Being Pursued By Ex-husband

“Wow, Sophia looks absolutely stunning! Her fair complexion is just mesmerizing! Why do I waste my time obsessing over celebrities when I could simply stan Sophia?”

“Surprisingly, Ms. Yates didn't exaggerate this time!”

One was even fake sobbing. “Oh, Sophia, the goddess of education! I wholeheartedly desire to partake in your good fortune and gain admission into a prestigious university!”

Despite Sophia's lack of makeup, she still looked like a gorgeous woman who had just stepped out of a world-famous painting.

Naturally, the teenagers who had only heard about Sophia but never had the chance to see her in person were filled with excitement.

A few brave teenage boys even rose from their seats and inquired, “Sophia, we heard from Ms. Yates that you've consistently been the top student from elementary school all the way through high school. Is that really true?”

Sophia turned to the boy who spoke and bobbed her head. “Yes. I was in Terciaro Elementary School and Greenmeadow Middle School before enrolling in Central High School. If you're skeptical about this, feel free to Google it.”

“Sophia, Sophia! When it comes to studying, do you think natural talent or hard work holds greater significance?”

After someone broke the ice, a wave of questions began pouring in, prompting more people to participate in the discussion. The students, who were initially shy, began actively engaging with Sophia.

Sophia encountered such situations throughout her journey from childhood to adulthood. As she stood on the stage, a surreal sense washed over her, transporting her back to the past. After completing her university entrance exams, she succumbed to the allure of monetary compensation offered by a tutoring center, unwittingly getting caught up in supposed “socialization.”

Arching a brow, Sophia turned to the boy who spoke and replied, “Personally, I hold the belief that talent merely determines the extent of effort one needs to exert in their studies. It cannot be solely relied upon as a measure of academic achievement. Even if a student possesses incredible talent, without attending classes or dedicating themselves to studying, their exam results will not be impressive.”

“Then how do you get such marvelous grades, Sophia?”

This question seemed like it was voiced by a child who was refusing to admit defeat in a competition.

Sophia lowered her head and clicked her tongue. “Who told you I didn't study hard?”

“Hahaha! What kind of stupid question are you asking, Cole Dixon? Yates has already told us that Sophia's smart and hardworking. Look at her; she's obviously a good student. She's not like you, who only thinks of playing games and nothing else!”

It appeared that Cole suddenly realized the perceived foolishness of his inquiry. His ears turned slightly red, and he cast a sheepish glance at Sophia, seemingly embarrassed by his own query.

At that, Sophia interrupted the awkward air by saying, “I came in a hurry today, so I didn't get to bring any gifts for all of you, though I would like to offer you my heartfelt blessings instead.”

As she spoke, she picked up a chalk and turned around to write on the blackboard: Fear no hardships in the years of honing your blade, for it shall gleam and be your guiding aid.

“May you all continue to be as happy as you are today on this same day next year. I won't disturb your self-study session any longer.”

With that said, Sophia turned to look at Gabrielle, who was standing by the doorway.

Gabrielle didn't make things difficult for Sophia and promptly walked over to take her place.

However, a few minutes weren't enough for the students to satiate their curiosity about the legendary Sophia.

“Yates, we have so many more questions to ask Sophia!”

Gabrielle huffed out an angry laugh. “And yet I don't see all of you being this enthusiastic in class on most days. Ask me instead; I know everything about Sophia!”

“Ms. Yates, do you happen to know if Sophia is married or still single? I have a younger uncle who is currently unattached!”

The girl who voiced her question was known for her lively and outgoing nature. Gabrielle, having built a strong rapport with her students, was well acquainted with the girl's younger uncle, who happened to attend Silverleaf School. He was an impressive young man, two years older than Sophia, boasting a tall and slim physique that seemed to catch the attention of girls at first glance.

The second that girl spoke, someone retaliated, “Marissa Falkner, didn't you say your uncle's so wonderful that no one's worthy of him?”

Marissa scoffed and retorted, “That was before I met Sophia!”

If I can successfully persuade such a woman like Sophia to become my aunt, it will be absolutely marvelous. The future cousins I'll have from them will undoubtedly possess extraordinary beauty!

Marissa had grand plans formulating in her head, but alas, the reality was cruel.

“How long has it been since you last used the internet? Sophia's married. Just half a month ago, her husband was showing off their relationship online. it was even trending!”

Gabrielle frequently brought up Sophia in class, and being a group of young and curious individuals, the students would often browse the internet on their phones during their free time. The name “Sophia Yarrow” had a distinctiveness that captured their attention whenever they encountered it. However, they had yet to lay eyes on either the online-mentioned Sophia Yarrow or the Sophia Yarrow spoken of by Gabrielle. The world was vast, leaving them uncertain if it was indeed the same Sophia Yarrow or an entirely different person altogether.

Having caught a glimpse of Sophia in person today and cross-referencing it with the photos they had stumbled upon online, those who often browsed gossip websites could readily recognize her with ease.

Gabrielle chuckled and added, “Considering how remarkable Sophia is, it's no surprise that she had many admirers in the past. Even if she isn't currently married, it's quite likely that she already has a boyfriend!”

Gabrielle engaged in playful banter with the students for a few moments before bringing an end to their commotion. “All right, settle down now, or the student council will be deducting points from all of you once again. Let's refocus on our assignments! Remember, even if you can't become another Sophia, there might be opportunities to join Sophia's company when you graduate!”
