My Dreamy Old Husband

Upon recalling his face, Carmen could not help but tear up again. I recall that when I was a child, no matter what nonsense I wanted, how naïve I was, or the illogical thoughts I had, Mom and Dad would always support me. I even scheduled some horrible stage plays for them to watch. Each time, Dad would watch it solemnly before providing some constructive criticism to me. Whenever he needs to attend the Parent Association conferences, he would always wear my favorite costume to present himself as my favorite character.

He has given me a perfect childhood and he is the best father in the world! Unfortunately… Before I was 6 years old, I used to have a happy childhood because I had both Mom and Dad. I had a perfect and complete family. After turning 6years old, I still had a perfect family, but Dad is missing.

Her phone suddenly vibrated and she answered the call happily. True enough, it was Flynn, but he had a cautious tone with an echo in the background. It sounded like a vast space and he was most probably phoning her in secret from the washroom.

“Carmen, you have to trust me. There’s nothing going on between Kimberly and I. It’s just wishful thinking from her side. The elderlies of the Stafford Family issued an invitation for a meal. They invited an important figure and our family needs me to meet with that important person. Carmen, I truly do not have a choice. I have to be with Kimberly in order to be acquainted with people of importance. The person has a significant status—do you know Adams Group, the king of international insurance?

Recently, the director of Adams Group is in Bayside City. I only have this chance to meet him. If I miss this opportunity, I won’t have a second chance to meet someone important like him for the rest of my life. This is why it is a rare opportunity for me! Carmen, you have to trust me that there’s nothing going on between Kimberly and I! I only love you! Have you forgotten about our dreams and promises?”

Somehow, Carmen was especially calm at that moment. In fact, she had to fight the urge to burst out in laughter.

She could not even hear what he said because she was focused on the memory of him holding hands with Kimberly while they were fooling around earlier. I finally understand why Poppy hates men so much. It is true that men are all id*ots. Without looking through the rose-tinted glasses that one calls love, I suddenly feel that Flynn is nothing like Dad. Flynn doesn’t even look like him. It’s an insult to Dad for someone like Flynn to even remotely resemble him! Flynn is a piece of trash and it can’t even be compared to Dad’s sh*t.

“I’m hanging up.” Carmen hung up on the call without waiting for Flynn to finish his words. Then, she stood up abruptly while addressing Poppy. “Take the dog home; I’m headed to the cybercafé.”

Poppy was shocked when she heard that. “We are still underage, so we can’t enter cybercafés!”
