Anything For Her

Chapter 709 Is He Ill

Ever since Sophie went to Horington, Cecelia thought that the former would never get married.

After all, all the pain and suffering that Mason had caused her had been bone-deep.

If it weren't for Mason and Willow, Sophie would not have been thrown to Horington and would not have needed to

go through all that suffering.

Moreover, she changed drastically after she came back.

Hence, Cecelia was immensely glad to see that Sophie could still feel joy.

“I, too, thought I would never fall in love again before I met Tristan too,” Sophie said as she recalled the suffering

she had to go through. If those torments she experienced were what led her to Tristan, she thought it was

worthwhile.

Meanwhile, Butterfly was still reeling in from the disbelief.

“You should still think it through. You're still young, and you can afford to wait a little longer.” Even though Sophie

had always been an independent individual, something in Butterfly's mind kept telling her that Tristan had tricked

Sophie into marrying him.

Right then, Tristan came back. When he heard Butterfly's words, he shot her a cold look. Despite being someone

who had been through a lot, Butterfly still felt a chill traveling down her spine upon meeting the man's icy glare.

“You're back!”

Sophie quickly rose to her feet and went over to him to take the coat he shrugged off.

“Mhm, I'm back.”

When Tristan noticed that the guests present were all women, he said, “I have a video conference to attend, so I'm

going to head upstairs first. Make yourselves at home. I'll get Blossom Garden to deliver some groceries over, so do

stay for the meal.”

“Sure!”

Only after Tristan went upstairs did Butterfly let out a relieved sigh.

“Sophie, Mr. Tristan's too aggressive. But honestly, you're the only one who can match his aura.”

All he did was give Butterfly a look, and that was enough to make the latter's heart almost stop beating.

“That's because you said something you shouldn't have.” Even Ysabelle was petrified of her uncle.

She knew how her uncle disliked hearing them talking nonsense about things that concerned Sophie.

“Okay, okay, I'm sorry.”

Butterfly was certain that Tristan would have taken action against her if she had not been Sophie's friend. That was

how scary he was.

“Sophie, what kind of wedding do you want? A modern one or a traditional one?” Cecelia curiously asked.

Cecelia worked in the entertainment industry, and she had worn countless wedding dresses due to her roles in

movies. She thought that a traditional wedding was a good idea, for the dresses looked gorgeous.

“Is it that complicated?” Sophie had never thought about it.

“Since you've decided to get married, these are things you should consider.” In fact, Cecelia was already starting to

fantasize about the grandeur of Sophie's wedding.

“She's right. Sophie, you should start thinking about it. You have to tell us if there's anything you need from us!”

Ysabelle was exhilarated. “Also, one vote from me for a traditional wedding!”

They were Chanaeans, and she agreed with Cecelia about the beauty of traditional wedding dresses. Sophie was an

attractive woman, and Ysabelle was convinced that Sophie would be downright gorgeous in a red dress.

“That's still a little too early. Tristan's thinking of getting engaged first.” He wants us to take this one step at a time.

“Honestly, I'm impressed by Mr. Tristan. I'm surprised that he's so patient when the one he's going to marry is an

alluring woman like you!”

Does he truly love her? Nowadays, most men can't wait to get to home base after winning over a woman's heart.

But Tristan managed to hold back until now!

“Sophie, have the two of you not done that?” Cecelia asked without beating around the bush.

Sophie, who usually had an apathetic look on her face, turned bright red immediately.

“Cecelia, what are you talking about?” Frankly, Sophie did not mind giving it up to him before marrying him, but

Tristan did not want her to.

There was nothing she could say about that.

Ysabelle shook her head.

“I'm curious about this too. I'm really shocked that my Uncle Tristan actually managed to hold himself back in the

face of an irresistible woman,” Ysabelle teased. She used to be pure and innocent, but she was influenced by

Cecelia and the others.

“I'm serious about this. Is there something wrong with Mr. Tristan?” Butterfly blurted out, shocking everyone with

her crazy assumptions.

Sophie was rendered speechless. Why didn't I realize that Butterfly is someone like this in the past?

“Ms. Sekelsky, it's best not to say something like this if you don't want to get thrown out of the house by Tristan. He's

healthy and fine!” Sophie hastily clarified. The many cold showers Tristan had to take to calm himself down had not

been for nothing.

Still, those were details she was not going to share with the others, for they were private matters that only she and

Tristan should know about.

Cecelia then took out her phone and showed Sophie various kinds of traditional-style wedding dresses.

“Look, Sophie. I think these dresses suit your perfectly!” Cecelia said, already browsing through wedding dress

designs. She then wistfully said, “Honestly, Sophie, we even said we were going to get married together back then.

It's such a pity I don't have anyone I'm seeing right now. Otherwise, I'd really want to get married at the same time

as you.”

She was an A-list actress, and she had above-average looks.

But, unfortunately, she was not interested in any of her suitors.

Yet, her urge to get married reached its peak when she saw how blissful Sophie was.

Meanwhile, both Butterfly and Ysabelle were standing behind Cecelia, looking at the dresses as well.

“I'll be frank with you, Sophie. I think these dresses are way better than those modern dresses,” Ysabelle said.

When I get married in the future, I would want a traditional wedding, too.

Butterfly inclined her head in agreement.

“Just look at Sophie's face. Even if she turns up in rags, she'll still be the prettiest girl in the room.”

That was an undeniable fact.

The three of them engaged in a heated discussion as Sophie watched them quietly.

She thought she wouldn't care about all these details, but after seeing the beautiful dresses, she was starting to

look forward to her wedding as well.

A while later, Sarah came back from work. She had been working overtime, and when she found out that Ysabelle

and the others were at Sophie's place, she decided to head over too.

However, right as she came down from her car, she spotted Juan. It had been over a month since she last saw him.

She was not expecting to see him in such a haggard state, but she guessed that it had to be because of Yvette.

Regardless of everything, Yvette's incident still managed to affect him.

He must be here for me.

Not seeing the point in avoiding him, Sarah walked over to him. “Juan, are you here for me?”

The thoughts that ran across Sarah's mind were no longer the same as the ones she used to have when seeing

Juan again.

“Sarah, can we talk?”

It was then Sarah noticed the cigarette between his index and middle fingers and the numerous cigarette butts

scattered by his feet.

She frowned.

“Smoking is bad for you, Juan. Try to do it less often.”

It looks like Yvette's matter has affected him quite a bit. Moreover, Old Mr. Quigley's sick right now. I'm sure he's

having a tough time.

“I broke up with Yvette.”
