My Dreamy Old Husband

Sophia was chauffeured over to the mysterious Fletcher Residence.

The Fletcher Family was huge; even though the family had split into several branch families, Stanley’s branch was one of the most important ones.

In reality, Sophia was feeling rather excited. There was a good chance that she would get to lay eyes on many notable people at Bayside City’s military compound such as Old Master Fletcher, who was Fletcher’s patriarch.

Old Master Fletcher was one of the nation’s founding fathers, and his name was known across the nation. He had many children throughout his life as well. Back in the nation’s early days, the country had lost many of its population to war; when the nation called for families to procreate, the man sired four sons and three daughters.

Old Master Fletcher was one of those people that even children knew. Over a hundred shows and movies were made about his life, so Sophia had already gotten used to the Old Master Fletcher that was portrayed on screen. It would be great if she could see the actual person in the flesh!

She just didn’t know whether he was still healthy enough for visits.

Sophia had studied all about Old Master Fletcher’s deeds every day in history class back in high school. He had a major hand in shaping the country as it was today, and he was also one of the ten generals in the nation. He was a loyal and heroic man, and his achievements were part of the nation’s high school history syllabus.

They were only allowed to enter the military compound if they had a permit, so Stanley sent someone beforehand to receive them. The car entered the compound, driving for a while more before reaching Stanley’s home.

The Fletcher Residence was located in a special area of the compound; the entire family lived here, having their own swathe of homes. Stanley’s own house was a bungalow, and they proceeded to park their car in Stanley’s garage.

Sophia took Nathan’s hand in her own and entered the Fletcher Residence with a thermal container in another hand.

Stanley’s house wasn’t luxurious in an extravagant manner; it still maintained a style that was in vogue a few decades ago. The house oozed a homey feeling that also felt like it was from years past, and photo frames hung on the yellowing walls. There were pictures of the Fletchers as well as a family portrait.

Sophia gazed at the family portrait, but she couldn’t spot Michael anywhere. However, both Joel and Stanley were in the picture.
