My Dreamy Old Husband

Satisfied, Michael watched through the surveillance camera as Sophia counted the money in a way that looked very adorable.

His pretty, young wife seemed very greedy for money. Even on the rare occasion where they went outdoors to have some fun, she wouldn’t play anything other than ring toss. Not only that, she even did everything she possibly could to rent out the ring he had bought for her in exchange for money.

However, he knew that her greed for money stemmed from her feelings of insecurity. Behind her avaricious facade, she was actually a little girl who was very easy to please…

Sophia had wanted to take a stroll in her holiday estate after having breakfast. She wanted to watch the snow and the plum blossoms or even ask Michael to dinner or movies with perfect composure. Since it was the New Year celebrations, they did not have much to do; Michael was at home as well.

However, as soon as she finished her breakfast, the cell phone she had prepared expressly for the championship rang before she could even change out of her pajamas.

When the cell phone rang, Sophia knew that Stanley must be the one calling to get her online and play games. Just as she expected, she heard Stanley’s exasperated voice as soon as she answered the phone. “Where the hell have you been, Sirius? Time to get online and play games! The selection trials will begin in a few days; do you want our team to be excluded from the selection trials?”

She curled her lips and hung up the phone. Then, she went upstairs into Nate’s room to play some games with a fruit platter in hand.

Nathan knew that she would be competing in the esports championship these days. Not only did he stop bothering her, he even let her use his study so that she could concentrate on playing games.

Having upgraded her computer, keyboard, and even the internet speed expressly for the championship, Sophia quickly immersed herself in the online game at home.

Soon after she had logged into the game, Michael entered the study and reached behind her. He asked curiously, “I heard that you’re going to compete in an online gaming competition, my chica?”

Afraid that he might have misunderstood something, Sophia immediately answered, “Yeah, I joined the strongest team on our server. The selection trials will begin in two days. Once we pass the selection trials, I’ll be able to enter the Esports World Championship’s finals. By then, I’ll be winning glory for our home country!”
