Pursuing Her novel (Sophie and Tristan) novel Chapter 786

CHAPTER 786 OBLITERATING HIS SANITY

“Yeah.”

Tristan was wholly unbothered about Sophie seeing his nude photo when he was young because she would be laying eyes on him while he was in his birthday suit sooner or later.

In fact, she would be seeing the real thing after they had gotten married.

“Are you tired as you didn't nap today? Rest for a while since you've finished looking at the photos.”

“Okay.”

Sophie went back over to his bed. The bedsheet and covers were new, with the lingering fragrance of detergent.

The smell was quite pleasant to the senses.

Lying on the bed, she pulled the covers over her. Tristan was also a tad tired, so he lay down with her.

“Would it be somewhat ill-mannered for us to sleep here when everyone else is downstairs?” Worry flooded Sophie even as she nestled in his embrace.

“There's no need to bother about that. Don't worry! My family is easy to get along with, and they'll take care of Arius.”

“All right, then.”

Cuddled in his arms, Sophie felt incredibly peaceful at that very moment. I like this. This is great.

Shortly after, she fell asleep in his arms. At her docile sleeping countenance, Tristan could not resist kissing her on the forehead.

What an enthralling vixen! How could there be such a person who can easily take my breath away in this world? I can even forget to breathe when I'm merely gazing at her!

As he stared at her, he eventually dozed off as well.

Downstairs, Arius knew that Tristan had taken Sophie upstairs. Sophie was in the habit of napping, and the same went for him.

However, he had been sleeping a lot in the past few days, so he was not drowsy right then.

Subsequently, Sarah came over. Upon seeing him alone there, she remarked, “If you're tired, Arius, you can go and rest for a while.”

“No, it's okay. You can go about your work. There's no need to bother about me.”

William was also taking a nap then. Meanwhile, Felix and Ysabelle might have gone someplace to spend some time alone. Hence, Arius was the only person left there.

In the next second, he added, “Perhaps I can be of help to you!”

“No, thanks,” Sarah declined as soon as she recalled the ravioli he made.

Despite having a doctorate in medicine, he seems to be really inept at cooking. Besides, he's a guest. How could I have him help me?

“If you say so. I'll merely wait, then.” Arius was willing to stick around for dinner, for Sarah's cooking was delicious.

Sarah did not continue exchanging pleasantries with him but went back to the kitchen and resumed cooking. It was Christmas that day, and there was a crowd at home, so she definitely had to whip up a feast.

“Take a break first, Ms. Sarah! You've been bustling around the whole day.” She hasn't rested since she woke up in the morning until now. After making ravioli earlier in the day, she's now cooking dinner.

“It's okay. I'm not tired when I'm with everyone here.” Sarah was glad to be cooking for those she cared about.

As she was cooking, her phone rang all of a sudden. When she saw it was a call from Juan, she was stunned for a moment.

Huh? What's wrong with him? He's never been so diligent in calling me in the past. But now, he pesters me every single day!

She wiped her hands with a towel before leaving the kitchen to answer the phone. Unfortunately, she did not know what to say after picking up the call.

The incident with Yvette this time caused quite a stir, but Juan swiftly suppressed the rumors out there.

Anyhow, she truly did not care about it all.

“Merry Christmas, Sarah.” Juan sounded exceedingly cheerful. He had finally figured out that he actually had feelings for Sarah as well. Alas, he did not realize it in the past.

Sarah, on the other hand, remained silent.

She did not want to speak to him, nor did she know what else she could say to him.

“Don't contact me anymore, Juan. Although we're considered childhood friends, our relationship hasn't been all that close. So, let's leave things as they are. It's good that we have our own lives.”

There's really no point in taking things so far that we might not even be able to remain friends anymore.

“Don't do this to me, Sarah. Even if we're just friends, greeting each other during Christmas is nothing unusual!”

“Yeah. Well, you've already greeted me, so I'll be hanging up first. I've still got to cook.”

“You're cooking personally? Don't tire yourself out.” She has a lot of help at home. Why doesn't she have them cook instead?

Words eluded Sarah.

Truly, she did not know what to say in the face of his belated concern.

In the end, she still hung up the phone and refocused her attention on cooking. In the meantime, Sophie slept for over an hour before rousing.

The instant she woke up and lifted her head, she was greeted by Tristan's handsome countenance. Ah, he must have just woken up as well!

He appeared slightly groggy since he had just woken up. Even so, he was still mesmerizingly handsome.

Sophie was still bleary with sleep, but she could not help leaning forward and pecking the corner of his mouth.

“Take a break first, Ms. Sarah! You've been bustling around the whole day.” She hasn't rested since she woke up in the morning until now. After making ravioli earlier in the day, she's now cooking dinner.

“I love you, Tristan!”

That heartfelt confession from the woman he loved no sooner had he woken up made his heart skip a beat. In the next second, he pulled her into his arms and planted a passionate kiss on her.

“You're truly an enthralling vixen!”

As Sophie grew older, she became even more alluring, obliterating his sanity and self-control.

The kiss was beyond scorching. Tristan's hands weren't idle either, slipping into her clothes.

At the sensation of her smooth and delicate skin, his restraint slipped even further.

Following his caress, Sophie felt as though her entire body had melted into a puddle, and she could not resist him at all.

In truth, she was not the least bit averse to his touch. In fact, anticipation bubbled within her.

They were dating in the first place, and people nowadays had no qualms about being intimate within days of getting acquainted, let alone when they were engaged to be married.

The intriguing feelings muddled her mind, but ultimately, she still grabbed his hand.

“Not here.”

I'm not ready for the final step yet.

With his hand clamped between her legs, Tristan did not continue exploring, considering the fact that she had said no. Instead, he planted a harsh kiss on the corner of her mouth.

“Take it easy. Otherwise, they'll misunderstand later.” There are a lot of people downstairs. How would I face them later if they were to see me with my lips all red and swollen? I'd be too embarrassed to go downstairs to eat!

“It's okay. No one would dare comment on it.” Who would dare say anything about my woman?

“That's not the issue here.” Gah! No matter my guts, I'd still be mortified to go downstairs with red and swollen lips that would have imaginations run wild, okay?

Tristan gently brushed a finger across Sophie's red and swollen lips.

“Serves you right for teasing me when you know that I'm powerless to resist you.”

“Fine, then. I won't do it again in the future. Satisfied now?”

“Nope! You must do it again, and you can only do it to me. You're not allowed to tease other men, okay?”

It's okay. We've got a lifetime ahead of us, and I have plenty of time to explore her body slowly. There's no hurry.

“Anyway, should we be going downstairs now?” I wonder if everyone else is downstairs. That aside, Arius is alone there. Ah, the mere thought makes me pity him!
