The banquet that night was organized by the president of Chanaea. It was to honor the team for their
breakthrough research related to the genetically modified virus.
On top of that, the president insisted on meeting Sophie.
“I don't think I'll be going.”
Truth be told, she wasn't interested in such social events at all.
“You should just attend it with Georgina. After grinding for so many days, all I want to do now is get
some rest.” It's just a meal, I can have it anywhere.
“That won't do. The president insisted on meeting you. It would be embarrassing for all of us if you
didn't show up.” No matter what, she has to attend the banquet. “Why don't you go home and get some
rest first? We'll come and pick you up in the evening.”
...
Sophie had no choice but to resign herself to the circumstances.
in fact, she never felt so frustrated when it came to work.
Social events were a bane to her, as she always felt awkward when dining with strangers.
At the same time, Barney felt stressed upon learning of Sophie's reluctance to go.
Now that International Medical Association was looking to establish itself in Chanaea, it would be a
terrible time to offend the president—the very person the plan was dependent upon.
“All right, I understand. In that case, I'll head home first. Call me if you have any questions.”
She was confident that there wasn't going to be any.
“Mmm-hmm. Anyway, I'll still be here. You should go back and rest,” Georgina replied excitedly, never
had she felt so important before.
Those who refused to follow Sophie must now be filled with remorse. It must be beyond their wildest
dreams that she is capable of achieving such results.
Thereafter, Sophie took a taxi back to Tristan's condominium, but he wasn't there when she arrived.
Nevertheless, she went to his room to shower before taking a nap.
Upon waking up, she recalled that she hadn't seen Morgan in a few days and didn't know how he was
doing.
Hence, she hopped on her bike and rode to her own mansion where she was greeted by the sight of
Morgan gardening in the yard.
He looked as if he was enjoying the life there.
Hence, Sophie continued to watch him without interrupting. If Grandpa were around, he must be
enjoying a leisurely life similar to Morgan's.
Finally, Morgan somehow noticed her presence.
“Ms. Sophie, you're back. Look at how beautiful the blooming flowers are!” Morgan exclaimed.
“Morgan, how do you find living here alone?” Sophie was worried about him feeling lonely, especially
after taking his advanced age into account.
Her question stunned Morgan, for he hadn't expected Sophie to be concerned about his emotional
well-being. She really does care a lot about me.
“Not really. I now have such a huge mansion to myself where I can plant all sorts of flowers. This life is
the envy of many! When you have children one day, I can even help you take care of them.”
This has always been the life Old Mr. Tanner wanted but never managed to live. Anyway, it doesn't
matter. I'm still around and can take care of Ms. Sophie on his behalf.
Staring at the flowers in the garden, Sophie nodded in acknowledgment.
“Morgan, is there anything else that you need? Just let me know if there is, and I'll get someone to
send it over.”
Perhaps I should hire some housekeepers to keep him company. Or else, he doesn't even have
anyone to talk to.
“Don't worry, Ms. Sophie. I'm fine as it is, as I have everything here.”
Furthermore, Old Mr. Tanner has left me some money. I can buy whatever I need myself.
“I'm glad to hear that.”
Subsequently, Sophie spent the rest of her time with Morgan. It wasn't until Tristan came to pick her up
that she realized it was already five.
“Ms. Sophie, are you staying for dinner? If you are, I'll start preparing it right away.”
Sophie shook her head.
“I'll dine with you next time, as I have a function to attend tonight. Take good care of yourself, and I'll
come by again when I have the time.”
Morgan was now alone for the rest of his life.
With her grandfather gone, he no longer had anyone to rely upon emotionally.
“All right, Ms. Sophie. Don't worry about me, really. After caring for Old Mr. Tanner my entire life, I
naturally know how to care for myself too.”
Ms. Sophie has done more than enough for me. There's no way I can trouble her any further.
“Morgan, we'll be taking our leave now. My mansion is nearby, and I'll send you the address later. Feel
free to drop by if there's anything you need.”
There would always be someone in his mansion.
“Thank you, Mr. Tristan.”
Morgan spoke in a polite manner. After working as a butler for his entire life, it was hard for him to
change his demeanor.
As Tristan and Sophie left the mansion holding hands, their fingers were clasped tightly together. At
that moment, they were surprised to find that a simple gesture like that was enough to fill them with
bliss.
“Are you still worried about Morgan being alone?”
“Yes. It's kind of concerning for an old man like him to say in such a big mansion by himself.” Given his
age, it's inevitable for him to have health problems. I'm just worried that no one would know if
something were to happen to him.
“Just hire a few housekeepers to keep him company.”
After all, he would definitely need help cleaning up such a huge place.
“Hmm, that's what I think too. I'll hire a few once I have time.” Only those of good character will be
accepted.
“Don't worry about something as trivial as that. Let me handle it.” Aren't boyfriends supposed to take
care of everything?
“Don't you have a banquet tonight? You should get changed, as you'll need to leave soon.”
“How did you know about it?” Sophie asked curiously. “Are you also invited?”
She figured that it was a possibility as he had captured Stephen.
In that case, the banquet wouldn't be as tormenting as she expected. At the very least, she could dine
together with him.
Tristan nodded in response.
“I was initially reluctant to go, but agreed once I found out that you would be there too,” Tristan
explained with a smile.
He, too, wasn't a fan of attending such events. After climbing to where he was, he had no interest in
pursuing what others considered their wildest dreams.
Meanwhile, the banquet was held in Chanaea's grandest ballroom, one that was especially used to
receive foreign dignitaries of the highest honor.
Tristan had already ordered his outfit to be prepared ahead of time. Even though they were not wearing
matching outfits, the color of his tie was the same as her full-length dress. Therefore, when both of
them appeared in front of Barney, the latter couldn't resist commenting, “Are both of you wearing
matching outfits to rub salt in the wounds of all those who are single?”
