Tristan escorted Sophie back to the Tanner residence. Regardless of the circumstances, they still had to pay a visit after marrying.
The trunk was filled with the things Tristan had purchased.
Sophie, naturally, had no objections. If Tristan decided to come, she would gladly accompany him. There was no need to dwell upon the matter further.
They soon arrived at the Tanner family residence. Caleb, who happened to have the day off, promptly arranged for a meal to be prepared when he saw them.
He insisted they stay for dinner. As he had neglected Sophie in the past, he wished to play the role of her elder brother well.
Charmaine ad Willow came downstairs too. Willow did not dare to toe the line in front of Tristan, so she appeared very docile.
After all, life at the deserted island wasn’t great.
Likewise, Charmaine did not dare to treat Sophie as casually as before.
No matter what, Sophie was now Tristan’s wife. She was not someone to be trifled with easily.
After seeing the gifts that Tristan prepared, she did not dare to run her mouth recklessly.
“You must join us for dinner tonight. It’s been ages since we had a family meal,” said Caleb to Sophie. “Soph, I know that many unpleasant things happened between us in the past, but that’s all behind us now. Now that you’re married, please stay for dinner!”
Caleb was afraid that Sophie would refuse, so he insisted..
Unexpectedly, she nodded.
“We can stay for dinner today. It’s just a meal. You don’t have to say so much.”
“That’s wonderful.”
Caleb heaved a sigh of relief when Sophie agreed.
There was nothing much for them to talk about. After all, things had irrevocably changed.
Sophie proceeded to pay her respects to Josiah.
“Grandfather, we’ve returned.”
Sophie was always exceptionally gentle when she was facing Josiah.
If only Grandpa is still here. But alas, it’s impossible now. Once someone is gone, they are truly gone. No matter how deeply I long for his return, he can never come back. No human can change the outcomes of life and death.
Tristan came to her side and held her hand to offer solace. He understood that Josiah was a permanent wound in her heart.
“Enough now. Don’t be sad. If your grandfather knew, he’ll be sad. After all, he doted on you the most,
didn’t he?”
Indeed, Josiah really doted on Sophie, which was what made her struggle to let go of the past.
“Yeah.”
Having nothing to talk about, Willow and Charmaine went upstairs after sitting there for a while.
Once certain relationships were formed, it would be hard to change them, especially considering the audacious acts that Willow and Charmaine had done in the past.
However, the tables had changed now.
Willow, in particular, could not bear witnessing Sophie’s overwhelming happiness, which contrasted with her own pathetic downfall.
Faced with these circumstances, she was left with no solutions. All she could do was retreat to her room silently and seethe in anger while lying on her bed.
