Changing only for her (Sophie and Tristan) novel Chapter 422

Chapter 422

“That's enough. Let's go. Nobody can bully me,” Sophie said. Besides, it's just Willow. What can she do to me?

“All right. Let's go!”

Tristan wrapped an arm around Sophie's shoulders and opened the car door to let her get inside first.

Then, he turned around and declared in a stern voice, “This is a warning. Nobody here has the right to criticize my woman!” Tristan would not stand for people trying to hurt his girl.

Willow fumed with indignance when she heard him.

Unlike Tristan, Clayton had never sided with her like that.

Besides, Tristan would never believe anything others said about Sophie. It was virtually impossible to sow discord between them.

Tristan only got into the car after making his statement.

If not for the fact they were Sophie's mother and sister, he would have lashed out long ago.

“Why are you so angry? I'm not even that mad at them. Don't get all worked up because of those people. It's not worth it,” Sophie said after Tristan entered the car.

“It's not that. I just don't want them to hurt you. Why don't we also get engaged?” If keeping their relationship in the dark would put her through all this, Tristan would rather they make it public for everyone to know.

Sophie shook her head right away.

“Forget about it. Classes are starting soon. We'll talk about this after I graduate from university.” Sophie knew she would be the talk of the town, garnering unwanted attention and trouble if she went to the university as Tristan Lombard's fiancee.

Even though she could not care less about what others thought of her, she loathed dealing with unsolicited troubles.

“Well, everyone thinks that I'm the one who's refusing to acknowledge our relationship when it's you refusing to make it official,” Tristan grumbled.

I'm more than willing to acknowledge our relationship.

Knowing making it official would spell trouble for them both, Sophie was in a bind.

“That's not what I meant. I just don't want to get you into trouble,” Sophie mumbled.

Tristan relented and said, “Okay. We'll talk about this after you graduate from university.” After all, they'd have to wait until after her graduation anyway.

“Thank you for being so considerate.” Sophie took his hand in hers, grateful that he was willing to respect her wishes.

Sophie vowed she would not forsake his unconditional love.

Meanwhile, Charmaine led Willow into the house.

“Willa, you'd better apologize to your grandpa. At the end of the day, he is still your grandfather. It's really not wise to sour your relationship like this,” Charmaine said, trying to talk sense into her daughter.

“Why do I have to apologize? I don't think I've done anything wrong. Since he only has eyes for Sophie, what does anything I do have got to do with him?” Willow replied stubbornly.

After all, she was Clayton's fiancee now.

There was no need for her to take all this crap anymore.

“Then please don't stir trouble for Sophie again. Please, you have enough to worry about as it is,” Charmaine pleaded.

“Mom, why are all of you siding with her? Why don't you guys ever consider how I feel?” Willow rebuked.

Charmaine furrowed her brows.

“Willa, I am on your side and always have been. How heartless of you to say that.”

Willow let out a derisive snort.

“Forget it. I'm tired, so I'm going upstairs to take a rest. I've got a date with Clayton later!” Willow uttered in a huff, disregarding everything that her mother just said.

She truly thought that she had married into a wealthy family.

In the evening, Tristan brought Sophie to Nocturnal to have drinks with their group of friends. Even though Ysabelle was all tuckered out from work at TS Entertainment, she still joined them.

“Soph, what's up with Clayton? Does he really have feelings for Willow?” Ysabelle asked in an incredulous tone, still unable to believe it. “Why do I somehow feel like he's got some hidden agenda? Willow must be really dumb to not suspect anything,” she continued.

“Ysabelle, I've got to say that you've become smarter after spending time with Sophie,” Felix teased.
