My Dreamy Old Husband novel Chapter 199

“Sophia!” Stanley suddenly called her. At this moment, he and his friends had already changed into sports attire and Stanley had a basketball in his hand. “We’re going to another place for a round of matches. Are you coming?”

As Sophia was still disappointed about Michael’s early departure, she was upset and was going to decline. However, little did she expect that a voice would suddenly ring behind her. “Of course. She’s going.”

In an instant, Sophia found that her world had become lively again. Hence, when she turned her head and looked at the man who had showed up, her eyes were literally sparkling.

She did not know when Michael went and changed into sports attire. He looked just like a student in the Bayside University in his recently done buzz cut. It was hard to accept that this lively and handsome guy was actually a 32-year-old man.

Since Sophia’s idol was going, she would certainly go too!

Happily, she followed them to a rather deserted basketball court and started playing.

Although the court was full of young, energetic Bayside University students, the 32-year-old Michael did not stand out among them at all.

While they were playing, Sophia peeked at Michael and could not help but exclaim in her mind, How can his skin be so flawless? He looks so young and he doesn’t look his age at all! His performance also doesn’t make him look like a man in his thirties, let alone his skin condition. No wonder he was chosen to act as a handsome high school student in the movie. The role suits him perfectly! Ah! My idol!

Meanwhile, Gary and Hale quietly stood aside and watched them play. Nathan was sitting and waiting for them too.

During the interval, Sophia took a rest to drink some water. In the meantime, she did not forget to keep her eyes on her idol who was scoring goals too.

The more I look at him, the more handsome I find him to be!

“Hey! Sophia!” Stanley, who had left the court for some water, patted on Sophia’s shoulders forcefully. Then, he said with a disdainful look, “Is this your first time meeting men? You look so obsessed that you’re almost drooling! Don’t you feel embarrassed?”

Hurriedly, Sophia regained her calm composure.

Did I show my admiration so obviously just now? Somebody please tell me that I didn’t! If I really had shown it, wouldn’t Tay Tay have seen it too? It’s so embarrassing!

When Stanley finished drinking water and took out his phone to check the time, he saw an unknown number calling him.

Turning around, he picked up the call. “Hello? May I know who this is?”

On the other end of the phone, the man’s voice echoed as though he was in some enclosed space. “I’m Richard.”

Stanley laughed. “What’s up, Harps?”

Richard only said after snorting, “Stanley, I know that you’re in a relationship with Sophia now. However, I really pity you. Do you even know your girlfriend’s true colors?”

This piqued Stanley’s interests and he asked, “Oh? I don’t know. Can you tell me about it?”

Being merciless, Richard exposed Sophia’s most embarrassing side without hesitation. “I’m afraid that you don’t know about this, but I’m the only man in Sophia’s heart because she’s even willing to get into Joel’s bed for me! How can you still accept such a woman?”

After a few seconds of silence, Stanley just laughed out loud. “Harps, I’m dying of laughter now. Hahahahaha!”

On the other end of the phone, Richard shook his head and felt amused. Stanley is really just a foolish man who only knows gaming.

“During the charity banquet at the Harpers, did you know why Joel showed up? He was only there because Sophia had asked him to! Then, why did you think that Joel would listen to her? It’s because they’re having an affair now!”

Stanley was highly amused at Michael’s delusion now, and he could not suppress his laughter. “Hahaha! Continue, please.”

Richard continued saying, “Even though she’s Joel’s mistress now, she still only thinks of me. The only reason she’s with Joel is because of me. I’ve promised to offer her a position in the Harper Group once I’ve gained enough power! What can you offer her then? You’re incomparable to me! Do you understand?!”

Richard was literally yelling now. Sophia could only belong to him!

Whenever he thought about her kissing Stanley, he could not hold back his fury; it was as though his precious treasure had been stolen.

That precious treasure of his was Sophia. Although he could leave her hanging when he was bored and only talked to her whenever he remembered her, he could not bear seeing other people casting their eyes on her! She only belonged to him!

Most importantly, he felt humiliated upon seeing other people cherishing his girlfriend whom he had abandoned. He felt as though his pride and dignity were trampled.

Meanwhile, Stanley was seemingly frightened by Richard’s words because he had been being silent on the other end of the phone. When Richard thought that Stanley was convinced, Stanley began howling in laughter. “Hahahaha! Are you trying to kill me with jokes so that you can get my game account?”

This made Richard feel helpless. Since he had revealed Sophia’s ugliest side, he had nothing else to tell Richard anymore. Hence, he reminded Stanley for the last time, “Similar to Joel, you’re also just a tool to Sophia. I’m the only man in her heart.”

This time, Stanley finally stopped laughing and asked seriously after taking a deep breath, “I’m just a nerd who only knows gaming. May I know which part of me that you think she can use, Mr. Harper?”

This made Richard become lost for words. In the end, he made up a perfect excuse. “Sophia is a girl who doesn’t like showing her weak side to people. That’s why she’s shy from letting people know that I’m the only man in her heart. No matter what, you’re just her tool and you can’t stop us from getting together!”

While holding back his laughter, Stanley continued asking, “Since Sophia has already slept with Joel, what advantages do you think you have in comparison to Joel? What is it that makes Sophia remain loyal to you?”

Again, Richard was lost for words because he had thought about this question too.

As Joel was going to be the youngest general in Cethos, what would happen if Sophia really chose Joel over him in the end?

Not willing to admit defeat, Richard roared, “She only loves me!”

All of a sudden, someone’s faint voice could be heard from the other end of the phone. “Where are you, Richard? I’ve been waiting for you for a long time!”

Richard hurriedly ended the call.

After being hung up, Stanley finally understood why Sophia did not want to speak another word with this ex of hers—it was because she would die of laughter!

Sophia only has Richard in her heart? What nonsense! She’s totally charmed by Uncle Michael now!

After keeping his phone away, Stanley suddenly thought of Michael’s words. He said that Sophia is married, right? How is this possible? He must be lying to me. How could she possibly be married at such a young age? The reason he has told me this must be that he doesn’t wish to see me flirting with his son’s nanny.
