Chapter 89 - 89: Sophia Was Speechless

Sophia had to follow up. When they reached the guard's room at the entrance to the community, the guard came forward to stop them.

The number of households in this upscale community was not large, and the doorman remembered the appearance of each household. Seeing the unfamiliar faces, he just stopped them to ask.

"I'm looking for Mr. Watson!" Sophia said, "He lives in Room 318 on the fifth floor of Building D!"

The guard called Watson and allowed them in after getting his approval.

Albert went ahead without saying a word. Later, they stopped at the door of Building D. He looked back at Sophia and said, "You make the call."

There was a telephone downstairs. Sophia called Watson and asked him to open the door. Then they walked into the building.

There was an elevator near the door. Sophia was about to walk towards the elevator when she saw Albert turning to the staircase on one side.

She startled for a moment, followed up, and asked him, "There is an elevator. Why do you take the stairs?"

Although the fifth floor wasn't very high, it was quite tiring to climb up.

Pearson didn't answer her. He just walked up step by step. Sophia had no choice but to follow him to the fifth floor. Although she was in good physical condition, she felt a little tired.

Watson had opened the door and was waiting in the doorway. Seeing Sophia, he smiled warmly and said, "Hello, Miss Green!"

He also noticed Albert next to Sophia and greeted him, warmly, "Nice to meet you, sir!"

Sophia introduced him to Watson, "This is my friend, Mr. Pearson. Mr. Pearson, this is…"

"Mr. Mitch Watson?" Albert stared at Watson.

"Yes, I am. Nice to meet you!" Watson laughed.

He was the world chess champion. His fans were all over the world. It was very common for him to be recognized by others, and he had long been used to it.

Albert and Sophia entered together, changed slippers, and walked into the living room.

Before Sophia could sit down, she saw Mitch running out of the room and jumping at her.

She came up, squatted down, and hugged him, "I miss you, Mitch!"

He barked twice and buried his head in her bosom, rubbing around. It looked very intimate.

Albert Pearson stood aside, wondering, "Mitch? The dog is named Grandpa on microblogs, is it him?"

"Yeah. Do you also read microblog, Mr. Pearson?" Sophia said casually.

"Then… you are the blogger, Knowing A Person, right?" Pearson said slowly, standing behind her.

"Yeah." Sophia nodded and scratched Mitch's head for a while before loosening him.

She took off her backpack and took out the box of little jerky given by Delgado from the bag. Then she went to the corner to take Mitch's plate and poured the little jerky into it.

She did not notice that Albert was staring at her with some complicated feelings in his eyes.

Sophia had thought Mitch would be happy to see the little jerky he loved. However, Mitch just ate some and stopped eating.

On closer inspection, Sophia noticed that, though it was only two or three days since Mitch left her, he seemed to... expanded a little bit.

She looked back at Watson and asked, "What did you feed him?"

He was so picky that he did not love little jerky anymore. And he was even… fatter!

She had worked so hard to keep Mitch in shape! Was that going to be destroyed?

Watson smiled and said, "Nothing. I have been studying local food recently, so I buy a lot of delicious food to eat. Sometimes, I eat it myself. Sometimes, I share it with friends. When I can't finish eating, I will pack them all back and feed Mitch. If he can't finish eating, I will feed the stray dogs around."

Sophia was stunned.

If she came a few days late, would Mitch be a ball?

"Well, do you walk him at night?" Sophia asked.

Watson was a little embarrassed, "About that… Well, I don't know the way. Sometimes I go out and… I can't come back. So…"

Sophia was speechless.

Mitch ate casually with Watson without doing exercise. It was not a good thing for a Grandpa!

Albert asked Watson, "Do you play chess together?"

Watson nodded, "Yes, Sophia's chess skills are good. I can't even beat her! But she doesn't seem to like playing chess very much. What a pity! I've always wanted to invite her to be a professional chess player!"

Albert looked to Sophia, who was playing with Mitch. Both the girl and the dog were quite happy. She looked as lovely as a little girl.

With a faint smile on his lips, he turned to the sofa and sat down and looked at her quietly.

Suddenly, Watson said, "Oh, I haven't asked you yet. What do you want to drink? Oh… I just have coffee and cake… Oh, that's rude."

Sophia didn't even look back, "Water is fine."

Watson turned to Albert and asked, "Mr. Pearson…"

"Water, please."

Watson sighed and went to the kitchen to boil water. He had no habit of drinking boiled water. He drank only mineral water and drinks. So, he never boiled water. Fortunately, the rented room had all kinds of facilities. And there was a kettle in the kitchen.

Sophia played with Mitch for a while before noticing that Albert was looking at her. She hesitated and said, "Well, Mr. Pearson. How about… I have Mitch play with you for a while?"

"No, thanks!" Answered Albert.

Sophia thought Albert liked to put on airs recently. He had been staring at her for such a long time. Obviously, he liked Mitch... Was he embarrassed to play with Mitch?

How unnecessary that was! She won't look down at him.

After a while, Watson came into the living room with a large pot of boiled water. He took out two cups and poured two cups of water on the coffee table.

Sophia was speechless. She should have reminded him that since he didn't drink water, he didn't have to boil so much. What an honest foreigner.. He just boiled as much water as the kettle could be contained.
