My Dreamy Old Husband

Entering the place where she once lived, Sophia fell deep into her thoughts. I was born in the suburbs of Riverdale. Later on, I was accepted into Riverdale High School. I had lived in Riverdale for eighteen years, but after Joe took me away, I’d never returned here.

I have too many things buried here…

Without realizing, the car came to a stop. The car door opened, and Nathan was the first to jump out of the car. His anti-skid lined boots made small footprints all over the snow-covered ground. Once he got out of the car, he immediately saw a grand house, and so his eyes popped wide open in surprise.

Sophia got out of the car behind Michael. He held her pink gloved-hand in his large warm palm. With her small hand in his, he took a couple of steps forward.

“Isn’t this the Harpers’ house?”

The Harper’s Mansion was extremely recognizable because it had an elegant and classic Cethosian garden. It preserved its style from two hundred years ago. Although the mansion had been constantly renovated and had expanded over the years, its architecture style had never changed. The main architecture structure of the building maintained its appearance from when it was built, and so it could be considered as a cultural relic.

Why is he taking me here to the Harper’s Mansion for no good reason?

Upon seeing the Harper’s Mansion, Sophia recalled some bad memories. Once upon a time, when I was out of options and came to the Harpers for help, Richard refused to see me. I couldn’t even enter the mansion. They beat me up before tossing me out.

At that time, if Richard had been willing to trust me, even a little, my life might have changed.

However, if Richard had been willing to help me at that time, I might not have been able to meet Michael.

Maybe the first half of my life was painful and full of suffering because I was gathering my luck to meet Michael.

Michael stood behind her, and he suddenly patted her shoulder. “The Harpers sold the Harper’s Mansion to get Kayla out of jail. It belongs to you now.”

It has exceptional research value, and this has always been the pride of the Harper Family! They put this above their lives, so how could they possibly sell it off so easily? But if Michael said it, the credibility is 100%. After all, he is the person who bought
