Pursuing Her novel (Sophie and Tristan) novel Chapter 873

CHAPTER 873 SURGERY

Noticing that her boss was still busy, the secretary dared not disturb him further. She had no choice but to leave and close the door behind her.

“You'll know just how capable I am after we're married,” Tristan said.

Why is he being such a pervert all of a sudden?

“What are you doing now?” Tristan asked with concern. As Sophie had a theoretical assessment in the morning and a practical test in the afternoon, she couldn't go home at noon. “How about I come over at noon to have lunch with you?”

“That's not necessary. Noontime is short, so you should go back and rest properly instead of traveling back and forth.”

“Okay.” Tristan tapped his thigh with one hand, feeling quite unhappy about not being able to see her at noon.

“What's the matter? If you have something to do, you can get back to work. Sandra and I are going to eat now.”

“All right. Go and have your meal, then.” He didn't want to delay her lunchtime. “Watch what you eat. You have a sensitive stomach.”

“Okay. I got it. Don't worry.”

After hanging up the phone, Sophie turned to face the two people beside her. “What's wrong? Why are you both looking at me like that?”

Sandra said, “It's just that we've never seen you like this before. You must really like Mr. Tristan, right?”

Regardless of their characters, any girl would show their docile side in front of their boyfriend.

“Yes, I like him a lot.” Sophie didn't feel the need to hide her affection for Tristan because she genuinely loved him.

“I envy you for being able to meet someone you're so fond of,” Sandra wondered when she could meet the love of her life.

“Don't envy me. Everyone will meet their special someone; it's just a matter of time.”

Simon chimed in, “I might not meet someone like that in this lifetime anymore.”

Hearing him say that, Sandra couldn't help but glance at him.

“I didn't mean anything by that. Don't take it to heart.”

Simon shrugged his shoulders. Honestly, that's just a desultory remark. The person I'm in love with will never reciprocate my feelings.

Sophie fell silent. Should I distance myself from Simon? He still seems to harbor feelings for me. If that were the case, wouldn't it be unfair to him for us to continue hanging out?

“All right, I really didn't mean anything by that. Let's go and have lunch. There's another practical examination in the afternoon, right?”

The evaluation was important for Sophie. Although they were able to anticipate the outcome, they still couldn't help feeling a little worried.

“Okay, let's go.” Simon walked ahead, not wanting to see the expressions on the two girls' faces. He was also very annoyed at himself for saying such words. I already know things can never work out between Sophie and me, so why did I mention that to make everyone uncomfortable?

“Sophie, Simon is...” Sandra didn't know what to say either. Forgetting had always been a difficult task.

“Do you think I should distance myself from him?” Sophie was uncertain, but she was willing to do so if necessary.

Sandra shook her head.

“If you do that, he'll definitely be heartbroken. Simon is actually a good person, and he's a wonderful friend.”

Simon used to be a spoiled scion in the past, but now, he was working very hard to be a better person.

“All right.” Sophie nodded.

Falling in love with someone wasn't something others could control. Hence, she was also at a loss for what to say at that moment.

The trio had their lunch at the cafeteria. Then, they went back to their respective place to rest. When Sophie reached the condominium, she found Tristan there.

“Didn't I tell you not to come back at noon? You should have rested in the company.” Tristan had a lounge inside his office at Lombard Group, where he could have taken a good nap. Instead, he chose to travel back and forth, causing him to have insufficient time to get proper rest at noon.

“I came back because there was nothing to do at the office,” Tristan said nonchalantly.

He felt uneasy when he couldn't see her, so no matter how busy he was, he wanted to come over at noon.

“You're so stubborn!” Sophie was stumped.

Tristan walked over and pulled her into his arms.

“What's the matter? Are you that reluctant to see me?” I only dropped by to see her, that's all. What's with that face of hers?

“That's not it. I just want you to get enough rest.” We will see each other at night anyway, won't we?

He picked her up, placed her on the couch, and helped her take off her shoes.

“I genuinely had nothing to do, so I came to see you.”

“Okay. Whatever you say is right.” She had no objections.

Tristan didn't respond. Fine. Perhaps I've been a bit too clingy lately.

“Sophie, do you think I'm annoying?” Tristan was a little discouraged, but all he wanted was just to stay by her side.

“No. I will never find you annoying. Don't worry.”

He didn't know how much she loved him.

“Okay. What did you have for lunch?”

“I ate at the cafeteria.”

“You should avoid eating at the cafeteria from now on. The meals there aren't nutritious.”

“So many people eat there, so how can the food there not be nutritious? The University of Medicine's cafeteria is still of acceptable standards. They prepared our meals by allocating just the right proportions of nutrients.”

“I don't care about others. I only care about you.”

“All right! I'll try to eat at home in the future.” She hadn't asked the housekeeper to come over and cook that day, so she ate at the cafeteria.

“Why don't we do this? I'll drop by tomorrow to cook for you.” He had recently learned a few more dishes and was eager to try making them.

“Tristan, you're too much. You're already very busy, so you don't need to come and prepare food for me.” This man is truly irresistible.

“Why is that? Is my cooking not good? Do you not like it?” He had been improving himself, but he seemed to be lagging a little behind still compared to Sarah.

“No, your cooking is great. I just hope you can have more time to rest at noon.”

“In that case, I'll cook for you in the evening!”

Sophie was rendered speechless.

“Sure.”

Ultimately, she nodded and agreed. After all, this is a heartfelt gesture on his part, right?

They took a nap in the mansion, and at two o'clock, Tristan drove Sophie to the University of Medicine.

“Good luck!” Tristan cheered Sophie on before he left.

“Okay. I'll do my best.”

Sophie waited for him to leave before walking inward. When the students saw her, they began discussing the theoretical exam in the morning as they still didn't know the results.

Nevertheless, everyone was very concerned about that evaluation. Sophie had attained a height they could never reach.

Someone like her could easily invoke others' jealousy.

Not only was she beautiful and intelligent, but she also had a handsome boyfriend. She was undoubtedly a winner in life.

Meanwhile, Sophie had arrived at the principal's office.

“Sophie, you're here. Perfect timing. Let's head to the site of this afternoon's exam now.”

“Okay.” Sophie had no objections whatsoever.

“The assessment this time will be surgery. Will you be fine?” No matter how capable Sophie was, she was still just a freshman. Hence, Dominic was actually quite worried about letting her perform an operation.
