Changing only for her (Sophie and Tristan) novel Chapter 173

Chapter 173 Tristan Has Not Tasted The Holy Grail

“Tell Tanny that if he’s bogged down by work, he doesn’t have to come, as I’m almost fully recovered.” There’s no need for him to be at two places at the same time.

“I will. You should focus on resting and not worry about such matters.” No sooner had Sophie finished than the door opened with Morgan and Tristan walking in.

One could tell from the tailor-made suit he was wearing that he had come from the office.

Tristan looked so dashing in his outfit that it was hard for anyone to peel their eyes away.

“Mr. Tristan, please have a seat. I’ll take care of these.” Morgan took over the dinner that Tristan had brought with him.

“Why did you come? Aren’t you supposed to be busy?”

“I have to be here regardless of how busy I am. Besides, it’s not anything that’s particularly important. So, Old Mr. Tanner, how do you feel today?” Tristan asked with concern.

“Tanny, I’m almost fully recovered and will be discharged in a few days. There’s no need to trouble yourself traveling back and forth.” Both of them were exhausted, fussing over Josiah’s affairs. “You too, Soph. It’s about time you go back to school. Your exams kick off on Monday.”

At the end of the day, she was still a student who should be prioritizing her studies.

Furthermore, the one-month deadline was almost upon her. Can I really take on the role of acting CEO of Tanner Group? Those were the issues that were constantly on her mind.

“Mm-hmm. I know. I’ll be punctual for my exams on Monday.” No matter what, she resolved to participate in the physics competition that was going to be held after the holidays.

“My point is for you to go to school tomorrow. Even though you have a good grasp of your lessons, the revisions for the term exam are still very important. As my granddaughter, you always have to take everything you do seriously. Do you understand?”

To him, the result was secondary. What mattered was that she would always do her best.

Sophie fell silent.

“What’s wrong? Aren’t you going to listen to me? Have dinner with me now, and get Tanny to send you back home to rest so that you can attend school tomorrow.”

“All right. In that case, promise me that you’ll obey whatever Arius says in the hospital.”

Sophie’s mind was put at ease after placing him under Arius’ care. Coincidentally, he had yet to return to Anglandur.

“Fine. I promise.”

Once they were done with dinner, Tristan drove Sophie back to Wisteria Apartments.

“Rest early.” Tristan had to leave as he had other engagements.

“Mr. Tristan, about Clayton, do you need me—”

“It’s fine. I can handle him.” Tristan reassured her, “Everything is under control.”

Clayton is no more than an insect who doesn’t even deserve my attention.

“Anyway, I’m heading back out.”

“Mm-hmm. Go ahead.” When Sophie walked to the door to see him out, she gave him a curious look when he hesitated to leave.

What is he waiting for?

“Mr. Tristan, is there anything else?”

Reaching out his hand, Tristan pulled her into his arms before giving her a kiss on her forehead.

“What am I to do? At the sight of you, I no longer want to leave. Instead, I feel the urge to stay by your side.”

Sophie was rendered speechless.

How is this my fault? I didn’t even do anything!

“Mr. Tristan!” Sophie gently pushed him away before staggering back. “Go!”
