Pursuing Her (Sophie and Tristan)

Chapter 13 Flirting

away.At half past ten, Tristan was still there with Sophie, but Sophie didn’t care much about it and played games in her bed.When it was half past eleven and Sophie noticed that Tristan hadn’t left. She raised her head to look at him and said, “Mr. Tristan, you may go. I don’t need anyone to take care of me.” It was just a minor surgery. Besides, I can already get out of bed and walk.“Don’t worry about me. Sleep if you’re tired.”“What do you mean?”“I’ll stay here and accompany you.”“What?” Sophie doubted her ears. Tristan, the man who could cause Jipsdale to tremble with one word wanted to stay and accompany her.“Are you hungry?” Sophie hadn’t eaten anything yet, and Tristan was worried that she might be hungry.“I’m good.” Sophie didn’t have much appetite.Tristan took that as a yes, and called someone to deliver oatmeal from The Crown.The oatmeal arrived in a thermal insulation container instead of a takeaway box.Tristan filled a bowl with oatmeal, sat beside Sophie, and put the spoon near her mouth.“Ahem!”Even Sophie, who had always been calm, was stunned at that moment.Tristan, the head of the Lombard Group, a prominent character in Jipsdale, was feeding her oatmeal.“Mr. Tristan, I can eat by myself.” She didn’t know how to deal with Tristan’s behavior.Tristan knew that she wasn’t used to it, so he didn’t insist.Besides, he wasn’t in a hurry. He wanted to give her time to get used to his existence.Hence, Tristan handed her the bowl and spoon.Sophie took a bite and felt that it tasted pretty good. Hence, she slowly finished the bowl of oatmeal.“Want some more?”“I’m good. Thank you.”Sophie felt pretty awkward when Tristan, a person unrelated to her, cared for her this much.“Mr. Tristan, you may go. This is a hospital. It’s very safe.”“Sleep! I don’t mind sleeping on the couch for one night.” Tristan covered her with a blanket and lay down on the couch. He wasn’t planning to leave at all.“Mr. Tristan?”Sophie had never shared a room with another man. Although it was a ward instead of a room, she still felt awkward about it.“What’s wrong? Are you not tired yet?”Sophie remained silent.Fine. I saved his life before too. Maybe the Lombard family is really serious about gratitude.The ward was quiet, and only the alternating sound of their breathing could be heard.A long while passed and Sophie fell asleep in a daze.When Tristan heard her faint breathing and knew she was asleep, he got up and walked to her side.Sophie looked vulnerable while asleep, just like a baby. It made him feel like protecting her no matter what so she would never get hurt.The following morning, Tristan’s assistant delivered breakfast to the ward for the two of them.Not only did Tristan help Sophie with her breakfast, he also catered to her every need.The assistant’s jaw almost dropped. Is this really the oppressive and ruthless Mr. Tristan?After breakfast, the nurse came over to administer an infusion.“Mr. Tristan, you have a meeting today in the morning with the SF Corporation in Anglandur’s—” The assistant began.“Postpone today’s meeting until tomorrow.”The assistant was momentarily stumped and was rendered speechless.Tristan shot him a glance, and the latter nodded immediately.After giving out some instructions, he finally said, “You may leave now.”His employee immediately packed
