My Dreamy Old Husband novel Chapter 84

However, Nathan seemed uninterested with their offers. He just sat there, eating his watermelon while looking at them impassively. He didn’t even say anything.

The surrounding Company 49 students looked on; even though they were angry, they did not dare to say anything since Faye was an Edwards after all. Should they mess with the Edwards, they’d suffer serious consequences. Hence, there was nothing they could do except to watch Nathan being snatched away from them.

Right at that moment, Sophia pushed her way through the crowd and asked, “What’s going on here?”

Nathan remained silent. Gemma, who had been enjoying her popsicle quietly beside Nathan, chuckled and explained, “Sophia, Faye wants Nate to be her god brother; she’s planning on bringing him over to their company.”

“Faye, this is Sophia. She is very close to Nate, and Nate will listen to everything she says!” Xyla pointed her finger at Sophia immediately as she whispered to Faye in her ear. A gloating look flashed through her eyes.

Faye was Xyla’s cousin; they were very close to each other. Before they came, Xyla had reminded Faye to mess with Sophia whether she decided to hand over Nathan or not.

She had actually hoped that Sophia would act proud like how she behaved before this; it would be great if Sophia managed to offend Faye. In that case, she would definitely not be able to survive at Bayside University anymore.

Faye didn’t look very friendly indeed; she studied Sophia from head to toe for a while. There was a look of disdain hidden in her arrogant eyes, and it seemed like she was looking at an insignificant bug. “So, you’re Sophia?”

Sophia nodded in a dignified manner. “Yes.”

Before Faye could say another word, Richard grabbed Sophia immediately and reminded her in a low voice. “Sophia, now is not the best time to fool around. She is Faye, the wealthy daughter of the prominent Edwards Family. If she wants Nate, you should just agree to it and hand him over to her!”

Still, Richard didn’t want Sophia to offend the Edwards. If she did, then Sophia would definitely not be able to stay in Bayside University anymore.

Xyla was so furious that she almost fainted when she noticed how Richard still cared for Sophia during a time like this. Not willing to lose face, she pretended to act kind and advised Sophia too. “Yeah, Richard is right. My cousin is an Edwards; she likes Nate very much and is ready to take him back to the Edwards Family. If Nate agrees, then he’ll be a part of the Edwards Family…”

At the same time, she didn’t forget to hold Richard’s hand as she said that. She sounded like Richard’s kind and considerate wife who was giving advice to his mean and inconsiderate mistress.

“Hmph!” Sophia really couldn’t bring herself to watch such an awful and disgusting show the duo put on. She protested bluntly, “Sorry, but Nate is my darling. I won’t give him away.”

Nathan quietly swept away Richard’s hand that was holding onto Sophia’s arm before he grabbed her delicate hand and glared at Richard alertly. Sophia was his father’s woman, and he was determined not to allow anyone to have their eyes on her.

Xyla was ecstatic when she saw Sophia rejecting Faye’s offer in a rude and harsh manner. Carry on, carry on! Just keep on acting arrogant! It’s even better if you offend Faye!

She couldn’t wait for Sophia and Faye to fight against each other. Xyla really hoped that Sophia would offend Edwards for good, and she would no longer be able to stay in Bayside University or Bayside City for that matter.

She pretended to persuade Sophia again. “Sophia, my cousin is…”

“Sorry, I’m not giving him away,” Sophia rejected coldly. However, a gentle and cheerful expression crossed her face when she turned to face Nathan. She pinched Nathan’s delicate cheek gently and said, “Don’t worry, I promise I won’t give you away to anyone.”

He was Michael’s only son and Joel’s nephew; if she gave him away to someone else, she would certainly be skinned alive! Besides, Nathan was so cute. She wanted to keep him for herself and couldn’t possibly give him away to someone else.

Nathan nodded coldly with an unemotional expression on his face. However, he felt slightly content deep within his heart. Then, he continued to enjoy his popsicle; he just liked to see Sophia fighting with others over him. It proved that he was far more important to Sophia compared to Michael!

Everyone was impressed by Sophia’s courage and agreed with her decision secretly. However, they noticed the grim look on Miss Faye’s face at the same time.

Faye stared at Sophia in disbelief. “What did you say?”

Sophia replied to her seriously word by word. “Sorry, I’m not giving my son away to anyone.”

“How dare you reject me?”

Faye was already very frustrated when she had failed to persuade Nathan to come and join her team. Now, Sophia rejected her offer in front of everyone! She lost her temper as a menacing aura emitted from her body, which frightened the surrounding students as they took two steps backward quietly at once.

The fight has started! Sophia and the wealthy daughter of the Edwards Family have started fighting!

The ecstatic Xyla took several steps backward. She immediately stopped Richard and pulled him away when she noticed that he was about to put in a good word for Sophia. She reminded him in a low voice, “Richard, don’t you see that my cousin is very angry now? Don’t go…”

Looking at the furious Faye, Richard had no choice but to step back. He felt very sorry for Sophia.

The students slowly moved away from the duo, and a huge space appeared around Sophia and Faye.

Seemingly not worried about Sophia at all, Gemma took Nathan to one side. She continued to enjoy her popsicle while watching the drama unfold at the same time.

Faye snickered coldly while folding her arms across her chest. She looked so proud that a sense of intense superiority emitted from all over her body. A triumphant smile flickered in her eyes; she looked like a high-ranking officer who had gone undercover to check on his neighborhood. On the other hand, the Sophia in front of her was a low-ranking, ignorant and corrupt officer.

She held her head high up in the air arrogantly and asked, “Do you know who I am?”

Sophia answered honestly, “I don’t know.”

Faye chuckled. She then glared at Sophia with her bulging eyes and put on a weak, intimidating look on her face. “I’m Faye from the Edwards Family!”

Sophia looked puzzled. She even asked, “So what if you’re an Edwards?”

The surrounding spectators held their breaths for Sophia. Even if Sophia was just an ordinary student, she should have learned about the basic social hierarchy in Bayside City first! Oh no, she’s finished! She’s doomed! She doesn’t even know what it means to be an Edwards and what the family represents in Bayside City!

Faye was so furious with Sophia’s arrogance and ignorance that she chuckled drily. “I’m an Edwards, one of the Four Great Families in Bayside City!”

It was as if Sophia had finally realized why Faye was so proud of her family name. “It’s not a big deal if you’re an Edwards! Nathan is a Fletcher—he has the same surname as General Joel!”

Everyone was almost bewildered by Sophia’s incredibly amusing response!

It was just a coincidence for Nathan to have the same family name as Joel. However, Faye was indeed part of the Edwards Family who were known as one of the Four Great Families in Bayside City. One simply couldn’t compare Nathan to Faye at all!

Faye goggled at Sophia as her jaw dropped. She’s probably never seen a bigger idiot than Sophia before! How did a girl as dumb as her get accepted into Bayside University?

She insulted viciously, “It doesn’t matter if you don’t know about the Edwards. You just need to know that I have the final say in Bayside University as well as in this camp!”

Sophia snickered instead. “If you’re so capable, why did you join the military training?”

Faye couldn’t refute Sophia. The military training may seem very strict, but if one really had the power and influence, they could simply skip this module. Clearly, people who joined the military training were those without powerful connections.

Students who were really powerful and influential didn’t have to join the military training and go through these hardships at all; even if their family wanted them to join, they wouldn’t be arranged to train in the same platoon as the ordinary students.

Sophia continued, “If you’re so incredible, why don’t you just ask the drill instructors to give you a perfect score immediately? It would be great if you could just receive a perfect score while enjoying some watermelon at home in your air-conditioned room!”

Everyone started to gossip among themselves upon hearing Sophia’s words. That’s right—if Faye was really that powerful, wouldn’t she be able to get a perfect score anyhow?
