My Dreamy Old Husband novel Chapter 1087

Anne glanced at the young man shyly, deeming him to be quite handsome indeed. Blushing, she told Louis, “Grandpa, I’m still too young for this.”

Although Louis was well-known within Bayside City, not a lot of people had had the good fortune to meet him as he lived abroad and rarely came to Bayside City. Therefore, a lot of people never met his granddaughter, so people began inquiring about her. “Is she your granddaughter? She sure looks outstanding!”

Upon receiving the compliment, Louis announced proudly while stroking his beard, “Yeah, her name is Anne Osborne! She took on my surname as my daughter only gave birth to her! She is marvelous with the harp!”

The crowd began giving praise. “She looks like someone with a bright future ahead of her! She might even get to uphold your legacy, Master Osborne!”

However, the glory didn’t last for too long, as it was soon disrupted by a teensy voice. “Mr. Louis, I’m here!”

Overjoyed upon hearing Carmen’s voice, Louis hastily took a few steps forward, whereas the crowd parted to let him through. Michael had Carmen in his arms, who was wearing a pink dress and pink bow, looking all delicate and outrageously adorable.

“Hiya! You’re finally here! I’ve been waiting so long for you!” Louis carried Carmen in his arms after carefully taking her from Michael. Laying eyes on her cute appearance lifted his spirits, and both Sophia and Michael’s presence further enraptured him. As soon as he began talking to Michael and Sophia, the people who were flattering Anne just moments ago turned to focus on Carmen.

“Mr. Fletcher, fancy seeing you here! So I figure this little girl is your daughter?”

“Oh gosh, she seems like an outstanding girl gifted with both good looks and talent! I bet she will rise to prominence in the future!”

Standing at the side, Anne was feeling vexed for being left out by the crowd. She was glaring at Carmen, who was in Louis’ arms. As far as she could remember, she was the only one who ever received such exclusive treatment from him, so she didn’t understand why Louis would dote on Carmen so much when the latter wasn’t even related to him.

Clenching her fists while feelings of jealousy burned within her, Anne scrunched up the paper that was pressed under her palm, ruining the calligraphy work that Louis had just completed. Luckily, everybody’s attention was on Carmen, so she left hastily before anyone noticed her.

Anne left the scene in absolute frustration, but she bumped into a blonde man unexpectedly right after taking a few steps. The tall man had his back to her, and the sight of him gave her butterflies in her stomach while her heart fluttered. Since Louis seemed to like this man, she figured she should approach him. Seeing that he was admiring a piece that was titled ‘Wondrous Land’, she cleared her throat while walking up to him. “Although seemingly flawless, this piece in fact contains a few imperfections.”

Upon hearing Anne’s words, the man turned around to regard her curiously. His blue eyes were as mysterious as the bright stars above, while his sharp features looked exquisite. Although Anne had emigrated to a foreign country a long time ago, she only ever dated people who were of the same ethnicity as her, as she didn’t like foreigners. From her point of view, foreigners looked too rugged for her taste, but the man in front of her seemed quite delicate. Although he had the appearance of a foreigner, he had an air of scholarly elegance that was unique to men in Cethos, which was mesmerizing.

The man asked, “Miss, how did you know about that?”

Stepping forward, Anne stood beside him. “Because my Grandpa was the one who created this piece!”
