Chapter 981 Truly Impressed

As such, Sophie said no more, allowing him to carry her inside.

When Ysabelle saw that Sophie was in good hands with her uncle, she felt at ease.

“Honestly speaking. I’m not worried about leaving with you tomorrow. With Uncle Tristan around, no

one can ever bully Sophie.” Sophie had always been her primary concern.

“Mhm, Mr. Tristan will never let Sophie suffer any grievances.” Who would dare to give Mr. Tristan’s

most beloved woman a hard time?

“Let’s go and have dinner, then rest early. We’ve got a long-haul flight tomorrow,” added Felix. It would

take a long time for them to fly to Jipsdale.

“Okay.”

Sophie got back to the bedroom, only to realize that Tristan had already prepared some comfortable

clothing for her.

“Go get changed. We’ll have dinner in a little bit. Ysabelle and the lot are leaving tomorrow, so we’ll all

dine together tonight.” A farewell dinner was in place.

“All right.”

Felix had already spent a long time there, so it was time for him to return home. Moreover, a plethora of

things needing his attention had been lined up for him at Northley Group.

“It will probably take some time to build things up over here.” It was impossible to establish a new

system of governance through one competition. Hence, Tristan and Sophie were expected to stay back

longer.

“Mm. I’ll resolve all matters as soon as possible and then return to prepare for our wedding.” Tristan

could not wait any longer, even though the occasion was still several months away.

“There’s no rush. I’ll stay here with you until everything is resolved, and then we’ll head back together.”

Anyway, Bertram can’t handle so many things here by himself.

“Go ahead and get yourself changed, then.” He led her to the bedside before leaving the room, waiting

outside like a gentleman.

Sophie could not take a bath due to her menstruation, so she took a brief shower, changed her clothes,

and went out.

As Ysabelle and the others were leaving the following day, the dinner prepared that night was very

scrumptious. After witnessing how Sophie carried herself earlier, the men at the base started

addressing her by her name upon seeing her.

Those guys had always admired the strong. At first, they felt that a beautiful girl like Sophie was not

good enough for Tristan. However, that thought disappeared the moment they saw what she did that

day. Her actions had silenced all discussions about her being unworthy of Tristan.

Sophie is definitely deserving of Mr. Tristan! At present, she had totally become their goddess.

“Goddess!”

“Goddess!”

“Goddess!”

Ysabelle’s lips curled into a smile when she saw that everyone adored Sophie. As expected, our dear

Sophie in the shining star wherever she goes.

Bertram was the one who cheered the loudest.

Sophie had been so amazing that even the guys who had been around for the longest time couldn’t

help but hand it to her.

Shortly after, Tristan gestured for everyone to stop, and the crowd immediately quietened down. As

much as they liked Sophie, they had to show Tristan the respect he deserved, for he was their boss.

“Sit down and enjoy your meal, guys!” Those people had never been served a proper dish from their

hometown since the very day they arrived at the base.

Once the guys sat down, Tristan and Sophie took their seats too.

Bertram then poured a glass of warm water for Sophie.

“Ms. Tanner, I’d like to propose a toast to you. There aren’t a lot of people that I, Bertram Asher, admire

in this world, but I must say that you’re one of them. Yes, it’s true!”

He poured warm water for her but got himself a glass of whiskey that he had saved for ages. In fact, he

had to use some tricks to get that bottle of whiskey back then!

“You flatter me, Bert. What I did today was just all right. It wasn’t that exceptional.

“Sophie, if there’s anything you need in the future, feel free to let me know directly. I’ll do anything for

you without question,” the man stated excitedly.

“Sure. It’s a deal, my friend,” replied Sophie.

Bertram and the guys were very fond of her, and likewise, she enjoyed hanging out with them too

because they did not have an ulterior motive and made her feel at ease.

“Have a safe journey, Mr. Northley. I’m sorry that you had to go through so much because of me this

time.” Bertram was still a little guilty, for Tristan had asked him to take care of Felix, yet untoward

events happened.

Felix waved a hand, saying, “What are you talking about? We’re all comrades. Nobody wanted things

like that to happen.”

Moreover, I was captured because I wasn’t vigilant to begin with.

“I’ll pay you a visit and have another drink once the matters over here are resolved.” Bertram had

always been a frank and sincere person. He enjoyed the company of Felix and the rest too.

After Sophie took a sip of warm water, her lower abdomen felt so much better. Just like any other

typical girl during her menstrual period, she would experience

Due to the same reason, Tristan frowned upon seeing the food on the table. They were all too spicy

and not suitable for her to eat. Hence, he personally went and requested the chef to prepare several

other blander dishes.

It was not until the chef came to serve the newly prepared dishes that Sophie found out what he had

done behind her back earlier. This man is really so… sweet and thoughtful.

She held his hand and said, “Thank you.”

“There’s no need for you to say those two words to me. What I want to hear are another three special

words.

“Oh?”

“I love you!” Although Tristan knew she was just playing dumb, he still chose to declare his love for her

in the most straightforward manner. He had never felt a need to beat around the bush when it came to

expressing his love for her.

“I love you too,” she replied right away, knowing that was what he wanted to hear.

“Gee, Mr. Tristan! Can you two stop your public displays of affection? We’re setting off tomorrow, so

kindly offer us a glance,” teased Felix.

“What’s there to look at about you? I’ve been seeing your face for more than three decades now. I’m

sick of it,” Tristan jested. Subsequently, he scooped some food for Sophie. “Eat more to replenish your

energy.

Everyone dug in merrily. Felix could not drink alcohol yet, but Ysabelle drank quite a bit. After all, she

was never a pretentious woman.

When they woke up the next day, it was almost time to depart. After washing up. Ysabelle went to look

for Sophie.

“Sophie, I’m leaving soon. Take good care of yourself here, okay?” She was still concerned, for the

place was filled with men.

Sophie flung her arms open and hugged Ysabelle.

“Don’t worry! You know me well. I’m able to adapt wherever I am. You and Felix must be good to each

other when you’re back home.” Please don’t fight anymore. It’s not easy for two people to be together.

“Mm, I know.”

With that came the time to leave; Felix was already waiting outside.

After Sophie walked Ysabelle out, the latter entered the car and rolled down the window.

“Uncle Tristan, you must take good care of Sophie, understood?” reminded Ysabelle. “You must not

bully her, or else I-”

“Okay, that’s enough. Stop spewing nonsense, and get going! Hurry up and leave with Felix,” grumbled

Tristan. Why is this young lady so long-winded when she’s not even married yet?

Once again, Ysabelle was dismissed, but she simply rolled her eyes and shrugged it off. She would

tolerate Tristan’s impatience as long as everyone was well.
