My Dreamy Old Husband novel Chapter 197

Curse it all! Even I had never gotten to kiss Sophia. How dare this loser touch my girl! Richard thought.

Much to his surprise, Xyla stopped him in the middle of his charge. “Richard, don’t! Don’t do it! Sophia is now dating Stanley. It’s not the time for us to tear her apart!”

Richard did his best to clamp down on the rage boiling inside. He felt as though his life was crumbling apart. He never expected his own woman would kiss another man in front of him! He felt absolutely betrayed in that instant.

Xyla eyed the furious Richard and Sophia, who had been ‘caught in the act’. Schadenfreude danced in her eyes.

Sophia, let’s just see how you’re going to seduce Richard in the future!

Sophia’s heart jumped in surprise when she caught sight of Richard glaring mutinously at her as she was kissing Michael passionately.

Oh, that look in his eyes! While she didn’t mind it, she had no interest in acting out a kiss in front of her ex-boyfriend. Besides, she was kissing Michael; it was better for this to be done at home behind closed doors.

She pushed Michael lightly. “Hubby, I’m hungry. Let’s go home.”

Michael pecked her on her lips lovingly. “Sure.”

That moment he lowered his head was practically a moment when he oozed pure handsomeness with nothing else; such perfectly defined lines with an extraordinary beauty and mysteriousness!

Sophia’s face burned. She then took Nathan’s hand and headed outside with Michael.

Richard followed them in displeasure. He watched on helplessly as Sophia and that loser ‘Stanley’ smiled and chatted before leaving right from his sight. ‘Stanley’ even had an arm wrapped around Sophia’s shoulders. The two of them were no different from any couple on campus. The only thing that differed was the little third wheel walking next to them.
Richard’s face turned purple from anger as he watched this ‘family of three’. The sense of betrayal he felt grew even more.

Xyla was revelling in all of this. She pulled on Richard’s arm and consoled him. “Richard, don’t be mad. Let’s all get along now. It’s lucky that you found out about her tendency to shift targets in time. It would have been a disaster if she had gotten into the Harper Family otherwise!”

“Heh.” Richard chuckled coldly and retracted his bone-chilling gaze. “I won’t tear her to pieces for now. Once we’ve made some inroads into the Fletchers…”

He would kick her ruthlessly to the side by then!

Sophia and Michael got into their car and returned home. She couldn’t resist pulling out her phone to see if her ex had sent some weird message to her again, for example, ‘Sophia, I never thought that you’re that kind of person.’ Or maybe it could be something like, ‘You’ve betrayed our love for each other!’

Unfortunately, there was nothing. On the contrary, Richard had sent this instead. ‘Sophia, I had miscalculated during today’s match. I hadn’t expected Stanley to be able to find some substitutes from outside his school. I won’t let you down next time.’

Huh? He actually isn’t interrogating me or ripping into me? Sophia had a vague idea of Richard’s scheming. They were probably waiting for her, ‘Joel’s mistress’, to whisper in Joel’s ear and figure out a way to marry Kayla Harper into the Fletchers.

When that happened, the Harpers and the Fletchers would be united. The Harpers would probably be sharpening their knives to slaughter the goose then.

It wasn’t like Richard hadn’t done anything like that before. In the past, she had stayed up overnight helping him with the homework that he hadn’t gotten right. She had then sacrificed her rest to help tutor him, but he ended up hooking up with Xyla the moment he got into university.

She knew exactly what her ex had in mind when he sent that!
