“Soph. No matter what your decision is, you will have my full support. I shouldn't be a factor in your consideration.”
If she wanted to join the International Medical Association, she should do just that.
“Grandpa, please don't worry. I know what I'm doing.”
Josiah knew that Sophie would not listen to him. The girl had had a mind of her own ever since young, and he never had to worry about her.
“I'm glad to hear that. I just hope that you and Tanny are happy and well. That's enough for me to be content.” Really, nothing else is more important than that.
“Grandpa, don't worry. I'll take good care of Sophie.”
“It's important that the two of you take care of each other. Sophie is still young. If she does anything inappropriate, you have to tell her directly and not take it to heart.”
The truth was, it was difficult for Josiah not to worry.
“Sophie is quite perfect in almost every way.” Sophie was a smart girl who tend not to worry others.
Tristan had a gentle gaze in his eyes as he looked at Sophie.
When Willow noticed that, she felt extremely jealous.
She was jealous that Sophie had a man who loved her wholeheartedly while she had nothing at all.
After the meal, Tristan played chess with Josiah while Sophie watched quietly by the side.
Tristan was a highly skilled chess player, while Josiah was already old, and his mind was not as agile as before.
As such, the latter was unsure about his next move.
Unbeknownst to him, Tristan did not even show his true abilities. He had held back as he did not want the elderly man to feel embarrassed.
“This is no fun. I need to use the restroom. Sophie, take over the game for me.” Josiah put down his chess piece before standing up and heading toward the restroom.
Sophie was speechless.
Nonetheless, she still went and sat in Josiah's seat before moving a chess piece without much contemplation.
“It seems like people do get more childish as they age. My grandpa wasn't such a sore loser last time.”
The move made by Sophie turned the situation around instantly.
Tristan looked at the chessboard and fell into deep thought.
Is there even anything this girl is not good at?”
“Did you learn it from Grandpa?”
“Yeah. Grandpa taught me how to play chess when I was a kid.”
“It seems like the student has surpassed the master,” Tristan praised.
The two of them carried on chatting, and when Josiah returned, the game was still ongoing.
As the old man watched from the side, he had a newfound understanding of his granddaughter's abilities.
“Grandpa, do you want to continue playing the game yourself?” Sophie asked after noticing how engrossed Josiah was in the game.
“No, no. I'm already old, and my skills have deteriorated. You should carry on playing. Make sure you win Tanny.”
As far as Josiah was concerned, it would not be his loss as long as Sophie won.
“Grandpa, don't worry, she has already defeated me,” Tristan said with a smile.
The atmosphere was pleasant and harmonious as the family members enjoyed each other's company.
It always seemed to rain on the day of the university entrance exam, and that year was no exception. On the first day of the university entrance exam, Sophie saw that it was pouring outside when she woke up in the morning.
After packing what she needed for the exam, she glanced at the time and saw that it was only eight o'clock. As such, she lay on the couch and started playing games on her phone.
A while later, Ysabelle had also finished packing. When she came out of her room, she saw Sophie playing games while lying on the couch. That was the first time she had seen someone in such a relaxed state right before the exam.”
“Sophie, have you taken your ID card?”
“Yes!”
“How about your examination pass? You won't be able to enter the examination hall if you don't have it with you.”
“I have it.”
Ysabelle took a deep breath. What should I do! Why am I feeling so nervous?
As she had taken countless examinations ever since young, she could not believe that she was still feeling nervous.
When Felix noticed that, he could not help but feel amused. “Ysabelle, you don't have to be so nervous. It's just the university entrance exam. It's all right even if you fail. I'll take care of you.”
Ysabelle shot him a glare and said, “Felix, how can you say something like that early in the morning? Would it kill you to wish the best for me?”
I'm not going to fail! After all, I've studied so hard for so many years!
“Let's go. It's almost time.” Students would usually reach the examination venue earlier for major examinations like that. Besides, given the heavy rain outside, no one knew what the situation would be like.
“Let's just wait a little longer.”
“Who are we waiting for?” Tristan asked, feeling confused. Isn't everyone who's supposed to be here already here?
The thought had just flashed into his mind when there was a knock on the door.
“Who's that?” Felix had no idea who would be at Tristan's apartment at that time.
He walked over to open the door.
When the door opened, they saw all the members of The Wheelers standing there. All of them were wearing black face masks.
“Oh, my God! Why are you guys here?” What are they doing here?
Sunny was the first to dash into the room.
“Sophie, we're not late, are we?” They were actually there to cheer Sophie on. After all, there was no way they would miss such an important moment.
“All right. Since you guys have already seen me, you can leave now,” Sophie said helplessly. It's just the university entrance exam. Why are they making such a big fuss about it?
Mark and the other members of the group walked over.
“We'll wait for you outside! Since the other candidates also have supporters waiting for them outside the venue, we'll be your supporters!” Sunny said excitedly.
It was his first time having such an experience, and just the thought of it was exciting.
“Are you sure you want to do that?” Don't they know how insanely popular they are? If they appear at the examination venue, there would surely be a big commotion.
“Of course! Is there a problem?” Sunny was still basking in his excitement.
“Can I ask you not to go? If you guys are there, it would certainly cause a commotion. Given the heavy rain outside, it might even cause casualties. It would be a disaster if that happened.”
The university entrance exam was an important turning point in the lives of most people, and Sophie did not want their futures to be affected because of her.
“Don't worry! We'll just wait inside the car.” Mark was aware of the band's influence.
As a public figure, he naturally did not want to affect the other students. However, he really wanted to stay by Sophie's side. How could I be absent at such a crucial moment in her life?
“That's right! Sophie, just go for your exam without any worries. We promise not to create any trouble,” Sunny guaranteed.
“You are the one who worries me most.”
Sunny felt a little dejected when he heard that.
“I won't ever act so recklessly again. Really! So don't worry.”
“All right. It's time to go.” Tristan picked up Sophie's bag and asked everyone to get ready to leave.
The group left the house and set off for the examination venue together.
Sophie and Ysabelle were taking their examinations at Jipsdale Premier High, which was just a ten-minute walk away. As it was the day of the university entrance exam, there were many parents sending their children to school. As such, a crowd had already formed outside Jipsdale Premier High.
The Wheelers wanted to drive in, but as there was no space for the car to enter, they could only turn back.
“Good luck, Sophie!”
There was so much tenderness in Mark's voice that Sunny could feel a sting in his eyes when he heard that.
Poor Mark!
