Chapter 961 Overflowing Affection

Lying in Tristan’s embrace, Sophie felt extremely comfortable and closed her eyes.

Tristan’s frown disappeared when he saw how relaxed she was. He wrapped his arms around her.

Perhaps because they were genuinely tired or because they were with each other, they felt

exceptionally at ease. The two quickly drifted off to sleep.

They slept soundly until past seven in the evening. Even Bertram and the others didn't dare to wake

them up for dinner. Instead, they waited till Tristan and Sophie were fully rested

The two of them woke up simultaneously. However, even after awakening, Sophie didn't feel like

moving and kept her eyes closed.

It was a rare opportunity for her to finally relax. After all, she was truly exhausted.

“Time to get up and have dinner.” Regardless, they still had to eat dinner. Otherwise, it would be

quite bad for their health, especially since Sophie was already quite thin, to begin with.

“Let me lie here a little longer! I really don't feel like moving right now.” In reality, she could go

eating. As she had quite a heavy lunch, she simply didn't feel hungry at all.

“Your phone is ringing.”

She had put the phone on silent mode. However, Tristan saw the screen light up.

"Oh."

Sophie got up and picked up her phone. When she saw that the call was from Caleb, she answered

it.

“What's the matter, Caleb? Did something happen at the Institute of Physics?”

“I'm doing well here, so don't worry. I heard you went to Fandar. It's a dangerous place. Please be

careful, okay?” Caleb was genuinely concerned about her.

“Yeah, I know. If anyone dares to bully you at the Institute of Physics, let me know.”

“You don’t need to worry about me. I'm already a grown-up! How could anyone bully me?” Since it

was a rare opportunity for him to pursue his passion, he truly cherished it.

“If there's nothing else, I'll hang up. I've still got to deal with something.” Although Sophie knew

Caleb was sincere, she still wasn't accustomed to his concern.

As they had been too distant in the past, she now felt somewhat uncomfortable.

After ending the call, she noticed Tristan looking at her. Sophie touched her face.

Is there something on my face? Why is he looking at me like that?

"What's wrong? What are you looking at?”

“Nothing. Is that Caleb?” Having seen Caleb a few times, Tristan thought that Caleb didn't seem very

close

“Yeah, it's Caleb. Didn't he just come back from Anglandur? He wanted to go to the Institute of

Physics, so I helped him a bit.” Truthfully, she did not detest Caleb.

“All right. Let's go and eat dinner!”

Sophie smoothened her hair before going out with Tristan. They stopped by Felix's room first.

“We're going to have dinner now. Ysabelle, will you be joining us, or should we ask someone to

bring the food to you?” asked Sophie with a raised eyebrow.

They already made up, right? Look at how affectionate they are.

"Just get someone to bring me food. I'll eat with Felix. He can't get out of bed yet. I can't possibly let

him eat alone, right? It'll be too pitiful.”

After finally finding Felix, she wanted to be with him constantly.

“Okay, I understand.” Sophie's eyes sparkled with a smile. They're just a bickering yet loving couple.

Isn't it better this way? They insisted on creating so much unnecessary trouble previously.

Sophie and Tristan went to have dinner, where grilled fish was served. The chef, who was pretty

decent, grilled the fish perfectly.

“I hired this chef specifically for you, Mr. Tristan! He's the best Chanaean chef in Fandar.” Bertram

had spent quite a lot of money hiring the chef.

“Thank you for your hard work. Have you eaten? If you have, make the necessary preparations. I

need to tell everyone something tonight.” The situation in Fandar had been dragging on for far too

long. He wanted to resolve it quickly.

As he still needed to go back for his wedding, he couldn't afford any more delays there.

“Got it. Mr. Tristan. Enjoy your meal with Ms. Tanner. I'll get the rest to prepare themselves

particularly liked Sophie. If they fought, he might not even be a match for her.

He wished to spar with Sophie if he had the opportunity to, just that he didn't know if Tristan agree.

“Bertram really likes you!” Tristan shook his head in exasperation.

My girlfriend is simply too exceptional. There are far too many people who like her. How annoying!

Sophie placed a piece of grilled fish on his plate.

"He merely admires me. He doesn't like me in that way,” she clarified. It's fine, isn't it? There's

absolutely no need for him to feel jealous of his subordinate.

“All right, then! Let's assume it's genuine admiration. No matter who attempts to steal you from me,

they'll never succeed.” She was his bride, after all.

“Continue eating! It tastes quite delicious.”

"Want some beer?” he offered. Since it was so hot, a cold beer would be quite refreshing.

"Sure!"

Sophie had actually been longing for some beer. However, she controlled the urge because her

period was coming. Tristan’s words made her change her mind.

Tristan grabbed a beer at the side.

“The iced ones taste the best,” she stated, recalling the times with Mark and the rest when they

always drank cold beer. It was the perfect way to beat the heat.

However, he responded, “But your period is coming, right? It's better to avoid anything too cold.

This room-temperature one will do. And you can only drink a glass!”

Does he actually remember my menstrual cycle too? It's impressive of him to remember something

like that.

He poured a glass of beer for her.

"Here you go. This is such a small glass. Is he trying to tempt me on purpose?

Sophie lifted the glass and took a small sip. The glass was so small that she was worried that she

would finish the beer too quickly,

Once they finished their meal, they instructed someone to bring some food to Felix and Ysabelle.

“I'm going to find Bertram and the rest to deal with the situation here. You can go ahead and find

Ysabelle first. I'll look for you in a bit.”

"Okay!"

Knowing that he wanted to restore order in the city, she naturally had no objections. Furthermore,

she thought that it would be rather dull if she joined him. She would rather find Felix and Ysabelle.

Sophie brought some food over. Since she already had enough rest earlier in the day, she decided

to keep Ysabelle company.

Ysabelle carefully helped Felix with his dinner. She was so patient that Sophie was surprised to see

that side of her.

“Don't forget to eat too. You've been taking care of me without eating.” Felix thought that she was

probably hungry too. Furthermore, his hand was not injured, so he could eat on his own perfectly

well.

However, when he saw how attentive she was to him, he did not want to reject her kind gestures.

“I'm not hungry. You should eat first. I'll eat after you're done.”

“I love you, Ysabelle!” exclaimed Felix, unable to hold himself back. I'll love her for the rest of my life!

Ysabelle glanced at him shyly.

"What are you doing? Sophie is still here!”

Sophie let out a chuckle when she saw how embarrassed Ysabelle was.

“Are you saying that I'm unnecessary here?” she teased.
