My Dreamy Old Husband

The more Michael thought about his upcoming schedule for the reality show, the more he regretted signing up for it in the first place.

Upon their arrival at The Imperial, they received the warmest welcome the family had to offer.

Cooper and Linus stood by the entrance, along with Stanley, Justin and Celine. Relatives from both sides of the family were here—even the Michels showed up with words of congratulations. Sam was present as well and he had brought a homecoming gift for Carmen to congratulate her on starring in the reality show.

Michael, Sophia and Carmen made quite an entrance with a piglet and a rooster in tow. Harry, on the other hand, had only Ashton in his care.

Michael’s expression looked sour despite the occasion. It was hard for him to muster even an ounce of a smile, especially when there was a diapered piglet and rooster waddling in front of him.

Cooper, on the other hand, was in a terrific mood. Seeing Michael, he clapped a hand on his son-in-law’s shoulder and said, “You didn’t do too badly.”

Cooper had dispatched countless men and drones to spy on his precious little granddaughter, so he had managed to see everything that had taken place throughout the three days during which the episode was filmed.

His old son-in-law had done fairly well throughout the process but that was likely because all the other dads were completely hopeless by comparison, thereby magnifying Michael’s babysitting skills.

The shot of Michael carrying the piglet, in particular, had become an international sensation.

After all, it was a photo that captured the very essence of fatherhood!

It was not merely a pig that Michael had carried on his shoulders, but the sacred responsibilities that came with being a father!

Michael grew slightly cheerful upon being praised by his father-in-law.

As everyone adjourned to the living room, Sophia began distributing the truckful of village specialties that she had bought as souvenirs.

It was nightfall by the time the last of the guests departed. When Sophia was done with her dinner and had taken a shower, she switched on the news.

The team behind the reality show had only released a couple of teaser clips on their official channel, but there was no doubt that this season would see solid viewership ratings as it continued to gain traction among the fans.
