Everyone present was shocked, including myself.
Why did he co...?
Dexter was dressed smartly today. He seed to have put so thought into his appearance.
He was already good-looking, but now he looked like the male lead of a movie.
"You..." Kelvin appeared stunned by Dexter’s appearance. He asked nervously, "Who are you?"
No one had seen Dexter in this state, so they didn’t recognize him.
Dexter walked to my side. He tugged at my wrist and pulled into his embrace. His laugh was maniacal and provocative. "I’m her husband."
His response could kill Kelvin in a second.
Kelvin gulped fearfully and shifted his gaze from Dexter to Ann.
Ann was stunned too. She surveyed the people around her.
"Dexter? He’s Dexter Black? That’s not right. Didn’t they say he’s a psycho?"
"That’s what I heard. How is he so good-looking? Wow... He looks better than a movie star."
Those classmates started to murmur quietly.
I glanced at the class monitor, Howard. He hid himself behind the crowd once he saw Dexter.
Why was he hiding? He must be afraid of Dexter.
"I’m sorry, my husband was sick a few days ago. He didn’t plan to co, but he decided to accompany here to see you."
I stepped forward to explain to Miranda.
Miranda looked at with relief. Her eyes were red as she nodded. "Good, good. I feel so relieved to see you doing so well now, Sofia."
Dexter took my hand and walked to Miranda. He resud his well-behaved self. "Please take a good rest. You’ll get well soon."
"What a good man." Miranda looked at Dexter excitedly and happily. "He’s so handso. You and Sofia are a match made in heaven."
Dexter gazed at deeply and smiled.
I felt montarily dazed.
Which... Which was the real him?
"That’s not possible... He can’t be Dexter Black!" Kelvin was obviously unhappy to be embarrassed.
He was supposed to be the star of the reunion. Unfortunately, Dexter’s arrival had captured everyone’s attention.
Even Ann seed impressed by Dexter.
Of course, he’d hate to have his lilight stolen.
I raised my eyebrows as I observed Kelvin and Ann.
Ann was staring dumbfounded at Dexter. She was probably feeling regretful that she wasn’t the one who married into the Blacks.
I sneered. It was too late for regrets now.
"If I’m not Dexter, who is? You?" Dexter growled as he shielded behind him.
I raised my head to look at him. Even though I was just a puppet to him, a substitute for Sophia, I still enjoyed feeling protected.
Before my death, I had wished that Damien would protect and give a ho one day.
Unfortunately, he couldn’t give any of that.
"Hmph, you’ve invested a lot to attend this reunion, Sofia. Everyone knows that Dexter Black is a dimwit, a psycho. You should’ve found soone who can play the role better. He can’t be Dexter Black."
Kelvin sneered. "I’ve been to the Blacks’ place, and I’ve seen Dexter Black. He’s just a dirty crazy dimwit."
"That’s right, Sofia. How could you get soone to pretend to be your husband?" the other people chid in.
I scoffed. "He’s my husband. Do I need you to help identify him? What a joke."
"What is this ruckus about?" Another bunch of people entered through the door.
I frowned. I was imdiately wary as my fingers dug into Dexter’s arm.
Those were not Sofia’s classmates. They were Miranda’s students from Damien’s batch.
Juliet and Damien were students of Miranda.
That was before my parents died in the car accident. When they were in school, I hadn’t t them or transferred there.
When I transferred to Damien’s school, he had already graduated.
"Mrs. Miranda." Damien walked to Miranda with a gift in his hand.
Miranda said happily, "I didn’t think you’d co."
Juliet’s hand was on Damien’s arm.
Damien was behaving indifferently, but Juliet looked happy and blissful.
Perhaps her pregnancy had progressed, or maybe Juliet was acting out. It had only been a few months, but Juliet looked very pregnant.
Damien and Juliet did not look at Dexter and at all.
Dexter saw that I was staring at Damien. He gradually tightened his grip on .
I suddenly felt scared. When he got crazy, his possessiveness could be terrifying.
He seed keen to label as his, just like what Damien had done.
"Damien must know Dexter Black. Sofia brought an actor with her today, insisting that he’s Dexter. Damien, take a look and see if he’s a fake." A woman went up to flirt with Damien.
At this point, Damien turned to look at Dexter and .
Frowning, I looked back warily at Damien.
He just took a quick distant glance at while removing his arm from Juliet. "I’ve never seen Dexter Black. I don’t know him."
Scoffing, I looked at Juliet. "Mr. Coleman, is this your fiancée?"
Damien stayed silent and unresponsive.
Juliet answered quickly and anxiously, "Yes, we’ve had our wedding ceremony."
I asked puzzledly, "Are you Sophia?"
Juliet’s face fell imdiately as she panicked. "What are you talking about..."
I sneered. "I must have been mistaken. I heard that Mrs. Coleman was the one who arranged Damien’s marriage. Apparently, his fiancée’s na is Sophia?"
Damien frowned and stared at . He seed to be blaming for stirring up trouble.
That was my intention. "Mr. Coleman, where’s Sophia, your fiancée?"
Dexter held his hand to check on . I wasn’t sure if it was my imagination, but I thought I saw him smile in a nacing manner.
It felt strange, but I couldn’t pinpoint why.
"Juliet, why are you bringing up all this miserable stuff? Everyone in Huma knows that Damien only saw Sophia as a sister. Moreover, she was killed by a serial murderer. You..."
Ann wanted to impress Damien. She thought Damien hated Sophia. But before Ann could finish, Damien turned and stared at her murderously.
This frightened Ann, but she still tried to appeal to Juliet. "Anyway, Sophia had a bad reputation. The murderer must have been on to her for a while."
"What’s your na?" Damien asked sternly.
Ann thought she’d managed to please Damien. She smiled as she said, "I’m Ann Miller..."
"Do the Millers want to disappear from Huma?" Damien’s presence was terrifying.
"Ah, it’s so good that you ca too. Co, co. Take a seat." Howard, the class monitor, saw that things were getting out of control. He gave up on hiding and rushed forward to coax Damien. "Ann is too outspoken. Please forgive her."
Howard looked at Ann with displeasure. "Sophia was a nice woman."
He seed to know the old . He also seed sincere in defending .
But I didn’t rember having any interactions with anyone from the orphanage.
I instinctively turned to look at Dexter. His gaze was also on Howard, but it was so intense it could burn a hole.
