My Dreamy Old Husband novel Chapter 332

“What?” Sophia, who had spent the entire day studying, was bewildered. “I’ve never participated in your contest, let alone be in the semi-finals!”

Upon hearing that, the other person responded, “I’m not too sure on the specifics, but you definitely have signed up for the contest and even sailed past the semi-finals.”

Sophia started to panic. “The problem is I’m not talented at all! I would have to perform, right? What am I going to present?”

The voice in the phone suggested, “According to the details of your registration, you’ve passed the 10th grade in piano. You can perform by playing the piano!”

Acing a test in front of the audience?! Damn, the person wanted to make a fool out of her? They could dream on! Upon glancing at the calendar, she realized that it was already the 15th. How am I going to prepare for a show in 3 days’ time? And playing a piano at that?

She was sure that she would not be the only one who would play the piano and if she did not present something unique, she would not obtain a good score. At that moment, she suddenly realized that Michael would be giving a talk at Bayside University on the 18th.

The venue of the campus belle contest finals seemed to be at the school auditorium on the same day too—if what was stated on the poster was accurate. His talk clashed with the contest! She immediately asked Michael, “Hubby, are you giving a talk at the school on the 18th?”

Upon hearing that, he replied while typing away on his computer, “Yeah, I am giving a talk on campus on the 18th. I’ll also be one of the judges for the campus belle contest while I’m there.”

Sh*t! My idol’s going to be a judge? Does this mean that there will be twenty to thirty girls frolicking in front of my idol? At once, Sophia felt sour—as if envy started to spread in her heart.

Just at that point, he sneakily questioned, “I heard you joined the campus belle contest. Do you want me to give you a high score?

As soon as she heard that, she blushed and hastily ran off. This is not good; my idol is judging the contest. I’m going to embarrass myself in front of him! Other than playing the piano, she couldn’t think of other skills that she could make a performance out of.

That day, Sophia finally went to the piano that she had never touched after passing the final grade, wiped away the dust and played for the entire night. Back then, she did not have a specific goal when she learned the piano—she merely tagged along whenever Richard went for piano lessons every weekend and secretly learned while occasionally practicing at the school’s piano room.

Since she moved in with Michael, she would even play on the piano in his garage when she had nothing to do. Eventually, she hired a teacher and had piano lessons for a year before receiving her Piano Grade 10 Certificate. Since then, she hasn’t played the piano.

Upon hearing the piano’s beautiful melody, Michael was extremely pleased. In fact, he was the one who signed Sophia up for the campus belle contest. His talk had also been deliberately moved to the same day. Not only that, but he had volunteered to be the judge too. If he was being honest, he never intended to embarrass Sophia.

He merely wanted his chica to be more active instead of spending all of her time revising. Even if she played the piano, it was good enough for him. After all, Cooper was a great pianist!

Yet, she thought it was her rivals who sabotaged her to make themselves look good. To avoid being humiliated, she would have to prepare for the contest and set aside her research for the time being. She wanted to steal the show—and for her idol to look at only her instead of others!

As such, Sophia spent the entire night practicing on the piano—it was a Saturday the next day and the campus belle contest finals would be on the following Monday, leaving her with only the weekend to prepare for it.

On Saturday morning, Stanley had brought his dog over to Michael’s place for a visit together with Sean. At the sight of Stanley, Michael immediately became upset. “Why are you here?” he asked coldly.
