My Dreamy Old Husband

The sky had turned dark as Sophia was playing chess at the military compound. It was already nine o’clock when the old man was finally convinced. He let Sophia go and agreed for another game on the next day.

After the game, the old man instructed Stanley, “Stan, it’s dark now. Quickly, send them home!”

Stanley was happy to take the order. The three walked out of the military compound, with Stanley limping all the way.

Stanley was actively trying to get close to Sophia and thought of various topics to talk about.

“Are you coming to see me at my competition or not?”

“I am going to Deutsche to look for the world’s best keyboard manufacturer to customize two keyboards. Do you want one? I can find the best designer to design one for you!”

Sophia maintained her usual cold attitude and replied curtly, “No, thanks. I don’t feel like going, and I don’t need it.”

As they walked to the compound gate, they saw a car stopped at the door. Joel and Irene were getting out of the car. They seemed to have just come home from a date, and they were dressed formally. The man was really handsome and the woman was really beautiful; they were a perfect match. Irene was holding a bouquet of roses which complemented her delicate features.

However, Joel had a straight face as usual. His expression was constantly frosty regardless of his emotions, happy or sad.

Upon seeing Joel and Irene, Stanley greeted them affectionately. “Hey! Uncle, Irene! I thought you went dating? Why are you home so soon?”

Irene covered her mouth and smiled. Her delicate skin was extremely smooth and flawless, while the healthy glow on her complexion only added to her beauty. “We’re an old couple now. What do you mean dating? We only went out for a meal and came back afterward.”

Joel did not speak as he walked forward.

Sophia greeted them. “Good evening, General, Mrs. Fletcher!”

Joel nodded at Sophia.

Sophia’s face was undisguisable; even Stanley, who was insensitive, could tell that. So, he said regretfully, “Sophia, I know you have a crush on my uncle. Who doesn’t? Even I have a crush on him!
