Chapter 200
After resting for a while, Sophia continued playing basketball with Michael energetically.
When Michael did a perfect slam dunk, everyone in the court gasped and clapped.
Sophia was looking at Michael enviously because she wished to do a slam dunk too. Unfortunately, she was too short, and her hands could not even reach the hoop.
Suddenly, Michael walked to her as though he had read her mind. “Do you wish to do a slam dunk too?”
Sophia widened her eyes and nodded. Then, Michael passed her the basketball and walked forward, bending down to hold her up while holding her legs.
At once, Sophia felt herself leaving the ground and she could see the hoop right before her. However, when she lowered her gaze and saw Michael holding her, she blushed.
All the while keeping a hold on her, Michael said, “Go on.”
With a thumping heart, Sophia turned scarlet and did her ‘slam dunk’.
When the basketball hit the ground, Michael put Sophia down too.
Although Sophia was standing on the ground now, her mind was still a complete blank because her idol had been too charming. She could not think of anything else other than him now.
When Michael picked up the basketball and saw Nathan looking at him eagerly, he waved at him. In response, Nathan ran over and took the basketball without a word. Then, Michael held him up and let him do a slam dunk happily.
When Stanley looked at the happy trio, he suddenly had mixed feelings.
Can it be that Sophia is Uncle Michael’s wife? In the next instant, he dismissed this thought. How possibly would my wise Uncle Michael marry the silly Sophia? Tsk, tsk. Look at that girl. She’s almost drooling!
After playing a round of basketball, the group of people took their respective showers and changed back into their clothes, preparing to leave.
Stanley said, “Uncle Michael, I’m going to play games now. Bye!”
Then, he brought all his lackeys with him to play games whereas Sophia followed Michael home.
Michael somehow got a bicycle and stopped it before Sophia. “Hop on, chica.”
Looking at the bicycle, Sophia felt shy despite wanting to hop on. Nevertheless, how could she let her idol give her a ride in such cold weather?
Michael stopped the bicycle and smiled at her with his head tilted. “Just hop on. It’ll take you 30 minutes if you choose to walk out of the campus.”
With her head lowered, Sophia blushed and sat on the bicycle’s backseat quietly.
Then, Michael put his feet on the pedals and held the handlebar with his hands that were in a pair of warm gloves now. Turning his head, he told his young bride who was on the backseat, “Hold me tightly.”
Shyly, Sophia put her arms around his waist.
Oh gosh! I’m holding my idol’s waist now! He’s so strong and muscular. I can even feel his abs under his down coat!
They traveled across Bayside University on the bike. Sitting on a side, Sophia was leaning her head on Michael’s back to shield herself from the strong, cold wind. While listening to Michael’s even breathing, she really wished that time could stop at this moment.
Occasionally, there were other couples overtaking them on their bicycles, displaying their affection publicly too.
Ring…
Michael rang the bicycle bell. When the students on the road heard the sound, they made way for the bicycle, smiling when they saw the nice-looking couple.
At that moment, Sophia felt as if flowers were blossoming everywhere and the warm, spring breeze was surrounding her.
However, she seemed to have forgotten something.
Sophia only recalled what she had forgotten when Michael rode the bicycle to the campus entrance. “Oh no! We’ve forgotten Nate!”
Michael finally seemed to have remembered his son too. Hence, he hurriedly rode back and met Nathan and Gary halfway.
With a darkened expression, Nathan just ignored the couple and walked away.
This time, they really angered Nathan because he just shut himself in his own room upon reaching home. No matter how the couple coaxed him, he did not want to come out.
Standing at Nathan’s room door, Sophia was anxious. “What should we do? Nate seems to be very furious.”
However, Michael did not take this to heart and just smiled. “Don’t worry, he’ll return to his usual self tomorrow. Just let him be alone now.” On the inside however, he was thinking, It’s good that he’s angry, because he won’t interrupt me anymore!
Michael took out the box of condoms that he had long prepared from the storeroom. He planned to use them later this night.
Happily, he brought the condoms back to the bedroom while thinking about the busy night that they would have later.
Upon opening the bedroom, he saw Sophia, who was just out from a bath, lying on the bed.
When Sophia peeked from the covers and saw the box of condoms, she felt her scalp tingling and she pulled the covers up again.
At first, Michael thought that Sophia was being shy, but little did he know that a boy would suddenly pop his head out from the covers!
With a pair of widened eyes, Nathan stared at Michael, who returned the stare. The both of them remained that way for some time.
Michael was irritated. Didn’t he just shut himself in the room? Why is he here now?!
As both of them did not speak a word after a while, Sophia hurriedly broke the tension by saying, “Hubby, Nate only wants to sleep with us because he says that it’s too cold to sleep alone.”
What nonsense! He’s just here to mess around!
Feeling helpless, Michael could only put that box of condoms back to its original place. When he returned, Nathan and Sophia had already fallen asleep.
Shaking his head, he walked toward them.
After looking at them closely, he found both of them really adorable.
Never mind. I won’t blame him for the sake of his cuteness.
Although the wonderful winter break had started, Sophia didn’t seem to be planning to take a break. Every day, she would either be preparing for her next semester’s courses, or she would be going to the gym, or playing games; all of her time was occupied.
Michael was also busy filming his part in the crew so that he could go home before New Year’s Eve. All content © N/.ôvel/Dr/ama.Org.
Meanwhile, the Fletchers brought Nathan home with them. As Old Master Fletcher was really fond of Nathan, they would bring Nathan home for a few days every winter break.
This gave Sophia more free time because she did not need to take care of Nathan. Hence, she went to play games in the cybercafe every day after studying.
Recently, she had been logging in with her alternate account and she had not logged into her main account for a long time.
Ever since Nathan logged into her main account last time and messed everything up, she felt embarrassed to play with that account. This was because everyone in the same server was laughing at Sirius becoming Scary Phoenix’s ‘wife’.
Just when she was going to play with her alternate account, her ‘wife’, Call Me Taylor, told her happily, ‘Hubby, now that the Esports World Championship is approaching, a lot of skilled players in our server have formed teams to join. Are you participating too?’
The Esports World Championship? Sophia seemed to have heard of this championship before. Basically, it was an annual carnival for the worldwide nerds and it had been held for decades. Every year, more than a dozen of the famous online games could be found in the competition, including the ‘Swordsman Game’. Most importantly, it was the only Cethonian game that could be found in the competition.
Unfortunately, a foreign team won first place in the ‘Swordsman Game’ last year and the Cethonian team only got second place.
Hence, to erase this humiliation, highly-skilled Cethonian gamers had been recruited since the competition started this year.
Despite Sophia being not interested in this, Call Me Taylor kept prompting her to join. ‘Just join it, Hubby! Hurry up and sign up! I’d like to see my hubby become famous in the Aseanos region and the world!’
