Chapter 395
"Let's go."
Ysabelle didn't want to freshen up as well and was ready to leave immediately. Otherwise, she would be running late.
"Don't you want to wash up?"
"No. I'm not in the mood to."
The two went downstairs together. Felix did not look at Ysabelle even after she came down.
This made Ysabelle feel uncomfortable.
However, she was no longer upset after she thought about what she had said to him.
Forget it. I was in the wrong too. I shouldn't hold a grudge against Felix. Otherwise, I will only make myself angrier.
After Tristan gave Sophie the test supplies, he brought her out, leaving Felix and Ysabelle in the living room.
Felix handed Ysabelle's test supplies to her.
"Good luck with your exam."
His tone sounded calm and unruffled, devoid of emotion.
An awkward silence filled the air.
Biting her lower lip, Ysabelle spun on her feet and stubbornly headed out without saying a word.
Felix could only smile wryly after seeing her behaving this way.
This was the only way he could conceal his disappointment.
The truth was he wanted nothing more than to pull her into his embrace.
There weren't many people outside of Wisteria Apartments since the students needed to enter the hall half an hour before the university entrance exam was scheduled to start.
Looking around, there were only parents left outside of Jipsdale Premier High.
Ysabelle caught up to Sophie just in front of the main entrance.
"Good luck, Ysabelle!"
Tristan wished Ysabelle luck just before the two girls went in.
"Uncle Tristan, I—" Ysabelle felt touched for the first time. As expected, Uncle Tristan is still the one who cared for me the most.
"Come on. Let's go in now."
With that, Sophie left with Ysabelle.
After the two went in for their exam, Felix approached from behind.
"Must you two fight at this important moment of her life? Don't you know this will affect her negatively?" Tristan said disapprovingly.
Felix was left wordless.
Do you think I wanted to do that? I don't feel great about it at all.
At five o'clock in the afternoon, after the mathematics exam was over, Sophie and Ysabelle came out after most of the examinees left.
"How did you do on the exam?" Sophie asked Ysabelle.
"I don't know how to solve the last question!" Ysabelle only wrote down the mathematical formula on her exam paper. She couldn't help but complain, "The questions were too difficult to solve. Was that necessary?"
"Don't worry. It's just a question. You're going to be fine.”
"Did you manage to solve it?" Ysabelle vaguely saw that many people didn't manage to solve the last question when the invigilator collected the papers.
"Yeah."
To that, Ysabelle was left speechless.
Forget it. I don't even need to ask Sophie such a question. It's only natural that she solved everything.
With the first day of the exam over, Sophie and Ysabelle came out to find Tristan and Felix waiting there.
Seeing how the two men were waiting for them, Sophie had mixed feelings.
Initially, Josiah told Sophie he would come to show his support. However, she rejected him since the weather was too hot.
None of her family members came, but her boyfriend came instead.
Tristan caught Sophie's eye amidst the crowd. Bedazzled by him, she couldn't take her eyes off him.
Sophie went toward Tristan and walked out with him.
"I'm serious. You don't have to come tomorrow. The weather is scorching hot. Look at you. You're drenched in sweat!" The outdoor temperature had reached a hundred point four degrees Fahrenheit that day. One could almost cook on the road.
Sophie was worried that Tristan might get heat stroke since he waited for her outside.
Hearing Felix's response, Ysabelle bit her lower lip.
She felt bitter.
The feeling was unpleasant, but there was nothing she could do.
After Felix left, Ysabelle rose from the couch.
"Sophie, I don't have an appetite. You two should eat by yourselves. Don't mind me." With that, Ysabelle went upstairs.
Watching Ysabelle's retreating figure, Sophie found it pitiful.
"Why did you ask Mr. Northley to leave? What could be more important to him than Ysabelle now?" Ysabelle's expression broke her heart.
"I don't want him to affect Ysabelle. She still has an exam to take tomorrow." Tristan felt it wouldn't matter since Felix had already waited a long time. It would be wasteful for them to get on bad terms now.
Sophie understood his intention.
"But will this make things worse?"
"No." Tristan sounded confident.
"Hmm." Sophie merely grunted in acknowledgment, not saying anything more.
The exam the next day went smoothly.
After leaving the exam hall for the last paper, Ysabelle finally smiled.
"After years of studying, I'm done at last."
No more complicated mathematics questions anymore. My life begins now.
Some students started to rip their books after the exam ended.
No one knew who started it, but gradually, everyone joined in and tore their books apart.
This was their way to de-stress.
After all, those books had tortured them for the last three years.
From now on, they wouldn't have anything to do with the books.
Ysabelle took out a book and started ripping it apart.
Meanwhile, downstairs, the teachers tried to stop the students' manic behaviors but to no avail. The students were overjoyed and wouldn't listen to a word.
