“What’s wrong? Are you not free tomorrow?” Tristan keenly noticed Sophia’s momentary distraction.
Then, his long and dense lashes drooped forlornly, and his eyes were misted. “I heard there will be many rare medicinal herbs at tomorrow night’s auction, so I wanted to invite you to take a look. If there’s any herb that could help my grandfather’s condition, we could secure it early.”
Even through the screen, Sophia could sense that Tristan seemed upset, his excessively long and dense lashes unable to hide the disappointment in his eyes.
So Sophia reflexively replied, “I’m free.”
Tristan lifted his head, his eyes so bright as he gazed intently at Sophia.
Faced with his eyes full of joy, Sophia couldn’t bring herself to say no.
Besides, that was also for the sake of treating his grandpa.
What if there really was some herb that could help his condition
Tristan didn’t understand that.
Only Sophia could do it.
Sophia nodded. “Send me the address of the auction. I’ll go there tomorrow night.”
Tristan’s eyes brimmed with joy as he spoke affectionately, “I’ll come to pick you up.”
“No need, I’ll go by myself.” Sophia’s grandfather was still subtly probing into her relationship with Gary. She better not involve another man.
Otherwise, it would be even harder to explain.
“Afraid of me coming over?” Tristan raised his eyebrow lightly, his voice tinged with a chuckle.
Sophia was at a loss for words. “I’m not afraid, but my family is strict. I’m afraid you’d be inconvenienced.”
Tristan seemed to understand something, and his thin, rosy lips suddenly curled up. “So did your family notice when I sent you home last time?”
Sophia couldn’t take her eyes from his captivating smile.
“Mm,” she said gently, her fingertip falling on the screen, “I’ll see you tomorrow night. I need to blow–dry iny hair now.”
After that, she decisively pressed the hang–up button.
The well–chiseled face disappeared from the screen, but that burning sensation lingered.
Sophia suddenly placed her phone face down on the table and raised her hands to pat her face.
‘Ah, the allure of a hot guy!
Tristan’s face is so hard to resist.

While she was brainwashing herself to “stay calm“, Tristan, in the office with a cool color tone, was lazily leaning against the chair back, with his phone in his hand and his gaze fixating on the phone screen.
He squinted his eyes slightly, but a smiled was seen on his lips.
Your family is strict?
Looks like it’s time for me to visit your family, Tristan thought.
Chloe had just returned home from the hospital, utterly exhausted.
She had a hard time making Ethan not mind her spending the whole night in The Ravine, which was why she hadn’t managed to get to the hospital to see him in time.
She made several calls to prove that she was unaware of the incident involving hiring male models, and after discovering that her entourage had hired them, she quickly settled the bill and left there.
Only then did Ethan reluctantly stop mentioning the matter.
She had especially spent the night with Ethan last night, and during the day, she accompanied him to transfer to another hospital.
She felt that she reeked of sweat, and she had applied layers of makeup on her face, so she feigned exhaustion in front of Ethan by almost falling off the chair. That evoked his sympathy, and he told her to go back and rest.
If she didn’t remove her makeup or take a hot bath soon, she really wouldn’t be able to hold on.
Moreover, she had an important matter that concerned her future to attend to tomorrow.
She walked into the living room, casually placing her bag aside. She was beat and didn’t even notice the people sitting in the room as she staggered towards the stairs.
“Chloe!”
Suddenly, an angry voice came from behind her.
Startled, Chloe came to her senses and turned her head back.
She saw her father sitting on the sofa with a gloomy face, staring at her intently.
Her mother was sitting beside him, looking worried. Her lips moved as if to speak, but, she said nothing.
Chloe’s heart skipped a beat, and she clenched her fists in nervousness.

Chapter 58
She realized her parents already knew about her squandering two million.
After
urning to the Stewart residence, she had been using her past to evoke Felicity and Griffin’s guilt toward her. At the same time, she kept saying that she did not return because of their wealth, but because she wanted to be with her real family.
Because of that, she did not use a single cent of the money they compensated her out of guilt.
relationship with Ethari. Naturally, he would not let her pay the bills. Of course, the main reason was that she had been in a relationship with Ethani. Naturally, he would not let her pay the bills.
However, Ethan left her alone at The Ravine the day before yesterday. As a Stewart, she could only pay the huge bill for the sake of her reputation.
Otherwise, how could she survive in the upper class?
She either spent nothing or she spent two million at a time.
That made Griffin suddenly feel that his biological daughter, whom he had just found, had been acting in front of him all along!
“Dad, mom…”
Chloe knew that she couldn’t avoid that, and tears rolled down her cheeks. Dragging her tired body, she knelt down in front of Felicity and Griffin.
What she did made Griffin’s tense face suddenly relax, and he couldn’t care less about being angry. He hurriedly got up with Felicity and stepped forward to help Chloe up.
“Chloe, what are you doing?”
“Let’s talk. Don’t cry…”
With the help of her parents, Chloe sat on the sofa. Tears rolled down her cheeks as she said in a choked voice, “Dad, Mom, I’m sorry… I just got back and didn’t make any contribution to the family. But I used so much money…
I wanted to tell you guys right away and explain it to you, but Ethan is in the hospital. I hurried there to take care of him and only came back now, so I didn’t have time to tell you…”
Her parents exchanged glances.
Her mother quickly took hold of her hand and said, “You silly girl, what are you talking about? You are our biological daughter, and the money we earn is meant for you to spend, isn’t it?”
