Pursuing Her novel (Sophie and Tristan) novel Chapter 1007

“But hasn’t Old Mr. Lombard already picked out the date? Would it really be okay to change it now?”

William had hired an expert to pick out an auspicious date.

“We can always do that again. Let’s just get married earlier. I really don’t want to wait for another second.”

“Okay. I’ll go with whatever you say. I have nothing against it.” If he wants to get married, they let’s get married. It’s just a matter of time anyway.

Tristan took her by the hand. “I love you, Sophie.”

He just couldn’t help himself when it came to her. He loved her so much.

He wanted to be with her for the rest of his life and never be apart.

“I love you too,” Sophie replied, beaming. She had become much more jolly ever since they got together. The two arrived at the University of Medicine to find people taking photos in their robes everywhere. They had been here for seven years.

It was only natural that many felt reluctant to leave after having remained all these years.

Mistakes don’t matter that much at university. One would feel shameful at most, but time eventually passes and those embarrassing moments will be forgotten.

However, things are different outside of school. The challenges one has to experience in society are far more ruthless and sinister.

As soon as Sophie arrived, all the seniors she was classmates with called her over.

“Hurry, Sophie! You’re the only one left!”

They hadn’t spent much time with her. She was a medical genius, after all, and it had only taken her two years to achieve what had taken them seven years.

Even so, she was still their classmate, and having a group photo at graduation was a must.

Tristan helped Sophie wear her hat before adjusting her robe.

“Go on. They’re all waiting for you.” This was Sophie’s moment, and she deserved every second of it. “Okay. Wait for me here,” the young woman responded before trotting over to join her peers.

Although she didn’t enjoy being photographed, she knew it was necessary and thus squeezed herself into a corner.

Despite being dressed in the same attire as everyone else, Sophie was still the most captivating one out of the bunch. It didn’t matter what she wore; she always shone the brightest.

“All right, is everyone ready? Look over here and wait for my count,” the photographer instructed, adjusting the position of the camera for the last time. “Okay, smile! One, two, three….

Graduation

With that, Sophie’s time at the University of Medicine had come to an end.

The woman had only spent two years there, but she had learned everything she needed to learn along with everything she shouldn’t have learned. In truth, she enjoyed her days here.

After the photo-taking session, a senior approached her.

“I really like you, Sophie. Can I please have your number?” Everyone at the University of Medicine knew that Sophie had a boyfriend, so this man could only like her from afar.

Yet, now that everyone was going their separate ways, all he wanted was her phone number.

“I’m sorry, but I have a boyfriend. He’ll be upset if I give you my number.” Sophie genuinely cared about Tristan’s feelings and would never do anything that made him unhappy.

This was how she showed respect for their relationship.

Tristan had never had much of a sense of security in the first place because of their age gap, so why would she still do something to upset him more?
