Changing only for her (Sophie and Tristan) novel Chapter 297

Alas, Whitlea failed to get through to Bailey. “Mom, have you had enough?

Sophie is just a student, so why do you keep picking on her? What’s the point?”

“Where’s your conscience, Bailey? Can’t you see that my leg’s bleeding? Do

you think I shot myself?” Whitlea retorted, not knowing if she should laugh or cry

at her son’s ridiculousness.

When he saw the blood trickling down Whitlea’s leg, Bailey quickly turned to

Sophie.

“I’m sorry, Sophie. It’s all because of me that you’ve had to suffer so much,” he

muttered. I like her, yet all I’ve done is let her suffer. I feel so awful!

The next second, he grabbed Sophie’s wrist and pulled her along. “Come on.

Let’s leave this place.”

“Bailey Dixon!” Whitlea bellowed.

However, Bailey refused to look at his mother and continued to lead Sophie out

of the cafe.

“What now, Ms. Whitlea?”

“Take me to the hospital!” Can’t they tell I’m injured? Must they keep asking me

for instructions? Do they not have a shred of common sense?

“Yes, Ms. Whitlea,” one of the men hurriedly replied. Even now, they were still

shocked that Sophie had such impressive skills. She didn’t seem like an

ordinary student at all!

Meanwhile, outside the cafe, Bailey and Sophie had decided to sit on a bench

under a large tree.

Since leaving the cafe, Bailey hadn’t said a word and merely sat in silence.

Sophie, too, did the same.

After a while, Bailey finally blurted out, “I’m sorry, Sophie.” Other than

apologizing to her, he didn’t know what else he could do.

Sophie glanced at him. “Come on, Bailey, this has nothing to do with you. It isn’t

healthy to keep putting all the blame on yourself.”

“Sorry. I’ve made you upset again.”

“You… Fine. I don’t know what else to say. Let’s do our best at the training

camp.”

Since he’s so stubborn, there’s no point wasting my breath on him right now.

“Okay,” Bailey mumbled. “Are you leaving?”

“Of course. My grandfather’s still waiting to eat with me,” Sophie replied. She

had been out for quite a while, and it was time to head home.

“All right, goodbye,” he said. He had always been a confident man, but for some

reason, Sophie changed him.

Deep down, the latter did find it a pity.

After all, Bailey was talented in physics, and if he continued to work hard in that

area, there was no doubt he’d excel in the future.

His current state of mind, however, was a cause for concern.

“Put your mother aside and answer me truthfully, Bailey. Do you like physics?”

Nothing is as important as passion, and I’m sure he’s passionate about physics.

Otherwise, he wouldn’t have accomplished so much despite his mother’s words

and actions.

“I do,” Bailey replied. How could I not? Physics and Sophie are my biggest

passions.

“If that’s the case, you have to go all out for this physics competition! Don’t

worry. I have no intention of giving in to you. May the best person win!”

“Okay!” Bailey answered, confident of his capability when it came to physics.

With that, Sophie left in a taxi, leaving Bailey alone on the bench and engrossed

in his thoughts.

If I continue studying this field, will I have an opportunity with Sophie in the

future? She’s truly gifted, and even though she has said she doesn’t like me, I

don’t want to give up just like that. We’re both still young, anyway. Who’s to

know what the future might bring? There’s always a chance that she might fall

for me over time, isn’t there?
