My Dreamy Old Husband novel Chapter 95

Nathan didn’t seem to be interested in trading his iPad for anything, no matter how much the others offered him. He wasn’t even using it himself and had given it to Sophia, as if he had purposely snatched the prize for her.

On the other hand, Sophia was too engrossed in Michael’s movies that she kept watching whenever she had time to spare, even during her lunch breaks.

Looking at his mother’s infatuated expression, Nathan sighed and shook his head, thinking that his mother was completely hopeless.

As if she sensed Nathan’s feelings, Sophia sheepishly stopped the movie and placed the iPad in her bag before she started to eat her lunch.

At this very moment, Xyla and Richard arrived at the cafeteria.

“Let’s sit over there, Richard!” Xyla suggested coquettishly as she observed Richard’s expression, pointing at the empty seat beside Sophia.

In fact, she was aware of Richard’s affair with Sophia, but she had never brought up the topic.

A smart woman would not reveal her feelings, and Xyla would never let the slightest hint of upset show on her face. She only observed them in silence.

Furthermore, as a way to express her generosity and consideration, she would even give Richard the chance to approach Sophia. As a smart woman, she would never bring up his secret affair to his face, as that would only put him off.

As expected, in the face of her generosity, a flash of guilt appeared on Richard’s face and he said nervously, “Let’s find somewhere else to sit…”

 

Knowing that her plan had worked, Xyla decided to act even more generously and kindly; sooner rather than later, Richard would definitely return to her side.

She deliberately sat beside Sophia and said, “No, I want to sit here! Look, Sophia is here too!”

Turning around, she greeted Sophia happily, as if the latter was her good friend. “Hi Sophia, what a coincidence!”

Busy with her lunch, Sophia only waved at Xyla. “Hi.”

Once Richard sat down as well, Xyla purposely put the signed cap in front of Sophia and said in a nasally voice, “Look, Sophia! This is a special autograph signed by Taylor! Isn’t it cool?”

Sophia raised her head and glanced at the cap, feeling a little curious at Michael’s signature.

True to Xyla’s words, it was indeed a special autograph that read, ‘To: Xyla, wishing you great success and a happy life.’

Although the signature is pretty, the words are way too tacky!

Averting her gaze, Sophia tried to hide her distaste in her eyes. After all, she knew Xyla was here to show off.

Then, Sophia responded in a cold voice, “Yeah, cool.”

Xyla continued to show off, and said, “If it wasn’t for Richard, I wouldn’t have had the chance to become a supporting actor, not to mention getting Taylor’s signature! In fact, he looked even more handsome in person!”

Listening to her, Sophia merely mumbled and nodded.

Knowing that Sophia was definitely jealous of her, Xyla retrieved her cap and hugged it tightly. “Richard brought me to Audistin yesterday, and after asking around, we finally got Taylor’s room number! I heard that you were at Audistin yesterday too. What a pity, I could’ve brought you along to look for Taylor if I knew about this earlier! After my military training, I’ll be acting as a supporting character in ‘Doctor Invisible’. It’s just a small character, but I’ll still get to see Taylor and even work with him!”

Sophia kept on eating as she listened to Xyla’s boastful words.

Xyla was too engrossed in her own world, as she continued to brag about yesterday’s incident. “Taylor was extremely handsome, and he was very nice too! Those rumors that painted him as a cold and uncaring man are all untrue!”

Sophia only mumbled in reply, “Yeah, yeah.”

Suddenly, Xyla held onto Richard’s arm and said proudly, “It must be because of Richard that Taylor was so nice to us!”

Hearing this, Richard only smiled awkwardly. Some things were better left unsaid.
