Changing Only For Her

Chapter 857

Hence, Felix silently approached Tristan. He and the others had been tending to Lombard Group when Tristan wasn’t around.

Since Tristan had returned, it was time to let him take charge of Lombard Group’s matters again. Original from NôvelDrama.Org.

“Your girlfriend stole my spot, Mr. Tristan,” uttered Felix in a depressed tone. Sophie really does have unparalleled charm.

“So?” Tristan asked casually. There’s nothing right or wrong about anything Sophie does.

“It’s nothing.” Felix understood the look in his employer’s eyes and sighed in his heart.

There was nothing he could do but sulk about it in silence since it was impossible for him to win against Tristan.

“Then what are you sulking about? There’s nothing I can do if Ysabelle only has eyes for Sophie. In fact, I was hoping you could control your girlfriend a little so she wouldn’t cling to mine every day!”

Speechlessly, Felix thought, Mr. Tristan is overestimating me! I can’t control Ysabelle!

“You’ve become thinner, Sophie,” said Ysabelle with heartache. “You only stayed in Anglandur for a month, so why do you look so skinny? Did Uncle Tristan fail to take good care of you?”

“No, he did. This is just what I’m like. When I get busy, I get thinner. There’s nothing I can do about this physique of mine,” Sophie answered. “Although, I don’t think it’s all bad. Look, I don’t even need to lose weight. While others are busy doing that, I can eat and drink whatever I want. It’s pretty great.”

“No, it’s not. When Aunt Sarah has her break, I’ll ask her to cook delicious food for you!” Ysabelle suggested. While I don’t have any talent for cooking, Aunt Sarah does!

“It’s not necessary. Sarah’s tired enough as it is. I don’t want to trouble her. I just need to rest a few days at home, and I’ll be fine.”

When Sarah arrived with a bag of vegetables she had bought from the supermarket and heard that, she refuted, “It’s no trouble at all! I’ll prepare a tasty meal for you today. After all, you’re the pride of the Lombard family, Sophie.” I can’t help but feel proud that Tristan found a girlfriend like her.

Her praise embarrassed Sophie a little. “I didn’t do anything special, Sarah. I just so happen to be knowledgeable about that.”

“You’re too humble, Sophie!” Ysabelle shook her head with a smile and stared at her friend with admiration. “You’re always amazing, no matter what you do!”

As it had been a while since they saw each other, they had a lengthy chat. When Sarah finished preparing dinner, everyone ate in the dining room.

“I’m glad you two are finally back in the country,” Felix uttered. Even though Anglandur has been dangerous recently, the two of them still went there without hesitation and helped out so much. It’s impressive.

Smiling, Sophie replied, “Thanks for your and the others’ hard work when we weren’t around.” He must’ve been busy managing Lombard Group and Tanner Group during our absence.

“What I did is honestly incomparable to what you achieved.” Felix was very impressed with her. She never ceases to amaze and surprise others.

After the meal, Ysabelle still didn’t want to leave but had to after her manager called her about the music video she had to film during the afternoon.

Disappointed, she bade Sophie goodbye. “Take good care of yourself, Sophie. I’ll head to work now.” No matter what, TS belongs to Sophie, so I must do a good job.

Sophie nodded. “See you, then! Stay safe!”

Felix wrapped an arm around Ysabelle’s waist. “All right, let’s go! Otherwise, you’ll be late. If the reporters take photos of that, they’ll say you’re acting haughty again.” Even though Ysabelle’s great and always does her best, there are still heartless reporters trying to defame her. That’s how the world is, I suppose. Regardless of how hard you try, there will always be people who don’t like to see you doing well.

“Do you think I’m afraid?” Ysabelle shrugged nonchalantly. I just really like to sing. The entertainment industry, on the other hand… I don’t like the environment. It’s too complicated. Thankfully, with my background, those reporters won’t dare to mess with me.

After also receiving a call, Sarah departed from the mansion. Thus, Sophie and Tristan were the only ones left.

“Since you’re back, you should visit your dad. He’s been worried about you, after all,” suggested Sophie.

“I know. Don’t worry. I know what to do,” Tristan answered. Of course I’ll visit him, but I’ve been busy since I left the plane.

“I’ll come with you!” I should visit him since Tristan and I are engaged, and Old Mr. Lombard did care very much about me when we were in Anglandur.

Hugging her and taking in her fragrance, he said, “Oh, you.” Why is she just so lovable? It’s fine for her to be willful, but she always returns the favor if someone treats her nicely, even if just a little.

The edges of Sophie’s lips curved upward. “Well, I brought someone’s son to a dangerous place. Now that we’re back, it’s natural I’ll have to go ask for forgiveness.” I wonder if Old Mr. Lombard will accept my apology.

“You’re correct, and you should! You dazzled someone’s son so much that he can’t even tell up from down!” Tristan grinned.

During the afternoon, he brought Sophie to the Lombard residence.

William knew they had returned, but because he still hadn’t seen the couple, he was pissed. Turning to the butler, he grumbled, “What’s the point of raising a son? Even though I worried about him when he was in a foreign land, he still hasn’t visited me after returning to the country!”

“Perhaps he’s simply too busy, Old Mr. Lombard. I’m confident he’ll visit you once he’s free,” the butler replied. While Mr. Lombard isn’t an emotional person, he’s a filial son.

“Whatever! He forgot all about me once he got a wife! I bet I don’t even have a place in his heart anymore. There’s nothing more I can say about that.”

Just as the butler accompanied William in taking care of the flowers in the courtyard, they heard the sound of an engine.

When the butler turned around, he saw Tristan’s car driving in and sighed in relief. I don’t know what Old Mr. Lombard would do if Mr. Lombard took longer to return. Although, I suppose it’s normal for someone to grumble constantly after growing old.

Then, he informed, “Look, Old Mr. Lombard. Mr. Lombard’s back with Ms. Tanner!”

“I see!” Despite William’s complaints about his son not visiting him, he seemed indifferent when his son arrived.

Tristan approached his father with Sophie and spoke. “We’re back, Dad. We’ll be having dinner with you tonight.” He said that because he knew what his father wanted.

“Mhm.” Nodding, William commented, “You did well in Anglandur this time, Sophie.”
