Pursuing Her Chapter 179

Chapter 178 Scooting Away

The few burly men stared at Sophie in horror.We're now bruised and battered, yet she wants to go

again? Who exactly is she? She's just too terrifying!“Shall we have another go?” Sophie inquired

once more. She had been too tired these days, so she was a tad drowsy then. Yawning nonchalantly,

she swept a gaze over the few men."We're sorry for intruding on you, Ms. Tanner! Please have mercy

on us!” Oh my God, she's really frightening!They had a reputation in the underworld, but when it

came to her, they weren't even enough for her to work up a sweat.“Why are you still here, then?

Scoot! Do you know how to do that?"*What?"This is too much! Is she really asking us to scoot?Some

were still hesitating when they saw that Scarface had already started scooting

away."Scarface!” What? He's actually doing as she said? "Where are your principles? Is this really

appropriate?”Scarface glanced over his shoulder at the man."You've got principles, yes? Then, you

stay there! Why are you butting into my business?”Hah! I know I can never defeat Ms. Tanner!He

was really scooting by dragging himself along the ground.After all, one had to be quick-witted and

adapt to the situation. Since Scarface wasn't Sophie's match, he decided to admit defeat. Besides,

her blows hurt like hell!“I—" The fierce-looking man who spoke promptly went silent.Okay, then. I

used to feel that I was pretty incredible in the past, but things are different now. The Dixon family

isn't the same anymore either. Fine, I'll scoot!Gratification finally flooded Sophie as she watched the

few burly men scooting away on the curb.Meanwhile, Bailey was wholly stunned at the side. He had

never seen that side of her.Yet, such a side of her rendered her all the more alluring.Turning back,

Sophie instinctively touched her face when she saw him looking at her so intently.Is there

something on my face that he’s staring at me fixedly?“Is there something on my face?” she asked

when he was still staring after a long time had passed. There should be nothing on my face,

yes?”No, there's nothing. I merely feel that you're seemingly shining brightly right now.” At long

last, Bailey understood why so many people liked her. Verily, she was too mesmerizing.Sophie went

silent.She really didn't know what to say in response to that comment.The moment she turned

around, she was greeted by the sight of Tristan.It was uncertain how long he had been standing

there. Without uttering a word, Sophie went over to him and queried, “Why didn't you tell me that

you were coming over?"“I missed you, so I came over.”At once, words eluded Sophie. When it came

to the man, she still couldn't be as calm and unruffled as she was with others.Hence, she inexorably

flushed bright red upon hearing that.”Mr. Tristan...” Gah! Can he not say something like that? And

why must he look so seductive in everything he does?"What's wrong? I just missed you.”"Okay, I got

it."Sophie’s face flamed.She whirled around and said to Bailey, “If there's nothing else, I'll be

leaving.”“Sophie.” Bailey wasn't willing to admit defeat, but he noticed that the look in her eyes

when she gazed at Tristan was different.Sophie arched an eyebrow.”Is something else the matter?“In

the end, Bailey shook his head.”l won't allow them to disrupt your life again.” No matter what, this

matter shall end here.”It doesn’t matter to me."After saying that, Sophie left with Tristan.Bailey

stared at their backs. The man was tall and handsome, giving off a sense of intense dependability.

The girl, on the other hand, was cold in nature, but she exuded a sense of warmth before the

man.So, she... likes him? Nothing I say or do will make any difference.”Whitlea came to bother you

again.” It looks like she’s been too free recently. I can keep her occupied.”Yeah. You know the kind of

person she is. Once something doesn't progress according to her plan, she'll definitely make

trouble.” Frankly speaking, Sophie really didn't have anything good to say about Whitlea."Well, be

careful about Clayton these days. Whitlea isn't much of a threat, but Clayton is truly irritating.”“ Okay,

I got it. You don't need to worry about me.”Sophie knew that Clayton wasn't a good man, and she

might be the reason he was hooking up with Willow.Alas, Willow was exceedingly confident, so she

wouldn't believe whatever Sophie said.The two of them went back to Wisteria Apartments together.

Sophie went for a bath while Tristan took out his laptop and settled Lombard Group's business

matters.When Sophie came out after her bath, she saw the man answering his emails while reclining

against the couch. He was incredibly focused, so much so that she couldn't take her eyes off

him. He's too perfect!”It's very late. Are you going home?” She really didn't mean anything else

when she said that. She was merely asking an innocent question.From the look in his eyes, however,

she knew that he had obviously misunderstood her.”l didn't mean anything else. Just carry

on."Forget it. He's a man overflowing with testosterone in the first place, so he'll give others such an

illusion even if he does nothing at all.Taking her hand, Tristan pulled her into his arms.”What's

wrong? Is it very tricky?” It was the first time Sophie had ever seen him toiling at something.”It's still

manageable.” But it's just rather troublesome. Truth be told, it wasn't that easy to eliminate Clayton,

as the foundations of the organizations in Jipsdale were deep-rooted and their networks were

intricate. In fact, it was extremely challenging.Seeing that he was seemingly exhausted, Sophie

reached out and gently massaged his temples.“This feels good!” Tristan couldn't help sighing. He lay

down and rested his head on her long and slender legs, allowing her to massage him.Closing his

eyes, he luxuriated in her tenderness at that moment.Without realizing it, he drifted off to sleep.As

Sophie gazed at the man who had fallen asleep on her lap, a sense of unprecedented peace

suffused her. Such a feeling made her feel reluctant to lose it.She was aware that it was very late

then, so she should wake him up and have him go home. Then, she could also go to bed.However,

she couldn't bring herself to do so at the sight of his peaceful expression. Instead, she wanted to

wallow in such warmth and never wake up.When Tristan woke up after sleeping for a little over half

an hour, he saw Sophie dozing with her back against the couch. Her hands were still resting against

his temples.At that particular moment, he could no longer hold back. He propped up his upper

body and captured the rosy lips he had been pining after.As soon as Sophie opened her eyes, she

was greeted by the man’s enthralling countenance. His kiss was addictive, so she reflexively

responded to him.Sensing her response, Tristan kissed her even more feverishly. Flipping over, he

pinned her beneath him and kissed her passionately.His kiss was so intense that Sophie couldn“t

quite withstand it. Despite that, she had no intention of stopping him and allowed him to kiss her as

he pleased.
