My Dreamy Old Husband novel Chapter 108

Sophia was constantly getting knocked down, and Joel couldn’t stand it anymore. He went over to pat Stanley on the shoulder and said, “Come on, she’s a girl.”

Stanley grinned and replied, “I have been merciful, but she’s soft.” The first day of tactical combat training ended with Sophie being hit countless times.

After practicing tactical combat, they did formation practice for an hour. The Superb Company’s formation practice was different from the usual companies.

Just for raising their feet, they practiced for half an hour. Joel pulled a line stained with white powder under everyone’s feet. Whoever got powder on their pants would have to do 300 push-ups. On the first day, Sophia did not get the hang of it, and she had to do 300 push-ups.

After everyone went back to bathe and rest, Joel stood there, personally supervising Sophia until she completed her 300 push-ups. One was supervising while the other was doing the push-ups, and Nathan sat to one side, eyes wide while he stared at them.

The street lamps bathed everything in a warm light. Joel walked around and paced on one side, all the while watching the girl on the ground, doing push-ups determinedly.

Without a hint of expression, he said, “If it’s too hard, you can still apply to return to an ordinary company.” Sophia didn’t say a word as she completed the 300 push-ups. Although she took several breaks throughout, she still managed to complete the whole set.

She dragged her tired body back to her room. Just as she opened her door, the door next to her swung open. Stanley had changed into his pajamas and was brushing his teeth. He had become a soldier right after finishing his college entrance exam.

After serving for two years, he decided to continue his studies. Thus, this kind of military training was a piece of cake for him. He looked at Sophia, whose body seemed to be hollowed out, and said with a smile, “Aren’t you tired, little one?

If you are, apply to return to your regular company as soon as possible!” Sophia looked at him with a half-lidded gaze, not saying a word. She opened her room door and went in dejectedly. When she saw her bed, her whole body felt weak and she wanted to fall onto the bed, but the grass clippings and mud on her body prevented her from doing so.

 

She bathed quickly and lay down on the bed without even bothering to wash her hair, feeling extremely tired. Nathan had also followed her back, and he was tired as well.

He took a shower and lay down on the bed next to her. Sophia lay there, her mind filled with Joel and Stanley’s words. She was tired, but her brain could not slow down.
Apply to return to my original company? How is that possible? The Superb Company’s training is actually not that strict. None of the students are from a military academy. Besides Stanley, everyone else are non-professionals. If they can do it, I can do it too!

Sophia made up her mind to not be defeated. She took the iPad out, and found out that there was WiFi in the room. Connecting, she logged onto her Messenger. She didn’t have many friends on Messenger, so there wasn’t much to catch up on, even though she hadn’t logged on for more than 20 days.

The news records of her classmate group had been cut off after she entered the military camp. She then opened IG Stories and saw Hale sharing his career as a bodyguard, riding her horse, driving her car and even training under her fitness trainer!

To her surprise, her Messenger was flooded with plenty of friend requests. Some of the few included, ‘Little sister, it’s me, Gemma.’ Daniel Levine’s message said, ‘Mrs. Fletcher, add me.’ These were the few that she recognized. After looking through, she began to change their names one by one to Sundae Cone, Gem Gem, Daniel and Richard.
