As soon as Sophie entered, she saw Willow standing behind Charmaine, looking nervous and afraid.
It was the first time Sophie had seen Willow like this, but it was understandable.
No matter how tough she was, she couldn't continue to be arrogant after experiencing what she had gone through.
Sophie looked away.
“Since today is Christmas Eve, you should go back now!” After all, William was still waiting for Tristan to go back for dinner.
“It's still early. I'll stay here with you for a while,” Tristan said. Willow had returned, but he still hadn't given her the warning he needed to give, so how could he leave now?
“Okay. Then go and pay your respects to my grandpa.” Given that it was Christmas Eve, Josiah's framed photo had already been decorated and set up.
“Sure.”
Tristan naturally had no objections and went to pay his respects to Josiah before going to Sophie's room with her.
“Do you want me to come and pick you up later tonight? I know you don't like staying here.” Sophie never liked staying here even when Josiah was here, let alone now that he was gone.
“You don't have to worry about me. You should go back quickly!” She just didn't like these people very much, but it was not like they could do anything to her.
“Okay!”
Tristan went downstairs and saw Willow. “Willow, come here!”
When Willow heard him, she shrank back. What else does he want from me? I haven't done anything wrong, have I?
“Mr. Tristan, is there something you want to talk to me about?” Willow was very nervous.
Tristan sneered upon noticing her timid behavior.
“I just want to tell you not to trouble Sophie anymore. She doesn't like you, so don't bother her. Otherwise, I won't go easy on you.” He wasn't someone who would repay enmity with kindness.
Willow felt bitter in her heart. She had been living a life worse than death on that deserted island and had just returned a while ago, yet all he was concerned about was Sophie being troubled by her.
How is Sophie this lucky? No matter what Sophie had experienced before, there was now a man who would care for her and wouldn't let her suffer any grievances.
They were both daughters of the Tanner family, so Willow wondered why she couldn't have all of this as well.
As for Sophie, she didn't need to do anything to have everything.
“Mr. Tristan, rest assured! I know Sophie isn't someone I can mess with, so I won't bother her.” Willow promised him since she could only lie low for now. What else could she do?
She didn't want to go back to that place anymore.
Moreover, if she went out now, those socialites she used to be close with would definitely mock her!
“Good then. Remember, Sophie may not kill you, but I will not hesitate to do so. As long as you dare to do anything that upsets her, I will make sure you disappear from the face of the earth without her having to say a single word.”
What I did this time is for Old Mr. Tanner's sake.
Tristan then immediately left without giving her a chance to respond. Meanwhile, Sophie was still upstairs as Tristan didn't let her come down to see him off.
It was cold outside, so he didn't want her to catch a cold.
After Tristan left, Willow stood alone in the cold with no expression on her face. Soon, Charmaine came out and saw her there. “What are you doing out here? It's so cold outside! Come inside!”
There was heating in the house, and it was much more comfortable inside, so Charmaine wondered why Willow was standing outside in the cold.
