My Dreamy Old Husband novel Chapter 167

A tiny person screamed in Sophia’s heart, Arghhh! Don’t come near me! Didn’t we just have dinner together? Why is he still here? Upon recalling the face-off during the meal, Sophia couldn’t help but feel as if she had walked out of the ordeal barely alive. If I have to go through another similar meal, I would rather die!

She answered elegantly without missing a beat, “General, thank you for keeping this promise in mind. I managed to obtain a perfect score in military training all thanks to your guidance and encouragement, General!”

Suddenly, two pieces of earth-shattering news got out! Sophia was the only person who received a perfect score during Bayside University’s military training? Wasn’t she expelled? If she was the only one with a perfect score, it means she got first place. The person who receives the Best Individual award in the military training gets to have a meal with the General, Joel. Does it mean that Joel is here for Sophia—the person who received the Best Individual award? Does it mean that he isn’t here for Kayla?

The man wearing his military attire and the girl who was illuminated by the moonlight, looked like an exceptionally handsome couple. No one dared to come forward to bother them. Joel held back his strong aura before speaking to her gently, “I received news today that you were here. Hence, I rushed over. I hope I’m not too late.”

Joel’s taut lips relaxed slightly. “Well, that’s great. Can I share a dance with you at the ball after the banquet?”

The tiny person in Sophia’s heart waved her hand frantically. No, I don’t want to! Stay as far away as possible from me! She could only reject him. “I’m not good at dancing.”

Seeing that his uncle had arrived, as well as noticing that the situation was under control, Stanley rushed over while tugging against Nathan’s hand. “Someone stepped on Sophie’s dress, and it looks extremely ugly now. Forget about attending the banquet; why don’t we go somewhere else for food?”

Uncle Joel is extremely posh, and so the Harpers would reap the benefits the longer he stays here in their banquet. Since we have sufficiently humiliated them, it’s best to keep his merits and fame to ourselves and leave as soon as possible. We wouldn’t want the Harpers to take advantage of Uncle Joel.

Joel nodded in agreement. I don’t like this sort of messy banquet at all. I wouldn’t have shown up here if I hadn’t learned that Sophia was here.

Sophia walked toward the entrance after she said her piece. No one dared to stop her now. Who would have the audacity to stop her with the presence of Joel and rows of soldiers to make way for her?

Meanwhile, Kayla’s heart sank when she witnessed that. It turns out Joel isn’t here for me. No, even though he didn’t show up for my sake, since Joel has seen me, he must be interested in my breathtaking good looks! He wouldn’t have decided to leave if it weren’t for Sophia! Sophia is truly a b*tch! How dare she seduce my Joel! She has a death wish! Besides, who on earth is Stanley? Who does he think he is to shove me away?! This is my birthday banquet. Everyone should pay attention to me, and that includes Joel!

She then walked to Joel’s side quietly before deliberately saying, “Joel, if you think it’s too noisy here, I can take you to somewhere quiet!”

However, Joel acted as if he did not hear her at all; instead, he spoke gently to Sophia, “Let’s go.”

Sophia had Stanley and Joel flanking her, whereas Nathan clung onto her dress from behind. After that, the three Fletchers escorted her out.

“Joel, wait for me! Wait for me!” Kayla chased after Joel in a hurry; unfortunately, he acted as if he didn’t see her. Who on earth is Kayla?

Kayla chased after Joel closely from behind, but he didn’t even spare her a glance. As the leading character for tonight’s event, Kayla was the center of attention. Hence, she stopped chasing after Joel after taking a couple of steps. She wanted to chase after him, but she didn’t have the courage because he obviously only had eyes for Sophia. Kayla figured it was apparent that he wasn’t bothered by her, and so she didn’t want to further embarrass herself by throwing herself at him.

However, Kayla felt extremely unsatisfied while staring at the direction where Sophia and Joel left. She stomped her feet in frustration, and she could feel the anger boiling in her chest. The fury in her chest felt as if it was about to burst forth anytime as tears brimmed in her eyes. How did this happen?! This is all Sophia’s fault! No wonder she showed up for this despite the challenges. It turns out it’s because she learned that Joel is coming, and that was why she dressed up ostentatiously to seduce him! Joel came here for me, but Sophia, that vixen, snatched him away! That must be it! That’s the only explanation!
