Chapter 868
Changing Only For Her
Sophie took a rest after she was done with her work at TS Entertainment. By then, Ysabelleâs album was ranked first in several music streaming applications. Well, one has to admit Ysabelleâs album is nothing short of a hit! No matter what others say, excellent songs speak for themselves, so nothing can stop the album from getting the recognition it deserves. This album is going to propel Ysabelle to greater heights and make her a superstar!
âLetâs go! You havenât eaten anything, right?â Tristan asked. Ever since the press conference, she hasnât had a proper rest.
âYeah, letâs go. We should check on Ysabelle and have dinner at the Lombard residence.â Sophie hadnât seen Ysabelle since the incident unfolded.
âSure!â
The couple bumped into The Wheelers on their way out. Naturally, The Wheelers had also heard about the incident.
âSophie, how is Ysabelle doing? Although what happened was common in this industry, sheâs still a young girl, so she mustâve been shaken!â Mark asked in a worried tone. The members of The Wheelers were fond of Ysabelle. However, they couldnât go and visit Ysabelle because their schedule was packed.
âShe was frightened, but sheâs doing fine. Sheâs not as frail as others think!â Despite looking delicate and adorable, Ysabelle was actually a tough girl.
âGood to know. Should we go see her?â Sunny suggested. After all, weâre free now.
âNot now, perhaps. Felix is with her now,â Sophie answered.
âAll right, then! I actually want to see her very badly.â Sunny pouted, for he was quite fond of Ysabelle.
âSheâll be back at TS Entertainment tomorrow. We should just let her get enough rest at home today,â
Sophie said. If The Wheelers were to go over, Ysabelle wouldnât get to rest at all.
âOkay!â
Tristan wrapped his arm around Sophieâs waist, and the couple walked toward the exit of the building together. Mark and the others seem very concerned about Ysabelle.
With that in mind, Tristan uttered, âActually, they can visit Ysabelle if they want to. Itâs not a big deal.â
âForget it. Ysabelle is now at the Lombard residence. Considering your dadâs age, a crowd will only tire him out,â Sophie replied. There are already so many people in the house.
By the time Tristan and Sophie arrived at the Lombard residence, the housekeepers were already done preparing dinner.
However, Ysabelle was still in her room, and Felix remained by her side the whole time.
âSomeone get them to come downstairs! Itâs been so long, and theyâre still cooped up inside the room.
This is outrageous!â William uttered in displeasure. That bratâs getting bolder by the day! How dare he stay in Ysabelleâs room for such a long time? Does he not know itâs inappropriate?
âIâll go get them!â Sarah got up from the couch. I canât believe these two youngsters. Theyâre totally out of line! They know how irritated Dad can get. Why would they stay in the room for so long?
The second Sarah arrived upstairs, Felix had already opened the door to the room. Apparently, Williamâs voice was too loud to ignore, so he had no choice but to exit the room.
Sarah arched a brow when she saw Felix. âFelix, youâve always behaved decently. Whatâs the matter with you today?â she asked. Although theyâre in a relationship, they shouldnât behave so brazenly in the Lombard residence.
âSarah, Iâm just worried about leaving Ysabelle alone, so I stayed in her room to be with her. Please donât overthink. I know what Iâm doing,â Felix answered. Even if I wanted to do anything with Ysabelle, I wouldnât do it here.
âWhatâs the matter with you guys, Aunt Sarah?â Ysabelle grumbled. Felix didnât do anything else other than keep me company. Theyâre embarrassing us!
âAll right. Itâs getting late. Letâs go down for dinner.â Sarah didnât want to comment further. Despite being slightly older than them, she wasnât a conservative person.
Still, Sarah added, âI donât care what you guys were doing in the room, but please respect your grandpa. Okay?â
Ysabelle was rendered speechless. What? We werenât even doing anything inappropriate!
Felix saw how adorable Ysabelle looked when she pouted grumpily, so he pinched her cheek and said, âItâs okay. Thereâs no need to argue, all right? No matter what happens, Iâll face the consequences.â
âOkay!â Ysabelle responded. I donât care what everyone else says. Iâm into Felix, and thatâs a fact no one can change.
Ysabelle saw Sophie and Tristan the moment she arrived downstairs, and she immediately dashed toward Sophie to sit next to her.
âSophie, howâs my new album doing? Did the sales get affected?â Ysabelle asked. Iâve been asleep all this while, and I havenât even had the time to deal with it!
âWhatâs there to worry about with me handling the issue? Donât worry. Here! Have a look yourself.â
Sophie handed her phone to Ysabelle.
Ysabelle felt relieved right away when she saw the rankings on several major music charts.
âI love you so much, Sophie! I knew it! You can do anything!â Ysabelle exclaimed. I thought my album would be ruined! Who wouldâve thought the situation would turn out much better than I had expected?
âI told you, didnât I? As long as Iâm around, all your problems will be solved,â Sophie replied confidently.
Those words rendered Felix speechless. Why do I feel so incompetent when Sophie is around? Sheâs taking over my role!
âI love you, Sophie! Youâre the best!â Ysabelle was over the moon. At that instant, all her troubles seemed to have vanished.
âThatâs enough. Letâs eat! Itâs already so late. Arenât you guys hungry at all?â William huffed.
Hearing that, Ysabelle said in a cute tone, âI know you were also worried about me, Grandpa! Donât worry, everyone! Iâm all right.â As a matter of fact, Ysabelle knew that it wasnât a big deal and that she was merely shaken up.
âGood.â William didnât comment further. All that matters is her happiness. After all, sheâs the precious little princess of the Lombard family.
After dinner, Ysabelle kept staring at her phone to look at the ranking she got. âI have a question for you, Sophie. The ranking I got is legit, right? Did you pay the music charts to make this happen?â
Sophie was caught off guard by that question. âYsabelle, youâve always been confident in your album, no? The recognition you got shouldnât be that surprising.â
Ysabelle felt embarrassed. âI know, and I have full confidence in my album. However, I didnât expect it to do so well.â That was why Ysabelle was skeptical.
Ysabelle then hugged Sophie and said, âWhat would I do without you, Sophie?â I couldnât have gotten to where I am today without Sophie.
âEven without me, you would still be successful,â Sophie responded. I merely provided Ysabelle with the opportunity, and the rest is up to her. If she werenât capable, no amount of money could buy her success.
âWell, nothing can change the love I have for you!â Ysabelle was love-struck. Felix saw how she acted, and he wasnât pleased.
