My Dreamy Old Husband novel Chapter 373

She was the first female ‘Swordsman Game’ player who made it to the Esports World Championship and on top of that, she was a real stunner too!

Those geeky guys which made up most of the red team fans all cheered and growled lecherously at Sophia.

Throughout the whole time Sophia was at the stadium right from her arrival until the registration for her attendance, she maintained a poker-face and didn’t speak a word.

Still unconvinced, Stanley questioned her again, “Sophia, are you really Sirius233?”

Stanley looked extremely puzzled.

Was Sirius really his aunt whom he had harbored a secret crush on for a very long time?

No one would believe a far-fetched tale like that!

Wasn’t Sirius the gay partner of Uncle Michael in the game? Wasn’t he a guy? Wasn’t he a scum?

Why did he suddenly become his aunt?

What was wrong with the world?

Everyone was getting anxious because Scary Phoenix had yet to make his appearance even though the game was about to start. Although Stanley was equally worried just as everyone else, he knew Scary Phoenix would be here because he had promised so. Moreover, Sophia was already here. Therefore, he started reassuring the rest of the team, “Guys, please don’t worry because Scary Phoenix will be here soon. Now, let’s offer some joss sticks to our Grandmaster for his blessing.”

Did they actually have a Grandmaster although esports had only become popular in the recent years?

Sophia strained her eyes, trying to see who could be their Grandmaster in esports.

Stanley took out several bundles of joss sticks from his bag and distributed them to the team before placing a photo in black and white in front of them.

It was Cooper in the picture.

Everyone on the red team went speechless.

Stanley introduced Cooper to everyone, “This man’s name is Cooper Mitchell and he was the one who invented online gaming some twenty years ago. Hence, he’s our Grandmaster in esports and we should pay our respect to him!”

Everyone lighted their joss sticks and bowed at Cooper’s picture.

After that, Sophia clutched Cooper’s amulet in her hands tightly in silence.

This was the largest competition she had ever participated in. Although she had taken part in global competitions in other countries before, she still had the jitters because none of them were as grand as this one.

Keeping the amulet in her tight grasp, it seemed like she was hoping to channel some energy from the amulet that could keep her going until the end of the game.

However, when she thought of how her husband was watching another woman’s piano performance with admiration in his eyes or maybe even having a piano duet with her in the concert hall just opposite the stadium, she felt disheartened.

Yet, she had no time to process her feelings at the moment. Michael was free to do anything he wanted and he may even decide not to go home tonight!

She couldn’t care less about that!

The game was about to begin in no time as all the players started logging into the game with their accounts. After logging into his account, Stanley peeked at Sophia who was sitting next to him. The sight of how adeptly she keyed in the password for the account ‘Sirius233’ still looked like a fantasy to him.

How could Sophia be Sirius, who was a jerk?

She didn’t look the part at all!

As for Sophia, she was stealing glances at Scary Phoenix’s position next to her.

Indeed, only a legendary player like him had the guts to skip such a grand event like this. Didn’t he worry that Stanley would really hang himself at the entrance of the stadium if their team ended up losing because of his absence?

Before the game began, all the players made their formal appearances in front of the audience.
