Chapter 1007 Graduation
“But hasn’t Old Mr. Lombard already picked out the date? Would it really be okay to change it now?”
William had hired an expert to pick out an auspicious date.
“We can always do that again. Let’s just get married earlier. I really don’t want to wait for another second.”
“Okay. I’ll go with whatever you say. I have nothing against it.” If he wants to get married, they let’s get married. It’s just a matter of time anyway.
Tristan took her by the hand. “I love you, Sophie.”
He just couldn’t help himself when it came to her. He loved her so much.
He wanted to be with her for the rest of his life and never be apart.
“I love you too,” Sophie replied, beaming. She had become much more jolly ever since they got together. The two arrived at the University of Medicine to find people taking photos in their robes everywhere. They had been here for seven years.
It was only natural that many felt reluctant to leave after having remained all these years.
Mistakes don’t matter that much at university. One would feel shameful at most, but time eventually passes and those embarrassing moments will be forgotten.
However, things are different outside of school. The challenges one has to experience in society are far more ruthless and sinister.
As soon as Sophie arrived, all the seniors she was classmates with called her over.
“Hurry, Sophie! You’re the only one left!”
They hadn’t spent much time with her. She was a medical genius, after all, and it had only taken her two years to achieve what had taken them seven years.
Even so, she was still their classmate, and having a group photo at graduation was a must.
Tristan helped Sophie wear her hat before adjusting her robe.
“Go on. They’re all waiting for you.” This was Sophie’s moment, and she deserved every second of it. “Okay. Wait for me here,” the young woman responded before trotting over to join her peers.
Although she didn’t enjoy being photographed, she knew it was necessary and thus squeezed herself into a corner.
Despite being dressed in the same attire as everyone else, Sophie was still the most captivating one out of the bunch. It didn’t matter what she wore; she always shone the brightest.
“All right, is everyone ready? Look over here and wait for my count,” the photographer instructed, adjusting the position of the camera for the last time. “Okay, smile! One, two, three….
Graduation
With that, Sophie’s time at the University of Medicine had come to an end.
The woman had only spent two years there, but she had learned everything she needed to learn along with everything she shouldn’t have learned. In truth, she enjoyed her days here.
After the photo-taking session, a senior approached her.
“I really like you, Sophie. Can I please have your number?” Everyone at the University of Medicine knew that Sophie had a boyfriend, so this man could only like her from afar.
Yet, now that everyone was going their separate ways, all he wanted was her phone number.
“I’m sorry, but I have a boyfriend. He’ll be upset if I give you my number.” Sophie genuinely cared about Tristan’s feelings and would never do anything that made him unhappy.
This was how she showed respect for their relationship.
Tristan had never had much of a sense of security in the first place because of their age gap, so why would she still do something to upset him more?
No one should ever do something to make their partner feel insecure.
Despite feeling slightly let down, Sophie’s senior continued to smile.
“I was just shooting my shot. It’s okay if you say no. Let’s have a reunion next time.”
She’s always treated her boyfriend really well and would never get close to any other guy. She must really love him. “All the best to you, Sophie. I hope you’ll always be happy.”
A prodigy like her would be looked up to no matter where she went.
She certainly had many admirers too.
“All the best to you too.”
Ysabelle and the others soon arrived, knowing that she was graduating today.
Her popularity had skyrocketed due to her works, so many people rushed over to take photos with her the moment she showed up, and Felix was quickly shoved aside.
Still, he had somewhat grown accustomed to such situations and merely stood next to Tristan.
“Seriously, Tristan, your girl’s out of this world. It took everyone else seven years to graduate from this place, but she only spent two years here.” Aren’t we all human beings? Why the stark difference
“Why? Is there a problem? Do you know why she wanted to graduate so quickly? It’s because she wants to marry me right after she’s done here,” Tristan said.
Felix was speechless.
Why do I still have to deal with other people flaunting their relationships? How am I even supposed to respond? But whatever. He looks really happy now, at least. I don’t remember the last time he smiled like this.
Ysabelle went over to the men when she was done taking photos with her fans and giving them her autograph
Sophie joined the group too.
“Come on! Aren’t we here to take pictures? Help us take one, Felix.”
Ysabelle and Tristan stood next to Sophie on each side, but the next moment, Tristan held Sophie by the shoulder, and the woman leaned slightly toward him.
Ysabelle scowled after seeing the photo.
“Why do I feel as if you’re both planning to Photoshop me out of this picture?” It’s way too obvious! They’re being all lovey-dovey with each other, and I’m here standing there looking awkward! What the heck is this?
“You’ve always been a third wheel. Don’t you know that?” Tristan commented scathingly. It was the truth. Ysabelle was bereft of words.
“Can I please have a picture with Sophie, Uncle Tristan? Just the two of us.” She had put off some very important work just to be here today.
Tristan wasn’t so petty as to turn her down. He walked away, allowing Ysabelle to sit next to Sophie, their backs leaning against each other.
“You’ll be a full-fledged member of society from now on, Sophie!” In truth, the woman had already been one long ago.
Graduating from university at the age of twenty was an impeccable and awe-inspiring feat.
“Yeah.” She had finally graduated and could marry the man of her dreams.
When they were done taking photos, Sophie noticed the chancellor of the University of Medicine waiting/ for her nearby.
She walked toward him.
“Is there something you’d like to see me for, Mr. Sawyer?”
“Well, Sophie, I think you should take on a postgraduate degree. It’d be such a waste if someone of immense talent like you were to stop here.”
He was attempting to make her stay.
She’d be the pride of our university-a maker of history!
