My Dreamy Old Husband

Sophia asked Linus, “Uncle Linus, what are they doing? What’s that red-colored thing?”

“That’s called a New Year’s greeting. Those you were looking at are red packets; there’s money in them. When someone comes over to wish you Happy New Year, you have to give them red packets,” explained Linus.

Sophia saw the little girl coming over toward their unit. She anxiously asked, “What should I do now? I don’t have any red packets!”

Linus was well prepared, and he assured her, “Don’t worry. I have some ready.”

“Happy New Year! May you be blessed with prosperity!” greeted the little girl in her sweetest voice as she shamelessly reached out to Sophia with open palms.

Sophia placed a red packet into her hands and replied, “Happy New Year to you too.”

The little girl got what she was after and was about to leave. Sophia subconsciously wanted to stall her but struggled to conjure any excuse at such short notice. She was also aware of the teenager whose cold, wary gaze had never left her since they arrived.

Linus suddenly appeared at the door and offered a friendly welcome. “Aren’t you Nate? My, my, you’ve grown so much!”

At the sight of Linus, the teenager’s solemn facade melted into a genuine smile. “Uncle Linus, you’re here!” It had been three years since they last met, but Nathan never forgot about Linus, the coolest man in his life—the man who gave him Nicholas.

“Good lad, you’ve grown so tall. Come in and have a seat!” invited Linus.

Nathan brought Carmen into the house while an elated Sophia trod behind. The little girl got in and helped herself to a seat on the couch. As she looked around the hall, she noticed Sophia’s Shae, so she asked curiously, “Is there a Nicholas in your house too?”
