Changing only for her (Sophie and Tristan) novel Chapter 383

Chapter 383

Only after hearing that answer from Sophie was Tristan somewhat satisfied.

When they had finished eating breakfast, Sophie walked Tristan to the door.

“All right, go on to work. Don't worry. I'll be studying at home.’’ I'm sure nothing would happen.

Pinning his eyes on Ysabelle at the side, Tristan ordered, “Be good. If you misbehave, I'll send you home tonight.”

At once, Ysabelle frowned.

Why is he always targeting me? When had I ever misbehaved? He obviously has an ulterior motive! He just wants to be alone with Sophie, so he keeps finding fault with me.

“Uncle Tristan, I've always been good, okay?”

“All right, hurry up and go to work!”

“Okay. I'll take you both out for dinner when I come home tonight. Listen to me, and don't go out these few days.”

Ysabelle was entirely flabbergasted.

Is this the kind of so-called boyfriend who acts like a father? It's like he wants to have control over everything.

Ysabelle finally relaxed after her uncle left.

“Sophie, I think there's really a need for you to reconsider your choice. This boyfriend of yours isn't quite up to par!”

How could he control everything she does?

At that precise moment, Sophie's phone rang.

She took a look at it, only to see that it was a call from Eustace.

Her brows knitted together, but still, she answered the call.

“Sophie, I know you're sitting for the university entrance exam soon, and I shouldn't be troubling you at this time.”

“Just cut straight to the chase.” He has already phoned me, so isn't it superfluous for him to say such a thing now?

“Where are you right now? I'll come over and pick you up, for the problem is rather tricky.”

As the captain of the SWAT team, Eustace felt exceedingly embarrassed to seek help from a young girl again and again, but he couldn't do anything either when it involved a life-and-death situation.

“I'm at Wisteria Apartments right now. Just come over.” Sophie couldn't bring herself to turn him down.

After hanging up the phone, she went to change.

Ysabelle instantly followed her.

“Are you going out now? Didn't Uncle Tristan forbid you from doing so? What are you going to do? And can I tag along?”

There isn't much time anymore, so it doesn't make any difference even if I don't study. Going out to have fun is more important!

“Sorry, but I can't bring you along this time. Stay home and study instead.”

Ysabelle was thunderstruck, aggrievement flooding her.

“Why are you leaving me behind again? Sophie, why do you always have so many secrets?”

Aren't we best friends? Why does she have so many things I can't know about?

"Ysabelle, I really have something to do this time, and I truly can't bring you along.”

Although Ysabelle yearned to go with her, the former didn't dare say anything further as she took note of Sophie's solemn expression.

“Okay, then. Be careful going out alone. Be safe, okay? Also, you must come home before Uncle Tristan returns.”

“Okay, I will.” Sophie didn't want Tristan to worry either.

After changing, she went downstairs to wait for Eustace.

As expected, no sooner had she gone downstairs and reached the entrance than Eustace arrived.

Swinging open the car door, Sophie got into the vehicle.

“The situation is extremely urgent, so I had no choice but to come here and seek your help. I'm really sorry for always troubling you.”

“It's okay. Just cut straight to the point.”

Still, the man in military uniform continued tearing into Eustace, unwilling to listen to reason.

Since he's an officer of the law, he has to abide by the rules and regulations.

"Sophie is incredible, Captain Zeldon. She'll surely be able to help us!” Danny couldn't help chiming in.

He doesn't know anything, so he should be worried about being proven wrong later when he's saying such things.

However, the man, Zachary Zeldon, merely snorted.

“How could you, a snot-nosed biondie, be any better? And what's wrong with your team? I thought you guys have always thought of yourself as amazing. Yet, you're now pinning your hopes on a little girl?”

Eustace was wholly speechless.

“Just ignore him, Sophie.” He proceeded to lead Sophie over.

“What's the meaning of this, Eustace? I'm talking to you!” Zachary barked, not showing any intention of letting the matter slide.

Indeed, our workload has been too heavy recently. But even so, we can't pin our hopes on a little girl!

"Can you please shut up? You're really noisy.” Sophie loathed listening to him prattling incessantly, for she found it all too annoying.

In a flash, mortification swamped Zachary when he was chastised by a young girl, and in front of so many people to boot.

Meanwhile, the members of Eustace's team inexorably burst out laughing.

“What's the meaning of this, Eustace? Do you want to fight me?”

When have I, Eustace Sheppard, been afraid?

“If you want to fight, I'll naturally humor you. But let me warn you that you're totally wasting time now.” Every minute counts at present, yet he's still delaying things here. How immature!

“How dare you!” Zachary was livid. “I don't believe that a little girl like her can resolve the problem so many people have tried and failed to unravel!”
