CHAPTER 860 DO NOT BEG ME FOR HELP
“Go sleep in your room! Because of you, Ysabelle has gotten the wrong idea...” Sophie grumbled.
Argh! Ysabelle must've thought there was some hanky-panky going on between us!
“What's there to be afraid of?” Tristan replied. “You're now my fiancée, so why should anyone care
what we get up to around here? It's none of their business.”
Oh, come on. Do I need everyone else's permission to be in a relationship?
“A while more. Let's cuddle a while more, and I'll leave,” he added, a far cry from his usual authoritative
self.
Upon seeing how beguiling the man was, Sophie gave in and took the initiative to hug him.
Fine... I can never reject him when he plays dirty, anyway. In fact, I don't think I can ever bring myself to
turn him down.
Meanwhile, Ysabelle had rushed out with her phone in hand, only to be stopped by Sarah before she
could enter her room.
“Why are you running? What on earth could be chasing you at home?”
“Aunt Sarah, I...” Ysabelle mumbled, her face red with embarrassment.
Then again, how could she not be when she had walked in on another couple doing the deed? Even
though she and Felix were also dating, the latter never went beyond hugging and kissing her.
Naturally, she'd be mortified to witness such an intimate scene!
“What's the matter with you? Are you not feeling well? Do you want to see the doctor?” Sarah asked
worriedly when she saw the flush in Ysabelle's cheeks.
For a moment, the young woman touched her face and bit her lower lip as she lapsed into silence. “I'm
all right, Aunt Sarah.”
Sarah, however, remained doubtful.
“What's wrong with you, then?”
“I-I'm done for, Aunt Sarah. If Uncle Tristan threatens to kill me tomorrow, will you please protect me?”
“Why? What happened?”
“Earlier, I barged into Sophie's room without knocking on the door. Then...” Ysabelle muttered before
her voice trailed off.
“Oh, my goodness! Shouldn't you be old enough to know basic etiquette? You must always remember
to knock before entering anyone's room!”
Well, it's perfectly normal and understandable for couples to be intimate. Besides, hasn't Dad been
longing for grandchildren? I can't believe Ysabelle ruined that moment for Tristan and Sophie!
Ysabelle nodded. “Yes. I know.”
Argh! Why am I being blamed? I was already feeling down in the dumps today and only returned to
Sophie's room to grab my phone. How did I know I'd catch them in such a compromising situation? I
didn't do it on purpose!
“All right. Don't worry too much,” Sarah reassured. “It's getting late. Go to bed soon. You have an
upcoming album release, don't you? You ought to be in good shape for that.”
After all, looks were important in the music industry, so a singer like Ysabelle had to have ample rest.
“Okay,” the young woman mumbled before darting into her room with her phone.
Sarah was also about to retire for the night when her phone suddenly rang. Alas, she couldn't help but
frown as soon as she realized who the caller was.
What on earth is Juan up to? I was in love with him before, but he always treated me indifferently.
However, now that I've given up on him, he won't stop pestering me! What's the point of this?
Sarah instantly declined the call, but Juan soon called again, clearly refusing to give up.
Annoyed, Sarah texted: Juan, what do you want? Haven't I already said that things aren't going to work
out between us?
Juan: Why not, though? I wasn't aware of my feelings for you in the past, but now I know. Don't be
afraid, Sarah. Besides, you don't have to do anything this time. I'll go to you.
Sarah: Is this fun for you, Juan? You ignored me when I was so madly in love with you, but now that
I've chosen to walk away, you refuse to let me go. Do you truly like me, or are you just being resentful?
As it turned out, that was what troubled Sarah the most.
She had pursued Juan romantically for a long time, but he never reciprocated her feelings.
Therefore, wasn't it odd that he sang a different tune only when she had given up?
Was it true love, or was he merely bitter at the turn of events?
Juan: Sarah, we're still friends, aren't we? Isn't it normal for friends to call each other?”
Deep down, Juan knew he had gone overboard in the past, so he didn't want to push Sarah too far.
All I can do now is take things one step at a time. Even though we're both in our thirties, there really
isn't much time to waste. Then again, I suppose that doesn't matter. We have the rest of our lives
ahead of us, and I'm sure I can convince her of my feelings one day.
Sarah: That's enough. I've already said my piece, and I don't think there's a need to waste any more
time.
Sarah had, in fact, already decided to be single for the rest of her life.
She was enjoying her life as a single woman and loved that she didn't have to care about anything
else.
All that mattered was her own happiness.
Furthermore, many of her friends were sure they had married the love of their lives, yet their marriages
still didn't turn out well.
After hanging up the phone, Sarah grabbed a facial mask and settled in for the night. Since she was
already in her thirties, it was all the more reason to maintain a beauty routine.
The next day, when the entire family gathered for breakfast, Ysabelle was so scared of Tristan
punishing her that she didn't dare look at him.
As such, she kept her head down and quietly tucked into her food.
That, however, only made William curious. “What's the matter with you, Ysabelle?”
Hmm... How odd. Ysabelle has always been very chatty, so why is she so quiet now?
Shocked to have suddenly been singled out, it took a while before Ysabelle snapped out of her daze.
“I'm fine, Grandpa.”
“You can tell me if something's wrong. Did someone bully you?” William asked. “Is it Felix? Was he
upset because I mentioned wanting you to go on a blind date yesterday?”
Hmph! That must be it! I knew I didn't like Felix for a reason.
“Grandpa, will you stop being so biased against Felix? He treats me well, and I like him a lot,” Ysabelle
answered.
Even though there was no guarantee that they'd be together forever, she knew her feelings for him now
were genuine.
“Oh, you silly child! Felix is too old for you. All I want is for you to live happily ever after.”
“Aren't Uncle Tristan and Felix the same age, Grandpa? Moreover, Sophie is two months younger than
me!” Ysabelle retorted, annoyed at William's double standard.
Just then, she felt Tristan's death glare on her, and she instantly bit her lower lip, realizing she had
misspoken.
Argh! I've offended Uncle Tristan again. That's it. I'd better go to Felix right after breakfast... I reckon
he's the only one who will save me now!
Upon seeing the change in Tristan's expression, Sophie couldn't help but smirk. She had always
thought that only women were sensitive about their ages, but who knew men cared just as much about
it?
Realizing he was about to blow his top, Sophie quickly grabbed his hand to calm him down.
“I think our ages are perfect! Don't worry! I don't think any less of you.”
Sure enough, Sophie's reassurance worked wonders, and Tristan's mood instantly improved.
“Ysabelle, don't ever ask me for my help again. I won't agree to it,” he said as he glanced at his niece.
Why must she drag me in when she's talking about Felix? How annoying!
