My Dreamy Old Husband

Michael felt his heart start to race. Taking out his phone, he tried calling Sophia.

During this time, Sophia was going down to the basement with Celine. When she received his call, she answered, “Hubby, I’m in the basement with Cece. She says there are more things to look at here.”

While he was still on the phone, Michael rushed down to the basement. He could not bear losing Sophia from his sight for even a moment now.

Because the elevators were full, he ran down the stairs from the fifth floor.

“Where are you? Don’t move. I’ll be right there,” he exhorted.

On the other end of the call, Sophia replied, “Okay, I—”

She stopped talking all of a sudden, making Michael’s heart skip a beat. Before he could ask her what happened, he heard her terrified scream through the phone.

“Ah!!”

Then, the phone fell to the ground and her voice was cut off.

Michael stopped in his tracks for a moment as shock washed over him. When he and Justin looked at each other, they saw the grave look in each other’s eyes and they immediately ran to the basement.

“Hale, seal off the whole mall! Quick!” Justin shouted an order to Hale who was behind him. Hale also seemed to have caught on and quickly went to do as he was told. He had to close down the whole building in the shortest amount of time possible.

But, at that very moment, an unexpected announcement was made throughout the whole mall. “Academy Award winner, Taylor Murray, is at a maternity store with his wife!”

Tons of fans poured into the mall like tidal waves and occupied all the stairs, elevators, and escalators. They kept rushing in from the ground floor all the way to the fifth floor—it looked like a zombie apocalypse.

It also frightened the workers at the store. They were a chain store that sold top-grade maternity and childcare products. Normally, they also saw their fair share of celebrities. Their confidentiality measures were taken very seriously and celebrities always entered through a special entrance.

Justin and Gary were trying to block the fans off from in front of and behind him but it was all in vain. Multiple hands kept reaching out to touch him.
