Chapter 766 Alone Time

He seems to be in a good mood today. But isn't Lombard Group's annual party tonight?

“Don't worry. It's not like I'm going to sell you off. Just go and get changed,” Tristan said with a chuckle.

“All right,” Sophie replied.

He carried her to the bed, sat her down there, then went to the walk-in closet to get her outfit. It was clear that he

had already picked what she was to wear that day.

Tristan has a good eye, and I trust his taste in picking an outfit for me. However, why has he already taken the time

to pick what I'll wear? What on earth has he got planned? Despite her confusion, she did not ask any questions. She

merely looked at the clothes he laid out on the bed and said, “You can go out now. How am I going to get changed if

you don't leave?”

“I'll just turn around.” With that, he turned so that he faced away from her but showed no intention of leaving.

Hence, she had no choice but to gather the clothes in her arms and go to the walk-in closet. The closet was

spacious enough for her to get dressed inside.

Tristan had a hat and scarf in his hands by the time she had changed. When he saw her walk out, he immediately

helped her put them on.

“Where are we going?” Sophie asked, noting that they were in matching couple outfits. For some reason, he had

been very interested in matching outfits recently.

“We're going to Horington.”

His reply left her dumbstruck.

“Isn't your company having its annual party tonight? Why are we going to Horington?” she inquired. There's nothing

we need to do in Horington, and won't we be in a hurry to rush back for the annual party if we head there now?

“It's fine. We'll just come back tonight,” Tristan responded. The party takes place every year, so even if we don't

make it back in time, it doesn't matter. Besides, there are other members of senior management in the company.

It's not like I'm the only one. They can get on without me, can't they?

“All right. As long as it makes you happy.” Since she was not busy with anything recently, she decided to accompany

him to do anything and go anywhere he wished.

When Ysabelle called Sophie, the couple was already at the airport and about to board their flight.

“What? The two of you are flying to Horington? Whatever for?” Ysabelle was puzzled. It's nearly Christmas, and

there's nothing all that interesting in Horington, so why are they going there?

“I don't have a clue. Your uncle wants to go. Since it's something he wants to do, naturally, I'll go with him. I didn't

ask much.”

“Can I come along? The concert is over, and I've nothing else to do now, so I'll just go and join you guys!”

Before Sophie could respond, Tristan took the phone from her. “Ysabelle Lombard, can you stop being a third wheel

all the time and give us some space?”

After saying that, he ended the call.

Ysabelle suddenly felt lonely and unwanted as she listened to the dial tone. Am I just a third wheel? I'm his beloved

niece, aren't I? How could he shun me like that? Would they have been able to get together so easily if it hadn't

been for me? I let the fact that he didn't thank me slide, but now he's shutting me out. That's too much!

Just then, Felix walked in. His heart ached when he saw her looking so miserable.

“What's the matter? Who bullied you? If anyone dares to bully you, just let me know. I'll deal with that person

personally.” He was not about to stand by idly and watch her get hurt.

“Felix, Uncle Tristan called me a third wheel. How could he be so mean?”

Felix gazed at her without saying a word. So, it was Mr. Tristan! Now that I think about it, that makes sense. He's the

only person who'd dare to do that. No one else would dare to bully the Lombard family's precious little princess!

“Ysabelle, we need to talk about that. Mr. Tristan is a young, hot-blooded man, and Sophie is a woman he likes a lot.

It'll be inconvenient for him if you hang around them all the time, so you should be good and stay by my side.

Wouldn't it be nice for us to have some alone time?”

She grabbed the pillow next to her and threw it at him.

“Is that the only thing guys think about all day?” she demanded. Sophie is still so young, and she's so pure and

innocent. Uncle Tristan is basically a scumbag!

“What's wrong? It's normal for guys to feel that way toward the woman they like. If a guy didn't feel anything, that'd

be a big problem, okay?” he answered, stunned by her words. How does such a pure and innocent young lady still

exist in this day and age?

Fuming, Ysabelle jumped off the bed and reached for the clothes he had already prepared for her.

“Well, you're better off spending all the alone time you want with your dog! I'm going home!” She wanted to get

changed, but since Felix was there, she could only glare at him angrily.

“Why are you in such a hurry to go home? It's the holidays, and you've wrapped up your concert already. Just stay

here and spend a couple of days with me, okay?' he said, thinking about how she had been so busy recently that

she had not spent much time with him.

“No, that's not okay. I should go home. If my grandfather discovers I'm here with you, he'll break your legs for

sure.”

He fell silent. There was no denying that William was a scary man indeed.

“But we can't keep him in the dark forever, right?” He felt it was only a matter of time before William found out

about their relationship. Then, he added, “If I really end up getting crippled, will you still love me?”

Shaking her head immediately, Ysabelle replied, “No. If that happens, I'll dump you at the drop of a hat and find

myself another young and handsome hunk.”

He stared at her wordlessly. How heartless! I really don't know what I'm going to do about her.

Meanwhile, Tristan and Sophie had already boarded their plane. He held her hand the whole time with their fingers

interlaced, reluctant to let go for even a second.

“Tristan, do you think we would've still met if you hadn't gone to Horington back then?” She could not help

wondering if they would still be as happy as they were now if they were not in each other's lives.

“Of course!” Tristan answered. I dare not think what would've happened otherwise, and I'm glad I went to Horington

and wound-up meeting Sophie after getting tricked. The whole incident started on an unpleasant note. After all, I

nearly died because someone plotted against me, and I hate falling into traps. However, I got to know her because

of that, so it did turn out to be a good thing after all.

“Anyway, are you seriously not going to let me know what we're going to do there?” she asked. Although the plane

had already taken off, she still had no clue about the reason for their trip to Horington.

“I just suddenly had the urge to head there and take a look around. Besides, it's not like we have anything better to

do.”

Is he for real? Lombard Group's annual party is tonight! Is it really all right if he, the CEO, isn't present?

It was less than an hour's flight from Jipsdale to Horington. Upon touching down in Horington, they realized the

place was much warmer than Jipsdale and that they had worn too many layers.

“How could I have forgotten it isn't cold during winters in Horington?” she remarked while removing her hat and

scarf. It has been a while since I was last here. Thinking about it now, everything that happened here seems like a

dream. The city became a place of warmth and love because of Tristan!
