Pursuing Her novel (Sophie and Tristan) novel Chapter 215

Chapter 215

They Are Too Stupid for You “The Tanner family? Which one?” Walter hadn’t heard of the family that Winter mentioned before. “Oh, they’re nobodies.” I don’t think many guests who are in attendance here know them either. “Sarah, what’s going on?” Walter couldn’t help but ask Sarah, who quickly broke into a smile. “Old Mr. Quigley, Sophie is Ysabelle’s classmate and a good friend of hers. Hence, Tristan would always take them out. Since it’s your birthday today, he has also brought her along.” William wasn’t aware of Tristan and Sophie’s relationship yet. Considering how stubborn and difficult he was and the fact that Tristan had yet to decide when Sophie was to meet the former, Sarah had no choice but to deflect the matter away. “Oh, I see.” Walter didn’t inquire any further.

However, when Winter saw how protective Sarah was over Sophie, she was even more upset by it. “That’s right, Grandpa. However, the Tanner family are still nobodies.” Sarah was stumped. As an open-minded person, she didn’t care much about the Tanner family’s background. Unfortunately, William was someone particular about family reputation, which caused her to grow concerned for Sophie and Tristan’s future. After all, it wasn’t going to be easy for William to approve of Sophie. The fact that she was still so young didn’t help matters at all. Meanwhile, when Sarah and Winter were finally alone, Winter declared, “Sarah, I’ve always supported you all this while.” Reading between the lines, Winter was insinuating that Sarah was obliged to help her. Nevertheless, Sarah laughed at her words. “Winter, I’m well aware that your brother and I have no future together.

Thus, I’ve already given up.” As a member of the Lombard family, Sarah didn’t like being threatened. Her words caused Winter’s face to lose all color. “Sarah, that’s not what I meant. I just feel that you can empathize with what I’m going through, which is the frustration of not being able to be with the person I love.” Despite her frantic explanation, Winter didn’t expect her comments to worsen the situation. “All right, I’m going to look for Tristan and the others.” Sarah was in no mood to hear another word from Winter. Juan has someone he likes, and it’s time for me to let go too. After all, a woman’s youth is precious, and I no longer want to waste any more time on him. Watching Sarah’s leaving silhouette and thinking about how even the exceptional Sarah had failed, Winter grew more anxious. Within their circle, every parent had only words of praise for Sarah. In fact, many of them saw Sarah as a role model for their children. Unfortunately, even a paragon of feminine virtue like her has been decisively defeated in love. What should I do to make Sophie disappear from Mr. Tristan’s side?

Winter clenched her fists. When Sarah rejoined the group, Sophie, Felix, Sean, and Ysabelle were in the midst of playing poker. At the sight of Sarah, Ysabelle called out, “Aunt Sarah, come over here. I’m no match for them at all!” She was being crushed at the game given how intelligent the other three were. The smiling Sarah stood behind Ysabelle and guided her. After a few rounds, Sarah took an even greater liking to Sophie. All this while, she was well aware of her brother’s extraordinary intelligence. And after playing a few hands against Sophie, she, too, came to realize that the latter was just as terrifyingly smart. Despite playing in a half-hearted manner, Sophie had put out every card with a deft hand.
