Changing only for her (Sophie and Tristan) novel Chapter 373

Chapter 373

“I wasn't frightened. If your mercenaries didn't scare me last time, I certainly wouldn't have been affected by a car crash. I'm a brave woman, don't you know? There's no need for you to fuss about me. I'm not that fragile,” Sophie assured.

“All right, then. You sure are amazing. Still, why aren't you asleep yet? Is something on your mind?” Tristan wondered.

“It's nothing.”

"Really?”

"What's the matter? Don't you believe me?”

“Why wouldn't I believe you? I trust every word that comes out of your mouth.”

Sophie turned around and lay in his embrace. “If one day you're injured because of me, I won't be able to help but blame myself for it. I don't want to see you harmed.”

Pressing his chin on her head, Tristan replied, “What are you thinking? Why would I be injured because of you? Your existence alone brings me joy. So, no matter what happens, I only ask that you stay by my side. Don't think that whatever you do will make me happy.”

She had no idea what message he was trying to convey, but that was his sincere thoughts.

Even if it cost him his life, he still wouldn't hesitate to stand by her side.

“Tristan—■” Sophie was touched. How did he soften my heart to this degree? How can he? It's because of him that I'm no longer the carefree person I used to be. I just want to protect myself and stay by his side forever. That's why I want to formulate better solutions to these abrupt problems instead of charging headlong into the issue.

“It's late. You should rest.” After carrying her to the bed, Tristan covered her with the blanket and lay beside her. “I'll keep you company until you're asleep.”

“Mhm.” Lying on his arm, she adjusted her posture until she found the most comfortable spot and closed her eyes. I want to stay with him until death does us part.

It was the first time such a thought crossed her mind.

She looks so adorable like this. He watched over her until she fell asleep before getting up from the bed.

Then he leaned down and gave her a goodnight kiss. “Sleep well, my darling. No matter what happens, I'll be by your side forever.”

That was a promise he intended to keep.

The next day, when Sophie woke up, it was already nine in the morning.

She washed up and changed into the clothing the housekeepers had brought her before leaving her room.

When Micah saw her, a warm smile appeared on his face. “You're awake, Ms. Tanner. Breakfast's ready. Would you like to eat it now or later?”

“Later. Where's Tristan?” Sophie wondered if he had already left while she was still asleep.

“Mr. Tristan and Mr. Northley should be at the company now. He instructed us to let you rest as long as you needed, which was why we didn't disturb you. Did you have a good sleep?”

“I did. Thanks for asking.”

“Are you going to have breakfast now? Young people should have breakfast, you know. It's good for you.”
