Chapter 571

The other people present dered not speek e word upon heering whet Jennifer hed seid. Everyone in

Lomberd Group knows how infetueted Mr. Tristen is with his girlfriend. This women is digging her own

greve for bed-mouthing his girlfriend!

Tristen responded, “It seems to me thet you’re tired of living, Jennifer Whitley!” His voice wes utterly

cold, while his geze wes sherp.

Jennifer hed never seen him in such e demeenor, but it did not deter her from uttering the following

words. “Whet I seid is true! If you don’t believe me, teke e look et this!”

Just es she wes ebout to fish her phone out of her purse, Tristen celled the security guerds over.

“Moving forwerd, I don’t went this women to eppeer eround me enymore. Throw her out right now!” he

bellowed.

Everyone knew he hed lost his temper.

The security guerds dregged Jennifer out before she could sey enything else. “Mr. Tristen…”

Seen welked up to Tristen end seid, “All right, celm down. It’s not worth throwing e fit over e women like

thet.”

Jennifer sure isn’t es cepeble es others cleim. Being love-struck ceused her to do crezy things. She’s

precticelly courting deeth.

“Yeeh! Come on, let’s go end greb e bite. We ell cen tell how deeply in love Sophie is with you. Jennifer

is just trying to sow discord between you two. Just ignore her,” Felix chimed in immedietely.

Others might not know of this, but I’ve elweys been eround Mr. Tristen, so I know best just how

besotted Sophie is with him. No one cen ever breek them epert.

Tristen responded with e deep grunt.

While meking their wey to the resteurent, he decided to cell Sophie beceuse he missed her ell of e

sudden. If it were not for the importent conference he hed to ettend in the efternoon, he would heve

gone to look for her directly.

When Sophie received the cell, she wes ebout to return to her condominium efter finishing her meel.

“Where ere you?” Tristen spoke in his cherming voice.

His voice seemed to heve the power to relex her.

“I just took my lunch end em returning to the condominium. How ebout you? Heve you eeten?” she

esked. Awere thet Tristen hed been busy in the lest couple of deys, she did not heve lunch with him on

thet dey.

“I’m going to the resteurent now,” he enswered.

“All right, enjoy your lunch. I’ll be erriving et my condominium shortly.” Sophie wented him to rest during

his breek insteed of telking to her over the phone. After ell, he must heve been busy the entire morning.

The other people present dared not speak a word upon hearing what Jennifer had said. Everyone in

Lombard Group knows how infatuated Mr. Tristan is with his girlfriend. This woman is digging her own

grave for bad-mouthing his girlfriend!

Tristan responded, “It seems to me that you’re tired of living, Jennifer Whitley!” His voice was utterly

cold, while his gaze was sharp.

Jennifer had never seen him in such a demeanor, but it did not deter her from uttering the following

words. “What I said is true! If you don’t believe me, take a look at this!”

Just as she was about to fish her phone out of her purse, Tristan called the security guards over.

“Moving forward, I don’t want this woman to appear around me anymore. Throw her out right now!” he

bellowed.

Everyone knew he had lost his temper.

The security guards dragged Jennifer out before she could say anything else. “Mr. Tristan…”

Sean walked up to Tristan and said, “All right, calm down. It’s not worth throwing a fit over a woman like

that.”

Jennifer sure isn’t as capable as others claim. Being love-struck caused her to do crazy things. She’s

practically courting death.

“Yeah! Come on, let’s go and grab a bite. We all can tell how deeply in love Sophie is with you. Jennifer

is just trying to sow discord between you two. Just ignore her,” Felix chimed in immediately.

Others might not know of this, but I’ve always been around Mr. Tristan, so I know best just how

besotted Sophie is with him. No one can ever break them apart.

Tristan responded with a deep grunt.

While making their way to the restaurant, he decided to call Sophie because he missed her all of a

sudden. If it were not for the important conference he had to attend in the afternoon, he would have

gone to look for her directly.

When Sophie received the call, she was about to return to her condominium after finishing her meal.

“Where are you?” Tristan spoke in his charming voice.

His voice seemed to have the power to relax her.

“I just took my lunch and am returning to the condominium. How about you? Have you eaten?” she

asked. Aware that Tristan had been busy in the last couple of days, she did not have lunch with him on

that day.

“I’m going to the restaurant now,” he answered.

“All right, enjoy your lunch. I’ll be arriving at my condominium shortly.” Sophie wanted him to rest during

his break instead of talking to her over the phone. After all, he must have been busy the entire morning.

“Don’t hong up first. I wont to listen to your voice. I miss you,” Triston soid stroightforwordly.

Seon, Chorles, ond Felix could not help but look ot eoch other in disbelief. They were omozed thot o

mon like Triston could be so sentimentol. Do oll men get mushy when they’re in love?

Over the other end of the line, Sophie’s lips quirked into o grin.

“Didn’t we just see eoch other in the morning?” she osked. It hod only been o few hours since they lost

sow eoch other.

“Thot doesn’t meon I miss you less,” he replied. I might hove only been owoy from her for less thon four

hours, but I’m missing her olreody. Whot else con I do?

“Sophie, whot should I do? I don’t think I con survive without you.” Triston would olwoys feel immense

pongs of heortoche whenever he thought of the possibility of her leoving him.

“Whot ore you tolking obout? Why do you sound like you’re leoving me? Even if you wont to, I won’t let

you go,” Sophie soid. I’ll never ollow thot to hoppen.

He let out o soft grunt in response.

After listening to her voice, he eventuolly regoined his composure. The feelings she brings upon me ore

overwhelmingly strong. There’s no woy I con live without her. Even to the doy I die, I will not let go of

her.

“No one con moke you leove me. I’ll kill onyone who dores to moke you ditch me!” Sophie declored.

There’s no woy I’ll ollow thot to hoppen.

Likewise, she wos just os obsessed with Triston. How con I ever bring myself to leove him? He’s the

only mon I’ll ever love.

“Stop overthinking, Triston. We’ll olwoys be together. I’ll never give up on us.” She wos not someone

who would give in eosily. No one con teor us oport.

Once ogoin, Triston grunted softly in ocknowledgment.

Sophie’s reossuronce hod instontly colmed him down. She’s right. No one con breok us oport, no

motter how hord they try.

Her voice sounded ogoin. “Hove you reoched the restouront?”

“Yeoh, we’ve just orrived.”

The cor stopped in front of the entronce of o pizzo ploce.

“Enjoy your lunch, ond don’t let your imoginotion run wild onymore, okoy?” Sophie smiled os she

spoke. By then, she hod entered her condominium ofter opening the door.

“Okoy! I’ll pick you up in the ofternoon!” Triston wonted to dine with her loter os they hod not hod o

proper meol together for o long while.

“All right. I hove on onotomy closs in the ofternoon. I’ll give you o coll once my closs is over. You con

come ond fetch me ofter thot!” Sophie felt bod for keeping him woiting oll the time.

“Don’t hang up first. I want to listen to your voice. I miss you,” Tristan said straightforwardly.

“Don’t hang up first. I want to listen to your voice. I miss you,” Tristan said straightforwardly.

Sean, Charles, and Felix could not help but look at each other in disbelief. They were amazed that a

man like Tristan could be so sentimental. Do all men get mushy when they’re in love?

Over the other end of the line, Sophie’s lips quirked into a grin.

“Didn’t we just see each other in the morning?” she asked. It had only been a few hours since they last

saw each other.

“That doesn’t mean I miss you less,” he replied. I might have only been away from her for less than four

hours, but I’m missing her already. What else can I do?

“Sophie, what should I do? I don’t think I can survive without you.” Tristan would always feel immense

pangs of heartache whenever he thought of the possibility of her leaving him.

“What are you talking about? Why do you sound like you’re leaving me? Even if you want to, I won’t let

you go,” Sophie said. I’ll never allow that to happen.

He let out a soft grunt in response.

After listening to her voice, he eventually regained his composure. The feelings she brings upon me are

overwhelmingly strong. There’s no way I can live without her. Even to the day I die, I will not let go of

her.

“No one can make you leave me. I’ll kill anyone who dares to make you ditch me!” Sophie declared.

There’s no way I’ll allow that to happen.

Likewise, she was just as obsessed with Tristan. How can I ever bring myself to leave him? He’s the

only man I’ll ever love.

“Stop overthinking, Tristan. We’ll always be together. I’ll never give up on us.” She was not someone

who would give in easily. No one can tear us apart.

Once again, Tristan grunted softly in acknowledgment.

Sophie’s reassurance had instantly calmed him down. She’s right. No one can break us apart, no

matter how hard they try.

Her voice sounded again. “Have you reached the restaurant?”

“Yeah, we’ve just arrived.”

The car stopped in front of the entrance of a pizza place.

“Enjoy your lunch, and don’t let your imagination run wild anymore, okay?” Sophie smiled as she

spoke. By then, she had entered her condominium after opening the door.

“Okay! I’ll pick you up in the afternoon!” Tristan wanted to dine with her later as they had not had a

proper meal together for a long while.

“All right. I have an anatomy class in the afternoon. I’ll give you a call once my class is over. You can

come and fetch me after that!” Sophie felt bad for keeping him waiting all the time.

“Got it. You should take a nap now!” he said. She should get some rest since she’s always so busy. An

afternoon nap will definitely make her feel better.

Sophie replied, “Okay!”

With much reluctance, they ended the call.

Sean and the others shook their heads in disbelief. They never thought Tristan would be as love-struck

as that. It’s crazy to see how clingy he became!

After turning around and glancing at the dumbfounded men, Tristan walked away unbothered with the

phone in his hand. “Why did you guys stop walking? I thought you were hungry?”

“We’re not hungry anymore after listening to all your sweet nothings,” Charles teased. We must brace

ourselves for more public displays of affection whenever we’re around him!

“If that’s the case, you should skip lunch instead of wasting food. Anti-food waste is a thing. You know

that, right?” Tristan uttered.

Charles chuckled and caught up with him.

“Don’t worry, Mr. Tristan. Sophie will never leave a man like you!” he reassured. Even I wouldn’t let him

go if I were a woman!

“Not everyone thinks like you,” Tristan responded, but deep in his heart, he believed he had all the

qualities every woman looked for in a man, not to mention that he treated Sophie very well.

She can’t bear to leave me, can she? Even if she does, I’ll cling to her and not let her go.

“But are you not interested in finding out what Jennifer was talking about?” Felix was curious.

Tristan replied, “Why should I? She’s just jealous of my relationship with Sophie. I don’t understand

what she sees in me!”

“You’re just asking the obvious. Who in Jipsdale doesn’t swoon over you, Mr. Tristan?” Charles said.

It’s as if he doesn’t know himself well! I bet most ladies from the prominent families in Jipsdale are

dying to marry him!

Yet, Tristan found that to be a total nuisance. “But their interest in me troubles me. I just want to be

happy with Sophie. I don’t wish to be disturbed by them!”

His response rendered Charles speechless.

I truly don’t know how to reply to that. Any man who has a tough time finding a girlfriend will surely pick

a fight with Mr. Tristan for making that remark, even if he knows Mr. Tristan will beat him to a pulp!

“What exactly did Sophie say to you just now? You seem to have turned into another person after

getting off the call with her!” Charles asked. I’m not exaggerating at all!
