Stanley was operating the claw machine while Sophia was very nervous beside him. “Stan, hold on… hold on. Take a deep breath!”
Nathan was still indifferent just now, but at the moment, he also pressed his tiny face against the claw machine nervously as he widened his eyes to look inside while Stanley operated the machine.
Their nervousness also affected Stanley, causing him to be anxious too, but luckily, he still managed to grab a pink bunny in the end with his trembling hands.
“Hehe, I was a top sniper back in my days. My vision is perfect, so this is just a piece of cake!”
The moment Richard came in, he immediately saw Sophia with her non-mainstream punk boyfriend. His eyes were full of contempt as he glared at the current boyfriend of his ex-girlfriend with the gaze of an ex-lover.
Stanley was still dressed in his usual non-mainstream way with his round earrings and skull necklace dangling around his neck. His hairstyle, outfit, and the way he talked revealed his obvious non-mainstream punk style.
Richard shook his head sarcastically after looking at him thoroughly from top to bottom.
The difference between me and this man is enormous.
He subconsciously wanted to show himself in front of Sophia and Stanley so that she could see how dashing he was. Also, he wanted to prove his talents and nobility in front of a non-mainstream person like Stanley.
Even though he constantly told Sophia to forget about him and start over, he still subconsciously wanted to appear in front of her whenever he saw her so that she would forever have a special place for him in her heart—a place where she would unswervingly want to get back together with him again at any time.
However, with Xyla beside him, he couldn’t reveal this urge of his. That was why he was surprised when Xyla pulled him over to Sophia the moment she saw her.
“Richard, it’s Sophia and her new boyfriend. Let’s go over to greet them!”
After that, she pulled him to Sophia on purpose.
She wasn’t satisfied with just driving Sophia away because she wanted to let her know clearly that she could only be with a second-rated non-mainstream boyfriend while she got to be with Richard.
“Sophia! What a coincidence to run into you here!”
As soon as Sophia turned her head around, she could see the dashing Richard and adorable Xyla standing behind her. The two of them really were a match made in heaven.
Then, she nodded calmly. “Hello.”
After that, she picked up the doll and held Nathan’s hand as she was prepared to leave.
However, the other party wasn’t keen on letting them go, so Richard blocked Stanley’s path and extended his hand to him in a friendly way. “Hello. I’m Richard.”
Stanley also knew about the love-hate relationship between Sophia and Richard, so he shook his hand. “Hello. I’m Stanley. I specialize in game development.”
Richard’s eyes were filled with mockery, but on the surface, he seemed very friendly. “So you develop games. It is quite a promising career. And—dare I ask—is your family’s enterprise also in the same field?”
Sophia laughed when she heard his question.
Is he comparing himself to Stanley? Did he come here to make fun of his ex-girlfriend’s current boyfriend?
In fact, Stanley got into Bayside University because of his academic achievements, and his family didn’t donate a penny to the university. Therefore, he was clever enough to understand the meaning behind his words.
