Chapter 1008 Before
“Mr. Sawyer, I think you’re aware that I haven’t actually spent much time on campus throughout my two years here.”
She always had places to be.
“That’s not a problem! You can just come by to do your research whenever you have the time. I have no expectations regarding your attendance.” All he wanted was for her to continue studying here. “You’re a star, Sophie! I don’t want you to enter society too soon. Contribute to research in medicine instead. Your future is limitless.”
Dominic really cherished talented students.
“All right. I’ll think about it.”
The man was exasperated. Everyone wanted to get their hands on someone like Sophie. By now, there would surely be so many other institutions out there trying to get her to choose them.
“Let me know if there’s anything I can help you with. Don’t be shy. It’s an honor to have you as a student here.”
“Thank you, Mr. Sawyer.”
Dominic had always been nice to her.
Unfortunately, she really wasn’t sure if she could afford to stay. She would be getting married and have her own children after that.
All of these would take time.
“What’s wrong?” Tristan came over after the chancellor had left.
“We’re done here, so let’s go home. Time sure flies by, huh? It feels like I’ve only been here a while, but it’s been two years,” Sophie lamented, having originally come to Jipsdale because of her grandfather.
Now, she wasn’t leaving, and it was also because of him.
Tristan wrapped an arm around her shoulder as they walked out together.
“Yeah. Time does pass quickly. But that’s not exactly the case for me, because I’ve been wanting to take you as my wife ever since the day I met you.”
The past two years had been especially agonizing for him.
He now felt that he had finally gotten what he had been waiting for all this while.
“Thank you for waiting for me. I won’t make you wait anymore,” Sophie promised.
Tristan stopped in his tracks, pulled her into an embrace, and kissed her.
That’s right. I won’t have to wait any longer. She’ll be my wife and the mother of our child, and we’ll grow closer than before. We’ll never be apart again.
William didn’t have much to say about Tristan wanting to change the wedding date, although it was indeed a little troublesome to do so now.
“Come on, Dad,” Sarah urged. “If he wants to get married sooner, let him! You know how long he’s waited.” She knew how much her younger brother loved Sophie. He had been devoting himself fully to the woman he loved all this while. “Besides, the sooner he marries Sophie, the sooner you’ll get to have grandkids! Isn’t that what you’ve always wanted?” Why is he hesitating when his dream is about to come true?
With that, William nodded.
“All right, I understand. I’ll get the expert to pick another date. It’s not that I don’t want the wedding to happen sooner. I’m just worried we’d be in a rush if we were to have it right away.”
We haven’t even prepared anything. It’ll be the first Lombard wedding in a long time. It has to be nothing short of spectacular!
“Everything’s pretty much ready by now, Dad,” Tristan assured. Now was the perfect time, and there was nothing to be concerned about.
“Very well. I’ll call the expert now, but you’ll have to inform Sophie’s parents about the change of plans.”
This was the least they could do as a sign of respect.
Regardless of Sophie’s relationship with the Tanner family, this was still common courtesy.
