Chapter 38 My DiscipleTristan arranged the balls on the pool table and explained the rules of the
game to Sophie and Ysabelle.However, Ysabelle wasn't interested in it at all.âCan I not learn, Uncle
Tristan?â she asked as she didn't like the game.âSure. Why donât you find something else to play
with?" After that, he guided Sophie on what to do, and the latter nodded as she listened to the
rules.âDo you remember everything?â Tristan asked.âI'll try."As she spoke, she picked up the pool
cue to give it a go. Leaning over the table, Sophie aimed at the balls just as the man had
instructed.Seeing that her posture wasn't correct, Tristan walked over and helped correct her.With
the position they were in right now, their bodies would press against each other even if only one of
them were to move slightly.Sophie wasn't used to being so intimate with a grown man, and she
couldn't stop herself from getting distracted.âFocus. Tristan was just as distracted, but he quickly
calmed himself down.l can't let my imagination run wild. She's only eighteen. I canât think about
those things.I can wait for her to grow up.âOkay.â Sophie tried her best not to let the man's breath
affect her.âAim at the balls. Your left hand should be this way, and your right like this. Yes, that's
right.ââTsk, tsk. I've never seen Mr. Tristan so patient before." Tristan could get a hang of things he
was learning very quickly. However, not even Ysabelle, who was most loved by the Lombard family,
had gotten such a hands-on class from him before Obviously, Winter also saw it, and she couldnât
help but clutch tightly onto her pool cue.Charles patted her shoulder and said, âWinter, you're my
sister. There's no man out there that you can't get. Come on, let's not think about him anymore. I'll
introduce someone good to you in the future.â He had been friends with Tristan for so many years.
Naturally, he knew how the manâs temper was.Winter smiled bitterly at that.âI'm fine, Charles.âSheâs
just a little girl. Maybe Tristan is just taking care of her as if sheâs his little sister. After all, no matter
how you see it, a girl like her isn't worthy of someone like Tristan.However, Winter herself had never
been so intimate with him before.Meanwhile, Sophie got the hang of the game with just a few
tries.âLet me try it on my own.â Just like Tristan, she could learn things really quickly. In just a short
while, she felt that she had already gotten the hang of it.He let go of her hand, and the feel of her
skin lingered on his palm.Tristan secretly heaved a sigh once he let go of her.The girl's impact on
him was getting bigger. He didn't seem to want to let her go once he grabbed hold of her.Sophie
gave it a try on her own. She knew the rules and also the postures, so it wasn't difficult for her."Do
you know how the game works now?â Winter came over and asked. Turning to Tristan, she added,
"Why don't you let me teach her, Tristan? It'd be better since I'm a woman too.âIt's fine. I'll teach
my own disciple. Why? Are you doubting me?âHe didnât want to have Winter getting so intimate
with Sophie.âl donât mean anything else. It's just that Sophie is a girl, so she might feel
uncomfortable if you stick so close to her.ââAre you feeling uncomfortable?â he turned to ask
Sophie.Sophie walked over to the other side of the pool table. She only looked up at him once she
had scored one of the balls.âI'm all right.ââIt's fine if sheâs okay with it. Go ahead and play with them,
Winter. Didn't you want to play?âWinter bit her lip, but she kept a smile on her face.Damn it! Are
you doing this on purpose, Sophie?How do you know how to seduce people when you're so young?
Tristan stopped bothering with Winter when he saw that Sophie's posture was wrong again. He
quickly walked over to correct her.Lowering his head, he saw that the top of her breasts was
showing because she was leaning forward.Tristanâs eyes darkened at the sight of this. This little vixen
always manages to seduce me even without the knowledge of doing so.He quickly looked away and
corrected her posture.âDonât wear clothes like this from now on.âSophie straightened up and looked
down at her clothes."What's wrong with it?â This shirt is really normal!"The collars too low."The two
of them were acting as if there wasn't anyone next to them, and Winter's face paled.Charles
instantly walked over to drag her back to their table."All right. Stop looking.â What can she do even
if she continues? No one can control what Tristan thinks or does.Winter bit her lip."Charles, Mr.
Tristanâs treating her so well.ââNo one knows what's on his mind. Just mind your own business. Don't
mess with her, understand?âIt seems like Mr. Tristan has already taken the girl under his wing. That
means he won't tolerate anyone who messes with her.âl know."How could she not know his
temperament? Nonetheless, she liked him and, thus, couldnt stand seeing him treat other women
so well.Sophie finally got the hang of it after practicing more.âNot bad,â Tristan said, giving her a
rare compliment.âOur Soph is that great! She can do anything."Ysabelle couldn't help but feel proud
herself when she heard Tristan complimenting Sophie."Are you up for a game, Sophie?â Even
though Winter had a smile on her face, what she felt toward the girl before her had completely
changed."Winter,â Charles warned. He knew that she wanted to show off her skills, but Sophie had
only just learned the basics. He could not believe that his sister was shameless enough to challenge
a beginner.Yet, Winter ignored him."It's just a game. You won't lose anything! You wouldn't mind
right, Mr. Tristan?"âAre you okay with it?" Tristan asked Sophie. It'll be fine even if she doesn't want
to play.âOf course!â Sophie said as she slowly picked up the pool cue.Ysabelle got up from her seat
in an instant. She knew that Winter was picking on Sophie on purpose.âThatâs not cool, Winter.â As
the youngest of the Lombard family, Ysabelle didn't hold back her words.She liked Sophie, so
naturally, she wanted to protect the latter.âIt's just a game, Belle. Why are you making it sound like
I'm bullying her? I won't force you if you don't want to, Sophie.âIt's fine. It's just a game, so it
doesnât matter who wins.âRolling her wrist to stretch it, Sophie added, âYou can go first."It's okay.
You're new, so you go ahead,â Winter said.I'm the best among the other women when it comes to
playing pool. As a beginner, how dare she tell me to go first? She's really overestimating herself.âAre
you sure?"âYes. Mr. Tristan, is your disciple as good as you are? Can she score all the balls in one
go?"Tristan ignored her words. To him, Winter was just Charlesâ sister.Sophie started the game. Her
moves were a little rusty, so she could not get the game off to a good start.Seeing this, Winter
smirked inwardly. I'll have to show Tristan that there's nothing more to a little girl like her. I have to
show him just how vulnerable she is.I'm the only one worthy of being with Tristan.lt doesn't matter
in what aspectâI'm the best suited to be with him!Sophie looked up and smiled at her.âI'm sorry.
I'm still a bit rusty."Then, she continued. Leaning over the table, she aimed and hit, scoring three red
balls in one go."What great luck,â Winter sneered. It's her first time. She just has beginner's luck.
