My Dreamy Old Husband novel Chapter 104

“Yes, general!” she answered as loud as she could, while the other two answered quite weakly. The three of them were then released.

Sophia was ready to go to lunch with Nathan when she suddenly heard Richard calling out her name, “Sophia…” Sophia stopped and looked back at him while plastering a polite smile on her face, as if she had forgotten what happened last night.

“Richard, what’s the matter?” Her amicable behavior was completely different from yesterday night when she had beaten them up.

The onlookers were shocked. What just happened? Richard himself couldn’t believe his eyes when he saw Sophia’s beatific smile. He had never seen her smile like that before. Feeling embarrassed, he smiled back and said, “I’m sorry for what happened, and I hope you won’t take it to heart. We… are still friends, after all.”

Besides, Sophia really didn’t hate Richard anymore. Because of him, she now understood the dangers of the world, and knew what playboys were like. Sophia took Nathan’s hand and left, leaving Richard rooted to the spot as he watched her leave.

Sophia wasn’t aware of Richard watching her, but it had caught Xyla’s attention. Xyla was looking miserable with her messy hair, her face swollen and eyes puffy. She looked unbelievably lonely.

Everyone was gloating behind their backs. It must be because of Taylor Murray’s wife-jinx that all the women who approached him would be unlucky. Xyla asked him for an autograph, and even took a photo with him. It’s not surprising that she has bad luck now! She deserved it!

Xyla’s stomach twisted into knots when she saw Richard and Sophia talking to each other. Sophia, you’d better watch out!

As Xyla realized that Richard was about to leave, she immediately chased after him and called out, “Richard!”

However, Richard didn’t seem to have heard her, and he walked into the crowd, his large steps taking him far away from her.

It was night time when Xyla received news that Richard and Kayla had applied to leave the barracks. Kayla’s performance had taken a setback and her legs were injured, and she knew there was no way she could get a passing mark.

Thus, she thought it was better to leave early. As for Richard, his patience had reached its limit and he couldn’t stand it anymore. Bayside University’s military training had always been the strictest and most rigorous.

Although he was only a student leader, Richard was able to enjoy having someone accompany him throughout the training. He now realized that it was very difficult for ordinary people to stay here for so long and suffer so much.

Richard left the barracks quickly, not even stopping to say goodbye to Xyla, and the two started the silent treatment. Watching the brother and sister of the Harper family leaving the barracks, Xyla’s eyes welled with tears.

I managed to get Richard, but what went wrong? Xyla concluded that it must be because of Sophia. If it wasn’t for that b*tch, Richard would be all mine! Xyla trembled and burst into tears, her eyes spewing fire. Sophia Edwards, just you wait!

After the fiasco, Sophia had become famous, and she had to bear the consequences. The only perk from winning the battle was that she was allowed to sleep in a luxurious single room for the night.

As people watched her leave, they were also overjoyed. Sophia’s combat effectiveness was already strong, not to mention having Nathan as an added advantage. Sooner or later, she was going to dominate the entire training field. It was good that she was gone.

As for Sophia, she was beyond anxious, for she felt that something bad was about to happen; she could feel butterflies in her stomach.

Nathan did not follow along, and she felt zero sense of security. A lieutenant was sent to lead Sophia to the Superb Company, while the other companies on the training field looked at her with envy and hatred, and of course, someone just had to come out and make a scene.

“Why is she the only one who is qualified to join the Superb Company? I want to go too!” Faye came out of nowhere. Not caring that she was in the middle of formation practice, she suddenly broke formation to chase after Sophia.

Faye caught up with them and insisted on going to the Superb Company together. The lieutenant who led Sophia didn’t even look at Faye. He agreed to her request readily and took both of them to the Superb Company.

Faye was very proud of herself and puffed out her chest. While walking, she tied her hair up properly, wanting to appear in front of the Fletcher family in the most perfect state. Maybe she would catch the eye of a Fletcher! Other students also wanted to be like Faye, but they didn’t have the courage because they were part of the Edwards.

The three of them then left the training field and jogged all the way to another training field. From far away, they heard a sonorous chant behind the iron gates, “One, two, one; one, two, one; one, two, three, four; one, two, three, four!” It was a mixture of men and women’s voices, and they were chanting confidently. They were obviously tough!
