My Dreamy Old Husband

Even Casper himself wasn’t exempt from being the recipient of Cooper’s death stare after he’d noticed him visiting a few times. Thereafter, he was intimidated and gradually dared not go to Carmen’s house anymore since he had to avoid Cooper every single time. Bailey, however, was different. He ignored Cooper’s death stare and went to Carmen’s house as he liked whenever he had time, always going over to look for her blatantly. Besides, he even dared ask Carmen out right in front of Cooper, which was something Casper didn’t even dare contemplate. After all, he was afraid of being mauled by Chow and Eggplant!

Not just anyone could withstand Cooper’s death stare; the few boys who used to visit Carmen’s house often were also terror-stricken by Cooper’s stare, and even Hope who lived next door didn’t dare go over if there wasn’t anything pressing.

Hence, Casper couldn’t do anything despite seeing Bailey coming over frequently to ask Carmen out.

Bailey was also a very conscientious person. Every time he took Carmen out, he always drove her home on time without spending the night with her or even holding hands. He kept track of the time very well each time, giving Cooper no excuse to blow up that he could only shoot him the death stare. No, in his eyes, it was merely a helpless look.

In the summer, Sophia planned to take the entire family for a vacation; Cooper, Anna, and the others would also be joining. When Sophia asked Bailey over for dinner, she casually noted, “Bailey, we’re all going for a vacation. Are you interested in joining us?”

Carmen who was eating perked up her ears as well. She initially thought that Bailey wouldn’t be interested, but to her surprise, he instantly agreed. “Sure! It just so happens that I’m thinking of going for a vacation as well.”

Thus, Bailey packed a simple suitcase under Cooper’s death glare and overtly went for a vacation with the entire family as the invisible old son-in-law.

Hugging her books to her chest, she walked toward the university gates. It feels great without bodyguards following me 24/7 and everyone turning their gazes on me everywhere I go! I’m just an ordinary student who doesn’t even garner a second glance now even as I stroll around campus. Even the air feels sweeter with a hint of freedom. I like this feeling! “I don’t feel like eating anything since I got braces,”

I thought she’d disappear from Flynn’s life forever, but never had I thought that Flynn still remembers her and is even asking about her here at Bayside University! Carmen Fletcher, Carmen Fletcher, Carmen Fletcher! That’s all
