Pursuing Her novel (Sophie and Tristan) novel Chapter 31

Chapter 31 Feisty

Seeing how Tristan was taking care of Sophie, Ysabelle panicked even further. She got so worried that she lost her appetite.

“What’s wrong? I thought you said you were hungry earlier?” Felix asked caringly.

Ysabelle put down her fork.

“Are you full now, Soph? Let me take you out on a stroll,” she said. I should avoid letting Soph meet Uncle Tristan in the future. I really like her, and I don’t want to lose a friend like her.

“Mm-hmm.” Sophie nodded.

“I’ll be taking Soph out on a stroll now, Uncle Tristan!” Ysabelle informed before dragging Sophie outside.

“What’s up with her?” Tristan asked Felix.

“She’s afraid you’ll snatch Sophie away.” Felix could tell Ysabelle really liked Sophie.

Tristan didn’t ask about it further.

“Oh yeah, the Lane family has been getting restless recently. Find something for them to do to keep them busy.” Tristan put his fork down, raised the wineglass next to him, and gently swirled the wine within.

“You mean the Lane family who kidnapped Ysabelle?” Felix’s expression darkened when he heard that.

“Yes. Don’t worry; leave it to me.” Sean didn’t like to talk, but he was efficient and reliable when it came to work.

“Oh yeah, did you hear about Jason?” Charles suddenly asked.

“What about him?”

“None of you knew his law firm is under investigation? I thought you two were the ones who did it.”

“I was going to!” Felix didn’t expect that to happen. Who did it? Who else dislikes Jason?

“Someone anonymously reported Jason’s law firm. That someone also sent evidence of his tax evasion to the relevant authorities.”

Tristan raised his eyebrow. That’s quite a direct and brutal tactic. Jason won’t even have the chance to struggle. Who’s the one behind this?

“Let’s go swimming, Soph!” Ysabelle suggested. There were a lot of things in the resort, including an excellent outdoors pool.

“I didn’t bring a swimsuit with me,” Sophie informed.

“You can find anything here! Follow me; I’ll take you to buy one.”

Ysabelle brought Sophie to the swimming pool by taking the shuttle bus.

Before they went in, they headed to the shop to buy swimsuits.

Ysabelle was very excited when she saw the skimpy swimsuits on display.

“Wear this, Soph.” She grabbed one of the skimpy swimsuits and gave it to Sophie. “You have a wonderful figure, so you’ll definitely look good in this! Wear this one, okay, Soph?”

As she spoke, she stared at Sophie’s chest lewdly.

“You’re a woman too, Ysabelle! Can you not be that indecent?” Sophie put the swimsuit back and picked a far more conservative one.

“You’re too unadventurous, Soph! Those who come to swim will use the opportunity to show off their bodies!” Ysabelle picked a two-piece swimsuit.

She, too, didn’t have the guts to wear a one-piece swimsuit.

After Sophie handed the swimsuit to the owner of the shop, she pulled out a bank card.

“There’s no need for that, Soph. This entire resort belongs to Uncle Tristan!”

“It’s fine. I have money.” Sophie didn’t have the habit of taking advantage of others.

She paid for the swimsuit before both of them went to the swimming pool.

The weather was still hot despite the fact that it was October already. Therefore, a lot of people were swimming in the pool.

The two women changed into their swimsuits in the changing room before exiting with a towel around their shoulders.

They both had slender legs and fair skin. Even though there were already plenty of sexy women in the swimming pool, they still stood out.

The moment they showed up, a lot of people’s attention shifted toward them.

It was also then that Casey saw Sophie.

He had been busy with his competition, which was why he hadn’t gone to find her recently. Little did he expect to see her at the pool.

“What are you looking at, Casey?” one of Casey’s teammates asked.

“A friend I know. I’ll go and greet her.” When Casey finished, he ambled toward Sophie. My body looks pretty good. I bet she’ll like it! Girls like six-pack muscles, right?
