My Dreamy Old Husband novel Chapter 602

As the conversation gradually died down, everyone took out their phones to check on their snails; it could have gone out to explore or was eating or reading a book at home.

There wasn’t anything special about the game, but everyone just liked to play it.

The party went on till about 10.00PM. Sophia walked them out as she had had too much peanuts earlier, and she wanted to take a small walk to help digest the food before going back home.

After a spring rain, the air in Bayside City felt refreshing as she walked around the neighborhood. She enjoyed the cold breeze so much that she was reluctant to part with it, and she accidentally walked toward Villa No. 2.

Sophia couldn’t help but walk toward Villa No. 2; it was as though something was calling out to her.

Ever since Linus left, Villa No. 2 had been empty. Although Linus still owned the property, he left the keys to Sophia and cut off all ties, so the house was considered Sophia’s for the time being.

She walked back home to take the keys then headed back to Villa No. 2 and swiped the door open in the dark.

The key was actually a card that could be swiped to open the door of the villa.

When Sophia walked into the courtyard, the automatic light switch sensed that someone had walked in, and so the living room lights were automatically turned on and brightly lit up the whole villa.

As she walked into the quiet living room, she realized that Linus had left in such a hurry that he didn’t manage to move out all his stuff; there were cat nests neatly placed together and even some cat hair left on the cat post.

Dazed, Sophia sat on the sofa and stared at the vacant living room, allowing her mind to go blank.

Suddenly, a voice came from a corner. “Mommy—”

Startled, Sophia looked toward the source of the sound. There were a pair of round black eyes staring back at her from the dark.

Nicholas walked out from the dark and stared at Sophia with his bright, sparkling eyes.

“Nicholas!”

Sophia cried out with surprise and glee as she bent down and hugged Nicholas.

It had been 2 months since Linus had left, and no one had come here. She couldn’t believe that he would leave Nicholas behind.

Nicholas was still wearing Nathan’s tiger head cap with its two antennae poking out two holes; it made it look like a little tiger boy.

“Why are you here? Didn’t you leave with Linus?” Sophia asked.

“Uncle Linus gave me a new mission; he told me to guard the house and keep it clean.”

Although Nicholas was not human, Sophia still felt heartbroken for it when she learned that it had been staying alone in the house for the last 2 months without anyone noticing.

Dust flew everywhere when she tapped his tiger-head hoodie. “Come on. Let’s go home.”

Nicholas reached out its mechanical hand and held Sophia’s. “Alright,” it replied.

Sophia happily brought Nicholas back home.

Meanwhile, in the living room of Villa No. 8, Michael and Nathan were watching TV after the nanny had cleaned up the mess. They were boringly watching television and having boring conversations.

“Call me Daddy,” Michael said.

“You’re not my Daddy,” Nathan retorted.

“Then call me Uncle.” Michael tried again.
