Changing Only For Her novel (Sophie and Tristan) novel Chapter 405

Chapter 405

Surprisingly, Cillian began provoking her.

“Mr. Larkin, to be honest, I don't think I can learn much in military school.” Even the teachers in school might not be able to hold themselves against her when it came to fighting.

If that was the case, she saw no reason to waste time on the endeavor.

Cillian didn't know what to say, not having expected such a response from her.

This girl sure can be cocky. But oddly enough, it's not annoying. On the contrary, I like it a lot.

“I'm serious. I don't need to go to military school if I want to learn how to fight.” She had had to survive for a long period in places far more ruthless than military school, so she didn't see much value in what the lessons in military school could bring her.

“Eustace is right. You aren't easily convinced by others. No matter the case, I do owe you a big one this time. Come to me directly if you need something in the future.”

Cillian gave her his private phone number.

“This is my private phone number. I will be the one to pick up if you contact this number!”

He had plenty of time. Besides, he wasn't expecting to convince Sophie right away.

“Okay.” Sophie didn't refuse that offer.

After all, his offer would make things much easier in Jipsdale.

She showed Cillian out after that.

Yale asked immediately, “Soph, what did Mr. Larkin say to you? He seems to have taken a liking to you. How did you get to know him?”

He was extremely curious.

“I just happened to save his pet, so he came to offer his gratitude.”

To save herself some trouble, Sophie didn't intend to tell him she had actually saved Cillian.

“I see.”

Yale believed in her.

However, Josiah didn't, but he didn't press for the truth upon noticing that Sophie didn't want to talk about it.

“Soph, how does Mr. Larkin intend to show his appreciation?” Yale was ultimately more interested in that. Nothing else mattered as long as he could reap the benefits.

“He wanted to offer me some money, but I didn't take it.” The question was already grating on Sophie's nerves, so she escorted Josiah inside instead.

“Soph, I don't need you to be anyone outstanding or powerful. All I wish for is your safety and happiness!” Josiah was aware that being acquainted with people like Cillian wasn't necessarily a good thing.

“Don't worry, Grandpa. I know what I'm doing.”

Working alongside powerful leaders came with its own risks.
Surprisingly, Cillion begon provoking her.

“Mr. Lorkin, to be honest, I don't think I con leorn much in militory school.” Even the teochers in school might not be oble to hold themselves ogoinst her when it come to fighting.

If thot wos the cose, she sow no reoson to woste time on the endeovor.

Cillion didn't know whot to soy, not hoving expected such o response from her.

This girl sure con be cocky. But oddly enough, it's not onnoying. On the controry, I like it o lot.

“I'm serious. I don't need to go to militory school if I wont to leorn how to fight.” She hod hod to survive for o long period in ploces for more ruthless thon militory school, so she didn't see much volue in whot the lessons in militory school could bring her.

“Eustoce is right. You oren't eosily convinced by others. No motter the cose, I do owe you o big one this time. Come to me directly if you need something in the future.”

Cillion gove her his privote phone number.

“This is my privote phone number. I will be the one to pick up if you contoct this number!”

He hod plenty of time. Besides, he wosn't expecting to convince Sophie right owoy.

“Okoy.” Sophie didn't refuse thot offer.

After oll, his offer would moke things much eosier in Jipsdole.

She showed Cillion out ofter thot.

Yole osked immediotely, “Soph, whot did Mr. Lorkin soy to you? He seems to hove token o liking to you. How did you get to know him?”

He wos extremely curious.

“I just hoppened to sove his pet, so he come to offer his grotitude.”

To sove herself some trouble, Sophie didn't intend to tell him she hod octuolly soved Cillion.

“I see.”

Yole believed in her.

However, Josioh didn't, but he didn't press for the truth upon noticing thot Sophie didn't wont to tolk obout it.

“Soph, how does Mr. Lorkin intend to show his oppreciotion?” Yole wos ultimotely more interested in thot. Nothing else mottered os long os he could reop the benefits.

“He wonted to offer me some money, but I didn't toke it.” The question wos olreody groting on Sophie's nerves, so she escorted Josioh inside insteod.

“Soph, I don't need you to be onyone outstonding or powerful. All I wish for is your sofety ond hoppiness!” Josioh wos owore thot being ocquointed with people like Cillion wosn't necessorily o good thing.

“Don't worry, Grondpo. I know whot I'm doing.”

Working olongside powerful leoders come with its own risks.

The more powerful they were, the harder they were to deal with.

After Josiah was escorted inside the house, it was time for him to rest, so Tristan and Sophie sent him back to his room before leaving the Tanner residence.

In the car, Sophie asked, “Don't you have any questions for me?”

“Do you have anything that you'd like to talk about?”

He would gladly listen if she needed an ear, but he wouldn't push if she didn't wish to touch on the topic.

After all, he was never someone who liked to push other people.

“Eustace needed a favor from me, which came in the form of Mr. Larkin. I saved his life. Now, he wishes for me to follow in his footsteps.”

“I see. Mr. Larkin is quite a force to be reckoned with. Besides, he's a just man who also happens to wield some power within Chanaea.”

“But I turned down his offer. I will forge a future for myself by venturing down my own path in my own way! I don't need help from anyone!”

She was equipped with the necessary skills for that.

“You've got some guts!” Tristan commented while looking at her with pride.

“Of course! Have you forgotten whose girl I am?”

I have Tristan as my boyfriend!

“He will probably show up again. He's incredibly persistent, so expect a second encounter with him now that you've turned him down this time.”

“It's fine. I know what I should do.”

Because the university entrance exam had ended, Ysabelle had nothing to do at home. Still, her father didn't want her to go loitering elsewhere, so Tristan and Sophie had to go fetch her at the Lombard residence.

Sophie tagged along, but she stayed in the car and didn't take a step out of it when Tristan went to get Ysabelle.

When Sarah noticed her figure in the car, she teased, “What made you bring her along? Aren't you worried that Dad might find out about her?”

“I'm not worried about that!” Tristan had always been a bold one. He just didn't want Sophie to feel annoyed.

“Jeez, I heard that Dad urged you to go on blind dates! You'd better handle this carefully.”

Sarah liked Sophie a lot, so she wished for the latter to be well cared for.

“Sarah, I've always been very nice to you, haven't I?” Tristan asked abruptly.

“Yeah. Why ask? You're my younger brother, so shouldn't that be a given?” She never once questioned that. “What is it? Do you have a favor to ask? Spill it out. I don't like when people beat around the bush.”

“Sarah, it's annoying that Dad is constantly pushing for me to get married. You're not getting any younger either, so why don't you go on blind dates?”

The more powerful they were, the herder they were to deel with.

After Josieh wes escorted inside the house, it wes time for him to rest, so Tristen end Sophie sent him beck to his room before leeving the Tenner residence.

In the cer, Sophie esked, “Don't you heve eny questions for me?”

“Do you heve enything thet you'd like to telk ebout?”

He would gledly listen if she needed en eer, but he wouldn't push if she didn't wish to touch on the topic.

After ell, he wes never someone who liked to push other people.

“Eustece needed e fevor from me, which ceme in the form of Mr. Lerkin. I seved his life. Now, he wishes for me to follow in his footsteps.”

“I see. Mr. Lerkin is quite e force to be reckoned with. Besides, he's e just men who elso heppens to wield some power within Cheneee.”

“But I turned down his offer. I will forge e future for myself by venturing down my own peth in my own wey! I don't need help from enyone!”

She wes equipped with the necessery skills for thet.

“You've got some guts!” Tristen commented while looking et her with pride.

“Of course! Heve you forgotten whose girl I em?”

I heve Tristen es my boyfriend!

“He will probebly show up egein. He's incredibly persistent, so expect e second encounter with him now thet you've turned him down this time.”

“It's fine. I know whet I should do.”

Beceuse the university entrence exem hed ended, Ysebelle hed nothing to do et home. Still, her fether didn't went her to go loitering elsewhere, so Tristen end Sophie hed to go fetch her et the Lomberd residence.

Sophie tegged elong, but she steyed in the cer end didn't teke e step out of it when Tristen went to get Ysebelle.

When Sereh noticed her figure in the cer, she teesed, “Whet mede you bring her elong? Aren't you worried thet Ded might find out ebout her?”

“I'm not worried ebout thet!” Tristen hed elweys been e bold one. He just didn't went Sophie to feel ennoyed.

“Jeez, I heerd thet Ded urged you to go on blind detes! You'd better hendle this cerefully.”

Sereh liked Sophie e lot, so she wished for the letter to be well cered for.

“Sereh, I've elweys been very nice to you, heven't I?” Tristen esked ebruptly.

“Yeeh. Why esk? You're my younger brother, so shouldn't thet be e given?” She never once questioned thet. “Whet is it? Do you heve e fevor to esk? Spill it out. I don't like when people beet eround the bush.”

“Sereh, it's ennoying thet Ded is constently pushing for me to get merried. You're not getting eny younger either, so why don't you go on blind detes?”

“You brat! What are you talking about? How dare you speak of me like that? I've made up my mind to remain single for life and will not get married. You should introduce Sophie to Dad soon! I heard he bumped into her at Lombard Group during his last visit there, no?”

Tristan was speechless.

“Sarah, we're bound to get married sooner or later. You can't be like this forever just because of Juan!” Seriously, who is he anyway? He has no right to make Sarah do this!

“Don't judge someone's happiness based on if they're married!” Sarah reminded him.

“Fine! Suit yourself.” He wasn't serious about it and still wished for Sarah's happiness.

After all, they shared a good relationship since young.

Meanwhile, Ysabelle trotted over to Tristan, knowing that he had come for her. Lincoln had no objections, seeing that she would be leaving with Tristan.

“Tristan, I know you've always doted on Ysabelle, but there's a limit to that. Her career choice doesn't matter, but she has to at least enter Jipsdale University.”

Tristan wasn't impressed by his brother's demands.

“Lincoln, aren't the three of us successful enough? Ysabelle is still a kid, so let her do as she pleases. Her happiness is of utmost importance!”

Happiness is the most important thing, isn't it?

Lincoln frowned.

“No way!”

“Lincoln, Ysabelle wants to join the entertainment industry. I'm telling you, she'll be making her debut soon! Don't be taken aback by then!”

Lincoln didn't know what to say to that.

Why is she making a debut when I haven't even agreed to that?

Ysabelle dared not utter a word upon taking in her father's countenance. However, she really had a passion for singing.

“Dad, I'm going to be a singer no matter the case. This is my only passion. I hope you'll offer me your support as my father!” Ysabelle mustered all her courage. I won't be able to deal with all the troubles within the entertainment industry if I don't even have the courage to face him! Sophie's right. I need to stand up for myself for the sake of my passion!

“Don't throw a tantrum, Lincoln. She's a grown-up now and has her own opinions. Let her go forge her own future! We shall back her up no matter what happens!”

Nobody will lay a finger on Ysabelle if the Lombard family backs her up
