Chapter 305
Dote On Her As I Please âHey, what do you mean by that? It's obvious that you think we're
incompetent, isn't it?â Even though Ysabelle knew she was not good in physics, it did not mean she
agreed with Mavisâ opinion. Mavis rolled her eyes at her. âYou know full well about how you got into
this camp.â Mavis was the top scorer in physics in her school, which was notably well-known for
consistently winning first place in the annual physics competition. Thus, it was natural for her to
belittle everyone else. âYou...â Ysabelle was about to explode with anger. âWhat's with your snarky
attitude? Just wait and see! You're going to be crushed by us soon!â To her, it meant everything to
defend her dignity.
Mavis snorted in response. âYou may want to reconsider my offer, Bailey.â When she looked at
Bailey, she was utterly devoid of her earlier arrogance. While munching on her bread, Sophie said,
"Don't you already have a team? Are you planning to kick out your current teammate just so Bailey
can join your team?â If that were the case, a person like Mavis could not be a good teammate. âIt's
none of your business!â Mavis was back to her arrogant self. âMavis, you should go back to your
teammates! Otherwise, I reckon no one would be willing to form a team with you if they knew what
you were thinking.â Mavis was reluctant to give up. Her only interest was Bailey. âBailey, you won't
stand a chance to win if you form a team with those two! Listen to me!â she demanded. âHah! So,
it's bad for him to join our team, but it's fine to be on the same team as you? Do you really think the
result of the competition is predetermined? Are you claiming you'll win first place just because you
said s0?" Ysabelle retorted, not bothering to be courteous toward Mavis. Deep down, she was livid.
âThat's enough. Just go back. We'll use our capabilities to prove ourselves.â Bailey did not want to
continue wasting time with Mavisâ nonsense. Mavis swept a glance at Sophie and Ysabelle.
I'm giving you a chance here, Bailey. You don't want to look back and regret missing out on such a
great opportunity later on.â After finishing her sentence, she walked away with a pale face. Ysabelle
was both amused and enraged by her words. âShe thinks she is invincible, doesn't she?â she
remarked unhappily. It was true that Mavis won first prize during the previous physics competition,
which emboldened her to act so arrogantly that time around. âAll right. Let's continue our meal!â
Sophie exhorted. It was not worth getting upset over an insignificant person. What Mavis thought
was her own business, so they had no reason to be angry about it. âDonât worry, Soph. I'll make an
effort not to become a burden to our team!â Ysabelle promised resolutely. By hook or by crook, they
had to give Mavis a drubbing. After having a spoonful of oatmeal, Sophie did not feel like eating it
anymore. Although the food there was decent, her palate had become more refined because of her
time with Tristan. When Ysabelle saw that Sophie was done eating, she quickly finished her bread in
a few mouthfuls and stood up. âWe've finished our food, Bailey. Enjoy your meal!â With that,
Ysabelle dragged Sophie away. Bailey responded immediately by standing up abruptly, hoping to
leave with them. However, Ysabelle had already left with Sophie. Upon seeing that the duo had left,
Mavis approached Bailey again and asked, âAre you seriously not going to consider my offer,
Bailey?â
Bailey was speechless. âCan't we just compete to the best of our abilities, Mavis?" he voiced in the
end. Mavis was at a loss for words. Why does the person I like only see me as a rival? Meanwhile,
Felix began to report work-related matters to Tristan as soon as the latter drove back to Jipsdale.
Along with his return, several tricky and challenging issues were immediately solved with ease. Felix
sighed. âWe're all humans, so why is there such a huge difference between us?â Those difficult
problems that arose while Mr. Tristan was away were easily settled after he returned. âDuh! Do you
think everyone is capable of being Mr. Tristan?â Sean's words had hit the nail on the head. It was
undeniable that there were not many people like Tristan in the world. Playing with the emerald in his
hand, Charles asked, âMr. Tristan, did you drive all the way to Summerbank just to drop Sophie off?â
It was merely a physics competition, which was insignificant compared to the pressing issues in
Jipsdale. Despite that, Tristan ignored the mountain of work in Jipsdale to personally send Sophie to
the training camp. Tristan shot Charles a look. âWhat? Did I hold things up?â the former questioned
I came back, didnât 1? Moreover, I took care of all the issues as soon as I returned.
I've only been gone for about six or seven hours. Can't I even have a few hours of freedom? âThat's
not what I meant, Mr. Tristan. I just think you're doting on Sophie excessively. If you keep doing this,
she'll have you wrapped around her little finger in no time,â Charles replied. This is the mighty Mr.
Tristan, a man of perfection and indomitability, that we are talking about! A man like him can have
any woman he desires. There's no need for him to pamper a woman so much. âIt's natural that I
dote on my woman,â Tristan refuted. To him, Sophie was an exceptional woman. It would be
devastating for him to lose her to another man if he did not spoil her more. There was nothing
Charles could say when he saw how happy Tristan was from doting on Sophie. âFine. Pretend I never
said that, and don't tell Sophie about it,â Charles requested. Although Sophie was still young, he felt
that she was actually quite a scary person. If she were to know what he said about her, he reckoned
she would probably be hostile to him in the future. âWhat's the matter? You're a courageous guy,
aren't you? Why are you scared of a young lady?â Felix teased mercilessly. Charles fell silent. Forget
it. Why am I bringing this upon myself? She is Mr. Tristanâs woman. If he wants to spoil her so much
that she walks all over him, he can still handle it himself. There's no need for me to be so concerned.
"Oh, right. How is Winter doing in Alendor?â Tristan asked all of a sudden. âPretty good. My sister
may be arrogant and wilful, but there's no problem with her work performance,â Charles answered.
Nonetheless, Winter had repeatedly expressed her desire to return home. âThat's good to hear. In
that case, you should talk to your grandfather. Tell him to stop coming over and rambling to my dad
all day long. I'm tired of it.â Since Winter was doing well over there, Tristan did not see the need for
her to return. Once again, Charles found himself speechless.
He would not dare to say such things in front of Walter. As a matter of fact, the latter was very upset
with him for not being able to help Winter. âAll right, then. Is there anything else?â Tristan then
asked the other three. The trio shook their heads. It was because Tristan was extremely efficient,
solving everything within half an hour of returning. âThat's good to hear. Felix, get the person in
charge in Summerbank to send some food for Sophie and Ysabelle. They're staying in a mountain
resort this time, and the food there is terrible,â Tristan instructed. His woman and niece, of course,
deserved the best treatment, and he was more than capable of providing it. âMr. Tristan, the
mountain resort's service and facilities are already adequate!â Charles was beyond surprised at
Tristanâs words. When Mr. Tristan visited the mountain resort, he ate in the resort too. So why can't
Sophie eat the same food as he did? However, he could only keep his mouth shut when he saw the
look of affection and love in Tristanâs eyes. Forget it. It's fine if heâs willing to do so. Everything we
say will fall on deaf ears, anyway
