Chapter 179 Hugging And Kissing Finally, when things were about to get out of hand, Tristan flipped over and rolled to the side. He lay on the couch and panted heavily.

Such a feeling is truly tormenting!

Sophie’s face and ears were flaming.

Indeed, she had sensed the change within him earlier. It was her first time being so intimate with a man, so she didn’t quite know what to do then.

After calming himself down for several minutes, Tristan pulled her into his arms.

“I’m sorry. Did I scare you just now?” I must have been frightening earlier, huh? No matter how capable she is, she’s still an eighteen-year-old girl in the face of romantic relationships.

Sophie said nothing, so he continued, “I apologize for almost losing control. But I can’t help it either. In front of you, the self-restraint I’ve always prided myself on hasn’t the slightest effect.”

“Mr. Tristan.” The instant Sophie spoke, she was startled by her hoarse voice. So, it turns out that he affects me this much.

Satisfaction inundated Tristan when he heard her raspy voice. From the look of things, I do have an effect on her to a certain degree. Otherwise, she wouldn’t sound like this.

Glimpsing his grin, Sophie grew utterly chagrined. She pinched him hard at the waist.

“Don’t laugh.”

“Okay, I won’t laugh. I’m really happy, Sophie. I’m glad I do have an effect on you and you’re not entirely indifferent toward me.”

Sophie broke free from his embrace.

“I’m tired. I’m going to bed.”

In other words, he merely wanted to conquer me? Because I’m aloof, I attract the attention of men?

Upon seeing that she was seemingly angry, Tristan immediately went after her, pulled her into his arms, and hugged her tightly.

“I’ve always been serious about you. You should know this, right?” He found it necessary to clarify that, for he felt that he might have gotten a little carried away earlier.

“Yeah.”

In truth, she was cognizant of everything he had done for her lately. It was just that she was slow to open up to others.

However, she would always remember those who were good to her.

And he was clearly different from others.

Nevertheless, she didn’t want to make a decision about their relationship so early. In many things, she felt that it was more important to prioritize the present. As for the ending, she could accept whatever might come.

“I’m not mad. All right, go home.”

“I don’t want to go home. Can I stay? Don’t worry. The most I’ll do is hug and kiss you. I won’t do anything else.”

No matter what, I’ll wait until she’s twenty years old before going any further. She’s still too young. I won’t be so imprudent.

“What else do you want, then?” Is hugging and kissing not enough?

“I want another kiss.”

Taking a mile when he was given an inch, Tristan pecked her on the lips.

“Okay, go and sleep! Remember to lock your door. I’m not confident in myself,” he joked.

A lock can only constrain a gentleman. If it’s a rogue, the best lock in the world won’t be able to keep him out, no?

“You should rest earlier, too. Don’t sleep too late.”

It was almost bedtime then, so he should also be going to sleep.

“Okay, I’ll sleep in a while. Don’t worry! For your sake, I’ll definitely take good care of myself.” Tristan was much older than her, so he was worried that he wouldn’t be able to keep her company until she was old if he didn’t take good care of himself.

Because he loved her too much, he wanted to walk with her until the end of the road.

After returning to her room, Sophie plopped down on the bed. Alas, she didn’t feel drowsy at all. It was a strange feeling. For the very first time, she was losing sleep over a man.

I wonder if he’s still working at this hour.

All of a sudden, she clutched at her hair.

“D*mn it! I’ve forgotten to have him bring Ysabelle out tomorrow to attend the concert!” Annoyance swamped her.

Ugh! Beauty really turns one’s head around! But since he’s staying over tonight, I can just tell him about it tomorrow.

Since she couldn’t sleep, she picked her phone up and took a look at her WhatsApp.

Mark had sent her a few messages.

Mark: You must attend the concert tomorrow!

Mark: If you don’t come, I’ll sever my friendship with you.

Mark: Never mind. Even if you don’t show up, I can forgive you. Let’s not sever our friendship.

Mark: You’re a heartless woman. So you won’t be affected even if I sever our friendship!

In the end, he even attached a crying emoticon.

Good Lord! He spammed me!

Sophie replied: I’ll definitely attend the concert tomorrow. But don’t ask me to go on stage. Otherwise, I’ll really get mad.

Having replied to the messages, she was just planning to sleep when she received a call from Mark.

“Are you really coming tomorrow, Sophie? For real?”

“Yeah, I’ll be coming tomorrow. All right, go and get some rest. It’ll be exhausting for you during the concert, so don’t waste your time with this.” They were a rock band, so having a concert would be exceedingly enervating.

“Sophie, are you really not planning to come back? If you return, I’ll give you the main vocalist position.

What do you say?” Mark sounded rather meek.

Sophie went silent.

She really had no interest in joining the entertainment industry. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have left back then.

“When are you guys releasing your next album? If the time permits, I’ll write a song for you guys.” That was the only thing she could do.

“Really? Okay, then!”

Well, this is acceptable, too.

After exchanging a few more words with her, Mark hung up the phone reluctantly. Despite being the main vocalist, he was pitifully servile.

He really hoped that Sophie would return.

After all, she was the soul of The Wheelers in truth.

“Mark, I’ll be frank with you. I’ll never join the entertainment industry. If I’ve got the time, I can write a few songs for you guys. But if I don’t, I can’t do anything about it either.”

“Oh well, no matter what, you’ll undoubtedly be The Wheelers’ main vocalist as long as you’re willing to come back!”

Neither of them betrayed the other. But since she didn’t want to return, he wouldn’t coerce her either.

There was no rule that a group of like-minded friends would certainly walk with each other until the very end.

But then, she was really a very talented main vocalist.

In fact, she had taught him a lot.

She had written songs for The Wheelers, but they didn’t release those songs without her permission after she left. He believed that if they were released, they would definitely top the charts since she could grasp the real essence of a rock band.

“Besides, you guys can also use the songs I wrote previously.”

I’ve always forgotten to apologize to them.

“I’m really sorry for leaving without a single word. But I’m also happy for you all that you’re so renowned now.”

Without a doubt, The Wheelers’ fame will persist because they have the best main vocalist, and their band has the soul of a real rock band.

“Don’t apologize. You didn’t wrong anyone. You merely followed your heart, so we can all accept that.

In the future, don’t avoid us anymore. We’re still friends, aren’t we?” In the beginning, Mark couldn’t let it go, as they had traversed the most difficult times together. But by then, it had all passed.
