My Dreamy Old Husband novel Chapter 1057

The moment Michael appeared, Sophia started to cry.

He was only gone for a month, but it felt like a lifetime had passed.

During this month, she did not hear any news from him as communication was completely cut off at his filming location. Carmen fell ill, and a multitude of other things also happened. Seeing him appear in front of her now made her feel like she had her pillar again. The strong front that she put up crumbled down in an instant.

Lifting the hem of her dress, she ran straight into his arms. A pair of big hands caught her, then precisely and skillfully brought her into his embrace.

As she sobbed in his arms, the exhaustion on his face was instantly masked over by a look of affection. He murmured next to her ear, “There, there. I’m back now. You’re the star of the show tonight. You can’t be crying.”

Just then, she pulled away from him and wiped all the happy tears off her face.

His return was better than anything else.

I can’t cry. That wench will laugh.

Sophia replaced her tears with a smile. Michael took out a pack of tissues from his pocket and pulled one out to lightly dab the tears on her cheeks. He did it carefully so as not to ruin her makeup.

A roar of soft murmurs sounded as the crowd watched the two of them act lovingly with each other in the middle of that big hall.

What’s happening now?

Aren’t they divorced?

Wasn’t she about to announce her engagement with Linus?

What’s the meaning of this?

A frown appeared on Cooper’s forehead, and he was able to figure it out from the get-go.

Perhaps Michael had gone back on his words.

However, the color drained from Linus’ face. What is Michael doing here?

According to this plan, Michael was not supposed to show up.

Justin, who was beside him, was not supposed to be here either.

Even though Michael was talking to Sophia with his head down, Linus could feel his gaze on him from time to time. Those eyes carried a sharpness that seemed to pierce right through a person and into their soul.

Thus, Linus knew that his plan had been exposed.

Breaking into a cold sweat, he remained stiff and frozen in place. He knew that he couldn’t hide it anymore, but he did not dare to look at Cooper or Sophia.

He knew that Michael was going to tear apart his act in the next moment.

Then, he would have to face a disappointed and angry Cooper and Sophia.

Feeling like the world was starting to spin, he could not even comprehend what the people next to him were saying and could only hear that extremely ear-piercing voice. It felt like he was being separated from the rest of the world by an invisible, formless membrane. He did not know anything anymore, and all he could hear was that ear-piercing yet unclear voice by his ear.

Sophia was holding Michael’s hand as she rushed toward Cooper and Annabel.

“Dad, Mikey is back! Mom, this is my hubby, Michael Fletcher. Hubby, this is my mom. Our family is finally reunited.”

When Annabel saw Michael, she was stunned for a moment and still had an awkward smile on her face. After all, she did just brag about Linus being her son-in-law without expecting that her actual old son-in-law would return that quickly. She let out a dry laugh then said, “It’s good to have you back.”

Despite being unhappy that Michael went missing for a month, Cooper did not treat him coldly for it was Sophia’s big day. “Since you’re here, you should greet your mother-in-law.”

Michael’s eyes went back and forth between Cooper and Annabel, then his eyes shifted slightly. Immediately putting up a shameless smile, he said, “Hello, Mom. I’m Michael. I didn’t know what to get you for our first meeting. This is some local jewelry piece that I bought when I was filming overseas. I hope you’ll like it.”
