“Please, Mr. Tristan. Just ask Sophie to keep Ysabelle company!” begged Felix.
“Fine, fine. I’ll do that. Be careful on your way back.” Jadging from Felir’s tone, he’s clearly deeply hurt by this as well. It’s also obvious how much he likes her. Even though he sounds like he’s in pain, he’s still looking out for Ysabelle’s emotional state. I don’t understand what the two of them are doing. If they like each other, they should remain together and work out their problems instead of bickering all day.
Sophie tidied her messy shirt and hair before approaching Tristan.
Upon glancing at Tristan’s countenance, she had a pretty good guess of what had happened. “What’s the matter? They haven’t made up yet?” After he told her about Felix’s request, she nodded. “All right, then. We’ll stay here tonight. I’ll keep Ysabelle company
“I don’t want you to keep anyone else company.” Tristan pouted. Even if the person she’s staying with is my niece, I still don’t want her to go.
Standing on her toes, Sophie kissed him. “All right, you should return to your room and rest now. I’ll take a look at Ysabelle. Don’t worry. We still have a lifetime ahead of us. I’ll always stay by your side.”
Tristan felt much better upon hearing that. “That’s right. You belong to me for the rest of your life, so we have plenty of time left.” Although, I wonder, is a lifetime really that long? I want her to stay by my side in our next life and the one after that.
“I’ll check up on Ysabelle now. She’ll be fine with me by her side,” reassured Sophie.
“Okay. Go ahead!”
When Sophie arrived at Ysabelle’s room, she noticed the door was open.
Upon entering the room, Sophie saw her friend applying a facial mask as if nothing had happened.
“Why are you here? It’s late. You should rest.” Ysabelle really didn’t want to bother anyone. Since I’ve decided to break up with Felir, I should live a better life. Otherwise, Felix will think I can’t move on from him.
Sophie sat on the bed and stared at Ysabelle.
“Why are you gazing at me, Sophie? It makes me feel uncomfortable, you know,” remarked Ysabelle.
Sophie replied, “We’re best friends, aren’t we, Ysabelle? You can tell me what’s bothering you.”
In response, Ysabelle removed her facial mask. “I’m serious this time, Sophie. I really want to break up with him.” Since Felix feels so drained staying with me, why shouldn’t I break up with him for his sake?
“If you truly want to separate from him, I’ll support you. Regardless of your decision, I’ll always have your back.” Sophie didn’t want to interrogate her friend. I’m not Ysabelle, so I don’t know how she feels right now. All I can do is support her.
After washing her face, Ysabelle lay on the bed with Sophie. “Mhm. You always treat me the best, Sophie. I really don’t want anyone to ask me too many questions right now. All I need is for someone to stay by my side.
Thus, the two of them slept with each other. The next day, Ysabelle put on fancy makeup as though what happened last night didn’t occur.
Sophie felt much more at ease when she saw her friend doing better emotionally.
“I’m not kidding, Sophie. There’s no need to worry about me. I know I’ve always been finicky, but I know what I’m doing right now,” assured Ysabelle. Since I’m the one who proposed the breakup, I’ll do my best to move on from the relationship.
