My Dreamy Old Husband novel Chapter 1115

On the last day of filming, it was announced that everyone could leave as soon as lunch time was over.

Half a day—they only needed to get through half a day before all of them could be set free. Everyone prayed silently for things to go off without a hitch.

All the five celebrity dads were physically and emotionally drained as they finally began to realize how their wives were the true pillars of the family.

They only had to take care of their kids for two short days, but they felt as though they’d aged a decade.

True to her nature, Sophia was now hiding in the crowd, probably waiting to make a mess out of things. She wasn’t using her contacts and somehow that had drawn Carmen’s gaze toward her. Carmen perked up as she picked the blue-eyed Sophia right out of the horde of villagers. “Mommy!” she cried out happily.

Carmen took off at a run and planted herself firmly in Sophia’s embrace.

Sophia was startled but she wrapped her arms around Carmen anyway.

That one hug brought forth an astounding ripple effect.

The remaining four children who witnessed this scene immediately turned toward their dads and before long…

“Wah! I want Mommy!”

“Daddy, I want Mommy now!”

The children were crestfallen to see that Carmen’s mother had shown up but not their own. Soon, the sound of heart-wrenching sobs and incoherent wails filled the air.

The celebrity dads grew flustered.

The kids had woken up on the wrong side of the bed this morning and they’d spent hours trying to placate them, for heaven’s sake! What are we supposed to do now?

Sophia panicked as the sobbing and wailing went on, her hands clutching Carmen against her.

Meanwhile, Michael winced. He had known that Sophia would mess things up one way or another.

The out-of-hand situation worsened as all the dads tried to soothe their kids, all the while glowering at Sophia.

Upon seeing that, the director heaved a frustrated sigh.

In light of all this, Michael went over to his wife, trying to make himself look as outraged as possible. He then ordered in a low voice, “Go back to the hotel and stay there. I’ll see you tonight.”

“Fine,” Sophia muttered with a pout.

She knew she had messed up, so it was best if she left the set as soon as possible.

But just as she was leaving, Carmen began to cry. Sophia felt a stab to her heart and she instinctively turned back, only for Michael to dismiss her as he consoled Carmen, who was sobbing fitfully in his arms.

Sophia had grown anxious upon hearing Carmen’s sobs and she couldn’t budge at all. Dimon had to rush over and frog-march her away from the set.

As she was about to leave, she thought she heard Michael coaxing Carmen out of her tantrum, his voice soothing as he murmured, “You have to choose between Mommy and Piggy…”

In the end, Carmen chose the pig.

…

The schedule had been delayed by an hour after Sophia’s presence had caused a scene, but eventually the filming came to an end and everyone left in their cars after lunch.

Sophia hadn’t shown up ever since that morning but throughout filming, Michael had spotted at least eight more drones flying around the set. He had recognized them as the same military spy drones that were manufactured by the Michel Group.

That evening, Michael and Carmen boarded Sophia’s private plane that was bound for Bayside City. Sophia had been waiting for them for what felt like ages.

“Mommy!” Carmen exclaimed as she ran toward Sophia with her arms stretched out.

Sophia happily picked up her little girl.

She felt relieved to know that Carmen had not lost any weight under Michael’s care.

As Michael boarded the plane, Sophia noticed that his skin had a sun-kissed tinge to it. He came over and pinched her cheeks, teasing, “You do underestimate me. Did you really think I’d let Carmen go hungry while she was with me?”

Sophia blushed, feeling sheepish. She had never intended to disrupt the filming process but her worries had gotten the better of her.

That said, Michael did seem unhappy and he had been sulking ever since he got on the plane.

One might have thought that Sophia’s little stunt that morning had something to do with Michael’s sour mood, but no one could have guessed that it was because there was a buffalo aboard Linus’ luxurious, billion-dollar private plane.
