My Dreamy Old Husband

Chapter 309

Sophia went back to university to attend the lectures recently, but the places she could visit had decreased even further. She either studied at the university, stayed at home, or went to Stanley’s company to have a look.

After Stanley’s company had acquired enough capital and workforce, they started working on starting it aggressively. As one of the investors, Sophia put quite a lot of effort in it. She walked around the company every day to check up on them.

This day, right after Sophia had finished looking around and was prepared to go home, she received a message from Xyla on Messenger. ‘Sophia, Faye found some of your mom’s stuff back home. When you are free, remember to come over to retrieve them. The address is xxxxx.’

She even sent a few pictures over. One of them was a picture of a simple box with some clothes that had turned yellow. It was obvious that they were outdated, and the fashion was popular back then. Apart from that, there was a picture of a hardcover notebook that was popular decades ago. There were a few stickers of popular rock stars of that era on the cover of the notebook, and on the first page, a few words were written in pen with strong strokes—‘Anna’s Notebook’.

There were also a few lines of poems on the first page:

War

The moon shone brightly at midnight,

but the man who had gone to war had yet to return.

If the generals of the city were present,

the barbarians’ horses would never have crossed the mountains.

 

Sophia snorted as she did not feel like entertaining her. From the style of the notebook and the pages that had turned yellow, it seemed to be dated back 20 years. However, Xyla and Faye seemed to have forgotten that Annabel’s education level only reached primary level as she had quit school when she was in primary 5. During her teenage years, she was already sent into the city to work so that she could provide for her brothers to study. How could she have known ‘If the generals of the city were present, the barbarians’ horses would never have crossed the mountains’?

On top of that, the handwriting was graceful yet full of power. It was obvious that it was not written by Sophia’s mother, who only studied until primary school level. However, the last picture sent by Xyla caught her attention. It was an old photograph, but it was well-kept. The girl in the photograph was quite pretty. Even though she didn’t have any makeup on, her small face was clean and clear. Her wide eyes seemed to be hiding something, making others unable to see through her.
