Changing only for her (Sophie and Tristan)

Chapter 966

Chapter 966 Establish A New Order

Tristan swept a gaze over Felix.

“I think it’s more like you’re jealous. Who wears a shirt while training, especially in such hot weather? Do you have no abs?”

“Who said so? I do! Of course, I’ve got abs!” Dejection swamped Felix. My abs are just not that prominent. He then turned to Ysabelle. “I really do have abs, Ysabelle.”

Hearing that, Ysabelle could not help bursting into giggles.

“All right, it doesn’t matter whether you’ve got abs. I like you, not your abs,” she asserted.

“But you were totally engrossed when you stared at their abs,” Felix whined pitifully.

“Well…” How am I to explain that? Everyone likes to admire things that are pleasing to the eye. Ysabelle countered. “That doesn’t detract from the fact that I like you!”

“Fine, then.”

What else can I say to that? When I’ve recovered, I’ll definitely train hard and develop my abs. Otherwise, I wouldn’t be able to stand having her peek at other men’s abs all the time!

After the morning training, everyone had breakfast together. The instant the men under Tristan’s command spotted Sophie, they all sat far away, for the memory of Bertram being put through the wringer remained vivid in their minds.

Considering Ms. Tanner’s capabilities, Mr. Tristan is probably the only person in the entire base who’s her match.

“Whatever did you do, Sophie? Why do I feel as though everyone is terrified of you today?” Ysabelle was wholly ignorant about the entire matter.

“Nothing much. I merely sparred with Bert, and they all happened to witness it.” That was all that transpired

“Haha!”

Following Sophie’s blithe answer, Felix inexorably laughed out loud, for he knew her capabilities. She m have wiped the floor with Bertram!

“Why are you laughing?” Ysabelle asked in puzzlement. Was that funny?

“No reason.”

At that precise moment, Bertram came over and sat down to have breakfast with them.

“Ms. Tanner…”

“What is it? You’d still like to spar with me one on one?”

Immediately, Bertram waved his hands in demurral.

“No, no! How could I possibly dare do so? I’m here to seek your help to train a few men for me. Your marksmanship is truly impeccable,” Bertram explained.

“Oh, I see. Sure! I’ll be staying here for some time. Just leave them to me.” Merely training a few men was not a problem for Sophie.

“Great!” Sheer gratification flooded Bertram upon her agreement.

“How about I likewise tag along and learn from you during this time, Sophie? I’d be able to help you all

out if there were danger in the future instead of being a burden.” Ysabelle expressed, having found herself utterly useless this time, unable to help in anything.

“Yeah, sure,” Sophie agreed.

Indeed, no matter how powerful those around her are, she’s the only person who can protect herself at a critical juncture. On top of that, she’s a highly renowned singer now and will always run into danger of some sort.

Felix, on the other hand, did not share the same sentiments. “You don’t need to learn, Ysabelle. It’s an arduous process. I’ll protect you so long as you remain by my side. Verily, it was nothing more than an accident this time. I’ll certainly be able to keep her safe in the future!

I don’t doubt your capabilities, Felix. I merely feel that you can be more relaxed if I’m capable of defending myself. Don’t worry. I can endure a bit of hardship.”

Nonetheless, unadulterated anguish pervaded Felix.

In truth, the incident this time had really scared Ysabelle. That was why she decided to take that step.

“She’s an adult, so she knows what she’s doing. Besides, it’s good for her to learn some self-defense,” Tristan interjected upon sensing Felix’s reluctance.

That’s the veritable truth. It’s best to depend on oneself than on others. No matter how capable he is, he can’t stay by her side every second of every day.

“I know.”

“He’s right! Rest assured that there wouldn’t be any problems with me teaching her. But Ysabelle, first things first-I’m exceedingly strict.”

“Okay. I’m not afraid.” This time, Ysabelle was genuinely determined. In the past, she was never interested when her grandfather urged her to learn self-defense. At that moment, however, she wanted to strive to stand side by side with Felix.

“Actually, I can teach you when I’ve recovered.” Felix still felt that he was the person who loved her most.

“It’s okay. Just rest these few days. I’ll learn from Sophie first. Moreover, isn’t she better than you?”

Felix went silent, left without a retort.

Ouch! That hurt! While that’s true, she didn’t have to point it out.

Only when Ysabelle glimpsed his despondent expression did she realize that she had misspoken.

“I’m sorry, Felix! Did I hurt you again? I really didn’t mean it.”

“It’s okay. I’m used to it. Anyway, Sophie is always more important than me in your eyes.”

Oh well, why do I never learn? I never win against Sophie. Instead, I’d only embarrass myself further!

Ysabelle fed him while coaxing him, “Who said so? You’re the person I’m going to marry. I can’t possibly do that with Sophie, can I?”

“What if she were a man, then? Would you choose her in that case?”

Ysabelle did not answer at once but mulled it over for a while.

“You still need to think about it? Have you ever considered my feelings, Ysabelle? You’re going too far!”

“No! Why are you being so unreasonable, Felix? Sophie is a girl. That aside, do you think I’m Uncle Tristan’s match?”

Gosh, he’s fixating on strange issues!

Meanwhile, incredulity deluded Sophie at the sight of the couple bickering because of her.

“You’re even jealous of me, Felix?”

Tristan brought Sophie a bagel.

“Just ignore them. They’re both childish!” They’re always so immature, having a row again when it’s only been less than a week since they’d made up.

Sophie proceeded to munch on the bagel, no longer paying the couple any mind.

After breakfast, Tristan and Bertram planned to go out to resolve some matters. Sophie changed as well, insisting on going with them.

“Aren’t you tired? Stay here and rest since you’ve been exhausted in the past few days. I’ll be back in a jiffy.”

-I’ll go with you. If the matters here can be resolved faster, I’ll also be able to go back earlier.” Chanaean Medical Association had a new research project, but she could not do any work here since the conditions were too poor.

“All right, then.” With me there, it doesn’t matter if she tags along.

Bertram acted as their chauffeur.

“We’re meeting Jetroina’s bigwig today, Lily Sanders. She has a lot of sway in Fandar, so she’s the key if we want to establish a new order. Also, she’s a woman, and she likes handsome men.”

As he spoke, Bertram could not help casting a glance at Tristan. Mr. Tristan is sure to turn her head, considering his looks!

“Why are you looking at me? I’m married. If you want to use seduction, you’d be the one executing it!”

Lily Sanders hosted a banquet that day and invited the few big shots in Fandar. In other words, she wanted to appoint herself as the leader.
