My Dreamy Old Husband novel Chapter 236

The woman smiled. She looked exceptionally beautiful as she said gently, “Oh, you’re students from Bayside University—nice to meet you! I am Irene Weber, and I graduated from Bayside University too! In that case, we are all alumni!”

Sophia greeted her politely. “Nice to meet you, Miss Weber. My name is Sophia.”

Irene Weber?

The name sounded familiar.

Richard recognized her immediately.

Irene was a famous military singer; she had become a huge figure in Cethos at such a young age. Every year, she would be invited to the Spring Festival Gala; she would be invited whenever the President hosted private concerts for international guests as well.

Not only that, Irene appeared in most thematic dramas on Cethos Central Television, and she was also an honorary professor at Bayside Military Art School.

It was rumored that Irene came from an extraordinary background. However, Richard didn’t expect that she was actually Joel’s woman. Only such a woman is worthy of the General! he thought to himself.

Richard immediately nodded and bowed as he said, “Nice to meet you, Miss Weber. I am Richard, Harper Group’s Deputy Director.”

In a friendly manner, Irene smiled and replied freely, “Nice to meet you, nice to meet you.”

Richard knew that he shouldn’t stay there any longer. He then said, “I have some things to do. Goodbye, General. Goodbye, Miss Weber.”

Joel nodded, but his eyes remained cold.

Immediately turning around, Richard got into the car and left.

It was after he had driven for a distance did Richard realize that his back was covered in cold sweat.

It was such a close call earlier. If Joel found out about Sophia and I, not only would Sophia be dead, I will be affected as well.

However, he didn’t expect that Joel was already with Irene, and they were a perfect match at that. One was from the Fletchers, and one was a celebrity in Bayside City; one was the youngest General in Cethos, and one was a military singer with a military ranking. Regardless of their background, appearance, and age, they matched perfectly well.

How could Sophia compete with someone as fine as Irene? The only thing Irene couldn’t beat Sophia was her age, but that was not even worth mentioning.

Irene would find out about Sophia sooner or later, and she would definitely think of a way to get rid of her. By then, Joel would definitely not want Sophia anymore. She was nothing but an orphan who had no background.

Without Joel, she would definitely come crying to him and beg for his forgiveness by then!

As they watched Richard’s car drive away, Stanley could no longer hold himself back and burst out laughing, “Hahahaha! Sophia, he wanted to bury you in his ancestral tomb! Are you scared?”

Sophia was speechless. All of a sudden, her face turned red. Did they hear this too? Didn’t it mean that they heard the rest of the conversation clearly?!

Immediately, Sophia clarified and said, “I’m sorry, General. He was annoying me; I initially wanted to use your name to scare him, but I didn’t expect him to start talking nonsense…”

“It’s alright.” Joel patted Sophia’s shoulder to comfort her. “It’s just a name; if it’s useful, you’re welcome to use it anytime.”

Sophia’s face turned red again.

At that moment, Joel caught sight of Nathan, who had been hiding behind Sophia the entire time. His expression relaxed as he squatted down and waved toward Nathan. “Nate, come to your Uncle!”

Nathan didn’t want to go over. He hid behind Sophia, unwilling to speak.

Irene looked at Nathan curiously and asked, “Who’s kid is this? He’s so adorable!”

Isn’t Irene Joel’s wife? Why doesn’t she know Nate?

Sophia was confused. She glanced toward Joel and Irene steadily and noticed that their expressions were slightly awkward; it seemed like they had stepped into a prohibited topic.

Stanley laughed suddenly and said in a silly manner, “Irene, Uncle Joel, let’s go now. There will be traffic on our way back to the city!”

The three of them left happily, although Irene said to Stanley unsatisfactorily, “How rude—I am your aunt!”
