My Dreamy Old Husband novel Chapter 134

Richard decided not to let Sophia escape anymore; hence, he grabbed her arms and spoke to her in a serious tone, “Sophia, I have decided to marry Xyla and she’s the only person whom I will marry. We have decided to become engaged. Let bygones be bygones, shall we? I hope you can have a happy life and find the perfect one for you.”

She had no idea why the both of them suddenly looked at her and said those baffling words. While lowering her head to look for her keys, she nodded carelessly. “Okay.”

Richard knew that she was merely brushing them off and still scheming to destroy their relationship. He held her arms tightly as his tone became more serious. “Sophia, it’s impossible for us to reconcile. Both Xyla and I are about to get engaged, so we hope you can give us your sincere blessings.”

Sophia had finally found her keys, but he was still tightly grabbing onto her. She kept her patience and expressed herself in a clear but serious tone, “I hope you have a happy engagement as well as a long and happy life together. I also understand that our relationship is in the past now. For everything that happened in the past, just let it slide. After all, we were all so young and immature. It would have been normal for us to hurt each other back then.”

Grabbing her arms, he looked at her solemnly. “Sophia, I’m not messing around with you. I hope you can leave the past and start a new life. It’s impossible for us to be together anymore.”

Xyla also added, “Yes, Sophia. There’s no point in pestering Richard. There are so many talented guys here at Bayside University. You can totally find yourself another man.”

Sophia, who had been blocked by them, looked at the sky in speechlessness. How can I make them believe that I’m not interested in Richard and being his wife anymore? Do I really have to beat them up again?

She tried to break free from Richard’s grip, but he still held onto her tightly. “Sophia, I want you to swear that you won’t pester us anymore. Otherwise, I won’t let you go.”

As it was after her lecture, many people were looking at the three of them.

She realized that apart from punching him, there was no other evidence to show him that she was already over him.

Hence, she quietly raised her fist.

Suddenly, a flamboyant country metal music boomed in the distance while getting closer to them.

Then, a punk-styled black motorcycle stopped right next to Sophia, making her annoyed with the heavy beats blasting in her ears.

A man sat on the motorcycle, wearing a set of punk attire in black with long pants and black boots. His entire body was full of studs, revealing a black belt with many piercings with his leather jacket unzipped.

The man removed his black helmet to reveal a sharp face. Thinking that he was handsome, he touched his shaved head and turned. A piercing in his left ear shone, matching his look with the punk motorcycle and the beat of the country metal music. He looked like a non-mainstream young man, who had just returned from the construction site after moving bricks.

He was rather annoying when he spoke. “Yo, Sophia! What are you doing here?” While speaking, he turned off the loud, blasting music.

Sophia stoically looked at Stanley. Taking advantage of Richard’s surprise at Stanley’s arrival, she quickly removed her arm from his grip and coldly replied, “Nothing. Just speaking with my ex here.” This fella was in normal attire in the army. I can’t believe that he looks like this in university. If his uncle sees the way he looks right now, he will definitely break his leg!

Even though he’s no longer in the military, he is still part of the Fletcher Family and his parents are professors in Bayside University. On top of that, he is a senior engineer who has retired from the military with an older brother who’s already a lieutenant in the army. No matter what, this fellow should not look like he is someone from the countryside holding a blue collar job!

After all, he comes from a top military family that’s almost as wealthy as a country, the Fletcher Family. On top of that, he’s also Joel’s biological younger cousin and the direct heir of the Fletcher Family!

I know that the people from the Fletchers family are quite ‘low-profile’, but I didn’t expect it’s too this extent!

His arrival had shocked everyone there, considering that Bayside University was a solemn and prestigious place. For good or for bad, his arrival immediately made him stand out from the crowd as he was a punk guy with a shaved head. However, he was definitely good-looking enough to attract all the girls near him.

Looking at Stanley, Richard became immediately vigilant, especially after hearing him saying ‘Sophia’. Subconsciously, he asked in the tone of her boyfriend, “Who is this?”

“Her current boyfriend!” Stanley hugged Sophia’s shoulders as he replied loudly.

Sophia rolled her eyes and forced herself to admit to it. “Yes, he’s my current boyfriend.” Now that I have a boyfriend, is it enough to prove that I no longer have wild fantasies of Richard?

However, Richard still appraised Stanley from head to toe. This punk, non-mainstream guy obviously did not come from a decent background in Richard’s opinion. Hence, it made him feel terrible. Although he was about to be engaged with Xyla, he subconsciously felt disappointed and angry when he heard that Sophia had another boyfriend. How can this punk guy be good enough for Sophia? Only someone with my talents and looks will suit her! Is Sophia giving up on herself? Did she decide to torture herself after she couldn’t be with me?

However, Xyla felt that a b*tch like Sophia suited a punk guy like Stanley, so she congratulated them. “I see. Seems like you guys had already started dating during the military training. Congrats and I send you all my blessings.”

However, she could not hide her contempt and disgust in her eyes.

Sophia nodded. “Thanks. Our relationship is going well. I shall head off first.”

She rode on her motorcycle and sped off after starting the engine.

Stanley chased after her with his punk-looking motorcycle. Amid the blaring beats, he yelled anxiously, “Hey, Sophia! Why are you so ruthless? Wait for me!”

Both the motorcycles sped away. Looking at the disappearing figures of the pair of them, Richard did not feel too good, but he couldn’t describe his feelings right now.

Even though he wanted Sophia to give up on him, he felt that an important piece of him was missing when she had finally moved on.

Sophia did not have any lectures in the afternoon, she planned to head to the gym before returning home. However, Stanley chased after her and they were unknowingly out of the Bayside University campus at that moment. “Hey, Sophia! Where are you going? Come, I’ll bring you to have some fun!”

A traffic light was in front of them, so she stopped to wait for the red light while replying in disgust, “I won’t go.”

However, he did not give up. “Let’s go! Nate says that you’re also playing the ‘Swordsman Game’! I’m going to play the game too! Do you know that it’s going to be the first anniversary of the game? There’s an anniversary event that’s going to happen soon and it only lasts for 12 hours. It starts from noon to midnight and you will gain twice the experience. On top of that, there will be a greater chance to obtain legendary items, and there are many other activities going on, like fights between clans. Let’s go and play together! Come on!”
