Pursuing Her novel (Sophie and Tristan) novel Chapter 103

Chapter 103 The Terrifying Sophie

Following Sophie’s gaze, Tristan turned around and saw Ysabelle.

“Ah! I didn’t see anything. Really, I saw nothing at all!” Ysabelle declared as she covered her eyes.

Will he kill me to bury the secret? The look in Uncle Tristan’s eyes is really terrifying.

“Both of you should head down first, while I take a shower,” Tristan suggested before returning to his room.

Sophie was speechless.

Ysabelle defended herself, “Soph, I really didn’t see anything. Please beg Uncle Tristan on my behalf to let me live.”

“Way to go.”

“Boohoo… Don’t you love me anymore? Are you just going to stand idly by? And to think that I have always been worried about you.” Ysabelle was depressed.

“There, there. Don’t worry. You’ll be fine, as I’m here for you.”

Sophie’s words finally eased Ysabelle’s concerns.

“You’re still the best, Soph. I love you,” Ysabelle confessed brazenly.

Felix, who had gone out to get breakfast for everyone, walked in on the intimate scene upon his return.

F*ck, have I been cheated on?

“What are both of you doing?” A long while passed before Felix managed to find his voice.

Ysabelle released Sophie before shooting him a glare.

“It’s none of your business.”

“D*mn it, Ysabelle. Why are you being snarky to me recently? What have I done to deserve such treatment?”

“Your existence itself is a mistake.”

Felix responded with silence while standing rooted to his spot. In that instant, the dejection in his eyes was obvious to Ysabelle.

For a second, she regretted her action, and she realized that she shouldn’t have said such harsh words to him.

Just when she wanted to apologize, Felix told them to head downstairs for breakfast and left after dropping his words.

Ysabelle could feel a squeeze in her heart.

What’s wrong with me recently? Why am I always getting on Felix’s nerves? He isn’t a short-tempered man. But this time, it seems that I’ve really hurt him.

“Let’s go down and have breakfast,” Sophie said. Who knows how long Tristan will take to shower? Besides, we still have to go to school.

“Mmm-hmm!” Ysabelle followed Sophie downstairs.

When he saw them coming, Felix laid out the breakfast he bought on the table.

“Where’s Mr. Tristan? Is he not taking his breakfast?” Felix couldn’t help but ask.

Given that he was hurt by Ysabelle’s harsh words, he needed Tristan to heal that wounded soul of his.

“Uncle Tristan has gone back to his room to take a shower.” Ysabelle took the initiative to answer, hoping to salvage the situation.

Even though she had spoken politely, Felix simply grunted in acknowledgment.

When Ysabelle looked to Sophie for help, the latter, as someone who was no different from a brute, was equally clueless as to how she should console Felix.

After being insulted that way by someone he likes, he must be devastated.

“Anyway, I need to go first, as I have something to do. Please inform Mr. Tristan on my behalf.” Felix picked up a bagel and took a bite but still couldn’t bring himself to swallow it. Getting to his feet, he prepared to leave.

“Felix…” Ysabelle called out to him. He’s really pissed now. What should I do?

“I’m fine. I won’t disturb you today. You should focus on your studies.”

Just as Felix spoke, he grabbed his jacket and left.

Ysabelle, too, put down the bagel in her hand.

“Eat it! Why aren’t you eating it?” Sophie questioned. So what if he’s furious? I bet he will come crawling back to Ysabelle before the day ends.
