Changing only for her (Sophie and Tristan)

Chapter 1009 You Must Be Happy 

“Frankly, none of these men can compare to Tristan.” Nothing aroused her more than the sight of Tristan’s body.

Ysabelle, Cecilia, and Sarah were stunned into an awkward silence.

“Ah, it’s fine! Let them leave!” If Tristan knew what was going on, he would go mad.

Besides, she really had no interest in those men.

“You’re going to dismiss them just like that after we’ve spent so much money on them? It’s not such a big deal! This is your last chance.” If she doesn’t watch the shore now, she will have no other chance in the future.

“I’m not even remotely interested in having a chance to watch them. Let them leave, and let us girls just chat.” All she wanted on a day like that was to spend time bonding with her girlfriends.

“Okay, then!” Ysabelle was a little disappointed. Although she was completely besotted with Felix, she did not think there was anything wrong with feasting her eyes on other men.

Cecelia, too, was sorry to see the hunky men leave.

“It’s the twenty-first century! It’s not wrong to look at a little eye candy! Tristan’s really got you in the palm of his hand!” Cecelia grumbled. “After you’re married and have children, you won’t be able to do such things anymore!”

“Tristan will never stop me from doing what I want.” Sophie was deadly sure of that.

Tristan would do anything to make her happy.

“Well, that’s true. He loves you so much that he won’t restrict you from doing anything even after marriage.” Cecelia sounded a little envious. “Ah, I don’t look too bad, but why can’t I meet someone I really like?”

Although Cecilia was still too young to worry, the fact that her best friend was getting married and living her happily-ever-after life made her want the same for herself as well.

She was rather depressed.

Ysabelle patted Cecelia comfortingly.

“Don’t worry, Cecelia. You’ll definitely meet someone who will sweep you off your feet one day!”

The time had simply not come for Cecelia yet.

“If you say so… Ah, Sophie! You must be happy!”

God is fair! Sophie has been through so much pain and bitterness in the past. She deserves to have met Tristan!

“Well, we’ll all have our happy ending!” Sarah knew that Cecelia had a crush on Sean, but Sean was a difficult person to deal with.

She understood how Cecelia felt. Unrequited love is one of the most painful emotions that one can feel for another person.

“Cecelia, Sean has always had someone in his heart. I think it’s best that you forget about him.”

Falling in love with such a person would be painful, and the pain would not be worth it.

“Why are you bringing this up, Sarah? It’s Sophie’s bachelorette party today. Let’s not talk about that. I know there’s no hope for Sean and me, and besides, I don’t like him as much as you think I do.”

Such a cold and detached man like Sean is not suitable for me at all! I won’t go looking for trouble!

Cecelia was no fool.

“Okay, okay.”

All the others knew that she was lying, but there was nothing they could do about it. Cecelia’s emotions were her own private business, and no one else had the right to interfere in matters of her heart.

“Okay, let’s all have a drink! Everybody must get drunk tonight!” It’s a happy day today.

“Yes! Nobody goes home until they’re drunk!” Ysabelle echoed the sentiment, raising her glass to toast the others.

The girls were close friends and it was because of Sophie that they were all brought together.

Later in the night, Butterfly made an appearance bearing a gift for Sophie.

Ysabelle was curious to know what Butterfly had brought. “Butterfly, what did you bring with you? Can we have a look?”

“Of course it has to be something amazing! Something that Sophie will find useful!” Butterfly could not help smiling when she thought of the gift hidden under the wrapping paper.

Her mischievous smile heightened all the other girls’ curiosity.

“So, what is it?” Sarah squealed impatiently.

“Ah, it’s not for your eyes. This is private! Sophie, I’m sure Mr. Tristan will love this gift!”

Sophie was not sure how to respond to Butterfly’s teasing remark.

Tristan will love the gift that is meant for me? What does that even mean?

“Butterfly, what is it? I’m even more curious now!” What is it that she is so sure Uncle Tristan will love?

“Do you guys really want to know?” Butterfly smiled impishly.

“Yes!” the girls chorused.

Sophie was beginning to feel afraid. Did Butterfly buy me something weird?

“Can I refuse your gift?”

She did not want to receive Butterfly’s gift anymore after seeing her devilish expression.

“No, you cannot refuse. I took a long time to pick it out. Sophie, do you believe in my taste?” Butterfly replied, making Sophie’s stomach flutter nervously.

What’s wrong with these girls?

Sophie begrudgingly accepted the gift and put it aside to be unwrapped later. She wanted to wait until she got home before she found out what strange gift Butterfly had given her.

“Really, Butterfly? You teased everyone and got us all so worked up, but you refuse to reveal the gift! How mean of you!”

Butterfly ignored the other girls. After all, the gift was for Sophie alone. Why are the girls so nosy?

“Don’t worry, girls! When it’s your turn to get married, I’ll definitely get each one of you the same gift! I don’t play favorites.”

“Okay, then. If you say so! We look forward to receiving our gifts! Don’t let us down!” Cecelia drawled.

Lately, she had been filming a new movie. However, she had taken five days off because of Sophie’s impending nuptials. The director was not happy with her, but it was her best friend’s wedding. She would not miss it for the world.

“Sophie, let me sing you a song!” Cecelia said abruptly, jumping to her feet.

The other girls were confused.

Cecelia was an actress. She had never before sung in public. Can she even sing?

“Sure.”

Cecelia got to her feet and chose a song. It was their favorite song when they were in high school. As the song began to play, Sophie felt as if she had been transported back to that time years ago.

Cecelia had always been by her side during those years, so, she had not felt so lonely.

Right from the start, Cecelia had already missed her cue.

Sophie softly whispered the words, and Cecelia joined in, finding the rhythm.

So what if there have been so many difficulties in the past? What’s important is that Sophie is happy now, and I’m glad that Sophie has found happiness.

Cecelia’s singing left much to be desired, but it was a poignant song, and the girls’ hearts were moved.

“I can’t believe you’re getting married, Sophie!” Cecelia was still in disbelief that her best friend was about to become a married woman. No matter how reluctant she was to see her friend walk down the aisle and leave her in her lonely singlehood, she still hoped fervently that Sophie would be happy.

Sophie went over to Cecelia and wrapped her in a tight hug.

“Cecelia, I’m so thankful to have met you when I was at my lowest.” It really was the greatest blessing of her life.

Cecelia had really made those hard times easier.

“Yes, me too…

It was getting late, and the wedding was happening the very next day. Tristan had come personally to pick up Sophie. The other four men, too, had come along since they had been together earlier that night.

Tristan had asked them to fetch the other girls home.
