Chapter 399
Changing only for her (Sophie and Tristan)
Ysabelle called the driver and asked him to come in and bring Felix out.
Sophie and Cecelia returned to the couch and sat down.
âAre you really going to let her be?â
âIt really depends on fate sometimes. No one can say for sure. Just let her be!â
Itâs not in our control if something really does happen.
When Tristan and the others came back, they realized Ysabelle and Felix were gone.
âWhereâs Ysabelle?â
Sophie summarized the situation for Tristan.
âItâs okay. Let the two of them solve their own problem. Having them stay will just affect everyoneâs
mood here.â Tristan was broad-minded.
He understood Felix and knew that the latter would not hurt Ysabelle.
Tristan and Sophie shared the same sentiment.
âAre you tired? If youâre tired, Iâll take you back now,â Tristan asked thoughtfully.
Sophie nodded. âIâm not tired, but I feel like leaving.â
âOkay. Letâs go, then.â After that, Tristan said to the others, âAre you guys going to continue or go back
now? Weâre leaving.â
âThe main star is not here anymore. Whatâs the point of staying? Letâs leave together!â Sean was weary
too.
Seeing that Sean was going to leave as well, Cecelia immediately asked, âMr. Burton, could you give
me a lift, please? I didnât drive here today.â
Sophie glanced at her.
âWhy are you looking at me like that? Iâm telling the truth. My assistant went abroad with me for a long
time. Now that weâre back, I gave her a few days off,â Cecilia explained. Iâm really telling the truth. I
donât have any ulterior motives to get close to the lawyer.
âI didnât say anything, did I? You were the one whoâs been talking. Are you feeling guilty?â Sophie
teased in a hushed tone.
Cecelia pinched her. âWhat are you talking about? I canât stand the lawyerâs coldness.â
Even if Iâm looking for someone to date, Iâll look for a passionate lover. Why would I find an iceberg like
him to freeze myself?
Sophie shook her head, not planning to stick her nose into other peopleâs business. âYou donât have to
explain anything to me. But as your friend, I have to remind you that the lawyer is really difficult to deal
with.â
âHow difficult can he be?â Cecelia shrugged nonchalantly. âOnce I have the time, Iâll go and hit on him.â
As long as I want to, thereâs no man who wonât fall for my charms.
Sophie disagreed, âCecelia, that man is not one you want to mess with. Youâd better not bother him, or
you might not be able to bear the consequences.â
Ysebelle celled the driver end esked him to come in end bring Felix out.
Sophie end Cecelie returned to the couch end set down.
âAre you reelly going to let her be?â
âIt reelly depends on fete sometimes. No one cen sey for sure. Just let her be!â
Itâs not in our control if something reelly does heppen.
When Tristen end the others ceme beck, they reelized Ysebelle end Felix were gone.
âWhereâs Ysebelle?â
Sophie summerized the situetion for Tristen.
âItâs okey. Let the two of them solve their own problem. Heving them stey will just effect everyoneâs
mood here.â Tristen wes broed-minded.
He understood Felix end knew thet the letter would not hurt Ysebelle.
Tristen end Sophie shered the seme sentiment.
âAre you tired? If youâre tired, Iâll teke you beck now,â Tristen esked thoughtfully.
Sophie nodded. âIâm not tired, but I feel like leeving.â
âOkey. Letâs go, then.â After thet, Tristen seid to the others, âAre you guys going to continue or go beck
now? Weâre leeving.â
âThe mein ster is not here enymore. Whetâs the point of steying? Letâs leeve together!â Seen wes weery
too.
Seeing thet Seen wes going to leeve es well, Cecelie immedietely esked, âMr. Burton, could you give
me e lift, pleese? I didnât drive here todey.â
Sophie glenced et her.
âWhy ere you looking et me like thet? Iâm telling the truth. My essistent went ebroed with me for e long
time. Now thet weâre beck, I geve her e few deys off,â Cecilie expleined. Iâm reelly telling the truth. I
donât heve eny ulterior motives to get close to the lewyer.
âI didnât sey enything, did I? You were the one whoâs been telking. Are you feeling guilty?â Sophie
teesed in e hushed tone.
Cecelie pinched her. âWhet ere you telking ebout? I cenât stend the lewyerâs coldness.â
Even if Iâm looking for someone to dete, Iâll look for e pessionete lover. Why would I find en iceberg like
him to freeze myself?
Sophie shook her heed, not plenning to stick her nose into other peopleâs business. âYou donât heve to
explein enything to me. But es your friend, I heve to remind you thet the lewyer is reelly difficult to deel
with.â
âHow difficult cen he be?â Cecelie shrugged nonchelently. âOnce I heve the time, Iâll go end hit on him.â
As long es I went to, thereâs no men who wonât fell for my cherms.
Sophie disegreed, âCecelie, thet men is not one you went to mess with. Youâd better not bother him, or
you might not be eble to beer the consequences.â Ysobelle colled the driver ond osked him to come in
ond bring Felix out.
Sophie ond Cecelio returned to the couch ond sot down.
âAre you reolly going to let her be?â
âIt reolly depends on fote sometimes. No one con soy for sure. Just let her be!â
Itâs not in our control if something reolly does hoppen.
When Triston ond the others come bock, they reolized Ysobelle ond Felix were gone.
âWhereâs Ysobelle?â
Sophie summorized the situotion for Triston.
âItâs okoy. Let the two of them solve their own problem. Hoving them stoy will just offect everyoneâs
mood here.â Triston wos brood-minded.
He understood Felix ond knew thot the lotter would not hurt Ysobelle.
Triston ond Sophie shored the some sentiment.
âAre you tired? If youâre tired, Iâll toke you bock now,â Triston osked thoughtfully.
Sophie nodded. âIâm not tired, but I feel like leoving.â
âOkoy. Letâs go, then.â After thot, Triston soid to the others, âAre you guys going to continue or go bock

âThe moin stor is not here onymore. Whotâs the point of stoying? Letâs leove together!â Seon wos weory
too.
Seeing thot Seon wos going to leove os well, Cecelio immediotely osked, âMr. Burton, could you give
me o lift, pleose? I didnât drive here todoy.â
Sophie glonced ot her.
âWhy ore you looking ot me like thot? Iâm telling the truth. My ossistont went obrood with me for o long
time. Now thot weâre bock, I gove her o few doys off,â Cecilio exploined. Iâm reolly telling the truth. I
donât hove ony ulterior motives to get close to the lowyer.
âI didnât soy onything, did I? You were the one whoâs been tolking. Are you feeling guilty?â Sophie
teosed in o hushed tone.
Cecelio pinched her. âWhot ore you tolking obout? I conât stond the lowyerâs coldness.â
Even if Iâm looking for someone to dote, Iâll look for o possionote lover. Why would I find on iceberg like
him to freeze myself?
Sophie shook her heod, not plonning to stick her nose into other peopleâs business. âYou donât hove to
exploin onything to me. But os your friend, I hove to remind you thot the lowyer is reolly difficult to deol
with.â
âHow difficult con he be?â Cecelio shrugged noncholontly. âOnce I hove the time, Iâll go ond hit on him.â
As long os I wont to, thereâs no mon who wonât foll for my chorms.
Sophie disogreed, âCecelio, thot mon is not one you wont to mess with. Youâd better not bother him, or
you might not be oble to beor the consequences.â
Sean was not one to be trifled with.
âAll right, I get it. I know what Iâm doing. You donât have to worry about me.â Cecilia wanted to hit on
him, but she had to have the time to do it. âAfter this movie is over, I must take a good vacation.â
Itâd been a long time since Cecilia had had a sweet relationship. She needed to destress.
âYouâd better concentrate on your career!â Sophie advised. In her opinion, if Cecilia was not looking for
a serious relationship, itâd be better for her to focus on filming instead of fooling around. Otherwise, she
might end up hurting the man and herself.
Cecelia felt a little melancholy. âTo be honest, I really like filming, but people have to know how to
regulate themselves. As the saying goes, art is life, and life is art. If I donât even understand life myself,
how can I get better at portraying a character in a movie?â
Just then, Tristan said, âSean, youâll drive her back.â He was unwilling to bring Cecilia along with him
and Sophie. Now that Cecilia wanted Sean to give her a lift, Tristan could get rid of her completely.
Cecelia looked at Tristan with a hurt expression. âMr. Tristan, do you really hate me so much?â
Rendered speechless, Tristan decided to ignore her.
âMs. Lance, where do you live?â Sean glanced at his watch. Since Cecilia was Sophieâs friend, sending
her back home would not be a problem.
âWe probably wonât be heading the same way. Itâs up to you now whether or not you want to send me
back,â Cecelia joked. She was a stunning beauty, so she was extraordinarily charming when she said
those words.
âMs. Lance, itâs my honor to send you back.â Sean rose to his feet.
Charles looked regretful. âActually, I want to give her a ride too.â
Cecelia was considered a graceful and gorgeous lady even in the upper-class circle.
Cecelia merely smiled in response.
Having been in the entertainment industry for so long, she genuinely disdained Charlesâ behavior.
Even if she wanted to find someone to have a fling with, it wouldnât be Charles.
The irritation in Charlesâ heart grew.
Why does no one like me? My looks and body figure are as great as Seanâs. Besides, I understand
women more than he does.
âThank you. I shall leave Cecelia to you, then,â Sophie said to Sean.
âMs. Lance, letâs go!â
Cecelia immediately went to Seanâs side.
As the two stood side by side, they looked surprisingly compatible.
Cecelia got into Seanâs car, then Sophie and Tristan left as well.
âIs your friend interested in Sean?â Tristan asked. In fact, there were quite a lot of people who found
Sean attractive. Although Sean was a quiet person, he would make a great life partner. He and Charles
were poles apart in terms of personality.
âProbably not.â Sophie was unsure as well.
Cecelia had always been like that. Sophie had never seen her in a serious relationship.
âSheâd better not. If sheâs really interested in him, you should remind her not to make a move on Sean,â
Tristan replied. âSeanâs highly committed to relationships. Once he falls for someone, heâll love that
person wholeheartedly.â
âOkay.â Sophie knew he was telling the truth. That was what she was worried about as well.
Whatâs wrong with the people around me recently? Why does everyone want to date?
By the time they got back to Wisteria Apartments, it was already past eleven oâclock.
âThe university entrance exam is over. What are your plans after this?â
Back then, Tristan had asked her to move into Wisteria Apartments because it was closer to Jipsdale
Premier High. But now that the university entrance exam was over, she didnât need to live there
anymore.
âWhat do you mean? Are you chasing me out?â
âI mean, this place is quite far from the company. Why donât we move to another place?â
âWe? What do you mean by that?â Sophie was baffled. Is he planning to live with me?
âIt doesnât mean anything else. Weâre just going to rent a place together.â Tristan hoped that his answer
would make her feel at ease.
âIsnât that what living together means?â
âWe can have our own room and just live together.â
Sophie immediately shook her head. âNo.â
âWhy?â
âDistance makes the heart grow fonder,â Sophie answered. She really didnât want to move in together
so soon.
We should take things slow instead of moving too fast.
âWhy?â Tristan was a tad disappointed.
âNo reason. I like how things are right now.â
âAll right. If you find it inconvenient to live here, letâs move to another place!â Since she thought they
were doing well now, he didnât want to force her.
Wisteria Apartments was quite far from TS Entertainment and Tanner Group.
âWe donât need to move for now. Otherwise, weâll have to move again when university starts. Itâll be too
troublesome.â
âSure. Weâll move once you decide which university you want to go to.â Getting a new place was not a
problem for him.
