Chapter 991 What About My Age
Changing only for her (Sophie and Tristan)
âItâs almost time. As busy as we are, we still need to get the preparations done.â
It had been a long time since the Lombard family had any celebratory events, so they wanted to make
this one as grand as possible.
âDonât worry, Dad! I know what I have to do.â There was no way he would mess up his own wedding.
âYeah, I know you do. I just hope I can be of some help, thatâs all.â
A man of his age didnât have much to do at home, so helping out would be a great way to keep his
mind busy.
âWeâll help keep an eye on things, Dad. You donât have to worry about it at all.â Sarah was worried
about Williamâs well-being as well. Although he was in great health, she didnât want an old man like him
to overwork himself.
âHonestly, you guysâ¦â William let out a frustrated sigh and shifted his gaze toward Sarah as he asked,
âSarah, how are things going between you and Juan? If it doesnât work out, then you will have to
undergo some matchmaking. I want to see you get married before I kick the bucket!â
Sarah lost her appetite the moment she heard him mention Juan.
âWhy would you bring him up, Dad? Weâre having a family moment here!â She did not want to talk
about Juan at all.
Having liked him for such a long time, she still hoped to get together with him even though she knew it
wouldnât be easy.
William could only let out a helpless sigh when he saw that Sarah refused to talk about her relationship.
Everything about Sarah is great, so why does she struggle so much when it comes to relationships?
Not wanting to draw any more of Williamâs attention to herself, Sarah kept quiet and ate her food in
silence.
Felix and Ysabelle simply exchanged glances and continued eating in silence as well.
Even so, there was no avoiding the inevitable. âFelix!â William called out to him.
âYes, Grandpa?â He had started calling William âGrandpaâ to match Ysabelle.
âIâm warning you; Ysabelle is still young, so you had better not cross the line with her!â William still
didnât like Felix, but there wasnât much he could do about it because Ysabelle liked him.
Felix choked on his food when he heard that. He had never felt this awkward at the dining table.
Ysabelle, too, burned bright red almost instantly.
William couldnât bring himself to talk about it to Ysabelle, so he had to warn them in a roundabout way
instead. Even so, she knew exactly what he was talking about.
Sophie was the only person at the table that William did not lecture.
The group then sat down for a chat after having a fulfilling meal.
âHow are things going between you and Juan, Aunt Sarah? Youâve liked him for so many years now.
Given how old the two of you are, I think you two should just get married!â Ysabelle asked as she
recalled seeing Juan pester Sarah yesterday. She believed that there was no need for them to drag
things out.
âWhat do you mean by that? Are you saying that people of our age have no right to enjoy the dating
process?â
While it was true that she had liked Juan for many years, she believed that a proper dating process
was still a must.
Everybody, regardless of age, should experience the dating process before getting into a marriage.
In fact, marriage should never be seen as the ultimate goal.
âJust do what makes you happy, Sarah. Nothing else matters,â Sophie said.
She truly believed that Sarah could just continue dating for the rest of her life.
After all, there was no rule that said marriage was compulsory for a relationship.
âYou know me so well, Sophie!â Sarah exclaimed. She enjoyed the way things were at the time, and
marriage was no guarantee of happiness either.
âLetâs go get a facial this afternoon! I think a woman of my age needs to take good care of my face,â
Sarah suggested.
âI have never had one.â Ysabelle said. She believed she was still young enough to not need such
things.
âCome with me, then! Youâll love how good it makes you feel!â Sarah believed that women should have
a habit of taking good care of their skin regardless of their age.
Ysabelle turned toward Sophie and asked, âAre you going. Sophie? Iâll go if you go.â Since she had a
lot of haters lately, Ysabelle figured she could use a break.
âI donât have anything important to do today, so Iâll go with you two,â Sophie replied.
Just like that, the three of them headed over to a beauty salon later that afternoon. Sophic and
Ysabelle had really fair and smooth skin, so they didnât actually need anything beyond a hydrating
treatment.
âHonestly, I really envy you two. It sure is nice to be young!â Sarah commented. Once women hit thirty,
their bodies would undergo a lot of changes and show visible signs of aging.
âYou look amazing for your age, Aunt Sarah!â Ysabelle exclaimed. Very few women looked this great in
their thirties.
âIf possible, I would like to remain twenty forever. Thatâs the best age to be in!â Sarah said. After all,
one could do whatever one wanted at the age of twenty.
âDonât say that, Sarah. There is beauty in every age.â Sophie felt that the hydrating treatment she had
was good enough for her, so she sat there and waited for them to complete their treatments.
âDo you two think I should get a botulinum toxin injection?â Sarah asked with a serious look on her face
as the three of them left the beauty salon.
Sophie and Ysabelle exchanged confused glances when they heard that. She looks fine the way she
is, so why would she ask something like that?
Having witnessed how terrifying celebrities looked after getting botulinum toxin injections, Ysabelle
exclaimed, âYou have no need for that stuff at all, Aunt Sarah! Please donât even think about it!â
âBelieve me when I say this, Sarah. You have no need for botulinum toxin injections at all. You look
great just the way you are.â
Being thirty isnât that bad! At least, itâs not as scary as she says!
âRelax, you two! Iâm just kidding!â Sarah reassured them. The three then headed over to a mall to do
some shopping.
As Sarah needed to take good care of her skin, she bought lots of skincare products.
After that, they visited a few high-end clothing stores.
Sarah was a wealthy woman who never hesitated to invest in her appearance.
In just a little over an hour, she had purchased two dresses, a business suit, and two pairs of leather
shoes.
Ysabelle was frozen in shock when she saw that.
She had always considered herself a shopaholic, but Sarah was leagues ahead of her.
âCome on, letâs keep it going!â Sarah even had her secretary deliver the stuff she bought to her house
so she could continue shopping.
Sophie shook her head. âIâm tired, Sarah. Letâs go get something to drink!â
She couldnât bring herself to walk any further.
âSure thing! Weâll continue shopping after we have some drinks! By the way, have you and Tristan
bought your rings yet? Maybe we can check out the jewelry stores later.â Since they would be getting
married soon, it was about time they bought their rings.
