My Dreamy Old Husband

It looks like Michael’s still the one who understands me the best, Sophia thought as she sat next to Michael, rubbing her cat and watching him talk.

No matter how I look at him, he still looks so good because I love him—he even has so many suggestions!

Michael said, “I’ll introduce you to several reliable fertilizer factories; let’s go together when we have the time and see if we can work something out with them.”

“Sure! Indeed, my hubby has the most ideas!” Sophia smiled.

Excited, Sophia exclaimed and said, “Alright! We’ll go together!”

Meanwhile, Cooper and Linus were speechless. Michael is supposed to be an internationally renowned movie star—why does he know these kinds of people?!

Michael had taken some time off from work to see Sophia and Carmen; since Sophia wanted to survey Dragon Eye’s situation in the countryside, Michael trailed along happily. Cooper joined in as well because he wanted to know if his beloved daughter was walking down the right path.

They couldn’t go very far because of their tight schedules, so Sophia decided to visit the suburbs of Riverdale City first—the place where she grew up. Michael also took the opportunity to leave behind clues in Riverdale so that Cooper would notice them and locate his son!

The group went over to the tractor and fertilizer factory introduced by Michael first; after visiting the actual site, they decided to sign a working contract. After the factory visit, Michael took Sophia to Riverdale City to visit the place where she used to grow up.

Riverdale City had developed well over the years; just like any typical drama, they managed to turn the place into a tourist spot. Since this was Sophia’s home, Michael had also invested in several resorts and clothing factories to boost the town’s economy; he even built a highway and a railway here.

The town’s authorized Dragon Eye retail store was still under renovation, but Dragon Eye posters were everywhere to be seen—Cooper was speechless when he noticed an entire wall of cheesy advertisements about it.

“The Dragon Eye phone is the treasure of the village!”

“The latest agricultural news with the Dragon Eye in your hand!”
