Pursuing Her novel (Sophie and Tristan) novel Chapter 780

Was Willow in the wrong? No, Willow did nothing wrong! She only did all that because we agreed to it!

Yale was not very happy when he heard what Charmaine said.

“What are you talking about? You'd better not bring this up in front of Sophie in the future, Charmaine!”

Yale had initially wanted to head out after dinner, but he dropped the idea when he recalled that Sophie was here.

Not wanting Sophie to know about his affairs outside the house, he decided to stay home instead.

Charmaine was furious, but there was nothing she could do about it. Because Sophie was the one calling the shots in the Tanner family, Charmaine and Willow had no choice but to put up with everything.

“I'm sorry for putting you in such an unpleasant situation, Mom,” Willow said apologetically. Mom is my only source of support right now, so I can't let her abandon me!

Charmaine gave her an affectionate pat on the cheek.

“You're my daughter, so it is only natural for me to protect you. She won't come after us as long as we leave her alone, so we should just behave ourselves from now on.”

As much as she hated Sophie, she knew that Sophie wasn't the unreasonable type who would attack without provocation.

Therefore, Sophie would not go after them as long as they left her alone.

“Don't worry, Mom. I know that she isn't someone I can afford to mess with, so I won't mess with her ever again!”

“I'm glad you understand. All right, I'm tired after a long day, so I'm going to head upstairs. You can either go back to your room or stay here and watch some television.”

Josiah was the only one who would want to watch the New Year's Gala. Charmaine and Willow didn't like it at all, but they used to watch it with him just to keep him company. Since Josiah was no longer around, they weren't about to sit around and watch that show by themselves.

However, Sophie came down the stairs before they could head upstairs. She then sat down on the couch and switched on the television.

“Are you planning on watching the New Year's Gala, Ms. Sophie?” asked one of the housekeepers upon seeing Sophie.

“Yeah. You guys can carry on with your tasks. Don't mind me.” Sophie used to find it boring when she watched it with Josiah back then, but she suddenly felt a strong urge to watch it with him after he was gone.

She didn't even care if the show was boring. All she wanted was to spend time with Josiah again. Unfortunately, that was no longer possible.

Charmaine figured it would be inappropriate if she went upstairs immediately after Sophie came downstairs, but she couldn't bring herself to watch the New Year's Gala with her either.

As such, she had found herself facing a dilemma.

Yale immediately came downstairs the moment he found out about Sophie watching the New Year's Gala. “Your grandpa loved watching the New Year's Gala! He probably loved it more than anything else in the world!” he said with a sigh while sitting down next to Sophie.

Sophie simply kept quiet and continued watching the show.

“What are you two doing standing around? It's our family tradition to watch the New Year's Gala! Come sit down right this instant!” Yale shouted when he saw Charmaine and Willow preparing to leave.

They don't have anything to do upstairs, so they might as well watch television with us!

Willow clenched her fists as she took a deep breath and sat down on the couch.

Charmaine, too, decided to join them as she had nothing to do upstairs anyway.

Although the four of them were seated together on the couch, they had nothing to talk about. Given how badly damaged their relationship was, there was absolutely no way to repair it anymore.
