Pursuing Her Chapter 273

Chapter 273 Who Is He “Ms. Sophie, will you be attending tomorrow night's annual party?” They

knew Sophie had a busy schedule, so they had been afraid to tell her about it since they had no idea

if she would be attending it. “Tomorrow night?” “Yeah, tomorrow night. Everyone had been busy

and working hard for the whole year. We'll be performing a little at the annual party tomorrow. You

don't have to come if you're tied up. I'll make sure the event goes smoothly.” “I see!” I'm aware of

tomorrow's annual party, but will everyone be able to enjoy themselves with me there? “You have to

come, Ms. Sophie. To be honest, we're all hoping you would,” Wendy said after gathering her

courage. They knew Sophie only seemed cold on the outside, but she was actually a really nice

person.

Nonetheless, sometimes they still need to gather their courage to talk to her. “All right, send me the

address, and I'll go tomorrow night.” I should attend since it's a company event. “Really?” Wendy's

heart leaped with joy. Sophie's lips curved into a smile after seeing their excitement. Her smile

stayed on her lips until she got into Tristan’s car. “You seem very happy being with them.” Wilma is

pretty good at what she does. The team she leads is also united. “In truth, even if they're all already

in their twenties, they're still very innocent. Their happiness is so simple.” Personally, I like a simple

life. Tristan made a U-turn and said, “You're making it seem as though your life has a lot of

complications.” Isn't she the youngest? Why does she overthink so much? “Well, it's not overly

complicated but not excessively simple either.” “All you have to do is stay happy and lead a simple

life when you're by my side. Leave the rest to me.” “Thank you.” I know he means what he says.

Tristan pulled into the Tanner residence’s driveway. They found Caleb and Willow watching

television on the couch the minute they entered the living room. It was Caleb's first meeting with

Tristan. This man gives out a pressuring aura. Despite seeing Caleb and Willow sitting there, Sophie

didn't introduce Tristan to either of them. She led Tristan up the stairs, straight to Josiah’s room.

"Who is the guy with Sophie? He doesn't look like an average person.” Some people carry

themselves like nobility. That's how that man carries himself. Jealousy gripped Willow at the

mention of Tristan. “Tristan Lombard.” Willow didn't want to elaborate further since it would only

serve as a reminder of her failure and Sophie's success. Naturally, she didn’t want to talk much

about it. “Who is he exactly?” Despite spending most of his time at a research institute overseas,

Caleb had still heard of the infamous Mr. Tristan during his time there. However, he couldn't believe

that Tristan would end up with Sophie. “Caleb, I suspect Sophie had drugged Mr. Tristan. How else

would a man like him fall for a girl like her?”

Honestly, I don't believe it. “So, he's truly Mr. Tristan.” Even my tutors overseas knew not to mess

with Mr. Tristan of Jipsdale. Would Sophie slander Father for the Tanner family’s assets? It's meager

compared to Tristan’'s wealth. “Yeah, Sophie is really lucky. She can hook up with a man everywhere

she goes. She's a born vixen, that girl.” Willow had never considered herself lesser than Sophie.

However, everyone around her was starting to treat her worse and Sophie better. That difference in

treatment was fueling her resentment toward Sophie. Caleb didn’t know how to comfort her. Willow

has always been the good and obedient one. Yet Grandpa's favorite has always been Sophie. That's

an undeniable fact. I noticed Mother's attitude toward Willow has also changed. She isn't as close to

Willow anymore. “Caleb, are you listening to me? Are you on Sophie's side too?" Irritation filled

Willow at Caleb's attitude. “Willow, Soph is your sister no matter what. You shouldn't talk about her

that way.” So he’s also on her side? It looks like I'm all on my own in this house. “I'll talk to Sophie

about Dad's matter when I'm free. Don't worry about it.” Caleb didn’t know what to do with the

current Sophie. He didn't have a single clue about how to deal with the situation. Sophie and Tristan

came down the stairs with Josiah behind them. Seeing Josiah leaving with them, Caleb went up to

him. “Are you going out in such cold weather, Grandpa? It's almost dinner time too. Mom already

made dinner.”

“What? Only you guys can go out, and I can't? I want to have dinner outside today. What can you

do about it? Do you have a problem with that?” Josiah was still mad about Willow and Caleb leaving

the house without informing him earlier. Caleb brushed his nose with his finger, knowing he was in

the wrong. “We didn’t mean anything by it, Grandpa. We hadn't seen Dad in a while and just wanted

to visit him. Don't overthink things. We're a family. Why can't we discuss our problems nicely?”

Josiah snorted and didn't answer Caleb's question. “Let's go. Aren’t we going out for dinner?”

Sophie drew closer to Josiah at his question. “Do you need me to go with you, Old Mr. Tanner?” The

weather outside doesn’t seem great. Nevertheless, I think it's great that he’s going out for some

fresh air to improve his mood. “That's fine. You must have been tired of taking care of me every day

for the past few days. Have a good rest tonight.” Josiah considered Morgan as a family member or

close friend of his. “I don't feel tired taking care of you, Old Mr. Tanner.” I'm all alone now in this

world. I would probably be living a lonely life if it wasn't for Old Mr. Tanner's sentimentality. I'll

remember his kindness for the rest of my life and promise to take good care of him no matter the

cost. “Why don't you come with us if you have nothing going on, Morgan?” The more, the merrier.

Moreover, Grandpa will have someone to talk to with Morgan by his side. Josiah was happy with

Sophie's invitation. Sophie had always been respectful of the household staff. More importantly,

Josiah had never treated Morgan as a mere employee.

They were like a family that had fought on a battlefield together. “I can go too?” Morgan looked at

Sophie with anticipation. “Sure you can.” They left the Tanner residence as a quartet. “Isn't she good

at playing the nice guy? Did you see that, Caleb? Sophie excels at playing mind games. She knew

Grandpa cared for Morgan the most. That was why she invited him to dinner too. Have you ever

seen her invite any of the other household staff before?” “Willow, Morgan is someone important to

Grandpa. Grandpa has never treated him like a member of the household staff. Don't think like that.

Grandpa won't be happy if he hears you talking about Morgan like that.”
