Changing only for her (Sophie and Tristan) novel Chapter 409

Chapter 409

“Don't rush it. Perhaps Mark said that out of impulse. Just talk to him again after a few days.”

“I don't think so. I think he's considered it for some time now.”

“Is it because you rejected him?” If that were the case, Tristan could understand Mark's decision.

"That can't be.”

That can't be the reason. Mark is not that kind of person.

“All right, I'll help you check out what's happening.” The matter could only be solved if they got down to the cause of it.

“Let me do it myself.”

Sophie's bond with the members of The Wheelers was way more profound than anyone thought. She wanted to handle the matter alone.

“Okay, I understand.” Tristan respected Sophie's wish for him to stay out of The Wheeler's matter. However, he didn't want to see her unhappy. “Do you want me to talk to Mark?”

The man felt this topic would be best left for the men to discuss.

“No. I don't want anyone else to find out about this yet. Don't worry. I can handle it myself.” Sophie only wanted Mark to follow his heart. She didn't care much about anything else.

"Okay.”

There was no sight of Mark in the following days. The Wheelers' workload had been reduced, so the members could finally rest well.

After the much-needed break, The Wheelers got back in action again. A few hours of sleep was all they needed because they were young. Their new album was wildly popular, and The Wheelers were slowly achieving their goal, much to Sunny's delight.

“Mark, we are in a great place now. I really hope it stays like this,” Sunny exclaimed excitedly as they had a barbeque on the top floor. “Too bad Sophie can't join us. How can we celebrate without her?”

“That's right. We had it hard in Sky Media, yet we didn't give up. Now, giving up is not an option.”

“Mark, what's on your mind? Why are you so quiet?” Sunny elbowed Mark when he noticed the latter was silent.

Mark knew he had to bring up that topic himself. However, he couldn't bear to let them down. After all, the members trusted him so much.

If I tell them about my decision now, what will they do? I can't imagine!

The members felt uneasy seeing their leader, the pillar of The Wheelers, behaving as such.

“Mark, do you have something on your mind? Are you in a bad mood? If you are, we can get Sophie to give us time off and we can go traveling."

“I'm leaving The Wheelers,” Mark declared. No matter how difficult he found it to say that, he knew he had to do it.

The room fell into silence. All that could be heard was each other's breathing.

Sunny dug his ear, then asked with a smile, “What did you just say, Mark? Can you say that again? I didn't hear you properly.”

“No. You've heard me, but I will repeat myself again. I want to leave The Wheelers. I'm not going to stay in the band and fool around with you guys anymore,” Mark uttered his words slowly.

“He's right. We should all calm down. We've been through so much together. Now that the circumstances have improved, I'm sure we can solve any problem together.”

Sunny's tears fell to everyone's surprise. The man had never cried, even during those days when Clayton had nearly beaten him to death. Yet, he could not stop his tears from falling now.

“I'm sorry. Sunny,” Mark said.

I'm the one quitting halfway. I'm the one who broke my promise.

Sunny shook his head, unwilling to continue the topic any longer. “Don't apologize to me. You didn't wrong me.”

Not wanting the others to see him cry, Sunny turned and returned to his room.

“Sunny...” The members couldn't help but call out, “Sunny,” when they saw his expression.

Sunny merely waved his hands dismissively in response. He wanted some time alone to calm himself down.

“What's going on? We all pulled through during the most challenging times. Why did things turn out this way when our career finally got on track?” The rest of the members were resentful of Mark's decision too.

Our dreams have just begun. Why did it end up like this?

There was nothing that Mark could say. Everything boiled down to him in the end.
