My Dreamy Old Husband

Warmth poured into Sophia’s heart in an instant. All of a sudden, her heart raced at an unusual speed.

There were many others with Michael—Hale and Gemma were there, as well as Joel and Stanley’s older brother, Caleb Fletcher.

Stanley, who had been heckling Sophia to get some compensation from the latter, turned incredibly meek and docile when he saw his two uncles looking at him. He looked like he was on the brink of death.

“Hey there, Uncle Michael and Uncle Joel; I would’ve been dead if you guys had come any later! I was this close to never seeing you again!”

He had brought a bag of fruits as he walked in and placed it by Stanley’s bedside. When he passed by Sophia, he stretched out a big hand to stroke her hair as a comforting gesture after her scare.

Sophia looked absolutely pitiful, but her terrified little heart seemingly mended itself in an instant when Michael stroked her hair.

Stanley was moved to the verge of tears when Michael placed the bag of fruits next to his bed. He grabbed onto Michael’s hand and said, “I want a pat on the head too, Uncle!”

Gemma had already explained last night’s situation to Michael in detail, so he already knew all about Stanley’s heroic deed. He hadn’t expected this kid to be so trustworthy when push came to shove. Giving a warm smile to Stanley as a sign of gratitude, the smile was as warm as a kind deity’s; Michael even obliged and patted Stanley’s head.

“You’ve always been a good boy in my eyes, Sundae Cone. You’re the pride of the Fletcher Family!” Michael complimented as he patted the younger man’s head.

Stanley was so moved that tears nearly escaped his eyes when he saw that the aloof uncle of his—whom he had worshipped since young—revealed an appreciative smile.

All his life, he had seen Michael and Joel as goals for him to work toward. Just like his uncles, Stanley worked hard to carve a place for himself without relying on his family.

However, he truly had no intention of joining the army. After two years of mandatory service, he gave up the chance of being promoted to an officer so that he could go to university and continue his love for esports.
