Chapter 467
Tristan made his way toward the pair.
"Did you enjoy your stay at the resort, Old Mr. Tanner? Why didn't you stay a little longer?" Tristan greeted Josiah as he walked toward them.
“There's much to do at home. I can't just be away for so long.”
Josiah was a man who had one foot in his grave.
However, he did not feel comfortable letting Sopliie do all the heavy lifting.
“Don't worry. Old Mr. Tanner. Both Sophie and I are around. Nothing's going to happen," said Tristan reassuringly. Nobody was going to mistreat Sophie in his presence.
"Soph, the driver will take me back. I know you're busy, so I should let you get back to work. You needn't worry about me!” Since Josiah had a driver, there was nothing to be concerned about.
"Let me take you home instead!”
Even though there was a driver, Sophie still did not feel at ease.
"Do I look like a child to you? Just take it easy! Tell you what. I'll give you a call when I get home. How does that sound?” Knowing that Sophie was concerned about his safety, Josiah felt warmth bloom in his heart.
"Old Mr. Tanner, I think we should send you home,” said Tristan.
It would not take a long time anyway.
“Very well, then!”
Josiah sighed, shaking his head good-naturedly. They are such filial, dutiful kids.
I'm not gomg to waste any more time, then.
Tristan and Sophie sent Josiah home together. After relaying the necessary instructions to Morgan. Sophie and Tristan left the Tanner residence.
The roar of the car engine told Josiah that Sophie and Tristan had finally set off.
"Morgan, be frank with me. Do you think I've been taking advantage of Sophie?” asked Josiah unwittingly. "If not for me. Sophie would have been far away by now. She doesn't really need to worry about this stuff at home."
Josiah knew, deep down, that he was holding Sophie back.
"Old Mr. Tanner, Ms. Tanner is a good person. I think she just wishes for you to be at peace,” replied Morgan. "Don't think too much about it.”
As he glanced out the window, Josiah shook his head.
"She's had it rough, being born to a family like this.”
When he was away, Sophie had been forced to leave the house at a young age.
Josiah reckoned that she did not really feel strongly toward this family, to begin with.
If not for him, Sophie had no reason to stick around at all.
"Honestly, I do hope she's happy. That's all I want.” Josiah was worried that the Tarnier family served as a burden to Sophie and was keeping her from living her own life.
"Old Mr. Tanner. I think you're overthinking this. Ms. Tanner is a strong, capable person. Besides, she now has a partner like Mr.
Tristan! Look how wonderfully he treats her! I firmly believe that Ms. Tanner will be happy.”
Is there a reason for Ms. Tanner to be unhappy with a man like Mr. Tristan pampering her thus?
"It's hard to say. After all, Sophie is still young. We don't know what the future holds.”
"Old Mr. Tanner, it's not like you've not noticed the way Ms. Tanner looks at Mr. Tristan! She may be introverted, but we can clearly see the adoration she has for Mr. Tristan!”
“Let's just hope so!”
Josiah was constantly like this, worrying about whether or not Sopliie was going to be okay.
“I do think that the more worrisome one is Ms. Willow. This situation has hit her pretty hard. She's always wanted to marry into a wealthy family, but I fear this will be difficult.”
“It's lofty ambitions and wishfid thinking on her part. There's nothing much we can do.”
The old man sighed.
This was something Willow had to sort out on her own. Nobody else could do this for her.
After leavmg the Tarnier residence. Sophie decided to have a short nap. When she opened her eyes, however, she soon realized that they'd arrived at Lombard Group.
"Why did you bring me here?” asked Sophie, confused.
"Something came up that needs my attention. Why don't you stick around and keep me company?" It would be a waste of time if Tristan sent her back now.
"Okay!”
