Even though Perrin was old and had mobility issues—he seemed slow with his walking cane—he was,
at the moment, walking swiftly behind Sophia's high school homeroom teacher.
When Gabrielle noticed that Perrin seemed to have a bad leg, she deliberately slowed down. To her
surprise, Perrin was walking even faster than her.
The group of people soon came to the building. As they ascended the stairs, Perrin finally slowed
down.
Sophia caught up with him and supported him. “Granddad, slow down.”
It was not as if that thing would grow legs and run away.
Kylie, who finally caught up as well, chuckled. “Dad, it's been more than a decade since you walked
that fast, right?”
Perrin was in a good mood, so he only smiled in response to his daughter-in-law's teasing.
In no time, they were on the fifth floor.
Sophia's classroom was right at the end of the corridor.
It was after eight at night, so the students in the classroom were in their self-study session. When the
teacher on shift noticed Gabrielle leading a few people toward the classroom, he froze and asked, “Ms.
Yates, this is...”
Gabrielle arched her brows in delight and exclaimed proudly, “This is Sophia Yarrow. The same Sophia
Yarrow the principal keeps telling you about!”
The teacher on shift had only come to the school three years ago. While he had heard of Sophia, he
had never seen her in person. Though, he did see her in a photo before. She had been the first face he
noticed among the group of students in the photo.
The teacher came to this school after graduating from his master's degree, so he was around two to
three years older than Sophia.
It was dark outside, and the lights were dim, but despite that, the teacher still could not help but be
attracted by Sophia's pretty eyes.
People tended to fall for pretty people and pretty things. The teacher, who was in his early thirties, was
single. The second he saw Sophia, he found himself infatuated with her.
His face flushed red, and he stiffly turned to Gabrielle. “Oh, so she's Sophia Yarrow.”
Since the surroundings were dim and Gabrielle was focusing all her attention on Sophia, she did not
notice the blush on the young male teacher's face. She even chuckled and remarked teasingly, “She's
beautiful, isn't she? Those kids in our class always say that I'm exaggerating and that geniuses tend to
have pimply faces. I'm afraid that's not the case for Sophia. Just look at her. In fact, she doesn't seem
like she ever had pimples! Am I right, Mr. Jarlett?”
The teacher nodded fervently and squeezed out awkwardly, “You're right.”
Sophia gave them a small smile in response but remained silent.
Once Gabrielle was done exchanging pleasantries with the young male teacher, they continued their
way.
Soon, they arrived by the window of the classroom Sophia used to be in.
In the prime of their youth, seventeen-to-eighteen-year-old high school seniors were experiencing the
beauty of adolescence.
Time had flown by, yet the classroom remained a nostalgic reminder of the past. Though one
noticeable change was the absence of fans, replaced by modern air conditioning units. The desks,
however, remained the same, a symbol of continuity.
“Look, Mr. Dawson. Those are the blessings Sophia wrote back then!”
Even though Sophia seemed elegant and quiet, her calligraphy was bold. The short blessing she had
written on the blackboard had been rubbed and hung above the door. It was a rather charming
decoration.
Perrin saw it too. He was not a man who had much education, so he was not as well-versed in such
matters as Penelope.
However, Penelope came from a family of scholars and was influenced by her grandfather. Every once
in a while, Perrin would practice calligraphy with Penelope. Though he was not as skilled in it as
Penelope, he could tell that Sophia's words were written magnificently, just like her personality.
Judging from the short phrase she had written, Perrin could already tell that his granddaughter was a
woman with a profound mind of her own.
Perrin nodded in satisfaction before turning to Sophia. “It's been a long time since you're back, right?
Since you're here, do you want to say hello to your juniors?”
Perrin's suggestion was exactly in line with Gabrielle's intentions. At the end of the day, Sophia was her
student, and she knew the young woman's personality well.
Sophia had indeed shown great courtesy toward her. The fact that the principal and other school
leaders held Sophia in such high regard could be attributed not only to her outstanding academic
prowess but also to the thoughtful gifts she would send during holidays and festivals.
The gifts were not expensive, but they were gifts chosen through careful consideration, for they were
food and essential items—things that others would not complain about upon reception.
Furthermore, Sophia would donate a sum to the school every year to be used for educational
expenses.
There were many things Sophia did for the school, so the school expressed their desire to commend
Sophia and help her apply for a title as one of the top youths in the city several times, but Sophia
always rejected them.
Later on, the principal told them that Sophia was indifferent to such superficial accolades and advised
against further disturbing her. After that, the others stopped talking about the matter, but Sophia
remained a cherished presence in everyone's minds.
Now that she was back, Gabrielle, without a doubt, wanted her to boost the morale of the current
students. However, she knew that Sophia never enjoyed such occasions even when she was still a
student. The third-best student in Sophia's grade would always be the one to give the student
representative speech during school opening ceremonies, for the second-best student, Joshua Lewis,
was just as low-profile as Sophia.
Strangely, the school had managed to groom two excellent students—Joshua and Sophia—in the
same year and in the same class. Even though it had been years since Sophia and Joshua's
graduation, that still felt so surreal to Gabrielle.
Moreover, Sophia, Joshua, and Katherine had been inseparable since their high school days. As their
teacher, Gabrielle could not help but feel a swell of pride seeing how Sophia, Joshua, and Katherine
were flourishing in their chosen fields.
Sophia cast a quick glance at her enthusiastic teacher, finding it hard to decline. Sporting a smile, she
replied, “All right, I'll head in and say hello to the underclassmen.”
Gabrielle beamed when she heard that. “That's wonderful! Let me break the good news to them.”
With that said, Gabrielle went into the classroom.
Sophia stayed by the windowsill, awkwardly shifting on her spot a little. A handful of students had
already noticed her.
Nevertheless, by then, Gabrielle was already in the classroom. As she walked to the front of the room,
she said, “Apologies for occupying ten minutes of your valuable time. Today, we have a special guest,
Sophia Yarrow, a senior whom you've only heard about but never had the chance to meet until now. As
your teacher, I shamelessly requested her to engage with all of you. Make sure you don't let this
opportunity slip by you! Feel free to ask any questions you may have. And for those who may doubt the
rumors, do take a good look and see if Sophia truly possesses the rumored beauty and intellect!”
Despite being in her forties, Gabrielle possessed an open-minded nature and was far from strict when it
came to her students. As soon as Sophia entered, Gabrielle graciously moved aside, creating space
and allowing Sophia to take the spotlight.
Sophia made a grand entrance, adorned in a stunning floor-length dress. Due to the chilly atmosphere
during her meal, she opted to add a beige cardigan as an extra layer to her ensemble. Her makeup
was minimal, but she had bold and striking features. When she stood by the podium and was under the
glowing radiance of the lights, the teenagers in the classroom could not help but feel a sense of awe.
“Sorry for intruding on your self-study time. I was informed by Ms. Yates that many of you have been
curious about me, so I thought it would be good to come in and satisfy your curiosity. Truth be told, I'm
just a regular person.”
Sophia smiled slightly when she spoke. By then, a small commotion had erupted among the students.
