Ysabelle received the flowers and gave Sophie a bear hug.
Despite feeling exhausted after the concert, Ysabelle was elated.
“My grandpa came, right? It’s so late now. Has he gone home?” She was thrilled because everyone attended her concert that day.
“He’s old, so he went back halfway through the concert, but he did compliment you for your outstanding skills and say he’s proud of you.”
“That’s great. I’m so happy today, Sophie!”
Ysabelle grinned from ear to ear.
Mark and the others walked over as well.
“You’ve matured significantly, Ysabelle, and you’re now a qualified singer.” She had managed the pace of the concert perfectly. Mark reckoned she would become a legendary figure in the future. Ysabelle was still young, so endless possibilities were awaiting her hereafter.
Ysabelle was enraptured after hearing that.
“Thank you.” Ysabelle was on cloud nine for having the chance to perform alongside her idol and be praised by the latter.
That night, everyone went to have supper together.
Felix insisted on treating everyone, so the others took up his offer.
Considering his relationship with Ysabelle, it was only natural for him to foot the bill.
Since he was going to treat such a huge party, not to mention a group consisting of so many singers, he decided to bring them to a high-class restaurant.
Under normal circumstances, the restaurant should’ve been closed at such a late hour.
However, Felix called to place an advanced booking. As a result, some employees stayed back to serve them at the restaurant.
The scrumptious food had already been served, so Felix and the others could dig in upon arrival.
“This concert is a success because of your help. I would like to make a toast to all of you. Cheers!” Ysabelle, who was in a good mood, downed her drink at once.
The staff members responded by saying that was their obligation.
Felix had ordered his subordinates to prepare monetary gifts to distribute to all the staff members.
TS Entertainment had already given the staff members a considerable amount of monetary gifts for organizing a concert, so the staff members were a little taken aback to receive yet another monetary gift.
After all, it was customary for them to work overtime in the entertainment industry, so it was nothing worth rewarding for.
“Please accept the gifts, everyone. Mr. Northley, I shall thank you on behalf of everyone, then,” said Sophie. The sum was insignificant to Felix. Moreover, the money could also raise the staff members’ spirits.
Everybody gladly received the monetary gifts since their boss had said so.
Felix had also prepared a gift specially for Ysabelle. She was deeply touched by his gesture.
He was just as exhausted as she was lately. Felix stayed up late with her for many nights, waiting for her to finish her rehearsals regardless of how late they ended.
Naturally, she acknowledged and appreciated his efforts.
“Felix, thank you for always staying by my side. I love you!” Ysabelle announced boldly.
She didn’t care even if she might lose some followers after her fans knew she had a boyfriend. She wanted to declare her love to Felix no matter what.
In response, he cupped her cheeks and kissed the corner of her lips.
“I love you too. I love you very, very much.” My love for her would last a lifetime.
Taking in their sweet interaction, Tristan and Sophie silently held hands, got to their feet, and sneaked out.
Sophie stretched her stiff muscles after exiting the restaurant.
“Let’s go and visit Old Mr. Lombard.” She knew Tristan was still worried about William since the latter was up in years.
“That’s not necessary. Lincoln contacted me earlier and said Dad is fine. He’s asleep now, so even if we go back, we’ll only disturb his rest.” William had always been healthy. He probably fell ill because he was too tired.
“I’m glad to hear that. You should spend more time with him whenever you’re free.” After what happened to Tanner, Sophie genuinely felt one should spend more time with their elders when one had the chance because the future held too many uncertainties. One would never know how much time they had left with their elders.
“Okay. I got it.” That’s how Dad is. He seems pitiful when I don’t go back home to spend time with him. But whenever I get home, we’ll start arguing again.
Tristan and Sophie returned to the mansion. At that moment, Ysabelle called.
Evidently, Ysabelle was high after consuming alcohol.
She muttered on the other end of the line, “Sophie, let me tell me. You must be careful. Uncle Tristan has been lusting after you all along. All men are jerks. You need to be very careful, do you hear me?”
No matter what, Sophie was her best friend, so Ysabelle didn’t want to see Sophie get hurt.
A smile graced Sophie’s lips.
“Sophie, why aren’t you saying anything? I’m talking to you. Are you annoyed by me? Do you think I’m a nuisance?” I’m indeed incompetent and would only cause endless trouble to the people around me. Is Sophie starting to hate me too?
Felix wanted to stop Ysabelle from uttering those words.
Unfortunately, Ysabelle was rather stubborn and aggressive when she was drunk, so he couldn’t restrain her at all.
“That’s enough, Ysabelle. You’ve drunk too much. I’m bringing you home now. You should get some rest!”
Although he loved her, he couldn’t help but find her drunken behavior frightening.
Felix finally brought her to the car with much difficulty, but she hopped out of the car the next second, moving as agile as a monkey.
“Sophie, where are you now? I’ll go and meet you. What do you say?”
“It’s very late now. There’s no need for you to come to meet me. Just go back and get some rest.” Sophie believed Felix could take good care of her.
Felix treated Ysabelle with utmost patience, seemingly willing to handle whatever mess she made.
“But I’m so happy today. I don’t feel like sleeping.”
“Go to a karaoke if you don’t want to sleep.” Tristan was not going to let his girlfriend be another person’s nanny, not even if that person was Ysabelle. He would never allow something like that to happen.
“Uncle Tristan? Felix, what should I do? I think I heard Uncle Tristan’s voice. Why is Sophie hanging out with him?”
Felix took the phone from her.
“Don’t worry, I’ll take care of her.” Felix hung up the call after saying that.
Seeing how drunk she was, he didn’t dare to send Ysabelle back to the Lombard residence. Therefore, he could only bring her back to his mansion.
However, at the thought of how bedeviling Ysabelle could be when she was drunk, Felix had a feeling that it was going to be an unpleasant night. NôvelDrama.Org © 2024.
Unfortunately, he had fallen in love with her, so he had to take good care of her no matter what.
“Ysabelle is drunk,” Sophie uttered casually.
“Don’t worry. Felix is there to care for her even if she’s drunk, so you can just leave her be.” Felix and Ysabelle were in the honeymoon phase of their relationship. Hence, it was understandable even if
something were to happen between them. After all, they were living in the modern twenty-first century.
He leaned close to her, allowing her to sense his male pheromones and masculine presence clearly. In fact, Sophie had a fatal weakness of being easily captivated by Tristan.
