Pursuing Her novel (Sophie and Tristan) novel Chapter 36

Chapter 36 Flatter

For the physics paper, most of the students of Jipsdale Premier High had no idea how to answer the last question, leaving that question blank in the end.

“The questions for the physics paper this time are just too difficult. I only completed the paper after an hour.” Not only were the questions difficult, but there were also a lot of calculations too. More than half of the students in Senior Class 1 had a breakdown from it.

Carrie kept silent the whole time. She had also tried the paper but had no idea how to answer the last question either. Even Aaron Elswick, the physics teacher from Senior Class 1, took an hour to complete the paper.

“What do you think, Mrs. Fletcher? Were you able to complete the calculations for the last question?” Aaron asked.

“I did. I don’t think it was that difficult,” she said, not wanting to embarrass herself for not being able to answer the question.

“Haha…” The man knew that she wasn’t that skilled, so her words were just a joke to him.

Carrie knew that he was making fun of her, but she dared not stand up against him head-on. She wasn’t as good at physics as he was, after all.

“No way! One of the students actually managed to answer this question. Not only are the steps for the calculations correct, but their answer is too!”

“Really? Then, it must be a student from Senior Class 1.” Among all of the classes, Senior Class 1 was the most capable.

“Should be. When it comes to physics, who could ever compare to Bailey Dixon from your class?” Bailey was the top student of Jipsdale Premier High and had been placing first ever since he started attending the school.

Looking over, Aaron noticed that it wasn’t Bailey’s handwriting on the paper.

“The student’s not from my class.”

Everyone froze upon hearing that. Who else could it be if it’s not Bailey? Is there another scholar like him here at Jipsdale Premier High?

On Friday night, they made reservations at Sky Hotel to celebrate Josiah’s eightieth birthday.

Since he did not like crowds, only a handful of relatives came to have dinner with him, taking up only two tables.

“Did you let Soph know?”

When Josiah saw that Sophie had not arrived even though it was almost six in the evening, he asked Charmaine, who was sitting next to him.

“Don’t worry, Dad. I’ve already let her know. But you know how her temper can be. I don’t know if she’ll come.” The woman just couldn’t bring herself to like Sophie.

Even though they were both her daughters, Willow was obedient, while Sophie was always arrogant and would never listen to her.

“I don’t think she will be coming, Grandpa. I saw her leaving with a delinquent when school ended.”

“Forget about her, Dad. It’s your eightieth birthday today. There are so many relatives here. Why should we let others make a joke out of us if Sophie comes?”

Hearing that, Josiah slammed the glass he was holding on the table.

“A joke? Who would dare do that? Whoever here who doesn’t want to eat with our Sophie can leave,” he retorted. No matter what he did, they still had such an attitude toward his granddaughter.

“What’s wrong?”

Yale came over instantly when he heard such a big commotion.

“Notify Sophie. No one can start eating if she doesn’t come.”

All he wanted was to have a happy family dinner. How could he start dinner if Sophie wasn’t here?

Yale’s expression turned dark in an instant.

“How old are you, Dad? Sophie’s being immature, but are you going to be the same as well? Everyone’s waiting! Everyone here is of seniority, so what if a younger one doesn’t come? Why should we make everyone wait for her?”

Right then, Sophie pushed open the door and entered.

In truth, she had not received a call from Charmaine, but she knew that it was her grandfather’s birthday that day. It had not been a difficult task for her to find out where they were having dinner to celebrate it.

“I’m here, Grandpa.”

Josiah finally looked at ease at the sight of his granddaughter.

“Soph! Come here.”

Sophie walked over and sat beside him.

“There’s no need for you to get angry, Grandpa. It’s your eightieth birthday, so how could I not come?”

Hearing that, Josiah couldn’t stop himself from smiling. As expected from my Sophie.
