Chapter 584


    Linus chatted with the guests while listening to the conversation in the restroom via his Bluetooth


    earpiece.

    The corners of his lips curved up into a charming smile which, coupled with his blonde hair and blue eyes


    that constituted his handsome looks and made him look as warm as the scorching sun, often drew


    sideways nces from the female guests. It could be said that the unmarried socialites of Bayside City


    were scrambling for him, for he was surrounded by many female guests just a short while after he


    showed up.


    However, Linus looked at Sophia from time to time.


    Looking beautiful and self-confident, she stood among the crowd like a fairy.


    Seeming to have sensed Linus’ gaze, she turned to look at him and gave him a radiant smile. Linus


    raised his wine ss and gave her a nod across the crowd.


    Sophia nodded to him as well. The two of them raised their respective wine sses toward each other in


    a toast before taking a sip of their drinks. With that, all they wanted to say to each other had been


    conveyed in silence.


    Having finished drinking her wine, Sophia put down her wine ss and was about to go back to find


    Michael when she unexpectedly heard a familiar voice from behind. “You’re here too, Sophie.”


    Upon hearing this voice, Sophia froze all over; she then looked back to see ude standing near her.


    Linus had invited some members of the military to the banquet, so it wasn’t surprising that ude was


    among them. Back when Michael spotted ude among the list of guests Linus had invited, he was so


    annoyed that he nearly crossed out ude’s name.


    Sophia really felt a little embarrassed. Thest time they met, Nathan said that Michael was her father,


    but now, he had be her husband.


    After a brief awkward silence, ude spoke, “I have learned everything…”


    He had learned about Michael, Nathan, and Sophia’s identities from Mark.


    He waspletely at ease when he met Sophia this time. He was generous and open-minded in the first


    ce, so it gratified him a lot to see Sophia being so happy right now.


    He gave her a smile that was as warm as the spring sun. “The Fletcher Family’s men are all


    dependable!”


    Sophia couldn’t help but lower her head and smile. She didn’t dare to be certain whether the Fletcher


    Family’s men were dependable, but Michael and ude were definitely the dependable ones.


    She chatted with ude for a while before her ssmate, Molly, suddenly approached her. “Oh, my!


    Sophia, so you really are Taylor Murray’s wife! Oh, my god! Hurry up and give me an autographed album


    of your husband’s!”


    The new semester had started by now, but Sophia hadn’t reported to the university since what had


    happened with Phantom Wolf made her afraid of leaving home. Therefore, it wasn’t until this day that she


    finally met her ssmates, from whom she parted with during the winter vacation.


    Everyone seemed to have be prettier after the winter vacation. Upon seeing Sophia, they hurried


    over and surrounded her.


    The saying was especially true that one would never know what his or her ssmates had done during


    their vacation.


    Sophia could hardly recognize her ssmates after not seeing them during the winter vacation. Some of


    them had slimmed down; some of them had gained some weight; some had dyed their hair; and some


    had even undergone cosmetic microsurgeries… Of course, she was the one who had undergone the


    most drastic change, for she quietly became her idol’s secretly-wedded young wife.


    Ladies of the same age could never run out of things to talk about when they were together, so Sophia


    chatted with them for a while.


    What everyone asked the most about was, of course, her rtionship with Michael.


    “Wow, I really couldn’t tell that you were actually our idol’s wife! By the way, how long have you two been


    married?”


    Sophia was still a little shy when she spoke of this. She answered, “We registered our marriage back


    when I was in my senior year.”


    Everyone couldn’t help but gasp in admiration upon hearing her answer.


    It wasn’t until this moment that they finally realized what had happened.


    “So the person who came to the ssroom during the cash-countingpetition was Miss Taylor


    himself? Oh, my god! He looked so young; I didn’t realize it was him despite him sitting right in front of


    me!”


    “The person who showed up during the sports carnival’s basketball match was also Miss Taylor himself,


    right? Oh, my god! Oh, my god…”


    Only then did everyone learn that Taylor Murray had shown up in front of them several times.


    Feeling a little shy, Sophia nodded repeatedly.


    The rtively calm Molly admired Sophia a lot. “You can really keep yourposure. I’m so fed up with


    Richard and X’scency as this adulterous couple put on a show of affection every day. If I were


    you, I would have brought Miss Taylor out with me to disy our affection right before them.”


    As they spoke of this topic, everyone couldn’t help but turn to look at the adulterous couple who were


    also present this day.


    The husband, dressed in a suit and leather shoes, was speaking with ease and fluency while standing


    among the distinguished personages and the rich. The wife, dressed in a flesh-colored low-cut dress,


    was flirtatiously drinking with a group of sickening producers and directors.


    The couple’s harmonious facade could only fool ordinary people who were ignorant of the inside story.


    Who else in upper-ss society didn’t know that X had slept with countless men?


    The couple was now ying around on their own. The husband slept with young models and female


    celebrities, whereas the wife slept with producers, directors, male models, and young idols. The tabloid


    reports about them were roughly the same.


    What a stinky adulterous couple!


    Sophia twisted her lips into a smile before saying to everyone, “He is my husband, not a tool for me to


    disy our affection and strike back at a jerk.”


    Everyone was startled. Then, feeling awkward, they immediately changed the topic of conversation, or


    else they’d be reduced to tears by the open disy of affection.


    When it came to disying affection, nobody could be a match for this married couple. Publicly


    disying their affection toward each other all the time, Sophia and Michael were widely acknowledged


    as a lovey-dovey star couple.


    Molly hastily switched to a new topic. “Sophia, do you know that Professor rk is leaving?”


    “Huh?” Sophia pricked up her ears. “Professor rk? Why is he leaving? Where is he going?”


    The youngdies were gloomy when they spoke of this topic.


    Molly exined dejectedly, “He has handed in his resignation letter. Didn’t you see the IG Stories that he


    posted two days ago? He wanted to resign and go out to travel.”


    Sophia had been so busy these few days that she barely had time to look at her social media. She


    immediately opened Quinton’s IG Stories to see the two lines that he had posted most recently. The lines


    read, ‘The world is so huge, so I’d like to go out and take a look at it.’


    Quinton is leaving… Bayside City’s teaching staff’s overall physical attractiveness will plummet!


    Looking at Quinton’s IG Stories, Sophia also felt an overwhelming sense of loss. Quinton really is a great


    teacher!


    “I think I heard someone saying behind my back that I’m handsome…”


    Suddenly hearing Quinton’s voice, thedies looked back to see Quinton standing not far behind them.


    Dressed in a wine-colored suit that showed off his elegant and mysterious qualities, he looked


    indescribably handsome as he stood elegantly in the light while holding a ss of red wine.


    Pleasantly surprised, thedies immediately dragged Quinton over and surrounded him.


    “Professor rk, didn’t you say that you couldn’t attend the banquet because you were ill and


    bedridden?”


    “Professor rk, let’s take a picture together!”


    Being handsome was indeed a privilege, for everyone caught Quinton and took selfies with him right


    after he showed up. After they finished taking pictures together, everyone surrounded him and spoke


    enthusiastically to him.


    “I didn’t want toe at first, but Linus invited me after all. Moreover, I’ll go overseas in a few days, so I


    muste to have a look at everybody.”


    Quinton’s voice was especially attractive and pleasant to the ear, so everyone couldn’t help feeling regret


    for his departure upon hearing his reply.


    “When will youe back, Professor rk? Where can we find you in the future?”


    Quinton took a sip of the red liquid in his wine ss before answering, “I don’t know that as well. I think I


    may volunteer to teach in rural areas after traveling around the world. It has always been my dream to be


    a volunteer teacher in rural areas.”
