Richard watched as his own sister got tortured in such a way, loosening his fists that were tightly clenched just moments ago. He did not expect Sophia to do something as cruel as this; she had stolen her necklace and even slandered Kayla for stealing Nathan’s watermelon!
All of a sudden, a thought popped into Kayla’s mind. She rubbed off the tears on her cheeks before she held onto Richard’s hand tightly through the little window on the door.
“Richard, I know that b*tch still has feelings for you. Why don’t you look for her and get her to plead the company commanders for mercy? If she admits that she slandered me, they will let me out. That would make up for my grades as well!”
“But…” Richard seemed hesitant. He wanted her to recede from the complaints, but would she agree to it though?
Getting back together with Sophia…
Richard hesitated for a bit. Even though he was dying to get back together with Sophia, he was currently in a relationship with Xyla and could not simply betray his girlfriend like that.
Kayla did not care about Xyla at all; she held onto Richard tightly as though she was holding on to her final hope. “You’d just have to pretend to promise her and get along with Sophia for some time; once the military training is over, you can dump her. Xyla is a kind and sensible person, so I’m sure she’ll give you her full support!”
Richard kept quiet for one minute before he finally agreed to it. “Alright, I’ll give it a try.”
Kayla turned her tears of sadness into tears of joy, looking as though she had finally found hope.
Didn’t Sophia cause so many troubles just to get her brother to change his mind about her? As long as Richard was willing to return to her side, she would become as humble as a dog and give Kayla the chance to do whatever she wanted!
Kayla believed that Sophia would soon admit everything she had done. By then, the commanders would release her as well.
Half of the girls were absent in their dorm rooms, for they would usually gather around in their own social circles right after washing up.
Sophia was getting ready to sleep after she had washed her face and rinsed her mouth. At that moment, someone informed her from outside that a person was waiting for her at the main entrance of the dorm. When she made her way out, she noticed Richard standing under one of the street lamps situated just outside their dorm. He was handsome and well-dressed in his military uniform, looking just like a scholar who had joined the army. His gentle-looking eyebrows reflected his unchanged gentleness and affection from Sophia’s memories.
“Sophia, can we go for a walk together?”
Richard put on a pleasant smile as he sincerely invited Sophia out. He was completely prepared to get rejected, but little did he think that Sophia would accept his invitation.
“Alright, give me a minute. Let me go back and have my shoes changed.” Sophia, who was wearing slippers, quickly ran back to her dorm room.
Richard was slightly startled as he stared at her from the back; it seemed like he had caught sight of her anticipation. It looked like she had probably guessed his reason for coming over today, so she must be really happy about it, right?
She was no longer the kind and simple Sophia she used to be. Now, she had become scheming and cynical. In order to get back together with Richard, she had even done things to hurt Kayla…
Nonetheless, why did he feel his heart throbbing the moment he saw her?
It was especially her hearty smile; Sophia’s smile looked just the same as he pictured in his mind. She was the girl who stood under the shades of the tree with a simple and pleasant smile. The reason why she had done everything she did was just to get back together with him. What a stubborn girl she was!
Then, what about Xyla?
While Sophia was getting changed, Richard pondered about it as he stared at the street lamp.
Soon, Sophia returned not long after. She had changed into a pair of shoes, and there was a little doll in her arms.
