What kind of little secret was it that couldn’t see the light of day? Were there any other little secrets that he wasn’t allowed to know?!
Nathan followed her hastily and said, “I want to come along as well!”
In truth, Nathan just wanted to see who Sophia was going to show that ‘little secret’ to!
Ever since the Phantom Wolf incident, Sophia had become far more alert. Today, she deliberately got Hale to drive her over while Gemma tagged along.
“Hale, please stop by the post office for a bit.”
Hale stopped outside of the post office. Sophia got out of the car and bought some stamps before pasting them onto the envelope and mailing it.
Nathan watched and silently memorized the address on the envelope. It was an address in their city, but she hadn’t put down her own address as the sender.
Once she mailed the letter off, Sophia blissfully trotted back to the car and continued her journey.
She kept looking out of the window throughout the drive, her thoughts constantly on the love letter from earlier. She wondered if Michael would end up seeing it. However, she knew that he wouldn’t get to read that letter; it would probably be headed straight for the bin instead. Sophia had prepared for the letter to not be read, so she did not leave any identifying personal details in it.
The letter was posted directly to the administrator of the fan group she was in. The administrator would pack up all the gifts the fans had sent in and hand them over to Imperial Entertainment, which was Taylor’s managing company; whether he would actually see it depended on his luck right now.
Even though she knew it wasn’t possible for him to read it, Sophia still felt that she hadn’t written the letter for nothing. She had at least written it, and it even took up three sheets of paper for a total of three full pages.
She was so lost in the romanticness of her love letter that she didn’t notice the alert looks everyone else in the car was giving her.
Defcon! Major alert! Code red!
When Michael got to know about this from across the ocean, he was working by the beach. He was so panicked by it that he nearly leaped into the water and swam straight home.
“Find out who that person is for me; not only that, castrate him immediately!”
Sophia and Nathan finally arrived at the gate of the residential area Quinton lived in. Sophia’s classmates were already waiting there, and all of them had bags of various sizes in their hands filled with everything from supplements to fruits. Sophia laughed and chatted with everyone as she entered the residential area with her chicken soup in hand.
“Hey, Sophia! You’ve made some soup too. I brought some borscht.”
“I made vegetable soup instead.”
Just her class alone had about four to five students who decided to bring soup—and fancier soup at that. There was borscht, beef and wine soup, and vegetable soup. Sophia’s chicken soup seemed very plain in comparison to other offerings.
Quinton was a highly intelligent academic who returned after his studies abroad. He had a doctorate from a famous university overseas, and he was also the second son of Bayside City’s esteemed Clark Family. Hence, it was no surprise that he lived in a fancy residential district.
While his home wasn’t as extravagant as The Imperial, it was a three-storey house with a garage, a spacious basement, and a garden. It was fortunate that his home was as spacious as it was, or else he wouldn’t be able to fit all the gifts inside. Another class had come by earlier this morning, and the housekeeper already placed the gifts neatly in the living room. The living room was filled with so many letters, flowers, supplements, and other presents that it was close to being overrun.
Sophia followed her classmates in and placed her soup to the side; the table was already stacked with containers of soup, and there had to be at least a dozen containers. They then filed into Quinton’s room.
Apart from being a handsome man, Quinton also had a pleasant personality to match. He had only been teaching at Bayside University for less than two years, but his popularity was extraordinary.
Quinton hadn’t fully recovered yet, his face still as sickly pale as before; those beautiful eyes of his were lethargic as he continued to recuperate in bed. Everyone knew that he had to rest, so they left after only staying for a while. When they left, Nathan eyed Sophia’s container of soup pitifully. Lost among all the other containers, her grey thermal container looked absolutely nondescript.
Quinton would never be able to finish all that soup even if he ran a bath with it. Wouldn’t it be a waste for Sophia to leave that soup here?!
Nathan was really displeased, still thinking about the chicken soup even after they had long left Quinton’s house. Throughout the journey, he remained unhappy.
Quinton’s home was filled with another wave of presents now that Sophia and her classmates had left. Quinton got up from his bed, his frail body clad in a plain set of white pajamas. He made his way to the table filled with containers of soup, reaching out a pale hand to grab a grey container. The delicious aroma of chicken soup greeted him when he twisted the lid open, and Quinton’s pale face perked up in an instant at the smell of it.
Meanwhile, Nathan maintained a mutinous expression since leaving Quinton’s home. He was still thinking about that chicken soup.
