Anything For Her (Sophie and Tristan) novel Chapter 114

 

Chapter 114 We Are Not Meant For Each Other

Willow, who was still lining up at that time, looked awful upon hearing that.

“Willa, what did she whisper to you? Did she threaten you? Don’t be afraid. You have our support. We won’t let her bully you.”

Willow forced a smile and said, “I’m sorry. I can’t join you guys for lunch. I’m going back first.”

Noticing the fear on Willow’s face, the other girls put all the blame on Sophie.

“Willa, you don’t have to be afraid. Many of us are here to support you.”

Willow shook her head. “I’m not feeling well. You guys enjoy your meal.”

With that, she walked out of the cafeteria.

Meanwhile, Ysabelle sat in front of Sophie after receiving her lunch set. Then she took out a piece of tissue and wiped her spoon.

“Soph, have you identified who it was? We have to find and teach the person a lesson. Otherwise, many people will think we are easy prey.”

“Who else would scheme against me at all costs other than Willow?”

“D*mn it. What’s wrong with Willow? She can devote herself to becoming Mrs. Laird. What does it have to do with you?” Ysabelle was exasperated because of Willow. “Why does she always have to show up in front of you? Has she no shame?”

“All right, eat up. I’ll handle it. I won’t let Willow off the hook.”

Ysabelle was relieved upon hearing Sophie’s words.

The driver dropped Willow off at the Laird residence after school in the evening.

Constance’s lips curled into a smile when she saw Willow.

“Willa, you haven’t come here to see me for many days. Did Mason bully you? If he ever bullies you, you must let me know. I’ll surely teach him a lesson for you.”

Willow came up to Constance and held her arm to go inside.

“He didn’t! Why would Mason bully me? He’s been treating me well. I was busy because of the final exam. Mrs. Laird, you don’t mind that, do you?” Willow was always well-behaved before Constance.

“The final exam is important, but your health is even more so. Mason has just returned. You should spend more time with him. Honestly, I’m fond of you and hope you two can get together in the future.” Constance was worried that Mason would look for Sophie. “Mason will come home for dinner later. Try your best to impress him, okay?”

“Thank you, Mrs. Laird.” Willow was excited when she heard that Mason would be here for dinner.

As expected, Mason came home at six o’clock in the evening. However, he merely nodded at Willow.

The three of them sat at the dining table, and Willow kept putting food on Mason’s plate.

Moments later, Mason put his fork down.

“Mason, what’s wrong? Aren’t these your favorite dishes?”

“Willow, I’m not a kid. You don’t have to take care of me like this. I can pick up any food I want. This is my home.”

Deep down, Mason thought he had to be clear with Willow or he would waste her time.

Willow’s expression turned grim, and her hand froze after Mason rejected her kindness. She gazed at Constance helplessly, unsure of what to do.

Constance could only shake her head.

But the next moment, she helped Willow ease the tension. “Just ignore him, Willa. He’s learned a lot of bad habits from overseas.”

The meal ended on an unhappy note.

When Willow wanted to help the housekeeper do the dishes, Mason stopped her.

What does he want to say to me?

Why? Sophie can get everything I work hard to obtain without doing anything. All I want is Mason. Is it an excessive demand?

After Mason finished, Willow snickered and took a few steps back.

Mason couldn’t help but frown upon seeing her reaction.

“Willow—”

“Why? Mason, why must you do this to me? You agreed to be my boyfriend. Everyone knows you’re my boyfriend and we’re going to get engaged soon. How am I going to face them if you want to break up with me now?”

Willow continued to shuffle backward.

When she moved closer to the artificial lake behind her, Mason could not help but furrow his brows.

“Willow, calm down. Stop moving backward. It’s dangerous.”

“What’s the point of living if you abandon me? I might as well die.”

“Willow!” Mason called out in a quavering voice.

“Mason, you still care about me, don’t you? You’re worried about me!”

The next moment, Willow lost her balance and fell into the icy cold lake after letting out a scream.

“Willow!” Mason immediately rushed forward, jumped into the lake, and swam toward her.
