It was already past midnight by the time Tristan and Sophie arrived in Chanaea.
They didn’t tell anyone about their return as they wanted to head back and get some sleep. However, they saw Ysabelle, Felix, Sean, and Charles waiting for them at the airport.
“We didn’t tell you guys about our return, so how did you guys know we were coming back?”
They had chosen not to tell anyone because they didn’t want them to come to pick them up this late.
Ysabelle stepped forward and hugged Sophie as she replied, “We have our ways of finding out!” Unbeknownst to the two, Bertram had made a post about their return on Instagram.
All they had to do was give him a call to ask about the couple’s flight schedule.
“I’ve missed you so much. Sophie!” Although they had only been separated for a little over a week, Ysabelle felt as though it had been a year.
That was a feeling men would never understand.
“Welcome back!” Sean had been really busy lately, but he came over to welcome them home anyway.
“Why did so many of you have to come to pick us up? And you, Ysabelle! There is news about you all over the internet! You should be laying low at home instead! Tristan yelled at them in annoyance.
“Why are you so mean to me, Uncle Tristan? I only came here because I missed Sophie! I wouldn’t have bothered to come if it was just you who came back!” Ysabelle snapped back at him.
In other words, they were only there because of Sophie.
Felix wrapped an arm around Ysabelle’s waist in a protective manner and said, “Hey, Mr. Tristan! My girlfriend is just as precious as yours, so be nice to her, okay?”
Sophie let out a chuckle when she heard that. “He’s just tired, that’s all. Come on, let’s go home. People might think something big is going down in Jipsdale if they see you all here!”
“We only came because we haven’t seen you two in a long time,” Ysabelle mumbled with a pout.
Honestly, Uncle Tristan sure is a petty one! He has been hogging Sophie all to himself for so long! Is that not enough?
“Let’s go!”
The conversation will never end if everyone keeps chiming in like this!
They had arrived at the airport in three separate cars, so Sophie and Tristan went back to Sean’s car.
It wasn’t until they arrived at the mansion that Tristan realized the others had followed them home.
“What are you guys doing? Are you all not planning on sleeping tonight?”
They know that we’re tired, so why would they follow us all the way home?
“We just thought you two would be hungry after getting off the plane, so we brought tons of food over! Let’s eat up before going to bed! My Aunt Sarah made you some soup too! She would’ve come as well if she weren’t so busy! What do you think, Sophie? Am I the best friend you’ve ever had?”
Ysabelle figured Sophie hadn’t been eating well during her time in Fandar, so she had brought a huge amount of food over.
In fact, Sophie was the only reason Ysabelle was willing to sacrifice her beauty sleep and rush over to the airport.
The group then made their way into the mansion and had supper together.
It had been a long time since they had a meal together, so Ysabelle treasured every second of it. I wish we can be together like this forever.
As Sarah had gone through the trouble of making that soup for them, Sophie decided to have some even though she wasn’t all that hungry.
“By the way, Grandpa knows about your return and wants you two to head over for lunch tomorrow,” Ysabelle said while filling Sophie’s bowl with soup.
“Got it.” Sophie and Tristan had spent quite a long time in Fandar, so it was about time they went back to pay William a visit.
