My Dreamy Old Husband novel Chapter 353

So it was Cooper Mitchell! No wonder he looked so familiar!

Apparently, the director and Cooper had worked together on the video. After its release, the entire student crew was amazed. They whispered amongst themselves, with the focus of their gossip being Cooper.

“Oh, so he’s Cooper Mitchell! My god, he’s so handsome!”

“So that’s Natasha’s uncle! He received his double Ph.D. from Bayside University at just 18 years old. God, how can there be such a talented person in this world?!”

“I’m so jealous! If only I could have such an amazing and handsome uncle!”

Natasha heard everyone’s whispers and her lips moved into a confident smile, but she was sneering secretly in her heart. What a bunch of peasants! What wishful thinking! However, being Cooper Mitchell’s biological niece, she was naturally proud about it. Thus, she couldn’t help but straighten her back and enjoy the looks of envy people threw at her.

After watching the videos, everyone dispersed. Sophia and Gemma exited the School of Cinematography’s building and decided to take a look at the Alumni Corridor. The Alumni Corridor was also one of Bayside University’s well-known spots; it was where the best students of the university were displayed along the corridor. The long corridor was continuously expanding, with new ‘Best’ students being constantly added.

To be displayed in the corridor, one had to be the top student of Bayside University. On average, a new student was added to the corridor every few years. From its establishment until the present, a total of over 60 students have been added to the Bayside University Alumni Corridor.

Sophia had never visited the corridor before, and today was her first time. In the corridor, as she was walking, she stopped when she saw Michael’s portrait. When Michael was studying in the university, he attended under the name ‘Taylor Murray’. So now, the name under the portrait was also ‘Taylor Murray’.

With that one portrait of his handsome face in the corridor, instantly, the whole corridor became more star-studded.

 

Bayside University had many other campuses and amongst them was the Bayside University of National Defense. It was a military academy and from its name alone, it seemed to have nothing in common with Bayside University.

However, they both operated under the same academic systems and were both under Bayside University management. Thus, alumni from the Bayside University of National Defense were also present in the corridor, including Joel Fletcher and Irene Weber.

 

Finally, she came across Cooper Mitchell’s portrait, which had his accomplishments listed beneath it. He was 18 when he received a double Ph.D. from Bayside University in music and economics. He really was a rare talent. In the hundred years of Bayside University’s history, he seemed to be the only one with such gifts.

Other alumni often only got their portraits put up in the corridor upon graduating and making a difference and a name for themselves in the world. For example, Michael Fletcher only got his place in the corridor after becoming the first actor from Cethos to receive an Oscar.

Even Joel only had his portrait recently hung, whereas Cooper was the first alumni to ever be featured in the corridor while still an actual student.

Looking at the timing of it, he must have been 17 when he was given a place in the Alumni Corridor as he looked 17 in the featured portrait. Cooper’s childhood face carried a carefree smile but according to his list of accomplishments, he wasn’t just a Bayside University Ph.D. graduate. At that point, he had also taken over the family business and was the junior president.

Cooper Mitchell, seemed to Sophia like a tall mountain that lay in front of her. A tall mountain that she would not be able to surpass. No, he was everyone’s tall mountain!

Sophia raised her head to look at Cooper, trying to envision him experiencing the past 20 years. She tilted her head and looked at it for a long while before subconsciously holding onto the pendant that lay on her chest. Who knew when would she be able to be like Cooper and be featured in the corridor?
