My Dreamy Old Husband novel Chapter 333

Both Stanley and Sean had arrived at that moment. While setting up the equipment, Stanley saw how nervous Sophia was and tried to calm her down. “Stop worrying, we have a killer performance lined up. We’re gonna win this! Come on, look at me. Let’s take deep breaths. Breathe in, breathe out.”

Sophia had never been such a nervous wreck until that very moment.

At that moment, Sean chimed in. “If you’re feeling nervous, just hold your amulet. Your dad had it on him for 29 years and he aced every test. Just hold it and you’ll feel better.”

Upon hearing that, she reached out to touch her amulet and prayed. “God bless me. Please watch over me.”

While the other girls were already prepared, she took her time and went to get her outfit.

“Sophia, you really came!”

The voice came from behind her. As soon as she turned, she saw Faye’s unfamiliar face.

It was not too long ago since Sophia last saw her, but she looked like she underwent puberty again. She no longer looked like the Faye Edwards that Sophia remembered—the girl looked as if she had bigger eyes with softer cheeks. Not only did her forehead look fuller, but her nose was sharper too!

Faye and Xyla had walked together as they approached Sophia with Richard following behind them.

It was because of Sophia that Xyla and Richard became the laughing stock of Bayside University and as a result, disgust and hatred were clearly etched on their faces.

To Sophia, they looked better with that expression on their faces. In fact, she preferred it over their condescending attitudes.

Glancing at the trio, Xyla rolled her eyes. “A performance is a requirement for the campus belle contest. I wonder what you have planned. Wait, let me guess… Are you writing calligraphy?”

Faye immediately added and laughed, “Perhaps she’ll ace a test on stage, haha!”

Before Sophia could respond, the overprotective Stanley strode over and stood before Richard. In addition to his bronze crew cut, he looked vicious with an angry scowl on his face, making a startled Richard backing away quickly. “Hey! If you’re gonna pick on my aunt, you’ll have to go through me!”

Richard knew he couldn’t beat Stanley in a fight—he didn’t even have the guts to do so. Therefore, he flashed a cold smile.

As a matter of fact, Richard had already done his research on Stanley Fletcher. While the Fletchers were a big family, some members were less favored and powerless.

The Fletcher Family came from a military background for generations, making it a tradition for its members to attend a military academy. Therefore, by attending Bayside University, Stanley was a nobody among the Fletchers and only used his family name to get his way.

“I’m not going to fight you. I’m just here to support my ex.” Richard fixed his tuxedo that was disheveled as a result of stepping back from Stanley earlier.

Upon hearing that, Stanley was about to respond before Sophia interrupted from behind. “That’s enough, Stan. Be careful or you might catch an STD.”

STD!

Upon hearing that term, everyone at the scene was shocked. Richard clenched his fists while his face wore a ghastly expression; his glare went past Stanley and met Sophia’s smiling eyes.

She was half-smiling and looked at Richard as if her sharp eyes could see through his soul.
