My Dreamy Old Husband novel Chapter 98

Xyla knew that they had gotten back together secretly, but she wouldn’t expose Richard’s lies, much less quarrel with him like a crazy b*tch. She had to act better than before, so that Sophia had no way to come between them. Richard could only belong to her.

It was night, and their training was over. After Sophia cleaned herself up, with her hair still soaking wet, she went out for a walk in her slippers, letting her hair dry naturally. Nathan followed behind her wordessly, and Sophia started to speak. “Son, say Mom.”

Nathan answered in response, “Foolish.”

“Son, how could you say that to me? You’re going to regret it when I don’t play games with you anymore.”

At this moment, Sophia found a pavilion and sat down in it. Turning on the iPad, she continued to watch Michael’s movie. Nathan also leaned over and joined. After all, it was his uncle. Even though on the outside it seemed like Nathan hated him, he still loved him deep down.

Shortly after, Xyla made her way over, still in her uniform. Her eyes seemed to shine in the night and her delicate facial features were unusually fine. Like a mischievous kid, she ran over when she saw Sophia, looking quite happy. “Sophia, whatcha doin’?”

However, Sophia didn’t look up. “Watching a movie.”

The conversation stopped there after her sentence. But Xyla seemed to be in a chatty mood, and she kept on talking to Sophia, telling the latter about the dream she had of Michael last night as well as her engagement with Richard and also them wanting to study abroad. Sophia, on the other hand, only responded to her cursorily.

All of a sudden, Xyla called out, “Sophia, look! There’s a mosquito on my face! I’m so scared! Get it off of me! Quick!”

Sophia looked up and saw a small black dot on Xyla’s cheeky little face. The lighting in the shed was really bad, and Sophia couldn’t see clearly. It looked like a mosquito, so she raised her hand and slapped it.

Slap! A slap landed right on Xyla’s face. Immediately, the atmosphere changed. As though she had been wronged, Xyla stood up all of a sudden, hands covering her face with an unbelievable expression. Her voice trembled as she spoke, “H-How dare you hit me? Sophia, you—”
 

Raising her head, Sophia looked at her in speechless amazement. Holding onto her face, Xyla cried in distress. In the blink of an eye, her cries attracted the students nearby and they’d surrounded the pavilion, pointing and gossiping about them.

“How could you slap me? Don’t you know that I’ve actually been trying to befriend you this whole time?!” Xyla covered half of her face, tears rolling down her cheeks.

There were a lot of students who were walking nearby. In fact, a while ago, they had seen Xyla going into the pavilion where Sophia was in, and because both of them were famous figures, everyone had been paying attention to what was happening. Although they couldn’t hear them speak, some did see Sophia slapping Xyla; the sound was rather loud, after all. In the blink of an eye, everyone whispered excitedly.

“Oh my God, a live scene of the lover confronting the girlfriend! How thrilling!”

“Tsk, that smack was definitely on point!”

“I wonder why she hates her so much. Xyla’s face is all red!”
