Chapter 232 You're Not Yourself Today

In the end, Cressida still went to Tristan's apartment. It wasn't the one he had arranged for Cressida and Daphne. When she opened the door and walked in, Tristan was sitting alone on the couch in the living room. The TV was on, but it was obvious he wasn't watching. His gaze was fixed on the dark screen, lost in thought. Only a single floor lamp was lit in the apartment. The dim yellow light wrapped him in shadows, making the entire place feel empty and cold. Cressida changed her shoes, walked over, and sat down beside him. "What's wrong?" she asked. Tristan didn't respond. He didn't even look at her. He just picked up the remote and turned the TV volume up two notches. Cressida was baffled by his behavior. He'd been perfectly fine on the phone earlier. Why was he acting like this the moment they met? "You're not yourself today," she commented. Tristan flat-out ignored her. Just as the stalemate dragged on, Molly came out of the kitchen carrying a freshly brewed pot of tea.
