Chapter 33: A Mother And Her Child

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Sebastian asked, “Sad, huh?”

Sophia was frightened by his constant questioning, and when she heard him ask again, she immediately changed her tone, “Well, perhaps not. I remember a poem that goes like this: I use dreams as reality, reality as dreams, the future as the past, the past as the future, nothing as everything, everything as nothing. I have everything, but I am very poor. Does this poem match the name of the shop?”

Anita nodded her head in agreement.

Seeing dreams as reality, and reality as a dream?

One who had everything but was still poor?

Sebastian was silent, but it wasn’t because he was unhappy.

Anita said, “When the shop owner thought of this name, perhaps he had the same thoughts as Sophia?”

Sebastian replied calmly, “The owner didn’t think of the name himself. This place used to be a bar, and its name was “Sadness.” When the bar was renovated, the owner kept the name, purely because he thought it was elegant enough.”

That’s all?

Sophia was speechless and embarrassed. Was Sebastian making fun of her all this while?

Sebastian said, “What’d you like to eat?”

After the sumptuous meal, Sebastian drove them back to campus.

After getting out of the car, Sophia and Anita looked at the black Lexus gradually disappearing from their sight and let out a sigh of relief.

Sophia complained, “Your brother doesn’t have many friends, does he?”

Anita tried to defend Sebastian, “Apart from his sharp tongue, he is actually a good person.”

Sebastian usually didn’t talk much. When he was with his sister, he mostly listened quietly. He would only make a face when he was unhappy.

He was a little talkative today, and his expression changed a lot.

Anita went back to her dorm, washed up, and hit the bed straight. She completely forgot about the online posts she had been reading before dinner.

She only remembered when she woke up the next morning.

She immediately took out her phone and began scrolling.

There were already thousands of replies.

Things did not look good. The last few replies were all about finding out the real reason why Sophia wanted to give birth.

Anita went up to remind Sophia. At least she’d be prepared if anything happened today.

Perhaps because of the good meal, Sophia slept well. When she woke up in the morning, she was full of energy and was in a beautiful mood.

After reading the post, she wasn’t really upset.

“Did Norman write the post? Is he going against me?”

“I’m not sure if he did it personally but it’s written by people on his side.”

Sophia said coldly, “Why can’t I just give birth to the child for the sake of it?

“To marry into a rich family? Is marrying into a rich family more important than the child?”

As a mother-to-be, she could not quite understand what the people who asked her to abort the child were thinking.

Was a human life worthless?

Anita shook her head. As a young lady from a rich family, she did not know what the people were raving about marrying into a rich family.

Sophia attended classes as usual as her pregnancy didn’t stop her from studying. The rumors on the Internet couldn’t stop her.

There was a course in econometrics today, and the instructor was a professor in the school’s mathematics department.

Sophia came to the classroom early and sat down. It was ten minutes before the beginning of the lesson.

She opened her book and began to do some lesson previews.

Finance was merely practical mathematics. Most of the complicated finance classes were related to mathematics, and only professors in the mathematics department could teach them.

Although Anita studied finance, she wasn’t good at math. Therefore, she applied for a management-focused finance degree. The university looked at her poor grades and approved her application.

However, there was a price to pay for this unusual arrangement. The price was that Sebastian, had to provide yearly internship positions to students of Rotary University at his company.

Anita did not take econometrics, so she wasn’t here with Sophia today.

“Miss Sophia, do you mind if I sit here?”

It was a very magnetic and pleasant male voice.

Sophia raised her head and saw Felix standing next to her, holding a book in his hands.

Felix’s appearance was the same as his temperament. He was gentle, fair, and reserved.

He had always been a very polite and cultured person. Even though Sophia had communicated with him many times, he would still address her as “miss.”

Sophia nodded. “Of course. Also, just call me Sophia.”

He sat down, opened his book, and focused his attention there.

They were focused in their studies, a jarring sight in the chaotic classroom.

Not to mention that one of them was Sophia herself.

A woman who wanted to “use her child as leverage and marry into a rich family.”

The posts in the forum were read by many people. They also wanted to know what Sophia was thinking when she decided to give birth to the baby.

The impatient people wanted to ask her and get the answer immediately but relented after seeing Felix by her side..
