My Dreamy Old Husband

It was absolutely unnecessary for Sophia to make any guesses about all these men who came to visit her; it was rather obvious from the way they introduced themselves.

“How are you, Sophie? My name is Claude Fletcher and I’m twenty-six years old. I graduated from the Military Academy, an affiliated college of Bayside University. I serve in the army as a Lieutenant. I’m single and don’t have a girlfriend at the moment. I heard that you’re not feeling well, so I’ve come to visit you specially today.”

Early in the morning, another man from the Fletcher Family came to visit Sophia. He even brought her fruits and flowers.

Maria, who came to look after Sophia, took the fruits brought by Claude and placed them on a table at the side. The fruits on the table were piling up like a huge mountain; some of them were being kept in the fridge in the kitchen as well. Meanwhile, Nathan did his homework seriously on the table piled with fruits. He looked as if he wasn’t aware of Sophia’s visitor at all.

In front of her bed, a handsome man cladded in a military uniform sat upright in a proper manner and stared at her attentively.

It was obvious that Claude was the type of person who had experienced lots of great things; he looked calm and serious as he sat there properly in an upright position. While standing, he stood up straight, looking like a tall pine tree. His eyes were so sharp; when he stared at Sophia, they looked like a sharp sword. Although it was temporarily sheathed, menacing energy still emitted from the sword. It kept pricking Sophia as she sat on the bed, making her shiver uncontrollably. She could even feel pain in her bones when he stared at her like that.

The men from the Fletcher Family weren’t very good at chatting. After they introduced themselves, they would just stare at Sophia closely, waiting for her to come up with a subject and start the conversation.

Likewise, Claude sat there in an upright position today. He looked really serious and the atmosphere in the room was really awkward.

Sophia chuckled twice awkwardly as she tried to come up with a conversation starter. “Uh… today’s weather is really good, huh? Haha…”

“What are you having for lunch later…”

“Since the glaciers in Antarctica have been melting pretty quickly, it’s become imminent for them to save the habitat of polar bears there…”

After conversing in an awkward manner for a while, they exchanged contact numbers and befriended each other on Messenger before Claude finally left.

Glancing at him as Claude left the room and closed the door politely on his way out, Sophia was extremely relieved. She lay down on the bed and stared at the ceiling while thinking to herself, What exactly is going on here?

As soon as Claude left, Nathan scuttled over and asked curiously, “What do you think of Claude?”

Sophia answered, “He seems nice, just nice…”

Nathan pushed the door open and went out as he munched on some fruits.
