Chapter 756

She had been busy after Wilma’s wedding, and so was he. It had been days since he last met her.

That was why he lost control of the feelings that surged within him at that moment and wanted to treat

her that way.

Sophie panted as she was given a passionate kiss. Tristan, however, was not much better. Eventually,

he could only lie on her shoulder and breath heavily.

While Sophie was pinned against the wall, she could clearly feel the man’s body reacting.

“What are you going to do now? Why don’t you go and take a cold shower?” She felt that Tristan’s

room was fully equipped, and there was also a dedicated lounge attached to it where he could take a

shower.

Tristan shook his head. “I’d rather not.”

“I thought you are feeling uncomfortable?”

“I’m fine. Just let me hug you for a while will do.”

It took a while before Tristan slowly recovered. He then carried Sophie to the couch and had someone

prepare afternoon tea for her.

“Have you eaten?” asked Tristan, as he himself had not eaten anything yet because of the incident

earlier.

Sophie shook her head.

“But you have prepared so many desserts. I don’t think I need to go out to eat anymore.”

She was thinking of staying in the office with Tristan if he was busy.

“Don’t eat that, then. I’ll skip work and take you out for a meal.” Tristan immediately put on his coat.

After getting Sophie prepared, he took her hand and headed out.

All the employees of Lombard Group knew that Sophie had helped their company solve a big problem

and cast her a look that was full of admiration.

“How can someone so dashing as she exists in this world? I just heard a colleague from the

cybersecurity department talk about it, and I still can’t believe it!”

“Not only does she have good looks, but she is also a high achiever at University of Medicine and

Jipsdale University. She could even help Mr. Tristan get rid of the hacker. Is she really a normal human

being?”

Tristan thought everyone had overreacted upon hearing that.

“Ah! What should I do? I love our CEO’s wife so much! Only such an outstanding woman is worthy of

Mr. Tristan,” someone exclaimed.

In the past, they could not bring themselves to imagine what kind of woman would be worthy of a man

like Tristan.

Only after Sophie appeared did they all feel that only a woman like her was worthy of Tristan.

The two of them complemented each other very well.

Tristan was a little upset at the gaze those ladies threw at Sophie. Why does Sophie always make

others grow fond of her?

The sight of the duo leaving hand in hand made everyone jealous.

“Oh, man! What should I do? I didn’t believe in love at first, but seeing the two of them makes me

believe in love again.”

Tristan took Sophie to a newly opened barbecue joint nearby. Knowing she liked to eat BBQ, he had

always wanted to bring her to that barbecue joint after hearing the Lombard Group employees talk

about it last time.

“My subordinates said the BBQ here is very nice, and I always wanted to bring you over. Finally, my

wish comes true today.”

Tristan did not know how other people planned their dates, but he always wanted to give Sophie the

best whenever they were together.

Sophie hummed in acknowledgment.

Her eyes were filled with tenderness as she gazed up at Tristan. The man, on the other hand, always

gazed at her affectionately.

Perhaps that was what true love was.

Nobody knew if what happened next was a mere coincidence, but they ran into Winter at the barbecue

joint. Truth be told, it was not mealtime at that hour.

There were not many people in the barbecue joint.

The current Winter looked more mature and dressed exquisitely that day. She started her own business

during her return this time around and was there to have a meal with her business partners.

One should always keep moving forward.

However, Winter’s image as a capable career lady shattered after she saw how attentive Tristan was

toward Sophie.

The sight made her heart ached.

Wherever Sophie went, Tristan would always have his gaze fixated on her.

Winter thought if he could also look at herself in such a way, she would give him her life even if he

asked for it.

However, his gentleness never belonged to her.

“Ms. Quigley, are you all right?” the person next to Winter couldn’t help but ask upon seeing her like

that.

Winter immediately shook her head. No matter when and how much time had passed, she still could

not forget that feeling of love.

She knew they were not pleased to see her, but when she saw Tristan, she still wanted to go over and

greet him. Even a simple hello would make her feel contented.

“Please carry on. I saw someone I know. I’ll go and talk to them for a bit.”

Winter went over without a care in the world, but Tristan sat down with Sophie and paid no heed to her.

She clenched her fists at the sight.

“Mr. Tristan, it’s been a while.”

Since her return, she rarely had the chance to see Tristan.

She wanted to go to him, but she had to hold herself back as she didn’t want to be sent abroad again.

“Don’t you know that your presence is a nuisance to others? Winter, with your status, I don’t think

there’s a need for you to do such a thing,” Tristan said in disdain.

Winter’s face immediately turned pale at his words. What does he mean by that? I came over to greet

him merely because I couldn’t control myself.

She couldn’t help but look at Sophie, who was sitting on the side calmly. This woman must be very

proud of herself right now! The most eligible man in Jipsdale acts this way in front of her but utterly

disregards me, the daughter of the Quigley family.

“Winter, I don’t want to see you. Please leave! Or, you guys can eat somewhere else.”

Winter was rendered speechless, clenching her fists. Just because Sophie is here, he actually wants

me to leave. But I am obviously here first!

“Mr. Tristan, what are you doing? This is a public place. How can you chase someone out? It’s okay. I

don’t mind.” Sophie thought they should simply ignore an insignificant person, and there was no need

to be aggressive to push the person to the corner.

“Oh, is that so? Fine. I thought you didn’t like seeing her. It turns out I’ve misunderstood you. Winter, go

and enjoy your meal then!”

Winter was even more embarrassed when she heard that. Just because of Sophie’s words, he can

completely change his mind. How can he behave like this?

However, the atmosphere at that moment was indeed a bit awkward for her, and she could only return

to the group of ladies.

“Winter, is that guy Mr. Tristan? Who is that lady beside him? She’s so pretty! I’ve never seen Mr.

Tristan treat anyone so well.”

“Yeah! They are indeed a match made in heaven.”

“Didn’t you guys say that Tristan and I are a good match before? What’s the matter now? Am I not

worthy of being with him anymore?”

Winter’s voice turned cold as she spoke. Don’t they know that I like Tristan? How dare they say that

now? These people are so mean. Even if I’m not that great, I’m still the daughter of the Quigley family.

How can they treat me like this?
