Chapter 495

“Wait, I’ll send both of you there!” How can I not be there for their first day of school?

“Uncle Tristan, shouldn’t you be resting at home since you have yet to fully recover?” What’s he tagging

along for? Besides, we’re there to enroll ourselves, and there’s no luggage to carry.

“Sophie, with school starting, will you be staying there or what?” It was a crucial question for her.

“Instead of staying on campus, I’ll find a condominium nearby.” As she needed to attend both the

University of Medicine and Jipsdale University, it was inconvenient to live far away.

“In that case, can I share your unit? Going home just takes up too much time.”

Now that she was also an artist, going back and forth was too troublesome.

“You should get your own place,” Tristan interrupted before Sophie could react.

Since both ladies were adults and Sophie was attached, it would be inconvenient for them to be

housemates.

As a result, Tristan snuffed out the idea right away.

“Come on, Uncle Tristan. I want Sophie’s company because I’ll be lonely staying by myself.”

Why can’t you let me stay with her? I really don’t want to live alone.

“Don’t you worry. I’ll behave and not get in your way at all!”

I’ll hide in my room whenever he’s here. I’m sure that’ll make him happy.

“Sophie, I really want to stay together with you, as I’ll definitely be bullied when I’m alone.”

Ysabelle had no choice but to play the victim card against her uncle’s objection.

“Tristan, let her stay with me, please? It’s no big deal.”

Sophie, wavering from the sight of Ysabelle’s pitiful face, shared the sentiment that staying together

allowed them to look after each other.

“I’ll be willing to let you stay in the same building but in a different unit.” Her presence will definitely get

in the way.

Despite Ysabelle’s defiance, the look on Tristan’s face stopped her from protesting any further.

Thereafter, he drove both of them to Jipsdale University first.

The moment they arrived, Christopher Olsen, the university chancellor, gave Sophie a call, worried that

she wouldn’t turn up.

When the three of them went to the chancellor’s office, they found Christopher waiting for them there.

“Sophie, the researchers at Jipsdale University are extremely smart. With your credentials, you’ll have

no trouble being accepted.”

Jipsdale University’s research institute was considered a nest for the national research institutes. It was

filled with talents who were headhunted by the same institutes upon graduation.

“Prior to this, I was worried that you wouldn’t come. I understand that saving lives is important, but

high-tech research is equally crucial to the nation.” Given Sophie’s capabilities, Christopher hoped that

she would concentrate her efforts on nuclear research.

“Mr. Olsen, don’t worry. Since I have given you my word, I’ll definitely keep it. That said, my goal

remains the same—I’m still going to the University of Medicine,” Sophie insisted.

Her resolute stance elicited a nod of resignation from Christopher.

“I understand. I’ll get the dean of the Faculty of Physics to take you there.” There’s no point in forcing

her now. Once she learns more at the Faculty of Physics, she would naturally be spellbound by the

mystery of physics. When that happens, I’m sure she’ll drop the University of Medicine.

“It’s fine. I don’t need any special treatment. We’ll find our way there.” Having the dean of the Faculty of

Physics guide me will attract too much attention.

It was important to Sophie to keep a low profile on campus.

“Sure. In that case, why don’t get a handsome senior to come and get you?” Christopher cracked a

joke out of nowhere.

Having noticed Tristan by Sophie’s side and guessing they were close, he couldn’t help but tease the

former, just to get a kick out of it.

No sooner had he spoken than Tristan shot him a murderous glare. Nonetheless, the unfazed

Christopher continued to sip his coffee calmly.

“Mr. Olsen, thank you for the kind thought, but I’m fine getting there on my own.” Sophie proceeded to

hold Tristan’s hand to signal that she didn’t need some good-looking senior at all.

Their responses triggered a smile from Ysabelle.

She was envious of Sophie, who had Tristan fussing over everything related to her.

After emerging from the chancellor’s office, the three of them headed straight for the Faculty of

Physics. Due to the expansive campus, they rode there on bicycles provided by the bike share

program.

Upon their arrival, they noticed that the place wasn’t crowded. As the top faculty in a premier university,

there were few students due to the high entrance requirements.

Furthermore, most of the students were male.

The moment a beauty like Sophie stepped onto the premise, all of them ogled at her with glistening

eyes.

She’s gorgeous! Even the prettiest girl in the faculty pales in comparison to her.

Unfortunately, their brazen attention made Sophie uncomfortable, causing her to wonder if there were

any consequences for killing a couple of them. After all, these were the future pillars of the nation.

“Miss, are you here to enroll in the Faculty of Physics? Let me be your guide!”

Pretty girls were never short on men picking them up, and Sophie was no exception.

The presence of the dashing Tristan didn’t stop them from trying their luck.

“Thank you, but I’m fine doing it myself,” Sophie declined cordially.

“Miss, I’m Jackie Chance, a final-year student. This is my number… If there’s anything you need, feel

free to give me a call.”

Jackie had barely flashed her a vibrant smile when his friends pulled him away.

“Sophie, this faculty is full of handsome guys!” Ysabelle was surprised by the number of hunks she

spotted as she had expected to see nerds.

Why do I get the feeling that Uncle Tristan is being challenged?

“Moreover, all of them seem to like you.” Well, they would be fools not to!

At that moment, both Sophie’s and Tristan’s moods began to bifurcate.

Tristan felt threatened by the thought of Sophie studying in a place like that, whereas the latter was

simply annoyed by the attention.

What am I going to do with so many people staring at me?

When a group of male students who were in the midst of registering themselves saw her, they made

way for her immediately.

Watching the treatment accorded to Sophie, Ysabelle couldn’t help but beam.

Evidently, Sophie is just as popular in university. Everyone loves her!

“Are you sure you don’t want to register?” Sophie cocked a brow.

“Gorgeous, you should do it first, as we’re not in a hurry. Given how hot is, you can hurry back home

once you’re done.” The guys in the Faculty of Physics certainly knew how to treat a woman well. “I

suppose this is your brother. He looks really handsome too!”

They continued making conversation with flattery.

Brother? Is there something wrong with their eyes?

“I’m her boyfriend!” Tristan staked his claim at once. D*mn it, I’m not going to tolerate them coming

onto her.
