My Dreamy Old Husband

When he saw that face, Michael felt his heart jump into his throat. As he stared blankly at that face that until now only existed in his deepest memories, it was as if he had forgotten to breathe or speak.

“Who are you—” He took a few steps back in fear. When he spoke, his voice sounded shaky and he could feel his teeth chatter. In addition to that, his entire body was trembling from the overwhelming emotions.

‘Theo’ didn’t speak, nor did he even bat an eyelid. Instead, he was just staring blankly ahead. If not for the heaving in his chest and the occasional blinks, he would have been mistaken for a statue.

This is my father, Theo Fletcher?

A person whom he believed to have been dead for almost forty years, was sitting right before him without even the slightest sign of old age?

“No, you’re not my father!” Michael couldn’t accept it at all and slowly backed away.

His mother had taken her own life because she loved him, and yet he was still alive?

Michael didn’t remember much about his father. He was a soldier, while Elizabeth Murray was a celebrity. At that time, their relationship had to be kept private. Not only did the Fletcher Family disapprove of them, but Elizabeth was also at the peak of her career which did not allow her to marry and have children either.

What was more, they did not even have a marriage certificate.

Since Theo was always away, they hardly met each other. In fact, they spent more time away from each other than together. Naturally, Michael was never close to his father.

Those days, there were countless famous and powerful people pursuing Elizabeth—people who were much more powerful than Theo. Despite that, she only had eyes for him. Even though there were many obstacles she had to overcome when she was with him, she persisted for years, hoping for a miracle.
