Changing Only For Her

Chapter 127

Chapter 127 It Is Time You Give Up

Ysabelle was so shocked that her jaw almost hit the ground. Uncle Tristan actually promised to sing for Sophie!

Casting her mind back, she seemingly couldn’t remember ever hearing Tristan sing.

“Don’t force yourself, Uncle Tristan.” She felt utterly petrified.

Hearing that, Tristan swept a gaze over her. What does she mean by that? Am I not allowed to sing?

“All right, in that case, I’ll book a private room for us!” Felix volunteered himself for that task. NôvelDrama.Org copyrighted © content.

He knew that Ysabelle had always loved to sing.

Honestly, he was exceedingly supportive of that. No matter what she did, he would support her. Alas, her parents didn’t think the same.

“Winter, go home first if you don’t want to go. Else, I can drive you home first before making a trip back,” Charles murmured thoughtfully. Why must she do this to herself? She’s downright asking for it!

“No, I’ll go with you all! I don’t want to be alone, Charles!” Winter was willing to go anywhere as long as she could stay a while longer with Tristan. Hence, she couldn’t possibly bear to leave first.

“In that case, let’s go!”

When they went out to foot the bill, Tristan handed his black card to Sophie.

Sophie was stunned for a moment as she stared at the card in her hand. What is he doing?

“What’s the meaning of this? I don’t quite get it.” Could it be because my IQ had dropped recently?

“Didn’t you say that it’s your treat tonight?” The meal today must have cost quite a huge sum, no?

At once, Sophie’s eyes went wide. Don’t tell me I can’t even afford to treat them to a meal in his eyes? It turns out that I’m so pitiful to him, huh?

Naturally, Winter noticed Tristan’s action and couldn’t help snickering.

Hah! If she doesn’t have the money, she shouldn’t have boasted! All of us here can afford to pay for this meal!

“How about I foot the bill instead?” She went over to the counter and whipped out her card.

Immediately, Tristan frowned. What’s the meaning of her doing this?

Sophie walked over as well, taking out her card and handing it to the cashier directly.

Seeing that, Winter grew impatient.

“I’m aware of the Tanner family’s current situation, Ms. Tanner.” In other words, she was saying that Sophie couldn’t afford to pay for that meal.

“Winter!” Ysabelle couldn’t bring herself to listen any further. Indeed, the Quigley family is one of the four prominent families. But still, she can’t look down on others like this!

However, Winter merely shrugged.

“I don’t mean anything. I merely hope that Ms. Tanner doesn’t need to lower her standard of living because of us. That wouldn’t be good. Am I not right?”

“How could you say that?” Ysabelle saw red. How could she say that about Sophie?

“A person’s value is created by herself. I don’t want to rely on the Tanner family. I can obtain everything I want through my own efforts. I’m different from you, Ms. Quigley.”

Actually, she really didn’t want to say that, but Winter forced her hand.

“That’s enough! I think you should go home first, Winter!” Charles interjected swiftly. She has really gone too far this time, so I can’t help her either.

“Charles, I didn’t say anything, did I? I’m just doing this for her good. Verily, there’s no need for her to satisfy her vanity by passing off as something she’s not.” Simply put, Winter looked down on the Tanner family.

Displeasure deluged Tristan. No matter the reason, he didn’t want to hear anyone putting Sophie down in that manner.

“In your eyes, Winter, is the Lombard family not worthy of dining with you? And are you saying that my girlfriend can’t even afford to treat you to a meal?”

Never had Winter expected him to tear into her like that because of Sophie.

“I didn’t mean anything, Mr. Tristan.” Despite feeling aggrieved, she still apologized since she wanted to join them instead of going back alone.

By then, the cashier was done collecting the payment and handed Sophie’s card back to her.

“Drive Winter home first, Charles. Since she doesn’t like to be with us, she doesn’t need to join us anymore in the future.” Ultimately, Tristan still sentenced Winter for her misdeed.

“I’m sorry, Mr. Tristan.” Winter instantly apologized. No matter how dissatisfied she was, she didn’t dare to challenge the man.

“Send her back, Charles!” Tristan didn’t want to waste any more time on her.

In a trice, Winter’s eyes turned red-rimmed. She was a strong career woman in the outside world, but before him, she was merely a weak woman who adored him.

All her perseverance and facade were only for the sake of being with him.

Helplessness swamped Charles. I have already told her not to provoke Sophie, but she just wouldn’t listen!

At the sight of Winter on the verge of tears, Ysabelle’s heart softened. After all, they always hung out together in the past.

“Let Winter tag along with us, Uncle Tristan! It’ll be more fun with more people!” she implored on Winter’s behalf.

“Let’s bring her along!” Sean seconded.

Even with so many of them speaking up for Winter, Tristan still looked at Sophie. If she doesn’t agree, no amount of pleading will work!

Upon seeing that everyone was looking at her, Sophie shrugged nonchalantly.

“I don’t mind.” It didn’t matter to her whether Winter went with them, for she was inconsequential in her eyes.

“This is your only chance.” Tristan didn’t even bother to spare Winter a single glance.

“Let’s go!” Meanwhile, Charles was wholly speechless. Once a woman falls in love, she becomes foolish no matter how intelligent and capable she is!

Winter trailed behind the man quietly.

“Charles, I—”

“Don’t say anything. Remember my words—do not provoke Sophie.” That is enough. As for the rest, I can’t be bothered anymore.

Winter’s hands balled into fists.

In the past, they only brought me along when they came out. I’d always thought I was special to Tristan, but I never expected myself to be no one of significance to him. That little slut is really adept at bewitching others!

Felix and Sean went ahead with Ysabelle, leaving only Tristan with Sophie in the end.

“Mr. Tristan, you didn’t have to do that because of me.”

“It was necessary. No matter who it is, no one can pick on you.”

Furthermore, it was just Winter. I’m never bothered about her.

When they went out, they saw Mason and Willow, who had been waiting outside.

Sophie’s brows knitted together. Truly, she didn’t believe that it was a coincidence.

So, what’s her motive in doing everything possible to get him here?

The instant Willow spotted Sophie coming out with the man, glee filled her.

With things having come to this point, Mason will likely give up, yes? Witnessing Sophie with another man, Mason couldn’t help eyeing Willow.

Did she call me over just to have me watch this scene?

At the look in his eyes, Willow inexorably defended herself. “Mason, I had no idea that Sophie is here as well. How would I have such great capability to know that she’s also here?”

Tristan swept his gaze over the man across from them, but he said nothing.

“Let’s go!”

Ysabelle and the others had all left. Is there any need for us to tarry here because of two insignificant people?

“Okay.”

He was relatively satisfied with her response.

This is precisely what we should do! In the face of an inconsequential person, we should just ignore them.

Watching as Sophie walked right past him, Mason felt utterly wretched.

It wasn’t until she had gotten into the car that he gathered his wits about him.

Noticing that he wanted to leave, Willow promptly grabbed his hand.

“It’s time you give up, Mason! There’s no longer a place for you by her side.”
