My Dreamy Old Husband novel Chapter 1026

Attached to the message was a snapshot. Sophia saw that a group of people had arrived at the Edwards Residence. They were blonde and blue-eyed; moreover, their blue eyes were especially blue. Looking at those blue eyes, she knew that they were bad news—the Michel Family was here!

Up until now, she had only come in contact with a small portion of the Michel Family. This family that had survived almost a thousand years was incredibly huge. Within it, there was also an existence equivalent to the elders’ council that set the rules within the clan, monitored the implementation of the rules, and so on. If her guess was correct, this group of people was sent by the elders’ council to check on Carmen’s household registration.

She knew that this day would come sooner or later. Besides, she had to face this matter at some point. She didn’t want to abandon the name of the Michel Family. It was a huge power—as one of the top families in the world, it owned a vast business empire. Why not fight for it if she had the ability? At the same time, she did not wish to give up on Michael either! Love and career; I want it all!

Making her decision, she prepared to return home. During this period, Michael had been rather elusive. She did not know what he was busy working on. However, he continued to personally escort her to and from her work as usual. He was here again today like clockwork. Hence, the two of them matched their stories during the drive home.

Upon arriving at home, more than a dozen pairs of blue eyes stared at Sophia, Michael, and Carmen coldly. The group consisted of both young and old men and women. Each of them was extraordinary, distinguished, and carried the Michel Family’s crest.

Cooper was feeling very troubled too. The matter regarding Carmen’s household registration was something they had to confront sooner or later. Although the Michel Family could tolerate him returning to Cethos and taking back the Mitchell Family in the name of Cooper Mitchell, they would never tolerate Sophia marrying into the Fletcher Family nor would they tolerate Carmen taking on the Fletcher surname. Carmen was part of the Michel Family—she was not allowed to take on any other surname!

Meanwhile, Carmen pretended to be drinking milk and did not talk to them.

As soon as Michael entered the house, he was targeted by the cold gazes coming from a dozen pairs of blue eyes. It was clear that they were aware of his identity as the Academy Award for Best Actor winner, Michael Fletcher, and Lucile’s husband. The reason for their arrival this time was to urge Michael to marry into the family and change his surname. They even had the contract ready. As soon as he signed the document, they would immediately change his surname and his household registration.

To their surprise, Sophia walked in and introduced herself. “Hi, everybody. I’m Lucile, and this is my ex-husband. He is a famous actor and the Academy Award for Best Actor winner, Michael Fletcher. We have divorced, and our assets have been divided cleanly. Although the children are in my custody, he is still Gianna’s biological father. Hence, he occasionally comes over to visit her. Seeing as he is a public figure, a divorce would harm his reputation. Therefore, we have not announced our divorce to the public.”

The Michel Family was rendered speechless by her words. The contract they prepared in advance for Michael to marry into the family and change his surname suddenly lost its weight since they were already divorced.

As an ex-husband and an outsider, Michael tactfully left after a cursory greeting.
