Chapter 304

Confession Sophie and Ysabelle had just gotten off the bus and were about to get their suitcases when

Bailey walked over to them. “Let me help!” he offered. Seeing that he wanted to help them, Sophie did

not stop him and just let him be. The duo stood aside as Bailey helped them to move their suitcases

out of the bus. Then, he walked over to them. “Let’s go! I’ll bring you to check in to your room!” Bailey

arrived earlier than them at the mountain resort, so he had gotten very familiar with the place. The

scenery at the mountain resort was beautiful. On the way, Ysabelle could not help admiring the

surroundings, whereas Bailey’s gaze was focused on Sophie the whole time. It has only been a few

days since I last saw her, yet she looks even more beautiful! How is it possible that she looks so

gorgeous? Naturally, Ysabelle could also sense that Bailey was infatuated with Sophie. Holding

Sophie’s arm, she whispered, “Sophie, Bailey can’t take his eyes off you! I guess he hasn’t moved on

from you yet.” Humph! Although Bailey is handsome, he is still Uncle Tristan’s love rival, and I will

never be nice to him. Sophie shook her head and grunted in acknowledgment.

Hmm? What does that response mean? Can someone tell me what Sophia is thinking? I came here on

a mission! I mustn’t let Bailey get close to Sophie when Uncle Tristan has entrusted me with her! After

helping the two young women check in, Bailey escorted them to their room. Sophie and Ysabelle

shared the same room, so he helped them move their suitcases inside. “I’m sure you haven’t eaten yet.

Neither have I. Why don’t we have dinner together? It’s dinner time anyway,” said Bailey earnestly. At

first, he wanted to give up his feelings for Sophie, but he mulled over it and changed his mind. Both of

them were around the same age, and he believed that no one could be too certain about the future.

Thus, if he put in enough effort and became someone qualified to be with her, he could then pursue her

without reservations.

“Bailey, I think I’ve made myself clear to you.” Sophie was never someone who would toy with others’

feelings, so she felt the need to clarify her stance in the current situation. “I don’t harbor other

intentions. I just felt that we should watch out for each other in this place since we’re all from Jipsdale

Premier High. Please don’t overthink,” Bailey replied. He was not that foolish to confess to her at that

juncture. It was fine for him if Sophie did not like him. After all, love at first sight was not a common

thing. Instead, he believed that love usually grew over time. “You go ahead for dinner. I’ve traveled long

to reach this place, so I feel like getting a shower first.” Sophie did not continue that topic after hearing

his response. It was inappropriate for her to insist that he had feelings for her when he had already

clarified that. Most importantly, Bailey did not do anything which crossed the line. “All right, then.” Bailey

did not force her to have dinner with him either. He did not want to pester her too much, as he figured

being that persistent would only make her push him away. After sending Bailey out, Sophie closed the

door and took out a fresh set of clothes from her suitcase. “Sophie, I think Bailey is still crushing on

you,” Ysabelle commented as she unpacked her suitcase. “Stop that. I can’t control his feelings and

thoughts. It doesn’t matter now since I’ve told him everything that has to be told.”

There was nothing Sophie could do about how Bailey thought of her, as no one in the world could

control another person’s thoughts and feelings, regardless of how powerful they were. Holding her

clothes, Sophie went to the bathroom to take a shower. Ysabelle sat on the bed and continued to

unpack her suitcase. Then, she waited for Sophie to come out of the bathroom. After Sophie had taken

her shower, Ysabelle went inside the bathroom for her turn. When the two freshened up and stepped

out of their room again, they realized that Bailey was still standing outside. It had been half an hour

since they last talked, so they wondered why he had yet to leave. “Bailey, don’t tell me you have not

eaten yet.” Ysabelle was in disbelief. Bailey was the campus hunk at Jipsdale Premier High, having

countless girls lining up to win over his heart, yet he was willing to put his dignity aside for Sophie.

“Yeah, I haven’t eaten. Let’s go together,” he replied. Sophie was at a loss for words. In the end, the

three went to have dinner together. “Sophie, this time, the summer camp is joined by youths from

different regions. We need to be in teams of three. Since we’re from the same school, let’s just form a

team together.” “Is that so?” “Yeah. Because you two arrived later, the others have formed their teams.

Now, the three of us can only be on the same team.” In that case, Sophie and Ysabelle were left with

no choice. “I’m fine with that.” Hearing that, Ysabelle suddenly felt like a dead weight to Sophie and

Bailey. “Sophie, would I be a burden to our team?” Although she scored moderately in her physics

class, she was still far behind in qualifying to join a physics competition. “Don’t worry,” said Sophie

firmly. She was not too bothered about winning or losing the competition. “Ysabelle, you have nothing

to worry about. With Sophie and I on your team, we won’t have any issues,” Bailey comforted Ysabelle.

Truth be told, he was confident in winning the physics competition. “Okay,” Ysabelle answered.

Although she refused to admit it, she must say Sophie and Bailey did look like a power couple at that

moment. But then, if Sophie falls for Bailey after this, what about Uncle Tristan?

No way. Bailey may be the campus hunk of Jipsdale Premier High, but he’s nothing compared to Uncle

Tristan! While they were eating, a beautiful young lady walked over to them and handed Bailey a card.

“Hi there, I am Mavis Sykes. This is my number. Can we be friends?” Mavis asked with a shy look, her

ears flushed. Upon witnessing that scene, Ysabelle grew delighted. It seems like I don’t have to do

anything after all! Bailey is attracting enough ladies on his own. “You certainly surprised me, Bailey.

You’ve done nothing, but girls are already lining up to get to know you! Your popularity with girls is

high!” she commented. However, Bailey did not even look at Mavis. “I am sorry, but I have someone I

like,” he answered directly. Mavis’ face turned pale instantly. She could not accept the fact that he

refused her so straightforwardly. “Bailey, I’ve heard you want to win the first prize in this competition, so

why don’t you join our team? You’ll only get a chance at being the champion if you join us!” Apparently,

she had done enough research to know how to lure Bailey over. “No, thanks. I will rely on nothing but

myself to get what I want, and if I’m not good enough to get it, I won’t force my way either.” “That’s not

what I meant. You know how important this training camp is. Since we are to compete in teams of

three, even if you’re smart, there’s no way for you to win the first prize if your teammates are

incompetent! But if you join my team, I am certain we’ll outshine the others.” Mavis was highly confident

in herself.
