Chapter 81
Before Sylvia could say anything, Tristan strode off to his car, leaving her frowning.
She had a bad feeling about his response, but it was time for Isabel and Liam to come home, so she had to leave too.
Tristan went home right after that.
Tristan’s parents, Bruce and Catherine, were chatting in the living room.
He went up to them with a serious expression and declared, “I don’t like Sonia.”
“You guys barely met. Just go out more and develop your relationship,” Bruce said. The Rosses and the Ledgers had a strong business relationship over the years. Although it was the Rosses who had proposed the marriage, Bruce felt it was only appropriate.
After all, Sonia was appointed the heir of the Rosses, and Tristan was the only son of the Ledgers, so the union between the two families was nothing less than a great decision.
Tristan confessed, “There’s someone I like.”
Bruce frowned.
“Tristan, who might that be? Which family is she from?” Catherine asked.
“I can’t tell you who she is yet, but I’ll bring her to meet you guys soon,” Tristan said. He planned to bring Sylvia home after he finally won her heart.
Dissatisfied, Bruce said, “Then, at least tell us about her background first. What does her family do, and what is her occupation?”
“I can’t tell you that either, but you will know soon.”
Bruce wore a grim look.
Catherine nudged him, signaling him to not get mad at their son. She then asked Tristan, Tristan, do you really like the girl?”
Thinking of Sylvia put a smile on his face. “Yeah, I really do.”

His smile was as bright as the sun.
Catherine sighed softly. He was her only son, so she did not want to be too straightforward just yet. She simply said, “Well, bring her home when you are ready and let your father and me have a look.”

If the girl had a decent background, she would agree to let Tristan be with the girl. If not, she would approach the girl instead and make her leave Tristan.
Tristan was delighted. He asked, “Mom, then can I call off the engagement with Sonia?”
Catherine smiled. “I’ll give Mrs. Ross a call later.”
The discussion about marriage should be put on hold first. If Tristan’s choice was decent, they would also call off the engagement and renegotiate with the Rosses about what to do
next.
It was the Rosses who wanted the marriage to happen after all.
Tristan took his father’s silence as a tacit agreement, so he went out cheerfully.
After he left, Catherine called Mrs. Ross, Dona.
The call got through after a few seconds.
Catherine politely greeted Dona as usual before she sighed and went into a confession of things that gave her a headache. After she used all the excuses to mentally prepare Dona, she told her that they wanted to put the engagement between Tristan and Sonia on hold first.
