Chapter 493
“Ysabelle, how was the preparation for your album while I was gone?”
“I was busy taking care of Felix at the hospital, so there are still some outstanding issues. But don't you worry, Sophie, as I'm now fully focused with Felix out of the hospital.”
Fundamentally, there weren't any problems, and they were ready to start promoting it.
“Why don't we celebrate Ysabelle's new album with a bottle of red wine?” Sarah suggested.
“Sure!”
Ysabelle felt that it was a terrific idea.
“I'll go get it.”
“You gals have really made yourselves at home,” Tristan lamented.
These two ladies don't know their place at all! How dare they come here and take Sophie from me?
Ysabelle then gave Sophie a pitiful look.
“Sophie, ever since I have gotten to know you, I have fallen out of favor with Uncle Tristan.”
Sarah added, “Tristan, don't behave this way. It saddens us when you do that.”
“Instead of clinging onto Sophie, the two of you should find someone to fall in love with since you have nothing better to do.” Tristan didn't mince his words at all.
“We're not the kind to ignore Sophie even if we have found the love of our lives.” No man was able to come between their friendship.
It wasn't until it was eleven at night that Ysabelle and Sarah said a reluctant goodbye.
“Sophie, I'll get you help if you have trouble taking care of him all by yourself.” Sarah was concerned about Sophie overextending herself.
“It's fine. I can manage.”
All this while, she disliked having outsiders at home. The only reason she accepted the cook hired by Tristan previously was that she was sitting for the university entrance exam.
Now that she was essentially home all the time, a housekeeper wasn't necessary.
“All right then, I'll leave it to you. Feel free to call me if you need anything.” Given how demanding Tristan was about food, she was genuinely worried that Sophie would fail to cope.
“Sophie, don't push yourself, all right?” Ysabelle was equally concerned with Sophie looking increasingly haggard over the last few days.
"Okay.”
It wasn't until the two ladies were out of sight that Tristan was finally happy.
When he sat on the couch with no intention of going to bed, Sophie knitted her brows.
"Didn't I tell you that you need to be resting more?” In fact, I just told him to go upstairs.
“I'm fine. I'm not tired at all.”
Tristan felt his heart ache when he saw how drained she looked.
Am I being selfish? There wasn't a need for me to come here in the first place. I'm adding to her burden by doing so, as she has to tend to me.
“Sophie, I appreciate what you've done. You must be exhausted from the last few days.”
After settling down right beside him, she gently pinched his chin as she replied, “I'm fine. Your recovery is all that matters.”
“Mmm-hmm.”
My carelessness this time not only got me grievously wounded but also caused her to worry. Going forward, this will never happen again.
“In that case, you should go to bed now.”
"Okay.”
As The Wheelers were public figures, they didn't visit Tristan in the hospital despite learning of his injury.
Instead, they came over to Wisteria Apartments once they heard of his return.
