My Dreamy Old Husband

Michael’s expression darkened, but he maintained a poker face when he chased Stanley out of the house. “It’s getting late. You should get going now!”

The Imperial wasn’t too far away from the military compound, and so Stanley would be able to get home by taking a bus.

Michael checked his reflection in the mirror when he walked into the house while mumbling to himself, “Illegitimate daughter, my foot…”

The character Michael was playing had fallen into a desperate situation in the show, so he deliberately left the stubble along his jaw without shaving it off just to make himself look haggard. Therefore, in comparison, he could tell the vast contrast when he returned home to see his young and delicate ‘child bride’, who looked as pretty as a flower…

She had a pair of earphones on, and her laptop was turned on too. She was playing the lecture from the Further Mathematics class.

Lately, there had been a rise in live broadcast. Even Bayside University lecturers would do some live broadcast to give lectures when they had the time. Sophia had been watching these live broadcasts and online tutorials at home for the past few days to make up for the lessons she missed.

Seeing as Sophia was studying so seriously, Michael didn’t want to bother her.

Suddenly, the phone Sophia left by the bed rang, but she didn’t hear it. Nathan heard the ringtone, and so he turned around to check. Coincidentally, he saw Michael sneaking in to take Sophia’s phone away. Nevertheless, Nathan remained silent, and he continued with his homework, as if nothing out of the ordinary happened.

Michael took the phone away to answer it outside of the room. He glanced at the caller ID on the screen. Richard Harper.

Mother almost fainted after learning that we are losing our ancestral home. Therefore, Sophia, if you can, please get the ancestral home back for me, can you? I am sure you can. As long as you put in more effort when you’re with Joel. As long as he says the word, anything is possible. But you shouldn’t worry and don’t feel pressured because I don’t mind such things. No matter what happens, you are still the purest girl in my heart. Once my sister’s affairs are in order and we get our ancestral home back, I’ll take you to meet my mother officially. Although she is unhappy that you didn’t manage to preserve the Harpers’ ancestral home, she will have nothing to say as
