My Dreamy Old Husband

“What?” Sophia, who had spent the entire day studying, was bewildered. “I’ve never participated in your contest, let alone be in the semi-finals!”

Upon hearing that, the other person responded, “I’m not too sure on the specifics, but you definitely have signed up for the contest and even sailed past the semi-finals.”

Sophia started to panic. “The problem is I’m not talented at all! I would have to perform, right? What am I going to present?”

The voice in the phone suggested, “According to the details of your registration, you’ve passed the 10th grade in piano. You can perform by playing the piano!”

Acing a test in front of the audience?! Damn, the person wanted to make a fool out of her? They could dream on! Upon glancing at the calendar, she realized that it was already the 15th. How am I going to prepare for a show in 3 days’ time? And playing a piano at that?

She was sure that she would not be the only one who would play the piano and if she did not present something unique, she would not obtain a good score. At that moment, she suddenly realized that Michael would be giving a talk at Bayside University on the 18th.

Upon hearing that, he replied while typing away on his computer, “Yeah, I am giving a talk on campus on the 18th. I’ll also be one of the judges for the campus belle contest while I’m there.”

Sh*t! My idol’s going to be a judge? Does this mean that there will be twenty to thirty girls frolicking in front of my idol? At once, Sophia felt sour—as if envy started to spread in her heart.

Just at that point, he sneakily questioned, “I heard you joined the campus belle contest. Do you want me to give you a high score?
