My Dreamy Old Husband

All of a sudden, the robot said, “Dad, Mom and Nathan are home.”

Michael instructed, “Turn off the news.”

The channel switched back to the cartoons from before.

When Sophia came back with different bags of things, she saw Michael and the robot sitting together on the sofa watching cartoons. She put down what she was carrying and called, “Nicholas!”

Michael watched the robot rush off happily and even gladly helped Sophia bring the things inside. That is one clever robot. Michael had goosebumps all over.

He remembered the time when Xyla placed a toy to spy on them in their house. The robot in front of him now was way more intelligent than that toy back then. If Linus implanted something inside this robot… But, this robot is very intelligent. It knows how to cheer Sophia up everyday. I can’t bear to throw it away. How frustrating!

Every time Sophia came back from Linus’ place, she would come home with all those bags as though she had inappropriately acquired them. For example, the window panes of the French windows she cherished so dearly. She finally got them from Linus’ place today. Not to mention, he also sent someone over to install it for her.

After the new windows were put in place and they went to look out of it, it was a completely different view. One moment it was the deep underwater world, then in the next moment, it was a windy desert. Next, it was a tropical rainforest. Those were not simply still shots but actual scenes. It was a high definition transmission of the scenery being captured in real-time. It was real and spectacular, making them feel as though they were physically there.

Moreover, she also took the 3D projector in his bedroom and installed it in her own room. She lay down on the bed excitedly as she could not wait to try it out. When it turned on, it started projecting various sights. The ceiling was not just a ceiling anymore; it was a starry night sky. There was also a moon. She could even hear the sound of crickets right by her ear. Warm air brushed across her face and brought with it the scent of fresh grass. The sound, temperature, and visuals were all unbelievably convincing.

If she reached out, it was as if she could actually feel the fireflies dancing around her fingertips.

Apart from the stars, there were grasslands, beaches, and many other simulations. It felt like she was actually out camping. This is so surreal.

“I want to see fireworks! Fireworks!”

As soon as she said that, the projector started to display fireworks. The splendid fireworks made her so happy that she started rolling around on the bed.

“Shooting stars!”

Very quickly, shooting stars also started to appear. It felt so real as though it was truly right before her eyes.
