William wasn’t someone who particularly enjoyed praising others. Therefore, he meant precisely what
he said when he complimented Sophie.
“Thank you, Old Mr. Lombard.” Despite receiving praise, she remained collected.
The couple stood at the side as William continued tending to the flowers. Even though William didn’t
say much of anything, he did order the butler to ask the chef to prepare a few more dishes Sophie
liked.
It was a clear display of his affection for her.
In the past, he didn’t like her. But, he found himself adoring her more and more nowadays. However, he
was a prideful man, so he found it difficult to lower himself and speak to Sophie further.
The difference between how he used to treat her and how he treated her at that moment was drastic.
That night, Sarah and Ysabelle also returned home for dinner. Felix came too, but William seemed
dissatisfied with the former.
It was because William thought the age gap between Felix and Ysabelle was too significant.
Therefore, he didn’t treat Felix nicely for the whole night.
Upon approaching Tristan, Felix asked, “Did I offend your dad? Why do I feel like he’s upset with me
today, Mr. Tristan?”
“What did you expect? Of course he’ll be upset after a hog like you snatched the precious sweetheart
he doted on for two decades away. You should be glad he didn’t just kick you out.”
“Why am I a hog now? Don’t you think I suit Ysabelle well? Besides, you’re also much older than
Sophie, so why didn’t he complain about you? Why is he only upset at me?” Felix was speechless.
Narrowing his eyes, Tristan questioned, “What do you mean by that? Are you comparing me to you
right now? Do you think we’re even comparable?”
Felix was at a loss for words. The members of the Lombard family are just so mean! What’s so wrong
with me? I’m considered a promising young man in Jipsdale, so why doesn’t Old Mr. Lombard like me?
“All right, that’s enough. Once you take care of Ysabelle, you don’t need to mind what others think. All
that matters right now is her attitude toward you.”
“That’s more like it. Now you’re acting like my friend,” remarked Felix. There’s no way he can’t tell how I
feel about Ysabelle. Besides, he never opposed my relationship with her before!
During dinner, William intentionally commented, “You’re an adult now, Ysabelle. You know, I think that
boy from the Lane family suits you well. You should interact with him more.”
He completely ignored Felix because he was just that dissatisfied with the latter.
Meanwhile, Ysabelle was dumbstruck. I haven’t told my family about my relationship with Felix yet, but
I’m certain they can tell we’re a couple. In that case, why did Grandpa say that in front of Felix?
“I’m still young, Grandpa. I’m not in a hurry to get into a relationship.” She felt a little helpless when she
said that while glancing at Felix. He sure seems calm.
Upon noticing Ysabelle was looking at Felix, William scoffed, “Indeed you are, which is why you
shouldn’t be fooled by awful old men. I’m saying this for your own good, understand?”
Old men? I’m the same age as Mr. Tristan! As much as Felix wanted to refute William, he couldn’t, so
he pretended not to hear anything.
Sarah glanced at Felix. I bet he’s pissed off right now.
Concurrently, Sophie also peered at Felix with a gloating look.
That all made Felix feel gloomy. These people… They’re so mean! Why aren’t they helping me at this
critical moment?
After dinner, Ysabelle went to a secluded spot with Felix.
“You know how my grandpa is. As for the blind date, don’t worry. I won’t attend it.” She knew he felt
insecure, which was why she comforted him.
“Am I really that old, Ysabelle? I’m the same age as Mr. Tristan, so why does Old Mr. Lombard seem to
disdain me so much? I don’t get it!” Felix frowned.
“Didn’t I tell you not to mind what my grandfather says? He simply doesn’t want me to stay with you.
Besides, it’s not like I can retort him in that situation,” reminded Ysabelle. Why doesn’t he still
understand after I said so many things? Is it fun for him to overthink things?
“Kiss me, then. I think my self-esteem is wounded.” He continued to act coyly.
After surveying her surrounding to ensure no one was around, Ysabelle stood on her toes and pecked
his lips before swiftly pulling back. “Are you satisfied yet? Have you stopped feeling angry?”
The kiss is kind of plain, but… Felix answered, “It’s acceptable. Why do I feel like I’ll encounter many
obstacles if I want to marry you?”
“Obviously. If you’re afraid of trouble, feel free to give up now. I won’t blame you for it.” His attitude was
starting to get on her nerve. It’s not like I’m to blame for this! This is starting to irritate me. Why hasn’t
he felt better after I comforted him for so long?
“You’re a heartless little thing, you know that?” he spat. I’ve been afraid all this time because I’m
concerned we may not be able to stay with each other. Yet, she has the nerve to say such a callous
thing.
“Hmph! Go home, Felix. I don’t want to talk to you anymore today.” Upon ending her sentence, she
ignored him and headed upstairs. Why does he act like he’s the only one with problems? I’m under a
lot of pressure, too, okay?
Felix sighed before calling Ysabelle on the phone.
However, she refused to accept the call because her patience for the day had run out. If he thinks it’s a
pain to stay with me, he can just leave me. I’m not a clingy person.
With no other choice, Felix returned home, lest he risked bumping into William again and receiving a
lecture from the old man.
Meanwhile, Tristan and Sophie stayed at the mansion for the night to keep William company. After all,
they had just returned.
After Sophie finished her shower, she saw Ysabelle stepping into her room with teary eyes and a pillow.
“What’s the matter? Did Felix bully you?” she asked as she dried her hair.
Ysabelle’s voice was choked as she exclaimed, “Men are pigs, Sophie! They’re so ridiculous!”
“Did Felix really bully you? Actually, can he even bear to do that? Did you bully him and then feel
aggrieved?” questioned Sophie. Based on what I know of Felix, I don’t think he can bring himself to
bully her.
“How can you say that when I came to you for comfort, Sophie? I admit I may be a little temperamental
occasionally, but I love Felix. There’s no way I can bring myself to bully him for real! I want to stay with
him. However, sometimes, I’m not certain about the future. I don’t know if we can reach the end
together. After all, many people have a wonderful relationship when they first start out but still break up
in the end.”
