Patrick couldn't help but say when he saw his son like this, “What's wrong with you, child? They are our saviors. What's wrong with saying thank you? I've been spoiling you, but how did you develop this bad habit?”
Simon felt wronged in his heart.
That was the girl he liked!
“Okay, I won't say any more. You've suffered a lot coming here with me today, so go back and rest early! There's still something going on at the hospital, so I'll go there first.”
Patrick really liked his hospital.
He rarely spent time at home.
“Dad, it's getting late, so you should go back and rest too! A lot has happened recently, and Mom has been worried. You should go back and accompany her.”
Patrick wanted to say something else, but thinking of his wife looking worried, he finally got in the car with Simon.
On the other hand, Tristan was unhappy.
Seeing Tristan like this, Sophie walked over and held his hand. “What's wrong? Why are you unhappy?”
Weren't things just fine before?
Now that things had been resolved, they could go home.
Tristan let her hold his hand and pulled himself up from the chair. The two of them walked out together.
“Are you really unhappy?”
“Yes, I'm very unhappy.”
“Oh! Can you tell me why you're unhappy? Is it because I'm meddling?” Sophie knew that Simon liked her, and she had never hidden that fact from Tristan. Was it because I helped Simon?
Tristan shook his head.
Am I such a petty person?
He had never taken Simon seriously.
“Then why?” Sophie was at a loss as to why he was unhappy if it wasn't because of Simon.
Tristan stopped walking. He hugged and kissed her for a while before letting her go.
Sophie was a little confused by the sudden affection, but she didn't resist.
Instead, she let him kiss her. She was no longer easily angered by this man.
When Tristan finished kissing her and saw her lips red, he felt a little better.
The weather was still cold, so he put his arm around her shoulder as they walked outside together.
“Don't you believe I can handle this? Why did you have Eustace come over?” Tristan was still dissatisfied with Eustace.
Sophie suddenly realized that it was because of Eustace that he had become upset like this.
Tristan had always been calm and composed, and she had never seen him like this before.
“I just thought we shouldn't waste any more time here. Besides, I've helped Eustace a lot, haven't I? It's only natural to have him deal with this now.”
Having Eustace come over was the most convenient way.
“Is it really just that?”
“Of course! I don't have any feelings for Eustace.” She knew that this man didn't have much sense of security when it came to her.
So, she could tell him directly.
“Okay, then!”
Well, I suppose Eustace should make himself useful. We've helped him a lot, and his status is getting higher and higher now.
The next day, when Sophie arrived in the classroom, she saw that Simon had bought breakfast for her and Sandra.
The hospital matter had been resolved, and he was feeling relaxed.
“Come on, eat up! I bought it specifically for you two. The breakfast here is really good. I had to wait in line for an hour to get it.”
“Simon, what are you doing? It's just breakfast. You actually queued for an hour! is that necessary?” Sandra questioned Simon while eating breakfast. “Are you serious? Haven't you given up yet?”
After knowing who his competitor was, how could he not give up?
“Stop talking nonsense. If you like it, eat more. If you don't like it, forget it.” The reason he got up early to buy breakfast was that he wanted to thank Sophie.
There was no denying that Sophie had indeed helped him solve a big problem.
Yesterday, in front of Mr. Tristan, he had been hesitant to speak, but he was still grateful to them.
Sophie had also not had any breakfast this morning.
Now that he had bought her favorite breakfast, she naturally didn't hesitate to eat it with him.
Other people were envious when they saw how good Simon was to these two girls.
“Simon, I haven't had breakfast either. I see you bought a lot. Can I have some?” the guy next to them asked with a smile.
Simon rolled his eyes.
“No! This is not for you. You have no right to eat it,” Simon said without hesitation.
The guy was dumbfounded.
Meanwhile, Greta had been watching. Since she broke up with Charles, she had been blaming Sophie.
But Sophie was Tristan's girlfriend, so she didn't dare do anything.
Now that she saw how well Simon treated Sophie, Greta felt even more upset. How could Sophie flirt around like that?
“Sophie, if your boyfriend knew you were flirting around outside, do you think he would let you off?” Greta couldn't help but say it out loud.
Sandra rolled her eyes.
“Greta, I think you have some issues! You must have some psychological trauma after being dumped.”
Greta had been boasting about her boyfriend before, but now that she had been dumped, she began acting like this.
Greta clenched her fists.
“Sandra, what nonsense are you talking about? When did I get dumped? We just have some conflicts now.”
Even at this point, Greta still refused to admit that she had been dumped.
“Hmph, you just have conflicts? Everyone knows the truth except for you,” Sandra sneered.
Greta stood up from her seat all of a sudden.
“Sandra, shut up. Don't think that—”
“Don't think what? I'm not the one thinking about marrying a rich husband all day.” After being with Sophie for some time, Sandra now also had fighting power.
“You...” Greta pointed at Sandra's nose.
“Greta, that's enough. If you don't speak, everyone will ignore you, so you don't have to be so high-profile. Being dumped is a normal thing.” Simon continued to add insult to injury.
Greta was so angry she could explode.
These people...
“Sophie, do you think you can be happy? I'll wait for the day when you get dumped. Do you really think you can marry into the Lombard family?”
Greta had very dark thoughts in her mind.
“That's my business, so you don't have to worry about it!” Sophie replied coldly. “Also, can you shut your mouth? It's affecting our breakfast mood!”
The whole class was watching, but no one helped her. Greta looked at the few girls who had been close to her before.
They also didn't say anything.
It made her feel even more disappointed inside.
“Just wait and see! Do you all want to see me become a joke? I'm telling you that it's impossible!”
Greta was so angry that she slammed the door and left.
“Sophie, did I go too far?” Seeing Greta's behavior, Sandra couldn't help but doubt herself.
