My Dreamy Old Husband

Chapter 235

Upon listening to his words, Sophia was completely stunned.

Even Nathan was looking at Richard in disbelief.

Sophia sneered secretly; being buried in the Harper Family’s ancestral grave after death? What a gift! Sophia felt like she should kneel down and thank the Lord!

Sophia thought that she shouldn’t be talking to Richard at all; to her, it was an insult. She turned around and said before she left, “I’m sorry. I have to hurry over.”

With that, Sophia and Nathan walked away.

However, Richard didn’t want to let her go at all.

At the moment, it had become impossible to help Kayla out. They had thought of everything, going through every connection and network they had. Yet, they still couldn’t find a way. Richard thought about going to Sophia, but he was worried that she had already helped put in a good word for him several times in front of Joel. If she revealed it too much, she would fall out of Joel’s favor and lose her value.

Joel had actually taken Sophia to the Fletcher Family’s grave; by the looks of it, she hadn’t fallen out of his favor!

Richard grabbed Sophia’s arm tightly and begged, “Sophia, you are Kayla’s only hope now. As long as you put in a word for Kayla in front of Joel, she would definitely be rescued.”

Trying to calm her anger, Sophia said politely, “I am really sorry for Kayla, but there’s really nothing I can do!”

Richard pleaded bitterly, almost kneeling down in front of her. “I know that, Sophia. However, Kayla is my only sister. Do you know how important she is to me? You are still blaming me, right? You are angry that I got engaged with Xyla, aren’t you? That was because I had no other choice—just like you and Joel, I’m sure you are unwilling too, right? I know you’ll definitely understand me. I swear, you are the only person in my heart. Xyla and I are only forced to be together.”

Sophia clenched her fists harder in silence and sneered suddenly. “I came with Joel. Aren’t you afraid he will be mad if he sees you like this?”

When Joel was mentioned, Richard was indeed worried, but he was certain Sophia was only trying to avoid him. Hence, he was not afraid at all.

“Sophia, I know you have slept with Joel, but I am still the one you love…”

“Ahem!” Suddenly, a snort was heard from behind Sophia.

It was only then did Richard notice a man dressed in a full black and formal suite standing on the wet asphalt road not far behind Sophia.

In that moment, Richard’s expression was as if he had seen a ghost!

He was in utter panic and scared for his life!

Sophia was startled as well.

It can’t be—that voice… It sounds like Joels’s…

It can’t be, it can’t be, it can’t be… The Fletchers had already finished tomb sweeping in the morning; that was why Michael deliberately chose to come in the afternoon to avoid them.

It can’t be… It can’t be…

Sophia turned around cautiously and saw two men in black suits standing not far behind her.

The black attire made one of them look exceptionally young and eye-catching. With his crew cut hair that was slightly dampened from the rain, even when he was dressed in a formal suit, a sense of punk style emanated from him.

Meanwhile, the other one looked extremely cold. His tall, built body was covered in a black suit. The suit was tailored perfectly and the curves alleviated his dominance; every seam seemed to shout mystery, just like his expressionless face.

Stanley!

Joel!

Sophia’s heart dropped to the ground! This belongs © NôvelDra/ma.Org.

When did they arrive? What did they hear?

Hole—is there a hole where I can hide my head?!

“G-General…”

Sophia was so startled that she stuttered and couldn’t utter a word.

It was over; the secret between Richard and Sophia was exposed. No man would want to be a cuckold!

Joel looked at Richard coldly and didn’t speak, but the eyes were enough to scare him to death.

Surprisingly, Stanley looked stern today. Dressed in a formal suit and pretending to look smart, he seemed to look more serious than usual. He spoke before Joel.

“Hello, Sophia. You are so brave, huh? You’ve slept with my uncle but you’re still unafraid to hook up with your ex-boyfriend!”

Sophia didn’t speak, but her face was as red as a plum.

Richard was suddenly speechless and puzzled.

Stanley is actually Joel’s nephew?

Stanley Fletcher, Joel Fletcher…

He is actually one of the Fletchers!

Richard was completely shocked that his mind went blank for a moment.

However, his first reaction was to protect himself. If he accidentally offended Joel, the Harper Family would be in danger!

An idea came to mind as Richard suddenly said fiercely to Sophia, “Sophia, I know you still love me, but I am engaged, so it’s best if we don’t see each other! Don’t try to look for me anymore! I will not see you again!”

With that, Richard nodded and bowed toward Joel. “I’m sorry, General. Miss Edwards and I used to be in a relationship, but I am now engaged. I don’t know why I met her here today; we were only catching up and nothing more.”

In that case, it was all Sophia. She was the one who seduced him!

Sophia, whose face was red earlier, had miraculously regained her normal skin colour as she sneered. “Richard, you have no business here, so please leave.”

Richard bowed to Joel respectfully. “General, please don’t misunderstand. I came with my mother to sweep the tomb.”

Somehow, Joel was about to say something when suddenly, a sexy voice was heard. “Wait for me, Joel!”

Behind Joel came a woman dressed in a black cloak with sunglasses, walking across the road slowly. She was wearing a black beret that covered more than half of her beautiful face, but still, her thin and perfect features were seen clearly along with her butterfly-shaped lips.

The woman walked over with a smile. Then, she held onto Joel’s arm naturally and glanced toward Sophia and Richard in doubt as she asked confusingly, “Joel, they are…”

Sophia looked at the woman who was holding onto Joel’s arm; he did not seem to refuse her either. Then, she knew that the woman was Joel’s wife.

It turned out that Joel was already married.

The Fletchers were really low-key; they wouldn’t put up a fanfare even if there was a marriage.

Richard guessed the identity of the woman and said respectfully, “It’s nothing. We are students from Bayside University. We only came to say a few words as we were happy to see the General.”

Richard was betting that Joel wouldn’t look for trouble; after all, Sophia was his mistress. Even more so, he was a soldier and would look bad if it was exposed. His actual wife was standing here, so he definitely wouldn’t dare to say anything else.

As expected, Joel did not say anything else as he explained to the woman, “I bumped into these students from Bayside University and was catching up with them.”

Since Sophia and Nathan were here, could that mean Michael was here too?

Elizabeth’s tomb was nearby!

However, there was a hidden darkness in Joel’s eyes.
