My Dreamy Old Husband novel Chapter 131

Nathan immediately came skipping out, but he pulled a long face. “My dad’s movie is premiering soon. Come and watch the movie with me!” We naturally have to catch Tay Tay’s movie!

Sophia used her phone to check the movie tickets online, but replied to Nathan with regret, “Nope, only the pre-sale tickets are available now. There’s about another week or so before it’s finally premiering!”

He was adamant. “That’s impossible. It’s today, for sure. Hale mentioned that it’ll be screening in the movie theaters today!”

Hence, she checked a few more movie theaters, but there were no tickets available. Maybe there are live screenings?

Early next morning, she thought of playing the game again, but he suddenly appeared while gazing at her in disdain. “Just look at you. You are so sunburned that you look like a piece of charcoal. You are such an eyesore!”

Sophia had a look of herself, realizing with a start that she was indeed tanner than before. She was afraid that Nathan would dislike her appearance, so she made a phone call to a beauty salon to make reservations for a whitening package.

He tagged along for the appointment and kept an eye while she completed her whitening package. Then, he urged her to have a foot bath and full body massage. It was already in the afternoon when they left the beauty salon, so she started to look for an Internet café to play games.

He wore a sour expression, commenting, “There are only instant noodles in the Internet café. I don’t like it. I’m not going there.”

Sophia had no choice but to abandon her plans since he did not like it. Well, let’s go home to play games then. After all, our laptops and the Internet at home are much more powerful and faster than the one offered in the Internet café.

However, once they arrived home, Nathan looked upset when she sat in front of her laptop. “I knew you would want to play games. You don’t care about me at all! Someone stole my account, but you wouldn’t even get it back for me!”

From then on, she did not bring up the topic of playing games again.

In the current era where there was fast network connection, news spread like wildfire on the Internet, no matter what it was.

Bayside University had their own student forum with many active users on the platform. Hence, the forum would start to buzz once rumors were started on campus.

There were many sections in the forum—with the most popular ones being the gossip segment, novel exchange, fantasy beauty football, etc. Besides, there were also sections for wealthy students, such as the section for car talks.

Nevertheless, the most active section was the gossip segment.

Once the commencing students had completed their military training for that year and had their cellphones returned to them, they started to spam the gossip segment. Several main posts on the first page erupted in popularity in a very short period. The traffic and comments rocketed upward.

‘Shocking news! This year, Young Master Fletcher has actually presented himself as a reward for the winner of the Best Company Award!’

‘A biography of a girl from Company 49: I had dinner with Michael Fletcher.’

‘Does anyone know where Sophia Edwards is?’

‘Conjectures about the identity of the winner of the Best Individual Award for this year’s military training.’

‘Friends who failed the military training, come here and join me.’

‘Requesting for the handsome Superb Company’s contact details.’

Sophia read the forum posts at home. The Bayside University’s forum was a private forum, which meant that the university students had to log in with their student IDs. Therefore, the users on the forum were no doubt Bayside University students.

There were many gossips during the military camp for the current year’s commencing students. Having that dinner with Joel has stirred up such a commotion. Besides, those dramas like the legal wife putting the mistress in their place and playboys being involved during military training—hence the forum has especially been active for the past two days.

Sophia clicked on ‘The overbearing young master fell for me’ to check it out. It was a homosexual novel portraying Taylor Murray and Joel Fletcher, where the evil Emperor was the best actor on top with the passionate special force soldiers at the bottom. Oh, my God! This is so exciting! Although it’s quite a stretch from the truth, which I’m aware of.

From everybody’s point of view, Taylor and Joel were a Best Actor and a military figure respectively. Hence, the two of them had not been previously associated with each other. In fact everyone assumed that it was their first encounter. Even though it may have been such, everyone’s imaginations were already running wild with all sorts of possibilities.

Simultaneously, Richard was also browsing the forum and mainly reading the post on ‘Does anyone know where Sophia Edwards is?’.

The post had discussed what happened that night. After that, it was revealed that Sophia was the one who whacked Faye before completely disappearing. No one knew where she went or saw her when they left the barracks. She was the only missing one in the vehicle for Company 49.

However, those from Company 49 claimed that she did not disappear and was not expelled either.

However, everybody assumed that it was the end of Sophia because it would not have ended well for her, considering that she beat up someone from the Edwards Family.

He read all of the comments in the forum. Most people analyzed and commented that Bayside University had most probably already expelled Sophia. In fact, they seemed confident with their claims.

He had also sent a message to Sophia on Messenger to clarify about that point, considering that she did not answer his phone calls. Furthermore, she did not reply to the questions posted on her social platforms, such as Skype and Twitter as well as on the forum. There was nothing on Sophia’s IG Stories as well.

Richard was sure that Sophia must have received zero marks for the military training and expelled in the middle of the training. She might still be attending school at Bayside University, but she has already offended the Edwards Family. Hence, she probably won’t survive long at university too. The Edwards Family merely have to say the word and Sophia would forever disappear from Bayside University. In fact, they could instantly make her vanish from the face of the Earth.

He browsed through the news in the forum; the more he read about Sophia, the more worried he became. However, he was helpless. Why on earth did Sophia offend the Edwards Family? She even whacked Miss Faye so badly that she suffered a nosebleed and had to be sent out of the military camp for treatment.

I wonder how Faye is now; maybe she didn’t survive the beating.

After reading the gossip, Richard closed his Internet browser and opened some work documents. He had left for half a month, so there was a pile of documents that he needed to peruse.

Suddenly, a pair of fair and small hands pushed open the study’s door. Then, a pair of fine, diamond-encrusted stilettos walked lightly across the dark red carpet to enter the study. He had a whiff of the light lemon fragrance, so he looked up from his laptop and saw a girl wearing a white dress, standing by the entrance.

The girl’s fair and flawless skin radiated under the illumination of the study’s lights. Her intricate and near-perfect facial features gave her an almost elf-like appearance. “Richard…” Xyla walked into the study in tiny steps and her large eyes somehow sparkled.

Richard stared at her with wide eyes, seemingly in awe. His eyes were completely glued to her slender figure and it was reflected deep in his heart. In fact, he felt that his brain was deprived of oxygen since he had lost his ability to think.

“Xyla.” He stood up abruptly and walked to Xyla, as if doing so on auto-pilot.

Xyla bit her lower lip and tears started to pour from her eyes while sounding aggrieved. “I thought you didn’t want me anymore, Richard.”

Looking at how pure and perfect she was, he forgot about Sophia in the blink of an eye. He wrapped his arm around her waist gently while quietly reassuring Xyla, “How could that happen? I am your boyfriend.”

“Richard! Hehe!” She threw her arms around Richard in happiness and wept for joy.

…

On the other hand, Nathan was monitoring Sophia while she was online because he was worried that she might start playing that game again. However, he fell asleep while he was keeping an eye on her.

Sophia gently placed him on the bed before returning to her laptop.

She was engrossed in the homosexual novel that portrayed Taylor Murray and Joel Fletcher. Once she had finished reading it, she started to look for other novels in the novel exchange segment.

Michael and Harry seem to be a natural pairing for homosexual fantasies. They had merely showed up during the cast and crew meet-and-greet and the joint performance, but there are already homosexual fanfictions about them in less than a day. In fact, there are several literature pieces on them.

There are different pairings like Joel and Harry, Harry and Taylor as well as Taylor and Joel. There are also polygamy storylines too. I can’t believe there’s one portraying Taylor and Nathan; that’s like grooming a little boy.

“Damn it, get out of here!”
