Pursuing Her novel (Sophie and Tristan) novel Chapter 196

Chapter 196 Innocent

Ysabelle sent a text message to Tristan: I think my dad and Aunt Sarah saw Sophie, Uncle Tristan. They’re talking about you and Sophie downstairs. You better be prepared.

Then she lay on the bed. It would be weirder if Dad and Aunt Sarah weren’t curious about Sophie. After all, Uncle Tristan has never shown any romantic interest in anyone.

On the other side, Tristan was driving down the mountain. “The people you saw earlier were my older brother and sister. I’ll introduce you to them at the right time.”

He didn’t want them to meet Sophie yet because he was worried they would scare her off.

She didn’t have any plans to meet his family yet, so she kept her silence on the matter.

When he saw her like that, he knew she didn’t want to meet them yet either.

“Don’t worry; you’ve still got me! I won’t let anyone hurt you, not even my family members,” Tristan promised.

He would fulfill his promise no matter what.

Sophie stared out the window. Truthfully, it’s not like I’m afraid of meeting his family. I just don’t want to. It’s not the right time to think about that. Even though I don’t want to meet them, they seem to want to meet me.

After sending Sophie back to Wisteria Apartments, Tristan returned to his home. Since Sarah has seen Sophie, she’s not going to let the matter go that easily. I know how stubborn she can be, and she’s not going to stop asking to meet Sophie even if Sophie doesn’t show up.

As expected, after he returned to the Lombard residence, he saw Sarah waiting for him in the living room. Despite the fact that the room was warm, she was wearing a pure white turtleneck sweater with a pair of blue jeans.

There weren’t any signs of her age on her at all.

“Why are you still up, Sarah? I thought women would start caring a lot about maintaining their appearance after reaching a certain age. Why are you staying up late?” Tristan uttered casually.

“Are you asking for a beating, Tristan? Is that how you should talk to your older sister? I don’t need any maintenance when I look forever eighteen and naturally beautiful!”

Sarah was indeed attractive-looking, and it was the elegant kind.

She patted his shoulder and gave him a glass of red wine. “You’re not young anymore, Tristan. If you do like her, bring her back home and let me take a look at her. I only caught a glimpse earlier, which made me even more curious about her.”

“She’s still young. There’s no need to rush.”

“You really aren’t in a hurry, huh? What kind of woman is she to be able to resist a handsome man like my brother instead of jumping right into your embrace?”

Sarah wasn’t praising him for no reason. Tristan really was that handsome.

He didn’t know how to reply to what his sister said.

“Tell me, how far have you two gone? You’re not that innocent and pure, are you?” she asked. My brother has always been a fierce and decisive person, so why is he acting so carefully when it comes to romance?

“She’s still young,” he repeated.

Of course, he wanted to do all sorts of things with Sophie. After all, he was a healthy man in his prime.

However, whenever he thought about her age, he held back his desire.

It was because he liked her that he was being so careful. He wanted to protect her and shield her from any harm.

“How young? Is she younger than Ysabelle?” Their family wasn’t really that restrictive about what Ysabelle did. Even if Ysabelle wanted to start a romantic relationship, they would only think it was normal.
