Chapter 293 Going To See My Girlfriend âWhatever it is, please go out first. I'm on the phone right
now," Tristan replied with an irritated tone. âOn the phone? With who? Your girlfriend?â Otherwise,
why wouldn't he want me to know? âJust go out first.â When he saw the fuming look on his son's
face, William had no choice but to leave. It wasn't until he was certain William was gone that Tristan
picked up his phone again. âWas that your dad? Mr. Tristan, I donât hold a grudge against Winter, so
you don't have to do this for me.â Sophie had overheard his conversation with William.
Tristan frowned at her words. âYou don't have to bother with this matter. Besides, I've already shown
her mercy on Charlesâ account.â If it hadn't been for Charles, the consequences would have been
much worse. âAll right now, I've got to go back downstairs. Mark is still there.â Since it's Mark's first
time here, it would be rude to leave him alone. âWhat? Mark's at your house?â âMmm-hmm."
âSophie, aren't you playing favorites? How can you invite Mark over for Christmas and not me?â
Sophie was speechless. âHe was alone in the mansion, hence the invitation for him to come over for
Christmas dinner,â Sophie explained.
âFine.â Tristan was still upset by the news. After ending the call, Sophie went downstairs to spend
time with Josiah. âSoph, look, this sketch is really entertaining.â âIt is.â Josiah enjoyed watching
sketches and poem recitations. Even though the standard of recent programs had deteriorated, his
enthusiasm hadn't diminished one bit. When it was close to midnight, Mark finally got to his feet.
"Mark, since it's already so late, why don't you stay the night?â Josiah suggested. âIt's fine, Old Mr.
Tanner. I should be going home now.â Mark didnât want to impose on them any further. âGrandpa,
I'll walk him out. You should hurry up and get some rest as it's already late.â He shouldn't neglect his
health just because it's Christmas. âFine, I'm going to bed.â At that hour, Sophie was the only one
who remained by his side. Everyone else had made an excuse and left after watching the program
briefly. Evidently, actions spoke louder than words. The moment they stepped out the door, Mark
stopped in his tracks. Even though it hadn't snowed in Jipsdale over the last few days, the weather
was still freezing cold.
âAll right, you should hurry back in. It's too cold outside.â Sophie only had a red sweater on, which
wasn't enough. âOkay. Be careful when you go home.â âI will.â Mark's heart warmed at her concern.
When Sophie returned to the living room after sending Mark off, Josiah was still watching TV there.
âGrandpa, why are you being so stubborn? Aren't you supposed to be in bed?â âJust five more
minutes. My favorite sketch actor is on now.â Josiah refused to go to sleep. Faced with his
obstinance, the helpless Sophie ended up watching the show together with him. Once the sketch
was over, it was time for the poem recitation. Josiah asked in a pitiful tone, âSophie, I'm your
grandfather. How can you treat me like that?â âGrandpa, what did I do to you?â âCan I then watch
for five more minutes?â Josiah added with a smile, âEven if I go to bed now, I wouldn't be able to fall
asleep.
Thus, it's futile for you to insist.â Even though Sophie didn't say another word, her expression was
enough to send a shiver down anyone's spine. âFine. I'll stop watching and go to bed. Are you
satisfied?â Josiah had no choice but to give in. Watching the exchange, Morgan couldn't help but
smile. In this whole wide world, only Ms. Sophie is capable of ordering Old Mr. Tanner around. While
Morgan helped Josiah up the stairs, Sophie cleared the mess in the living room before heading up
herself. By then, it was already past midnight. She gave her social media a quick surf before lying
down to go to bed. Suddenly, her phone lit up. It was Tristan calling again on video. Even though
the room light was off, Sophie still answered it. âWhy are you still up at this hour?â âI was just about
to sleep and wanted to call you before that.â Christmas, to Tristan, was a boring affair where
everyone simply ate and drank. âIn that case, I'll hang up now.â Sophie was truly exhausted. âMmm-
hmm, good night.â The purpose of his call was just to bid her good night. âGood night.â Despite the
simplicity of the greeting, it was enough for Sophie to feel her cheeks burn. The next morning, by
the time Tristan woke up, William was already practicing yoga. âYoungsters like you are just too
much.
Don't you realize how late it is?â William grumbled at Tristan, who proceeded to take a simple
breakfast. âDad, I'm busy in the afternoon, so I won't be back for lunch.â Stumped by the comment,
William threw him a glance. âIt's Christmas now. What is there to do? Don't tell me that the
employees of Lombard Group don't get a break?â âIt's personal. You don't have to worry about it.â
âPersonal? For someone who doesn't even have a girlfriend, what can it be?â The mere mention of a
girlfriend frustrated William. âTristan, you're getting older now. Don't be like Sarah. It's time for you
to get married.â
These kids never fail to make me worry about them. âThat's enough. You don't have to concern
yourself with me. When it's time to get married, I definitely will.â âYou donât want me to interfere,
and yet, you only give me more cause to worry. At this rate, who's going to marry you?â All he does
every day is work. âTristan, let me tell you, don't just engross yourself in work. When it's time for a
relationship, you need to take time out for it, do you understand? Winter seems like a good girl to
me. I really don't know what's wrong with you to reject someone like her.â
It's one thing to not be interested, but why did he have to send her to Alendor? âStop! Don't bring
up that person in front of me. She has to stay in Alendor for the next ten years.â I don't mind
forgiving her for offending me. Too bad for her, she had the audacity to attack Sophie. Therefore, I
would have failed Sophie if I didn't exile her to Alendor for ten years. After Tristan had left, William
âwho was done with his yoga sessionâwas resting on a rattan chair. By then, Sarah had woken up.
"Good morning, Dad!" âSarah, does Tristan really not have a girlfriend? Other than seeing a girl, why
would he need to be out on Christmas Day?â The more William thought about it, the more puzzled
he became. Sarah couldn't help but laugh when she saw the look on his face.
