My Dreamy Old Husband

Irene’s fury was thrown back in her face with those words. Her shoddy acting could fool nobody except herself. She was simply a prey. Hunters were only concerned about where she would end up, not how she had been caught. In the hunting game back then, she was the prize Michael and Joel had been fighting for.

What they cared about the most was her final destination—it didn’t matter why she chose who she did. Still, that did not mean that Michael was a fool or that he had not noticed the clues. However, everybody else was playing dumb. If he pretended to be smart all by himself, then wouldn’t he have become the real fool?

Joel took the snacks and left. Watching as he threw her aside callously to go on another hunt, her heart pounded with hatred. At the same time, she felt relieved. She had long lost all hope and illusions about him. Thus, separation was the best choice. I’m going to snatch Michael back! But, I can’t just return like that. I need to find a suitable opportunity! I can’t wait any longer. I need to return to Michael’s side as soon as possible! As for Sophia… Haha; she is nothing more than a substitute anyway. The only reason she can stay by Michael’s side is that she is young and pretty. Men always have a soft spot for women in their twenties. However, those feelings are only skin deep. As for me… I’m the only one that is buried deep in Michael’s heart forever.

Sophia fled all the way back. When she arrived at her room, her heart was still pounding wildly. Suddenly, she heard a knock on the door. Thus, she hurriedly escaped into the bathroom. In the meantime, Nathan opened the door and saw Joel standing outside. He lifted his head to stare at Joel. Similarly, Joel lowered his head to stare at Nathan.

Receiving the snacks from him, Nathan closed the door, placed the snacks on the table, and continued playing his game. Meanwhile, Sophia continued hiding in the toilet for a long while before she dared to step out of it. Even then, her heart was still thumping madly. Joel is way too terrifying! It feels like I can barely breathe whenever I stand before him.

That night, Sophia tossed and turned—she was unable to fall asleep. On the other hand, Nathan was sleeping like a log beside her. Chrysanthemum was making rustling noises in the room as it rummaged through the stuff and stole some potato chips. The sounds left Sophia even more awake than before. Thus, she took out her phone and went through her contacts. However, there was nobody she could call. After that, she logged into Messenger and stared at Michael’s profile picture for a long time. In the end, she said nothing to him and tapped into the chat with Nicholas instead. ‘Nicholas, I can’t sleep. Can you tell me some jokes?’

Then, Nicholas immediately sent her joke after joke.
