Chapter 102
Edward Roscente became livid.
At this moment. Tristan Yeats took out an intricately carved, extraordinarily exquisite wooden box that seemed to have some years to it, and placed it in front of him.
When he saw the wooden box.
Edward Roscente’s face turned from pale to ashen, and then became extremely ugly.
Tristan smirked, his jade–like fingers opening the box, “If four years ago, I had truly verbally canceled the engagement between our families, the token of the engagement set back then would have been returned.”
“But now, the token is still in my hands, which means the engagement between our families has always existed.”
Inside the box was a piece of exceptionally good quality jade pendant.
Edward stared at that piece of jade pendant, grinding his teeth in anger.
How could he not remember to make Tristan return the token back then!
If he had gotten the token back then, no matter how eloquent Tristan could be, he would have a way to shut him down!
Now…
He was being manipulated!
In the past, he thought Tristan was the outstanding figure among the younger generation.
With an enviable family background, astonishingly handsome looks, and abilities that surpassed their older generation.
Seeing him as the younger generation, the more he looked at him, the more satisfied he was, and the more he envied his friend for having such an outstanding grandson.
But now, just as he had found his beloved granddaughter and hadn’t had much time to enjoy the warmth of their warm moments, Tristan Yeats, this big jerk trying to steal his precious granddaughter, jumped out.
He was just like he was when he looked at Gary, the more he looked, the more he disliked.
Especially… Tristan Yeats was nothing but a cunning fox!
The kind that eats you alive!
If Soph really got engaged to him, if she married him…
His Soph was pure and kind–hearted. Although talented, she had never been groomed in a wealthy family from a young age and did not understand those intricate schemes. How could she ever outplay such a cunning fox?
No way!
He couldn’t bear to see his precious granddaughter suffer a loss.
“Ahem….wait.”
Sophia, listening to the back–and–forth conversation between the two, gave a light cough, interrupting the undercurrent of
tension between them.

She glanced around with her bright and lively eyes, looking at her grandpa and then at Tristan, “Shouldn’t you explain to me, the concerned party, what engagement are you talking about?”
Wasn’t it at first that Grandpa was very happy about Tristan’s arrival?
Then, Grandpa misunderstood the relationship between Gary and her.
How did it suddenly…
Why did Tristan jump out again?
And what engagement was brought up?
She and Tristan Yeats…an engagement?!
Hearing Sophia’s voice, the two men, who were at odds with each other, immediately looked at her simultaneously.
The furious expression on Edward’s face softened instantly.
He looked at Sophia’s furrowed brows and her shocked little face as she looked at him and Tristan, he softened his voice, “Soph, it’s nothing. You go upstairs first. Grandpa will handle this matter thoroughly.”
Although the time spent together was short.
He understood that his granddaughter was indeed very much like him.
She just recently returned to the family.
If out of nowhere, an engagement was forced on her, marrying her to a man she had never met and didn’t even know.
With her personality, she would certainly be unable to accept it.
Especially since his precious granddaughter had just come out of a three–year emotional setback.
He couldn’t let Soph get hurt again over something called “love.”
As for this engagement…
That year, Tristan Yeats personally visited and directly refused Xandra.
Then he could also personally visit and cancel the engagement with Tristan’s grandfather!
At most, he would give more benefits to his family as compensation.
Sophia looked at her grandfather, watching his expression change from heartache to determination and then to extreme reluctance.
She didn’t know how complicated what was going on in the mind of this old man who wore a solemn face and kept a serious
posture.
This concerned her affairs, so she naturally could not just go upstairs like that.
She directly turned her gaze to Tristan Yeats, who was standing aside, and said, “You speak.”
The man’s deep, ink–like eyes were fixedly watching her.
His delicate features showed a hint of softness.
When she turned her eyes towards him, it seemed as if starlight sparkled in the depths of his eyes.

From Sophia’s angle.
The man was turned sideways towards her.
In this position, the smooth and defined muscles were visible under the white shirt.
The shirt buttons were fastened to the top, just touching the slightly prominent Adam’s apple.
Under her gaze.
The Adam’s apple moved up and down, adding an inexplicable hint of allure.
Four words suddenly came to her mind-
Seductive, yet pure!

His rosy thin lips curved, and her face was reflected in his deep dark pupils, the specks of light in his eyes enveloping her.
It seemed that his world only had room for one person.

“As you heard, the Yeats family and the Roscente Family have an engagement.” The man’s voice was low and magnetic, “That is to say, I, the only son of the Yeats Family, have an engagement with you, the only daughter of the Roscente Family.”
He paused for a moment.
In those deep black eyes, a more and more enchanting smile slowly spread, firmly fixated on her, “In other words, I…am your fiancé.”
Sophia was shocked by his words.
Did she and Tristan Yeats truly have an engagement?
She, and Tristan?
Sophia felt a sense of confusion.
She wanted to jump up and declare that this was the twenty–first century, an era that advocates freedom.
How could such an absurd thing as a child betrothal still happen?
But…
When she met the man’s glittering and playful gaze.
She suddenly remembered that scene in the hospital.
All the words were stuck in her throat, abruptly coming to a halt.
Sophia bit her lip fiercely, feeling a sense of anger, her bright eyes widening as she glared at him.
So, he knew about the engagement between them all along!
That kiss…
What did it represent?
Was it because of this engagement?
Edward Roscente saw his precious granddaughter glaring fiercely at Tristan Yeats after hearing about the engagement,

looking quite angry
He immediately put on a stern face, What fiancé I didn’t agree to you being Soph’s fiancé, don’t act as if you are!”
He stood up abruptly
That swift action made it impossible to tell he was an old man.
Edward Roscente stood in front of Sophia in this way, directly blocking Tristan’s gaze glued to his granddaughter.
Even though he had already entered old age, with gray hair, the aura of an authoritative figure still lingered.
He morted coldly, “You should know as well. Soph is a treasure that our family has just found back. Our family would never force Soph to agree to something she doesn’t want because of an engagement.”
Sophia watched the back of her grandfather standing in front of her.
He was so tall and majestic.
Her heart warmed, and her expression that had turned pale because of Tristan Yeats softened.
She increasingly liked this feeling of being protected by family.
Sophia’s crimson lips curled into a smile, and her sly, cat–like bright eyes peeked through her grandfather, wrinkling her nose at Tristan, and she let out a soft “hmph.”
