Anything For Her

Chapter 1031

“Willa, the world of the wealthy isn’t as enticing as you thought. You have no idea how much I’ve struggled so that I could marry your dad. Look at where it’s gotten me now. So, as a woman, you can truly only rely on yourself. Only when you stand firm can you avoid being taken lightly by others,” Charmaine commented.

“Mom, I don’t want to hear this.” Willow was losing patience. Sophie is so happy now. How can I give up? I’m Tristan Lombard’s sister-in-law! With such an identity, people will be eager to flatter me, so what do I have to fear?

“All right, I didn’t mean it that way. I just want to remind you not to dig your own grave,” Charmaine said.

As a mother, she had said all she could, yet her influence over her daughter’s decisions was inevitably limited.

Meanwhile, after Sophie returned home, she found William tending to his beloved garden. She greeted him briefly before retiring to her room. Some issues had arisen at Wings of Light that required her attention.

At that moment, Tristan was keeping his father company.

Seeing Tristan seated there with him, William grumbled, “What is wrong with you? Why are you here with an old man? I don’t need you here. Go be with your wife.”

Tristan was rendered speechless. Having finally found some spare time and since Sophie was busy at that time, he decided to keep William company so as to distract him from his solitary thoughts.

Little did he expect his company to be so unwelcomed.

“All right. I was worried you would be lonely. But if you don’t want me around, I’ll go join my wife, then,” Tristan said.

Who wants to be here with an old man?

As a matter of fact, William didn’t want Tristan keeping him company, either. He just wanted a grandson. Nothing else mattered.

Back in their room, Sophie was still busy. Seeing him enter, she spared him a glance while her fingers flew over her keyboard.

“Weren’t you downstairs with Dad? Why are you here?” She reckoned that William needed company. That was the reason she had asked Tristan to stay with him.

Tristan moved closer and wrapped his arms around her waist. From NôvelDrama.Org.

“He doesn’t need my company, and he was the one who asked me to come be with you. Don’t worry. He’s quite content with being alone.”

A hint of a smile spread across Sophie’s face.

Dad is really a very good person. He may have been cold toward me at first, but now he takes good care of me.

“Looks like I need to work harder.” Tristan said abruptly

“Why?”

“Dad wants a grandson. That’s all he’s ever anticipated That’s why he sent me back upstairs.

Sophie gave him a stern look.

Ever since they got married, Tristan had been playful, constantly teasing her at every opportunity.

“You go do your own thing. I still have some work to finish,” Sophie said dismissively.

Tristan nipped her on the neck. “Honey, are you trying to brush me off?”

Hot and bothered as she was, Sophie knew that she still had a lot of work on her plate. She was somewhat frustrated.

“Why don’t you go take a shower? I’ll be done by the time you finish,” she suggested in an attempt to pacify him.

That should do it.

Tristan pinched her cheek and said, “That’s more like it. I’m going to take a shower. When you’re done with your work, come join me.”

It’s so boring to shower alone. Showering together is much better.

“Okay,” Sophie said.

Indeed, married men are full of eccentric thoughts.

After Tristan disappeared into the bathroom, Butterfly’s voice rang out from the earpiece.

“Phantom, you seem to be having a good time. Did I interrupt something?” Butterfly had remained silent the whole time, but she had overheard the whole conversation.

“Had you been slightly more competent, Butterfly, you wouldn’t have ruined my honeymoon!” Sophie said petulantly.

“All right, I was wrong. I ask for your forgiveness, and I’ll treat you to a meal sometime. That should do it, right?” Butterfly said guiltily. After all, she was the one who had created this mess.

“Fine,” Sophie replied.

As they spoke, Sophie had already solved Butterfly’s problem. As always, once she set her mind on something, there was no problem that she couldn’t solve.

“As expected of Phantom, solving the issue in less than twenty minutes,” Butterfly exclaimed, relief washing over her. “I’ll leave you two lovebirds be. I’ll treat you to a meal some other day. Your husband is still naked in the bathroom waiting for you.”

With the problem solved, Butterfly didn’t wish to bother Sophie any longer and quickly logged off.

Sophie shut down her laptop and was about to make a phone call when the bathroom door swung open.

“Come on in, Honey!”

Sophie was at a loss for words. Does he have to show off his naked body like this? Sure, we’re married now, but won’t he feel embarrassed?

“What’s wrong? Didn’t we agree on this? Were you just brushing me off?” Tristan asked.

“It’s not that. But are you sure about this? This is your home, and your dad and the others are here.”

“What does that have to do with anything? Don’t worry. Our house is well soundproofed!” Tristan wore a look of anticipation.

Furthermore, they were newlyweds. His family would absolutely not disturb them, so there was no reason to worry.

“Hurry up,” Tristan urged.

Sophie had just taken a step forward when he suddenly pulled her into the bathroom and quickly shut the door behind them.

“What are you doing? Wait a minute!” It’s not like he’s never done it before. Why is he so impatient?

“I can’t wait any longer.”

Her allure was simply too irresistible.

After a passionate night, Sophie woke up the next day only to find it was already past ten. She had always been in the habit of going for a morning run. However, since getting married, she had been breaking her routine more and more. She was surprised that she found the feeling unexpectedly… sweet.

Picking up the note Tristan had left on the bedside table, Sophie grabbed her phone and dialed his number.

He answered the call just after two rings.

“You’re awake? You must be exhausted from last night. I asked the housekeeper to prepare breakfast for you. Make sure you eat it.”

As Sophie’s husband, it was his responsibility to care for her.

“All right. I’ll get out of bed now,” she replied.

“Honey, what should I do? I miss you.” Tristan had gotten better at sweet nothings ever since they got married.

“I miss you too. All right now, get to work. I’m going down for breakfast,” Sophie said. It was already over ten o’clock. Knowing William was also home, she felt embarrassed to head downstairs.

“Okay. Don’t forget to eat more, all right?” Tristan was reluctant to hang up the call. In fact, he didn’t even feel like working at all with a lovely wife at home.

“All right. Now go and focus on your work!” The couple chatted for a while longer until the secretary called Tristan, forcing him to end the call.

After hanging up. Sophie flashed a contented smile on her face. She was truly living a happy life.

She changed her clothes and headed downstairs. When the butler saw her coming down, he immediately served the breakfast on the table.

“Mrs. Lombard, your breakfast is ready”

“Thank you.”

“There’s no need to be so polite, Mrs. Lombard. It’s our duty to serve you. If there’s anything you find unsatisfactory, feel free to let me know, and I will work on it.”

“Everything is great,” Sophie replied. She wasn’t accustomed to being served by others. She sat quietly and ate her breakfast.

Seeing the way Sophie behaved, the butler couldn’t help but feel a sense of pride. He used to ponder what kind of woman would be worthy of Tristan. Now that he saw her, he felt that only someone like her deserved to be with Tristan.

They were truly compatible in every aspect.

I hope Mrs. Lombard can bear children for the Lombard family as soon as possible. That way, their union would be truly complete!

After breakfast, Sophie didn’t have much else to do, so she went directly to the Chanaea Medical Association. It had been a while since she last visited.

Upon learning of her arrival, Arius and Georgina immediately brought her to the laboratory. They encountered some problems in their recent experiments and Sophie’s presence had given them hope.

How could they not make good use of her expertise?

“Sophie, you have no idea how much we missed you during your absence.”

Sophie excelled in every field, especially in medicine, where she was considered a natural authority.

She could solve any problems.

“Missed me? Aren’t you afraid Georgina will get jealous?” Sophie teased.

Upon hearing her name, Georgina blushed and said, “No! How could I possibly be jealous of you? I know how close both of you are.”

“I was just teasing you. By the way, you two have been together for a while now. When will we get to attend your wedding?”

Arius did express his hope to get married during my wedding photoshoot.

Georgina’s face grew even redder. In truth, she felt that their current situation was already perfect.

She was genuinely happy being with Arius, and even if they didn’t get married, it didn’t matter.
