Pursuing Her Chapter 206

Chapter 206 Her Heart MeltsWithout uttering a single word, Willow stared at her mother with a

stubborn look."You've rarely been ill-treated since you were a child. Sophie did go a little overboard

today,” Charmaine comforted.It broke her heart to see Willow fall sick and lost her voice after

staying in the bathroom for the entire night."You should eat something before sleeping. I've already

called the doctor, so just stay at home for these couple of days."Josiah was already pretty unhappy

with Willow when she didn't attend the final exam. If she went out of the house under the current

circumstances, it would only piss the old man off even more. Willow nodded. That was the only

thing she could do for the moment. Once I recover, I will start anew. I refuse to believe that I can't

beat Sophie!lt wasn't until Charmaine saw her daughter eating breakfast that she headed

downstairs. When she saw that Sophie was about to leave with her bag, she called her out.Hearing

her mother’s voice, Sophie stopped and glanced at the woman. What does she want? Is she trying

to stand up for Willow? It would make sense since both of them had been on the same side.”Soph

—" There were a lot of things Charmaine wanted to say, but the moment her eyes met her

daughter's cold gaze, she swallowed all her words.That was how her daughter was like.Logically, she

should've been the closest to her youngest daughter, yet Sophie always looked at her with that cold

gaze, making it difficult for her to love her daughter.”Soph, you see, your sister simply lost her

rationality for a moment there! Please don't take it to heart, okay? She got terribly sick after staying

in that cold, damp bathroom all night! That's enough of a punishment, don't you think? Please just

let her go!” Knowing that Sophie had always been a ruthless person, Charmaine couldn't help but

worry for Willow.

Sophie raised her eyebrow. “Don’t worry. Since Grandpa said that the chapter is closed, I'll stick to

that!"That was a promise she was still willing to fulfil.Even though we're mother and daughter,

we've reached a point where there's nothing much for us to talk about anymore. With no other

choice, Charmaine said, “All right. Go and do your things then.”It was the only way she could think

of to hide the awkwardness hanging in the air.Sophie didn’t pay attention to her mother's attitude

and left the Tanner residence.Upon watching that scene, a housekeeper couldn't help but say, “Ms.

Sophie is crossing the line here. No matter what, you're still her mother! How can she treat you with

an attitude like that?"She just couldn't watch it any longer. “In the end, Ms. Willow is still better.

Daughters should act more like her. Even after Ms. Sophie becomes successful, she still won't treat

you well, Mrs. Tanner. That's not just my opinion. That's a fact. In the end, Ms. Willow will be the one

who'll take good care of you!"Hearing that assessment, Charmaine agreed in her mind. Yeah! So

what if Sophie is capable? We're not on the same side. Even if she becomes successful in the future,

she won't care much about me and my interest!“Take good care of Ms. Willow and let the doctor

check up on her later! I heard there's a really good scar removal medicine in Anglandur, so I'll ask

people to find it!” She wasn't willing to let Willow's hand stay ruined and would do her best to get

the best scar removal medicine.”All right, Mrs. Tanner. I'll check and see if the doctor has arrived!”

The housekeeper preferred Willow. At that point, she treated Willow as her own daughter, which

was why she cared greatly about Willow's matters.

When Sophie exited the Tanner residence, Tristan was already waiting outside. Even on a snowy day,

his silver car was still dazzling.She approached the vehicle, opened the door, and fastened her

seatbelt after going in. It was then she noticed he had been staring at her."What are you looking at?

Is there something on my face?” she asked. Even if there is, he shouldn't be staring at me like this! I

can feel my cheeks getting hotter...”It's nothing. I'm just feeling very grateful that the world has

blessed me with a woman that I really like,” Tristan flirted.That rendered her speechless. Where did

he learn such a corny line? I'm really surprised.“All right, let's go!” Sophie requested. It's about time

for me to head to Transfix Cosmetics! These few days will be our final sprint to the finish line.Staring

at her reddened ears, he couldn't help but chuckle.The line he used was something he came across

when he was scrolling his phone earlier. There was no way he could've said something like that in

the past. For some reason, he wanted to try it in the morning, so he did.

To his surprise, it gave him an opportunity to see Sophie's ears getting red.Throughout the ride,

Tristan was in an extremely good mood until he reached Transfix Cosmetics. It was then he felt

slightly sullen because he wished they could've stayed together a little longer. However, it couldn't

be helped because even Lombard Group would get very busy at the end of the year. Otherwise, he

would've insisted they stayed together longer.”I'll be leaving now!” In the end, Sophie spoke up

when she saw the longing look on his face. They were both busy people, after all, so they couldn't

stay together all the time.”Don’t you want to go to Lombard Group with me, Sophie?"“No!” she

rejected. Why would I want to go to Lombard Group? I have things to do! Tanner Group may not be

comparable to Lombard group right now, but that'll change in the future.”Alright then!” Tristan was

at a loss for words. Why did I ask her that question? I'm just humiliating myself! “In any case, don't

wear yourself down too much since your holidays have just started. Remember to call me if you

have time!” It made his heart ache to see her, a senior who had yet to graduate, taking care of so

many complicated things.”Okay. I'll be going up now!” Sophie was going to be late if she dragged

on."Mhm, go ahead! I'll watch you go up from here.” He still didn’t want to leave.”Come on, Mr.

Tristan. Stop acting this way or I'll feel burdened!” As she spoke, she couldn't help but smile

faintly. That faint smile was enough for him to do anything she wanted.“Come over here!” Tristan

gestured for her to come closer with his finger.It was as if she was guided by something, she

actually listened to him and stood in front of him. He hugged her waist and kissed her on the

forehead. “If you come across anything that you can't handle, you must remember that you always

have my support, okay? I'll always be here waiting for you twenty-four-seven no matter what

happens.” It's not like Transfix Cosmetics is a hell where no mortals ever return after stepping in

there, Mr. Tristan. Please don't exaggerate. Anyway, I really need to go now! Time's ticking!""Mhm!"

Tristan finally let go of Sophie's waist, which was pleasant to the touch.It felt so nice that he didn't

want to let her go.When she turned around, she saw Wilma leading a couple of hotties from Transfix

Cosmetics. They all greeted her when they saw her turning around."You're here, Ms. Sophie!” Wilma

spoke with a smile.Indeed, they were standing there watching the romantic scene unfold earlier.

Hence, when they were noticed by Sophie, they felt slightly awkward.”Mr. Tristan is so handsome,

Ms. Sophie! Staring at him makes me feel like my heart is melting!"“Ms. Sophie is good-looking too,

okay? The two of them look like they are the main characters from a tv show!"“Even the main

characters in those shows are incomparable to Ms. Sophie in terms of appearance! Our Ms. Sophie

is so beautiful that she’s probably better looking than everyone in the entertainment industry!”
