Michael felt extremely suspicious as he realized how different Sophia was behaving after speaking to the old monk. She seemed to be keeping something to herself, so much so that the smile on her face looked contrived.

He waited for an opportunity where Sophia was not within ear’s reach to ask the old monk what happened. The old monk simply answered ambiguously, “Let nature take its course.”

The monk had this aura of all-knowing wisdom around him—Michael could tell. Something he told Sophia then that must have caused her to act so reservedly.

A few more days after they returned from the mountains would be the annual gathering of the Edwards Family. Michael had only these few days to lose the weight he gained. He was determined not to cause any embarrassment to Sophia.

The moment his sexy dance hit the Internet, it had caused a huge stir among the public. Everyone was commenting about how the international superstar, Taylor Murray, had gained weight, lost his charm, faded out, and lost his grace. Coincidentally, the annual event of the ‘Light of Cethos’ awards was around the corner. Taylor’s votes barely made it to the top ten even without any sabotage from rivals. His ranking remained volatile compared to some of those up-and-coming celebrities.

If it were in the past, Sophia would have been extremely busy. However, this time around, she had no intention of spending any time on such irrelevant events. Right this moment, making money was her top priority.

Michael shared similar sentiments with Sophia when it came to such popularity rankings. After all, he had been topping the charts for years. Such pursuits had begun to wear him out, and he couldn’t care less. He would be focusing on getting back in shape.

The news of a heavier Taylor had everyone in the nation talking. Everyone—even those in universities and offices—had expressed their disappointment on witnessing their idol, who was once so stunning, losing his charm and was now merely a pudgy, middle-aged man.

Sophia was now in her third year of university. Although she hardly needed to return to the faculty for classes, she had to keep abreast with the syllabus and modules. Needless to say, her schedule had never been busier.

The moment she went back to campus, everyone swarmed her in the spot she sat with tons of questions. “Hey, I heard your hubby gained weight. Is it true that Taylor has put on some pounds? It’s so hard to believe! How could he? He’s my idol! This is unacceptable! Sob!”
