Chapter 90 - 90: It’s Better To Say It

Sophia took out her phone, took some photos of Mitch, and planned to share them with netizens on her blog. She hadn't seen Mitch these days and missed him a lot. Those netizens who loved Mitch must miss him, too. After all, her… no, Watson's Mitch was so lovely and so clever. No one was willing to leave him.

Watson sat down on the sofa and suddenly said, "Sophia Green. You are... a girl, right?"

Sophia raised her head and looked at him in silence.

Was there any doubt about that? Wasn't it… obvious?

She suddenly found a faint blush on Watson's face.

Did he get burned when he was boiling water?

Watson spoke haltingly, "Actually, I, I have a question to ask you."

A thought occurred to Sophia. She probably knew what it was. The foreigner was so shy… Then, it must be about love!

As expected, Watson said, "Do you think girls in your country would… like foreigners like me?"

Sophia smiled, didn't answer his words, but asked, "Is she, Miss Garcia?"

Watson was surprised and said, "How do you know?"

Sophia didn't know how to reply.

She was not retarded! When Watson and Diana were together those days, she could see that Watson liked Diana.

Diana was very beautiful and gentle. Watson really chose a good girl.

"So…" Watson looked down, embarrassed, "do you think she will like a man like me? I'm… several years older than her. And I am a foreigner."

Sophia smiled, "I don't know. I'm not Miss Garcia. How can I know if she likes you or not? Since you like her, you should tell her and let her know your love. Only then will she tell you her thoughts."

Watson looked up, and his eyes were bright, "Is that so?"

Sophia was about to speak when Pearson suddenly said, "I don't think so!"

Watson was stunned, "What do you mean?"

Albert said, "If you tell her your love, and she didn't like you, what should you do? Have you ever thought about that? If so… your relationship will be very awkward after that."

Watson hesitated, "well..."

"So," continued Albert, "you should find out what she wants and see if she also likes you first. If she likes you, you can just tell her your love. If she doesn't like you, you'd better not say anything."

Sophia didn't agree with him, "I think it's better to say it. How can he know her real thought just by sounding her out? If she didn't know his real thought, how could she possibly say her thought? Anyway, if you like someone, I think you should just say it. That is the best way to solve the problem. Even if you are rejected, at least there is no regret."

"You're not right," Pearson retorted, "For example, two people who are close to each other can be good friends, but once one tells the other his or her love, they may not be friends anymore."

Sophia stared at Albert and said slowly, "Have you been in a lot of relationships?"

Albert paused. Later, he said, "No… I don't… What about you?"

"I don't, either." Replied Sophia.

So… what were they fighting about?

After the debating between the two, Watson became even more confused.

Finally, Sophia came up with a solution. "How about this? The next time you two meet, I'll follow you. I'll try to get acquainted with Miss Garcia and then ask her to think about you. If she likes you, you can tell her your love. Then everything will be perfect, right?"

Then she looked at Albert.

Albert said nothing, which meant he wouldn't object.

Sophia held Mitch for a while. When it was late, she reluctantly let go of him.

She took a sip of water and told Watson not to feed Mitch so much food and try to take him out for a walk after dinner.

Watson agreed before she left with Albert.

Albert still took the stairs when he went down. Sophia had to follow him down the stairs. She couldn't help but ask, "Why don't you take the elevator, Mr. Pearson? Is it for exercise?"

Albert frowned, "I like to walk the stairs!"

Sophia had no choice but to follow him downstairs.

Out of the neighborhood, Sophia pushed her bike to leave, Albert also got into his car.

Sophia turned back and waved goodbye to him. As she was about to leave, she suddenly heard Albert say, "Don't visit a stranger's house casually."

Sophia nodded, "Yeah."

She suddenly felt that Albert was like her mum.

On Thursday afternoon, Sophia went to Director Bull's office to get the admission ticket.

Director Bull handed her the admission ticket and gave her a set of stationery. He told her to be careful and never hand in the paper in advance. Even if she finished it, she should check it again and again. After all, it was a big competition in the field of mathematics.

Sophia handed in the exam papers in advance on several exams before, which left a psychological shadow on Director Bull. He was afraid that Sophia would lose points due to carelessness.

Sophia agreed and left with the stationery and admission ticket.

***

The first round of exams was on Friday morning. It was hosted by Glinton University. And the test room was located in Glinton University.

Sophia was very familiar with it. She had been longing to visit the laboratory these days. But Glinton University had been managing strictly since this semester. And she could not enter without a student ID card.

Thus, she left early that day and wanted to visit the lab again before the test.

The school had classes on Friday. Director Bull had already told her in advance that she did not need to go to school in the morning. She just had to concentrate on the exam. If she missed some courses, he could ask her teachers to help her with the lessons.

Naturally, Sophia didn't need any help with her lessons.

Sophia set out early in the morning and took the first bus to Glinton University.
