lombard Group's matters. He didn't have the time to visit William.

“That's right. All of you are so busy, and I'm the only one who has too much time on my hands. That's why everyone leaves me behind.” Old people tended to lose control over their tempers. If William had been younger, he would never have thrown a tantrum and said something like that.

“Dad, I'm here to tell you about something.”

“What is it?” William had never seen Tristan behaving so solemnly before.

“Sophie and I are getting married.”

William fell silent.

So he's only back because of Sophie. If it weren't for their upcoming marriage, he wouldn't have come, huh?

“So what are you trying to tell me? Are you here to ask for my opinion, or are you here to inform me about it?”

“Dad, regardless of everything, you're my father. You were the one who raised me, so I still hope to get your blessings for this.” It did not matter to him, but it was not the same for Sophie.

She deserved the best things in this world.

Thus, no matter what, Tristan hoped that his father could accept Sophie into the family and not make things difficult for her.

“Fine. You're not that young anymore anyway. If you want to get married, then so be it. I have no objections, but you have to make the wedding a good one.”

Tristan was his son, and the Lombard family had a reputation to keep in Jipsdale.

“Dad, the two of us will discuss the wedding details between ourselves. You don't need to worry about it.”

Hearing that, William became annoyed. What does he mean by that?

“If my memory still serves me well, I'm your father. What do you mean when you say I don't need to worry about it?”

There was finally something William could intervene in, so there was no way he was going to stay out of it.

When Sarah came home to the hostility between the father and son, she sighed.

“What's going on? It's rare for Tristan to come home, so can't the two of you talk things out in a civil manner?”

“Sarah, perfect timing. I want to hear what you think about this. He said he has decided to marry Sophie, and I'm fine with that. But why can't I get involved in the wedding planning?”

Sarah glanced at Tristan.

“I thought she hasn't graduated yet. Why are the two of you suddenly getting married?”

Sophie's only twenty this year. She's still too young. They should wait for a little longer.

“I don't want to wait anymore, not after what happened this time. I want to be with her. Since we're going to be together for the rest of our lives, what's wrong with getting married a little earlier?”

“I understand what you mean.”

After all, they had indeed gone through a life-and-death situation.

Anyone would want to get married to the person they loved after experiencing something like this.

“Dad, the wedding is something between the two of them. We'll help them out if they need our help, but if they don't, then all we have to do is attend the wedding.” Young people have their own ideas for planning a wedding, and they don't necessarily share the same ideas with the older generation. We should respect young people's preferences.

“You... I shouldn't have gotten you involved in this conversation! The two of you grew up together, so of course you're going to be on his side!”

William was exasperated.

It had been a long while since the last happy event in the Lombard family, and William thought he could get involved in the planning of the event.

“Dad, you can do whatever you like with my wedding in the future, all right?” Sarah offered with a giggle.

“Forget about it. I don't know how long I'd have to wait until you get married.”

Well, Tristan has finally settled down. I wonder how things will turn out for my daughter, however.

“By the way, Sarah, do you have anything to do with Juan's matter?” By then, news regarding Yvette had spread like wildfire. Even an old man like William had more or less learned about the incident.

Nevertheless, Sarah did not expect her father to mention that man.

“Don't worry, Dad. There isn't anything between me and Juan. We're not even in contact with each other right now.”

Sarah had chosen to bury everything in her past six feet under her.

“No worries, Dad. I'm all recovered now. I'm going to find someone who truly loves me from now on.”

She was no longer averse to new relationships.

Upon hearing that, William breathed a sigh of relief. “I'm glad that you're better now. You're my precious daughter, so don't make yourself so miserable because of that man, okay?”

“Mhm. I know.”

In the meantime, Ysabelle was thrilled when she found out that Sophie was going to marry her uncle.

“Sophie, have you really made up your mind? But you're still so young! Are you really going to step into the tomb of love?”

Everyone says that marriage is the tomb of love!

“Yes, I've made up my mind. Regardless of what marriage is, as long as I'm with him, I'll still step right into it.”

People tend to say that things change after marriage, but nothing matters as long it's Tristan by my side.

“Fine, then. I never thought you'd be the first to marry, though,” Cecelia commented, still surprised.
