Chapter 173 Tristan Has Not Tasted The Holy Grail
“Tell Tanny that if he’s bogged down by work, he doesn’t have to come, as I’m almost fully
recovered.” There’s no need for him to be at two places at the same time.
“I will. You should focus on resting and not worry about such matters.” No sooner had Sophie finished
than the door opened with Morgan and Tristan walking in.
One could tell from the tailor-made suit he was wearing that he had come from the office.
Tristan looked so dashing in his outfit that it was hard for anyone to peel their eyes away.
“Mr. Tristan, please have a seat. I’ll take care of these.” Morgan took over the dinner that Tristan
had brought with him.
“Why did you come? Aren’t you supposed to be busy?”
“I have to be here regardless of how busy I am. Besides, it’s not anything that’s particularly important.
So, Old Mr. Tanner, how do you feel today?” Tristan asked with concern.
“Tanny, I’m almost fully recovered and will be discharged in a few days. There’s no need to trouble
yourself traveling back and forth.” Both of them were exhausted, fussing over Josiah’s affairs. “You too,
Soph. It’s about time you go back to school. Your exams kick off on Monday.”
At the end of the day, she was still a student who should be prioritizing her studies.
Furthermore, the one-month deadline was almost upon her. Can I really take on the role of acting CEO
of Tanner Group? Those were the issues that were constantly on her mind.
“Mm-hmm. I know. I’ll be punctual for my exams on Monday.” No matter what, she resolved to
participate in the physics competition that was going to be held after the holidays.
“My point is for you to go to school tomorrow. Even though you have a good grasp of your lessons, the
revisions for the term exam are still very important. As my granddaughter, you always have to take
everything you do seriously. Do you understand?”
To him, the result was secondary. What mattered was that she would always do her best.
Sophie fell silent.
“What’s wrong? Aren’t you going to listen to me? Have dinner with me now, and get Tanny to send you
back home to rest so that you can attend school tomorrow.”
“All right. In that case, promise me that you’ll obey whatever Arius says in the hospital.”
Sophie’s mind was put at ease after placing him under Arius’ care. Coincidentally, he had yet to return
to Anglandur.
“Fine. I promise.”
Once they were done with dinner, Tristan drove Sophie back to Wisteria Apartments.
“Rest early.” Tristan had to leave as he had other engagements.
“Mr. Tristan, about Clayton, do you need me—”
“It’s fine. I can handle him.” Tristan reassured her, “Everything is under control.”
Clayton is no more than an insect who doesn’t even deserve my attention.
“Anyway, I’m heading back out.”
“Mm-hmm. Go ahead.” When Sophie walked to the door to see him out, she gave him a curious look
when he hesitated to leave.
What is he waiting for?
“Mr. Tristan, is there anything else?”
Reaching out his hand, Tristan pulled her into his arms before giving her a kiss on her forehead.
“What am I to do? At the sight of you, I no longer want to leave. Instead, I feel the urge to stay by your
side.”
Sophie was rendered speechless.
How is this my fault? I didn’t even do anything!
“Mr. Tristan!” Sophie gently pushed him away before staggering back. “Go!”
“In that case, just give me a kiss. Once you kiss me, I’ll be motivated to leave.” Tristan decided to adopt
a different approach.
Nonetheless, the sudden change in his demeanor gave Sophie a shock.
“Mr. Tristan!” Even though she had developed feelings for him, it was still not in her character to wear
her heart on her sleeve.
Tristan sighed in resignation.
“It’s all right. I’ll wait for the day when you’ll take the initiative.” Tristan planted the gentlest of pecks on
her lips before leaving quickly.
If he didn’t leave soon, he was worried that he would be overwhelmed by his growing desire to stay.
By the time Tristan arrived at Blossom Garden, the other three were already waiting. Felix quickly
pulled out a bench to welcome him.
“Didn’t we agree to meet in twenty minutes? What took you so long? Were you doing something
unspeakable with Sophie?”
“Felix, what are you thinking? If both of them were really doing it, it would be impossible for Mr. Tristan
to get here in twenty minutes. At the very least, he would need two hours. My guess is that Mr. Tristan
hasn’t yet tasted the Holy Grail,” Charles teased.
Without any hesitation, Sean nodded while adding, “That’s true. With Mr. Tristan’s stamina, two hours
would be the minimum.”
Felix, too, nodded in agreement.
“Mr. Tristan, I’m sorry to have underestimated your capabilities. Given how enamored you are with
Sophie, I’m sure Sophie will not be able to escape your clutches for three days and nights during your
first escapade together.
Felix had barely finished when the other three burst into laughter.
“The three of you look like you’re enjoying yourselves. Now that my enemy is at my gates, all of you
don’t seem to be bothered, is that it?” Despite Tristan’s calm tone, it was enough to send a chill down
everyone’s spine.
“Mr. Tristan, Clayton is desperate to make his presence felt. Since he has a death wish, why don’t you
help him along his journey?”
Despite the Zales family’s influence, they were still insignificant insects compared to them.
Sean nodded.
“Exactly! The Zales family is no match for us at all.” Even though Clayton might prove troublesome, he
didn’t pose a threat to their combined strength.
“Mm-hmm. Since he wants to play, let’s oblige him. Besides, my hand is itching to get back into the
game after so long.” A devious look descended upon Charles’ face.
Since he had his dinner with Sophie, all Tristan did was pour himself a glass of wine.
“Mr. Tristan, when you busied yourself with Old Mr. Tanner’s affairs over the last few days. I must say
that I have never seen you care so much about anyone.” At that moment, Sean felt that Tristan was
serious.
“Love makes people blind,” Felix joked.
“Felix, look who’s talking? You had better mind your own affairs. Despite watching Ysabelle grow up,
you have yet to achieve any success,” Charles ridiculed him mercilessly.
Stumped, Felix felt disheartened over the comment. Nonetheless, there was little he could do, as
Charles had spoken the truth!
Subsequently, the group discussed the massive investment committed by Lombard Group.
“This time, Clayton must be coveting that same investment.” Despite his lackadaisical attitude toward
his affairs with Ysabelle, Felix was extremely competent at work.
“He already has his eyes on it. Since he intends to come in, we should let him do so. This time, I’ll
make sure he throws up whatever he manages to chew off.” Clayton had struck a nerve of his.
“Mr. Tristan, you seemed to be particularly concerned this time.” This wasn’t the first time Clayton
targeted Lombard Group. It was just that Tristan wasn’t bothered by his previous attempts.
“He is now trying to get close to Willow, but she isn’t his true objective.”
Just as expected, it’s all about Sophie. Only she can elicit such a response from him.
The next day, when Sophie came out of Wisteria Apartments, she saw Clayton sending Willow to
school.
At the sight of Sophie, he stopped his car on purpose.
“Isn’t that your sister? Ask her to get in the car,” Clayton ordered Willow.
