Chapter 942
Chapter 942 He Was Happy
“I’ll bring him in two more days.”
She had something else to work on for the next two days, so she could not bring Caleb over.
“All right. Ms. Tanner. We look forward to welcoming you,” said the director of the Institute of Physics. It was a coincidence that he had met Sophie, and he was awed by her talent in physics,
Nevertheless, his invitations for her to join the Institute of Physics had been met with her constant rejection. To hear her finally agree to it, he was delighted.
After ending the call, Sophie called Caleb.
“Caleb, it’s me.”
“Mm, I know. What’s up?”
Caleb knew that Sophie was busy. In fact, this was her first time calling him after his return to the country a while ago.
“Are you free the day after tomorrow? I’d like to take you to meet someone.”
The day after tomorrow? Yes, I’m free. Caleb had nothing to do, and it was not as if he wanted to go to Tanner Group. He had all the time in the world.
“I’ll come and pick you up on that day, then.”
With that, Sophie ended the call.
Caleb did not reject her even though he had no idea why Sophie was looking for him. After all, she was the sister he doted on.
However, he did not have the chance to get to know her previously, and as Sophie was not the kind who acted like a younger sibling, they eventually grew distant.
Still, he was finally back.
He had time to fix their relationship.
When Caleb went downstairs, he spotted Charmaine sitting in a daze in the living room. She seemed unhappy.
“Mom, where did you go this morning? You should rest at home if you’re feeling unwell.”
“Caleb, did you hear about this? Sophie skipped grades, and she even skipped to the fourth year of university despite being a student at the University of Medicine!” The University of Medicine was a university that was notoriously difficult to be admitted into.
Not only was Sophie accepted into the university, but she even skipped grades.
“Mm, our Sophie’s excellent.” Caleb could not help but feel proud of his sister.
“Are you not at all surprised?”
“Why should I? She’s your daughter. Shouldn’t you be proud of her achievements?”
“I wanted her to help you out, but I couldn’t find that ungrateful girl.” Regardless of everything. I’m her mother How could she block me?
Caleb’s expression darkened when he heard that.
“Mom, stop looking for Sophie. She has her own life.”
“What is with your tone? I was looking for her because of you. If you-
“Mom, I know what I should do with my matters.”
“Do you? How long has it been since you came back to the country? I asked you to go to Tanner Group, but you refused to. The only person who can help you now is Mr. Tristan.”
It was merely the Institute of Physics. With a word from Tristan, Caleb’s issue would be easily resolved.
“Mom, I told you not to bother Sophie. Everything’s fine as long as her life is peaceful now. She isn’t obligated to help us.”
“What are you talking about?”
Caleb leaped up from the couch in anger.
“That’s enough. I don’t want to talk to you about this anymore. I have something else to attend to, so I’ll be out of the house for a while,” Caleb uttered, not wanting to go on with the topic.
Sophie was brilliant without a doubt, but she was not bound by duty to help him.
His concern for her only stemmed from his desire to mend their relationship.
“Each and every one of you is getting more and more rebellious! None of you listens to me anymore!” In her anger, Charmaine threw everything she could in the living room to the ground.
When Willow heard the noise, she went downstairs, only to be greeted by the sight of the mess.
“Mom, don’t get so worked up. It’s not worth it.”
Sophie had never cared about them, so no matter how angry Charmaine was, nothing would change.
“Oh, forget it. I don’t want to see you either. Go back to your room!” Charmaine was mad at Willow too.
She had placed all her hope on Willow, but now, no nouveau riche would be interested in her.
What else could she expect?
At night, Sophie went to TS Entertainment to pick Ysabelle up. Ysabelle had been working hard lately. She was either at her vocal lessons or dance lessons.
When Sophie arrived, Ysabelle was still in the middle of practicing a dance routine.
Ysabelle was covered in sweat, and yet, she seemed like the brightest star in the room.
“Very good, Ysabelle. Take note of the power in your moves. Yes, yes, that’s the way. The dance teacher was immensely satisfied with Ysabelle’s recent performance.
Before Ysabelle was done with her routine, the dance teacher came over to Sophie.
“Ms. Sophie, Ysabelle has been performing wonderfully, the dance teacher praised.
“Yes, I can see that. Thank you. It’s getting late. You can clock out first.”
“All right. I’ll be leaving, then, Ms. Sophie.” It was already after six by then, long past the working hours. Ysabelle’s hardworking attitude was what made her stay.
When the music came to an end, Ysabelle completed her last move. Sophie passed her a towel, and she took it to wipe her sweat.
“How was it, Sophie? The dance teacher said I have made big improvements, but what do you think?” Ysabelle asked. She had been putting her all into her practices to take her mind off Felix.
“It’s excellent.”
“Oh, by the way, why are you here today?”
“I invited Mark and the others to dinner. It’s been a long time since we had a meal together. I know you like them, so I’m going to bring you along.”
Most importantly, Ysabelle would be returning home alone, so Sophie thought she might as well bring Ysabelle to dinner instead.
“Sure! Give me a second. I’m going to take a quick shower.” Ysabelle was covered in sweat, and she was really not in the appropriate state for dinner.
“Okay. I’ll go and look for Mark and the rest first. They’ve been practicing for the concert. Come find us when you’re done changing.
“Sure. You go ahead.”
Sophie went to look for Mark and his group in their spacious practice room. When Sophie arrived, they were in the middle of their practice, so she decided to stand by the doorway to watch them perform instead of disturbing them.
The Wheelers had achieved their current fame due to the members’ hard work. Even though it was only practice, they were immersed in the moment.
Moreover, their level of cooperation was something few bands could mimic.
At the last note, Sophie clapped her hands and walked over.
“That was fantastic. You’re really the most perfect band I’ve ever seen.”
Mark put down the microphone and walked over to her.
“We’re here today because of you. Without you, we would have disbanded a long time ago.”
Naturally, Mark knew that Sophie had feelings toward The Wheelers too.
“What are you talking about? You’re the main reason for this band to have such achievements now.”
