“Okay, I get it. Can you give me some space? With you this close, I'm a little—”
However, before she could finish her sentence, her lips were assaulted by a flurry of kisses that showed that he was more than eager to make her all his.
The man wanted to be the only person on her mind and hated the fact that she was always distracted by others.
There was nothing Sophie could do to stop Tristan as her body went completely limp. She was completely defenseless against him.
“Stop spending so much time worrying about Ysabelle. What you should be doing is figuring out what kind of wedding you want. You only get to do this once! I don't want you to have any regrets. Do you understand?” questioned Tristan, who found it difficult to control himself when he saw how Sophie's lips had turned wet after his kisses.
At that moment, he wanted nothing more than to make love with her right then and there.
Tristan's urge was so strong that he could not think about anything else. He was convinced that no one could understand how eager and desperate he was.
“I think the wedding is just a process; there's really no need to spend too much time and energy on it. Anything decent will do.” Sophie knew they were both busy and had many things to tend to, so she did not think they should waste too much time on the wedding.
However, Tristan was not happy to hear that.
“We only marry once in a lifetime, so how can we just make light of it? Even if our wedding isn't the most enjoyable, it has to be unforgettable.” There was no way Tristan would settle for a perfunctory wedding. I must give her what she deserves!
“Then why don't you tell me what kind of wedding you want?” Sophie did not expect that Tristan would care so much about the wedding. He didn't seem like someone who would fuss over such details.
“How do you feel about a castle? Maybe a church? Whatever you want, I'll make it come true.” To Tristan, Sophie's feelings were what mattered most.
“Ysabelle and the others think a traditional wedding is nice. Maybe we should go with that.”
“A traditional wedding? I suppose that's a pretty good choice. You'll be the most beautiful bride in the world when you put on a traditional wedding dress.” Tristan was sure that Sophie would look stunning no matter what she wore because she was nothing if not gorgeous.
Since Sophie said she wanted a traditional wedding, Tristan approached the most well-known tailor in Jipsdale the next day because he wanted only the best for his woman.
After all, the tailor's ancestors specialized in designing traditional wedding headdresses and dresses for royals.
When the tailor realized that it was Tristan who required his service, he immediately got to work.
“Mr. Tristan, this is my latest design; there's nothing in the world that looks like it. It'll be breathtaking when I'm done with it. No, it'll be out of this world!” exclaimed the tailor with a satisfied grin.
“I'll take it!” Tristan knew that was the headdress he wanted the second he laid eyes on the draft.
Even though Tristan only saw the design for the headdress, he could already imagine how magnificent Sophie would look with it.
“I'll do my best to design the rest of the outfit to go with the headdress as soon as possible! You can let me know what you think by then, and we'll go from there,” stated the tailor.
“Sure!”
Although the wedding was still a year away, Tristan had already begun to prepare for the traditional wedding Sophie wanted.
Tristan did not think it was necessary for Sophie to worry about the preparation, for all she had to do was prepare herself to be his beautiful wife.
After gazing at the traditional red wedding dresses in front of him, Tristan was even more confident that holding a traditional wedding was the right decision. With her snow-white skin, Sophie will look incredible in a traditional wedding dress.
Despite the fact that it was almost Christmas and that Sophie did not have much to do at the medical association, she still woke up on time instead of sleeping in because of her impeccable body clock.
What she did not expect was that Tristan had left the mansion early in the morning.
Knowing that there was a Lombard Group annual party that evening, Sophie decided to let Tristan focus on his business.
The housekeeper had already prepared breakfast when Sophie got out of bed.
“You were so busy before this, Ms. Tanner. Now that you finally have some time to yourself, you should have a good rest,” uttered the housekeeper, who thought all youngsters enjoyed sleeping in. I guess Ms. Tanner is an exception.
“I've had enough rest. Where's Mr. Tristan? Where did he go this early in the morning?” It still feels weird to not see him around when I wake up.
“Mr. Tristan said he had to go out because he had matters to tend to. He instructed us to prepare breakfast for you but didn't say where he was heading.”
“Okay, I understand.”
Sophie then read the newspaper while slowly having her breakfast. Although she did not feel like eating in the morning, she knew she could not just drink milk, so she had a piece of bread too.
When the housekeeper saw that, she could not help but wonder if the meal she had prepared was not to Sophie's liking.
“Do you not like the breakfast we prepared for you, Ms. Tanner? If so, we can get you something else.”
Sophie shook her head in response since she was aware that she simply did not have the appetite. “You don't have to do that. It's just that I'm not used to having breakfasts.”
“You can't skip breakfast, Ms. Tanner. Young people like you need to learn to take good care of your health!” said the housekeeper out of concern when she realized the young woman was not as aloof as she seemed.
“Okay.”
Sophie was not averse to the housekeeper's concern. That was how she always treated others. Even though she seemed distant, anyone who had interacted with her knew she was easy to get along with.
When Sophie was still conversing with the housekeeper, Tristan suddenly returned.
“Why didn't you sleep in?” inquired Tristan, joining the woman still in her pajamas at the dining table.
“I've slept enough. Where did you go this early in the morning?” asked Sophie curiously. Now that Christmas is just around the corner, there shouldn't be much to do at Lombard Group.
“I had some matters to attend to.” Tristan was not ready to tell Sophie about his preparations just yet, so he joined her for breakfast instead.
When Tristan got the tailor's contact information early that morning, he immediately went over. The tailor was still asleep when Tristan arrived.
It could not be helped because Tristan was so excited that he refused to wait any longer.
“You're not hiding something from me, are you?” questioned Sophie while eating.
Tristan smiled in amusement. “Relax! I'm not going to betray you in any way. I simply don't have the heart to do that.” She can relax.
“You're right.” Sophie did not care what Tristan was up to as long as he was happy.
“Get changed. We're going out!” After breakfast, Tristan pulled Sophie up from her chair and carried her in his arms.
In turn, Sophie wrapped her arms around the man's neck. “Where are we going?”
