Anything For Her

Chapter 1008

Chapter 1008 Before

“Mr. Sawyer, I think you’re aware that I haven’t actually spent much time on campus throughout my two years here.”

She always had places to be.

“That’s not a problem! You can just come by to do your research whenever you have the time. I have no expectations regarding your attendance.” All he wanted was for her to continue studying here. “You’re a star, Sophie! I don’t want you to enter society too soon. Contribute to research in medicine instead. Your future is limitless.”

Dominic really cherished talented students.

“All right. I’ll think about it.”

The man was exasperated. Everyone wanted to get their hands on someone like Sophie. By now, there would surely be so many other institutions out there trying to get her to choose them.

“Let me know if there’s anything I can help you with. Don’t be shy. It’s an honor to have you as a student here.”

“Thank you, Mr. Sawyer.”

Dominic had always been nice to her.

Unfortunately, she really wasn’t sure if she could afford to stay. She would be getting married and have her own children after that.

All of these would take time.

“What’s wrong?” Tristan came over after the chancellor had left.

“We’re done here, so let’s go home. Time sure flies by, huh? It feels like I’ve only been here a while, but it’s been two years,” Sophie lamented, having originally come to Jipsdale because of her grandfather.

Now, she wasn’t leaving, and it was also because of him.

Tristan wrapped an arm around her shoulder as they walked out together.

“Yeah. Time does pass quickly. But that’s not exactly the case for me, because I’ve been wanting to take you as my wife ever since the day I met you.”

The past two years had been especially agonizing for him.

He now felt that he had finally gotten what he had been waiting for all this while.

“Thank you for waiting for me. I won’t make you wait anymore,” Sophie promised.

Tristan stopped in his tracks, pulled her into an embrace, and kissed her.

That’s right. I won’t have to wait any longer. She’ll be my wife and the mother of our child, and we’ll grow closer than before. We’ll never be apart again.

William didn’t have much to say about Tristan wanting to change the wedding date, although it was indeed a little troublesome to do so now.

“Come on, Dad,” Sarah urged. “If he wants to get married sooner, let him! You know how long he’s waited.” She knew how much her younger brother loved Sophie. He had been devoting himself fully to the woman he loved all this while. “Besides, the sooner he marries Sophie, the sooner you’ll get to have grandkids! Isn’t that what you’ve always wanted?” Why is he hesitating when his dream is about to come true?

With that, William nodded.

“All right, I understand. I’ll get the expert to pick another date. It’s not that I don’t want the wedding to happen sooner. I’m just worried we’d be in a rush if we were to have it right away.”

We haven’t even prepared anything. It’ll be the first Lombard wedding in a long time. It has to be nothing short of spectacular!

“Everything’s pretty much ready by now, Dad,” Tristan assured. Now was the perfect time, and there was nothing to be concerned about.

“Very well. I’ll call the expert now, but you’ll have to inform Sophie’s parents about the change of plans.”

This was the least they could do as a sign of respect.

Regardless of Sophie’s relationship with the Tanner family, this was still common courtesy.

“I will, Dad. Don’t worry.” Given this was Sophie’s wedding, her family would naturally have to be in attendance.

No matter what things were like in the past, those family members no longer dared treat her with contempt now that she was with him.

After dinner, Sophie and Tristan took a stroll in the Lombard residence garden. The ground was full of exquisite flowers that William had gone through painstaking efforts to nurture.

“Yeah. These were all left behind by my mother. He didn’t know how to care for them at first, but he later really went out of his way to learn.” It was clear how much William loved his wife and remembered her through these flowers.

“Men of the Lombard family love so deeply!” Sophie exclaimed while holding Tristan’s hand. “Do you have any memories of your mother?”

The man shook his head.

“She left when I was really young, so I have no recollection of her.” Their family was somehow just different without the woman of the house.

Thankfully, William had raised his children well to ensure they never went down the wrong path.

Moreover, all three of them were brilliant in everything they did.

Tristan had only responded with a simple sentence, but Sophie knew how much of an impact not having a mother could have on someone.

She hugged him tightly.

“From now on, we’ll always be with our kids.” We’ll spend our days with them and watch them grow up.

William invited the expert over to pick another auspicious date that Tristan was especially satisfied with.

There were lots to prepare as the wedding drew near, but with Tristan taking care of almost everything, all Sophie had to do was cooperate.

Everyone in the Lombard family busied themselves, but William was the happiest among them all and helped with the preparations in spite of his old age.

He would get upset if anyone didn’t let him help.

As someone who could manage a large international corporation like Lombard Group, Tristan certainly had no problem setting up the wedding.

Time went by in a flash. It was now two days before the wedding, and Sophie’s friends had brought her out to celebrate her last few moments of being a bachelorette.

Needless to say, they were about to go wild.

The three women arrived at a nightclub.

“This is your last moment as a bachelorette, Sophie! You’ll soon be known as Mrs. Lombard!” Ysabelle exclaimed. This is all happening so quickly. She’s still so young! What if she’s just being hasty?

“That’s right. You won’t get to party like this anymore after you get married, so we’ve arranged a little something special for you today.” Cecelia added with a sinister laugh.

Sophie immediately had a bad feeling about this. Who knows what these two women are capable of when they are together?

“What is it?” Sophie sat down with a raised brow. She truly looked forward to marriage. Why wouldn’t she be excited about marrying the man she loved so dearly?

As Cecelia clapped, a dozen muscular men suddenly appeared on stage.

Sophie’s vision went dark. I knew it. Something crazy always happens whenever these girls plan something together!

“Well? Do you like it? Cecelia and I paid to have this prepared just for you!”

Sophie was tongue-tied. They actually paid for this?

“Come on! At least take a look, would you? It cost a lot to hire them!” Ysabelle said excitedly.
