In the next moment, Tristan planted a soft kiss on her lips. He could hardly contain his yearning for her.
Sophic reciprocated his kiss. She loved him. In their love story, he would never be the lone protagonist, for their journey of love must be shared.
Meanwhile, Georgina and Ysabelle were browsing several bridesmaid dresses. The quality of the dresses there was top-notch, as was everything else.
“Which one do you think looks best?” Georgina asked Arius who stood beside her.
“They all look pretty good. Why don’t you try them on? You won’t know if they fit until you wear them.”
“You’re right. Let me try one,” Georgina said.
She had taken a particular liking to one of the dresses and was certain it would look great on her.
Two shop assistants immediately brought her the dress and accompanied her to the changing room.
“What about you? Aren’t you going to try something on? I thought girls usually love this kind of thing,” Arius commented, raising a brow curiously.
Ysabelle found a spot to sit down.
“I had a fever yesterday, so I’m not feeling up to it today. As long as the dress looks good on Georgina, it should be fine on me as well.”
She was lazy to try on anything.
After all, she had confidence in her figure.
“Is it because of Felix? Did you fall ill because he left?” Arius asked.
“Arius, what are you talking about? How does my falling sick have anything to do with Felix? We’ve broken up!” Ysabelle retorted.
“So, didn’t you fall sick because you broke up with him? You girls are always denying your own feelings. You clearly like him, yet you choose to break up with him. Such stubbornness is far from endearing.” Arius said.
Ysabelle was rendered speechless.
She felt like strangling the man before her. How could he be so insensitive?
“You”
“What’s wrong? Am I not speaking the truth?” Arius didn’t think he’d said anything wrong.
Ysabelle was so exasperated she couldn’t find the words to retort.
“Arius, stop talking to me. I don’t want to hear your voice. If you keep talking, I might just kill you.”

Arius shrugged. “Fine, if you don’t like hearing the truth, I’ll stop.
He began flipping through wedding albums. This studio takes really good photos

Arius was planning to have his and Georgina’s wedding photos taken at this bridal studio in the future as well.
Just then, Georgina emerged from the changing room. Her bridesmaid dress complemented Sophie’s.
This was the first time Georgina had dressed up so formally. Usually, she dressed casually and rarely bothered with makeup. Today, however, was her first time dressing up so elegantly.
Arius’ gaze landed on her as soon as he looked up. While not as stunning as Sophie’s wedding dress, Georgina’s bridesmaid dress highlighted her best features.
Georgina felt a bit nervous under Arius’ stare. “What do you think? Does it look okay?”
Arius walked over and took a photo of her with his phone.
“Where did this little fairy come from? You look amazing!” Arius remarked.
Georgina blushed crimson.
There are other people around! He’s making me awkward by praising me like this!
“Ysabelle, what do you think? You’ll be wearing this dress too. Do you have any suggestions?” Georgina turned to ask Ysabelle.
Sometimes, a boyfriend’s judgment could be clouded, so Georgina reckoned that asking another girl for her opinion was better.
“It looks great, Georgina. Who knew you’d be such a knockout?” Ysabelle teased. “You usually look so plain, but this bridesmaid dress really brings out your charm and accentuates your curves.”
“Ysabelle…” She always says whatever comes to her mind!
“What? I’m merely stating the truth. The two of you are going to be so happy together. All right, I’m going to leave the two of you alone and check up on Sophie, Ysabelle added.
She reckoned that Sophie must be trying on her second set of wedding dress by now.
“Okay. I’ll come over once I change my clothes,” Georgina said. Sophie was the star of today. Hence, they shouldn’t waste too much time here.
Just as Georgina was about to change out of her dress, Arius wrapped his arms around her and refused to let her go.
“What are you doing? I need to go give Sophie some feedback. She’s the main character today!” Georgina scowled.
“She is the main character today, but you’re the female lead of my life. I want to take another good look at you and admire your beauty,” Arius said.
Georgina’s smile deepened. She realized that she had gotten to know Arius better after they got together

and that he could be a really loving person.
Meanwhile, with the help of the staff, Sophie had already changed into her second wedding dress, a blue one. The shade of blue was an incredibly enchanting color, and it made Sophie look like an enchantress
The dress fitted her like a glove, and she appeared captivating as always.
Tristan took a few photos of her with his phone to help her choose later.
“This one looks really good too,” Tristan sincerely said. His girl could pull off any style.
“Yabelle, what do you think?” Sophie asked.
Ysabelle nodded in agreement.
“Tm serious, Sophie. If you joined the entertainment industry, those actresses wouldn’t stand a chance,” she added.
Just with her looks alone, she could outshine any celebrity in the entertainment industry.
“I don’t like the entertainment industry. I think my current life suits me best.” Nothing else mattered as Jone as Sophie felt she was doing what was best for herself
“That’s right. I think you’ve made the right choice.” Tristan echoed her words. She’s so beautiful. If she joins the entertainment industry. I’ll surely have many lose rivali.
Tristan didn’t want others to cover her beauty
After taking the photos, he proceeded to show them to Sophie as he said, “This one really suits you too.”
Sophie was already feeling exhausted after having only tried on two dresses.
“I think whatever they pick suits me, so let’s just go with this. I’m too lazy to try on more. Also, I think taking photos is really tiring. Let’s just take a few. There’s no need for so many” Sophie said.
Who would look through their wedding photos for no reason anyway?
“We don’t necessarily need to try on more wedding dresses, since you look stunning in anything you wear. But I believe it’s worth taking more pictures. In the future, when we’re old, these wedding photos will become cherished memories. We can flip through the photos and relive our wedding.” Tristan responded. She’s right. Taking wedding photos can be rather exhausting, but it’s normal for one to feel tired when preparing for a wedding
“Mr. Tristan, what about you? Any other themes that you’d like to try?” They had already decided on the main, as well as the secondary wedding dress. What else could he possibly want?
“I’d like to have a set in retro style. You’d look elegant in one of those retro gowns,” Tristan uid. He recalled the last time she wore a retro gown, which truly took his breath away
Ysabelle immediately nodded and said. “Absolutely! You have to try on a gown since you have such a great figure. It’s a pity if you don’t try on a retro gown
“All right, then” Sophie relented

She didn’t try on the rest of the dresses, though. After trying on two sets of dresses, they already had a good idea of her measurements. Hence, the bridal studio could already make the necessary alterations to the remaining dresses.
After coming out of the bridal studio, the group of five stood in a line, all fairly worn out.
“How about we have dinner together? What would you all like to eat? Mark and the others are coming over later as well.”
Sunny insisted on coming over after finding out that Sophie was going to take wedding photos that day, He even said that he wanted to take a few pictures with Sophie.Pair Up

Ysabelle immediately suggested, “Let’s go to Blossom Garden, then. The food there tastes better.”
Georgina was truly blessed.
Despite how unreliable Arius seemed, he was unexpectedly dependable in a relationship.
When Arius arrived, Georgina naturally got into his car while Ysabelle entered Tristan’s car. Sophie sat with Ysabelle in the backseat.
Everyone had been cautious around her lately, but she was actually doing fine.
After a while, Tristan’s phone rang. He answered the call and put it on loudspeaker.
“Mr. Tristan, I heard that you guys went to try on the wedding outfits today. I wanted to join you for the wedding photoshoot, but it seems like I can’t make it now.”
“That’s all right. It’s just a photoshoot, but you must come back for the wedding.”
“Of course! We’re best buddies, so I’ll do everything I can to go back to attend your wedding ceremony!”
“Felix, I’m being serious here. Fandar is quite dangerous, so be more careful. Many armed forces had gathered at Fandar at that moment, and a war was imminent.
“Don’t worry. I’ll survive! By the way, how’s Ysabelle? I heard she’s sick.”
He actually made the phone call because he was concerned about Ysabelle, as there was no one around to care for her now that he was abroad.
At the mention of her name, Ysabelle subconsciously clenched her fists. I can’t believe this man…. Is it really dangerous there? He went to Fandar because of me, right?
“She’s a pampered young lady, so what could possibly happen to her? You don’t need to worry about her; just take care of yourself. Make sure you come back safely, got it?”
“Mr. Tristan, don’t say that Ysabelle is and always has been a kind and nice person. She’s not spoiled at all.”
“I can’t believe you’re still defending her at this point. Do you really love her that much?”
“I do. I really love her. I love her to the core.” He didn’t know who he was uttering that last sentence to.
Tears instantly welled up in Ysabelle’s eyes. Felix is such a terrific man, but I’m not good enough for him. I don’t deserve the kindness he’s showing me.
“All right, I got to go now. Bertram and I have some matters to attend to. After we finish dealing with everything here, I’ll go back.”
An armed conflict broke out there, so Felix and Bertram had to go and check out the situation.
Ysabelle panicked after hearing the gunshots. It’s genuinely hazardous there. Before Felix ended the call, I clearly heard gunshots. “Uncle Tristan, is it perilous at Fandar? Why did you let Felix go if you know it’s dangerous there? Can you ask him to come back, please?” Uncle Tristan has so many subordinates, so why can’t somebody

else go! Why does it have to be Felix?
+15 Bonus
“Ysabelle, you’ve already broken up with him. It’s not your place to worry about him anymore.” Tristan ignored her request. Felix is already at Fandar. What’s the point of her regretting now!
Ysabelle turned to look at Sophie. “Sophie, Fandar is so dangerous. Can Felix make it?”
Ysabelle knew Felix must be capable since he had served Tristan for so long. Otherwise, Tristan would’ve dismissed him early on.
Nevertheless, after learning how fraught with danger Fandar was, she couldn’t help but feel worried.
Sophie put her arm around Ysabelle’s shoulder, gently embracing her. “Calm down, Ysabelle. Felix is highly competent. He’ll be able to take care of everything there.”
Felix was naturally formidable. Tristan would never have agreed to let him go to Fandar if he wasn’t capable enough to survive.
“Besides, he volunteered to go there. This matter has nothing to do with your uncle Tristan.” Sophie didn’t want Ysabelle to misunderstand Tristan.
“How could he volunteer to go there? What if something bad really happens to him?” Ysabelle didn’t dare to imagine the consequences.
She bit her lower lip, stopping herself from saying anything else.
“You should remember this lesson. Felix is genuinely fond of you, but you can’t treat him poorly and take him for granted just because he likes you. Do you understand?” Tristan couldn’t stop himself from
lecturing her.
In his opinion, a man should indeed pamper a woman, but a woman shouldn’t go too far as to be inconsiderate of that man’s feelings.
“That’s enough. She’s already upset, so quit chiding her.” What’s the point of saying all these now?
Tristan fell silent since Sophie had spoken up. When they reached Blossom Garden, Mark and Sunny were already there. The other three band members had something to do that day, so they didn’t come.
When Sunny noticed Ysabelle’s reddened eyes, he immediately walked over and sat down beside her. “What’s the matter, Ysabelle? Did someone bully you? Let me know if someone did. I’ll help you teach that person a lesson!”
Ysabelle merely shook her head.
“Are you really fine? But you look like you’re on the verge of tears. Are you sure no one picked on you?”
“There is. Uncle Tristan picked on me!”
“Oh, so the culprit is Mr. Tristan. In that case, there’s really nothing I can do to help you. You know how scary your uncle is. I’m no match for him.”
If the culprit had been somebody else, Sunny might’ve been able to stand up for her.
Unfortunately, since that person was Tristan, Sunny could only mourn for her in silence.

Ysabelle glared at him. “Sunny, you’re such a lousy senior. Is my uncle truly that fearsome?”
+15 Bonus
“Of course. He’s terrifying.” He would glower at me whenever my eyes linger a few moments longer on Sophie. He’s the incarnation of a devil! Sophie doesn’t belong to him alone, so why can’t others look at her?
Everyone chatted with one another after ordering some food. Tristan poured Sophie a glass of warm water. “Here. Have some warm water. It’s been a long day.”
Trying on wedding dresses was a tiring feat.
It was still rather exhausting although they had others helping them out.
Sophie held the glass and asked, “Can Felix resolve the problems on his own? If he can’t, let’s go over and help him.”
If something really happened to Felix, Ysabelle would be heartbroken. I don’t want her to be sad.
“Nothing should go wrong since Bertram is there to assist him. Nevertheless, if he still hasn’t sorted out the situation there after we finish taking the wedding photos, I’ll go and take a look.”
Felix had been with him for so long, so Tristan figured Felix must be capable of taking care of those problems.
“All right, then. You should stop criticizing Ysabelle. She’s already in distress.” Sophie fathomed a breakup wasn’t necessarily one person’s fault.
Both parties must’ve made mistakes.
“Okay. I’ll stop. Tristan heeded Sophie’s words.
“By the way, now that Felix is not around and Ysabelle is one of the bridesmaids, we’re still short of a best man.” Although it wasn’t the official wedding, the best men and bridesmaids were required to be present for the wedding photoshoot-after all, the more, the merrier.
“Why don’t we ask Charles to pair up with Ysabelle?”
“No!” Ysabelle immediately refused.
“What should we do, then? Felix can’t return to the country for now.” Tristan glanced at her. “Alternatively, you’ll have to drop out of the photoshoot.”
“Fine. Who wants to be paired up with Charles anyway?” Ysabelle was against the idea of being paired with someone else, even if it was only temporary.
“Should we go for BBQ or stir-fry dishes?” Arius asked. “Maybe we should go for stir-fry. Georgina has been feeling under the weather lately. BBQ might be a little too heavy for her.”
