Changing only for her (Sophie and Tristan) novel Chapter 98

Chapter 98 Mason Is Mine

On Sunday, the Laird family and the Tanner family were meeting at Pegasus Pavilion. Yale had already brought his family there early in the morning. Josiah wasn’t feeling well that day, so he stayed at home.

Seeing that the Laird family wasn’t there yet, Yale reminded, “Willa, take full advantage of this opportunity, okay? With the Laird family’s support, we will surely gain control of Tanner Group.” Considering how well Transfix Cosmetics was doing, Yale was really worried that he could lose everything.

“I know, Dad.”

“Let’s go! The Laird family should be here soon. Let’s go out and welcome them.” Yale had always been trying to get on the Lairds’ good side.

Upon hearing that, Charmaine and Willow followed him out.

The moment they got out, Mason and Constance arrived.

Yale immediately went to welcome Constance when he saw her.

When Constance saw them waiting outside, she couldn’t help but say, “What are you guys doing outside? Since you guys have arrived first, just wait for us inside.”

“We got bored, so we came out to see if you guys have arrived! Mason is looking even more dashing now,” Yale praised, buttering Mason up.

Mason kept a straight face and behaved coldly.

In fact, that was how he had always treated the Tanner family.

“Mason, why are you not greeting Mr. Tanner? What’s wrong with you?” Constance wasn’t happy with Mason’s attitude.

“Where’s Sophie? Is she not here?” When Mason decided to speak, the first person he asked about was Sophie.

All of a sudden, it felt as if the surrounding air had turned colder.

Even Yale had no idea how to respond to that question.

“I thought I heard Sophie is back? What’s going on? Is she not a part of the Tanner family?” Mason queried.

“Mason, you’re aware of Soph’s temper, right? We asked her to join us, but she didn’t want to.” Despite how upsetting it was for Willow, she didn’t dare to express her feelings in front of Mason.

“Oh, I see!” Mason stopped pursuing that subject and walked right in.

Upon seeing that, the others breathed a sigh of relief.

“Willa, don’t mind him, okay? That’s just how he is. I like you the most,” Constance uttered.

Willow smiled and answered, “Mrs. Laird, I didn’t take it to heart. That’s just how Mason is. He’s so nice to everyone.”

Constance was satisfied with Willow’s magnanimity. That’s how the future lady of the house should behave.

Mason was cold and distant throughout the meal, and it seemed that he wasn’t interested in anything at all.

However, he couldn’t help but furrow his brows when he heard Constance and Willow’s parents talking about the engagement.

Finally, he responded, “Engagement?”

“Yes! Aren’t you and Willa a couple? Now that you’re back, you guys should get engaged!”

Willow stared at Mason nervously.

Did he recall something? Otherwise, why would he be treating me coldly?

“Mrs. Laird, perhaps we should take things slowly. If Mason doesn’t want to get engaged, it’s all right,” Willow said.

“What are you on about, Willa? Mason and you are definitely getting engaged!” Yale immediately stopped Willow from saying anything further.

“But—”

“No buts! I’ll get someone to set the date. I’m definitely having you as my daughter-in-law,” Constance voiced assertively.

Mason merely scoffed in response and said nothing.

Hearing that, Willow felt relieved.

However, she couldn’t understand Mason. Why does he look like he doesn’t want to get engaged to me?

After the meal, both the families got out of the private room and bumped into Sophie on the way out.
