Pursuing Her

Chapter 571

The other people present dared not speak a word upon hearing what Jennifer had said. Everyone in Lombard Group knows how infatuated Mr. Tristan is with his girlfriend. This woman is digging her own grave for bad-mouthing his girlfriend!

Tristan responded, “It seems to me that you're tired of living, Jennifer Whitley!” His voice was utterly cold, while his gaze was sharp.

Jennifer had never seen him in such a demeanor, but it did not deter her from uttering the following words. “What I said is true! If you don't believe me, take a look at this!”

Just as she was about to fish her phone out of her purse, Tristan called the security guards over.

“Moving forward, I don't want this woman to appear around me anymore. Throw her out right now!” he bellowed.

Everyone knew he had lost his temper.

The security guards dragged Jennifer out before she could say anything else. “Mr. Tristan...”

Sean walked up to Tristan and said, “All right, calm down. It's not worth throwing a fit over a woman like that.”

Jennifer sure isn't as capable as others claim. Being love-struck caused her to do crazy things. She's practically courting death.

“Yeah! Come on, let's go and grab a bite. We all can tell how deeply in love Sophie is with you. Jennifer

is just trying to sow discord between you two. Just ignore her,” Felix chimed in immediately.

Others might not know of this, but I've always been around Mr. Tristan, so I know best just how besotted Sophie is with him. No one can ever break them apart.

Tristan responded with a deep grunt.

While making their way to the restaurant, he decided to call Sophie because he missed her all of a sudden. If it were not for the important conference he had to attend in the afternoon, he would have gone to look for her directly.

When Sophie received the call, she was about to return to her condominium after finishing her meal.

“Where are you?” Tristan spoke in his charming voice.

His voice seemed to have the power to relax her.

“I just took my lunch and am returning to the condominium. How about you? Have you eaten?” she asked. Aware that Tristan had been busy in the last couple of days, she did not have lunch with him on that day.

“I'm going to the restaurant now,” he answered.

“All right, enjoy your lunch. I'll be arriving at my condominium shortly.” Sophie wanted him to rest during his break instead of talking to her over the phone. After all, he must have been busy the entire morning.

“Don't hang up first. I want to listen to your voice. I miss you,” Tristan said straightforwardly.

Sean, Charles, and Felix could not help but look at each other in disbelief. They were amazed that a man like Tristan could be so sentimental. Do all men get mushy when they're in love?

Over the other end of the line, Sophie's lips quirked into a grin.

“Didn't we just see each other in the morning?” she asked. It had only been a few hours since they last saw each other.

“That doesn't mean I miss you less,” he replied. I might have only been away from her for less than four hours, but I'm missing her already. What else can I do?

“Sophie, what should I do? I don't think I can survive without you.” Tristan would always feel immense pangs of heartache whenever he thought of the possibility of her leaving him.

“What are you talking about? Why do you sound like you're leaving me? Even if you want to, I won't let you go,” Sophie said. I'll never allow that to happen.

He let out a soft grunt in response.

After listening to her voice, he eventually regained his composure. The feelings she brings upon me are overwhelmingly strong. There's no way I can live without her. Even to the day I die, I will not let go of her.

“No one can make you leave me. I'll kill anyone who dares to make you ditch me!” Sophie declared. There's no way I'll allow that to happen. NôvelD(ram)a.ôrg owns this content.

Likewise, she was just as obsessed with Tristan. How can I ever bring myself to leave him? He's the only man I'll ever love.

“Stop overthinking, Tristan. We'll always be together. I'll never give up on us.” She was not someone who would give in easily. No one can tear us apart.

Once again, Tristan grunted softly in acknowledgment.

Sophie's reassurance had instantly calmed him down. She's right. No one can break us apart, no matter how hard they try.

Her voice sounded again. “Have you reached the restaurant?”

“Yeah, we've just arrived.”

The car stopped in front of the entrance of a pizza place.

“Enjoy your lunch, and don't let your imagination run wild anymore, okay?” Sophie smiled as she spoke. By then, she had entered her condominium after opening the door.

“Okay! I'll pick you up in the afternoon!” Tristan wanted to dine with her later as they had not had a proper meal together for a long while.

“All right. I have an anatomy class in the afternoon. I'll give you a call once my class is over. You can come and fetch me after that!” Sophie felt bad for keeping him waiting all the time.

“Got it. You should take a nap now!” he said. She should get some rest since she's always so busy. An afternoon nap will definitely make her feel better.

Sophie replied, “Okay!”

With much reluctance, they ended the call.

Sean and the others shook their heads in disbelief. They never thought Tristan would be as love-struck as that. It's crazy to see how clingy he became!

After turning around and glancing at the dumbfounded men, Tristan walked away unbothered with the phone in his hand. “Why did you guys stop walking? I thought you were hungry?”

“We're not hungry anymore after listening to all your sweet nothings,” Charles teased. We must brace ourselves for more public displays of affection whenever we're around him!

“If that's the case, you should skip lunch instead of wasting food. Anti-food waste is a thing. You know that, right?” Tristan uttered.

Charles chuckled and caught up with him.

“Don't worry, Mr. Tristan. Sophie will never leave a man like you!” he reassured. Even I wouldn't let him go if I were a woman!

“Not everyone thinks like you,” Tristan responded, but deep in his heart, he believed he had all the qualities every woman looked for in a man, not to mention that he treated Sophie very well.

She can't bear to leave me, can she? Even if she does, I'll cling to her and not let her go.

“But are you not interested in finding out what Jennifer was talking about?” Felix was curious.

Tristan replied, “Why should I? She's just jealous of my relationship with Sophie. I don't understand what she sees in me!”

“You're just asking the obvious. Who in Jipsdale doesn't swoon over you, Mr. Tristan?” Charles said. It's as if he doesn't know himself well! I bet most ladies from the prominent families in Jipsdale are dying to marry him!

Yet, Tristan found that to be a total nuisance. “But their interest in me troubles me. I just want to be happy with Sophie. I don't wish to be disturbed by them!”

His response rendered Charles speechless.

I truly don't know how to reply to that. Any man who has a tough time finding a girlfriend will surely pick a fight with Mr. Tristan for making that remark, even if he knows Mr. Tristan will beat him to a pulp!

“What exactly did Sophie say to you just now? You seem to have turned into another person after getting off the call with her!” Charles asked. I'm not exaggerating at all!
