Chapter 773

“What’s the matter? Do you not like me?” Felix couldn’t help but ask upon hearing that.

“I do like you, but I think I’m too young right now to worry about so many problems.” While Ysabelle enjoyed the upsides of a relationship, she was afraid to take things further when she thought about the problems she would face.

She liked what they had at that moment, so she didn’t want their relationship to change.

“You’re a jerk, do you know that? I think you just want to play with my feelings and don’t want to take responsibility,” he blurted aggrievedly. Why did I fall in love with such a heartless woman?

In response, she pushed him. “Are you for real, Felix? I didn’t say I don’t want to take responsibility. I simply think it isn’t time yet.”

Felix sighed in his mind. I have no idea what to do with this cold-blooded woman. Then again, I chose to fall in love with her, so I guess I’ll have to keep doting on her.

“Don’t you have a home, Felix? Take your woman back with you right now!” Tristan barked. Can’t I spend time with Sophie without getting bothered by them?

“It’s not like you can do anything during the day, so why are you chasing us away, Uncle Tristan?”

Ysabelle pouted.

Tristan’s expression darkened.

When Felix caught sight of that, he immediately grabbed Ysabelle’s hand and left the room with her.

“Even if it was the truth, you shouldn’t have said that out loud.” Doesn’t she know how scary he can be?

“Coward!” Ysabelle still wanted to go back in, so Felix carried her away.

Smacking his back, she exclaimed, “What are you doing, Felix? Let me go! If someone takes a picture of us, how will you explain this when it goes viral? I’m a famous singer right now, you know?”

“What’s there to explain? We don’t need to say anything about our relationship to outsiders,” he remarked. I’m her boyfriend. Why is she acting like it’s embarrassing for us to be spotted together?

After the couple left, Tristan felt reinvigorated. Upon turning his head back, he saw Sophie staring at her computer screen. What is she doing? “Don’t you think you should rest during your time off? You’ve been busy for the whole year.”

“Do you need something?” Sophie thought the recent television programs were boring.

Thus, rather than staring at each other, she preferred to spend her time fiddling with her computer.

“I don’t know what to do with you sometimes,” grumbled Tristan. I thought we could spend some quality time together after chasing those two away, but she’s still distracted by her matters.

After placing the laptop on the coffee table, she snuggled up against him. “What’s the matter?”

“Let’s take a dip in the hot spring! This weather is perfect for that,” he proposed. I spent so much money buying that hot spring resort because I thought it would benefit her to soak in a hot spring, considering how easily she gets cold.

“Okay! Let’s invite Ysabelle and the others to join us, too! The more, the merrier! It’s boring if it’s just the two of us.”

“Sure. As long as you’re willing to go out, we can invite anyone you like.”

Immediately, Sophie called Ysabelle to invite her to the hot spring resort. When Charles and Sean learned of the news, they asked to join, too.

Upon arriving at the resort, Sophie realized Winter was among those who came.

Earlier, Winter had to coax Charles to bring her there.

Since she hadn’t bothered Sophie and the others recently, her behavior had been deemed acceptable.

When Ysabelle saw Winter, she was a little speechless. Did she come here to torture herself? She has to know no one here welcomes her, right? Yet, she’s here. “Sophie, about Winter—”

“Just ignore her. She’s still Charles’ sister, so if she wants to join, he can’t really say no to her,” Sophie interjected.

“I just don’t like her! She tried to hurt you in the past.” Being forgiving wasn’t a trait Ysabelle possessed.

No one can change what happened in the past.

“All right, just go change your clothes. Didn’t you say you wanted to take a dip in the hot spring?”

After learning Sophie was at the hot spring resort, Cecelia went there too because she didn’t have much going on lately.

“I’m sorry, miss, but the resort is closed today. Please visit another day,” the security guard informed.

Seeing that the guard didn’t appear to be joking, Cecelia called Sophie immediately as she knew it’d be pointless to argue with him. “I’m outside the resort right now, Sophie, and I can’t get in. Please come out here to let me in.”

“All right, I’ll head to the entrance now,” said Sophie before hanging up.

“Who is it?” Tristan asked.

“Cecelia. She’s here too, but the security guard denied her entry.” The resort was closed for the day because the gang was there.

In response, he turned to Sean. “Go get Cecelia!”

Sean had been busy recently but had some free time since it was almost Christmas. In any case, he obeyed Tristan’s order and went to get Cecelia.

When Cecelia saw him, she thought, Doesn’t he feel cold wearing white casual wear in this icy weather? Still, I must say, he’s quite the modest and reserved man. If he were to join the entertainment industry, I bet he’d get lots of attention, even with that expressionless face of his.

Upon arriving before her, he noticed she was staring absentmindedly at him.

“Let’s go!” He would always treat other women dispassionately.

“Mhm.” Suddenly, Cecelia felt her heart flutter for a moment. He’s handsome, but he’s way too unapproachable. Besides, he’s already in love with someone else. I can’t fall for a man like him.

Otherwise, I’ll only get hurt.

When Ysabelle saw the two of them approaching the gang, she whispered next to Sophie’s ear. “Sean and Cecelia look like a good match for each other.”

Sophie shook her head. “Forget about it. Sean is already in love with someone else. Don’t torment Cecelia.” Cecelia’s relatively pure. I don’t want to see her get hurt.

Cecelia, who overheard their conversation, nodded. “Don’t worry, Sophie. I won’t fall for a tough nut like him.” I’m definitely incapable of handling someone like Sean.

“All right, since everyone has arrived, let’s get changed!” Originally, Tristan wanted to spend some time alone with Sophie. It doesn’t seem like that’s going to happen now. I guess the men and women will have to stick with their gendered group.
