My Dreamy Old Husband novel Chapter 606

Michael wore a grim expression on his face. He now understood that the main question wasn’t who the kid’s father was, but whether he was willing to get married to Natasha. If he refused to do it, the Mitchells might really send their entire family after him!

On the other hand, the Fletchers were well-aware of their own capabilities, so they would probably stay out of this. Michael didn’t want them to be a part of this either—they represented the military, and he didn’t want his own issues to tarnish the reputation of his family name.

Sean and Stanley’s gaze were fixed on Michael’s grim face as they anxiously waited for him to come up with a plan. Right then, Old Master Fletcher gave them a call, his voice concerned as he immediately cried, “What’s going on, Mikey? Everyone on the Internet is talking bad about you!”

“It’s no big deal, Grandpa. Let us youngsters handle these issues ourselves. You don’t have to worry about it,” Michael uttered.

“No.”

Old Master Fletcher didn’t seem to be comforted by Michael’s answer as he continued, “It sounds like they’re all extremely certain that you’re the father. Do you need me to help you out with this?”

“It’s fine.” After talking to Old Master Fletcher for a while longer, Michael glumly ended the call. Before he could say anything, he received another call from the security guard who was in charge of their residential area’s entrance. Apparently, there were 10 members of the Mitchell Family who were already waiting outside the entrance—they were demanding to meet him in order to discuss the child’s matters. Apart from a few older members of the family, the family head, Alex, and Natasha herself were also present in the group. Stanley was extremely shocked to hear this. “Sh*t, sh*t! It looks like the Mitchells aren’t going to let you off the hook since Alex came over personally. What should we do now, Uncle Michael?”

With a nonchalant, breezy voice, Michael addressed the security guard on the other end of the call, “Tell them to f*ck off.” The security guard passed the exact message to Alex, whose face darkened the minute he heard what Michael had said. He rolled his sleeves up in anger—this simple sentence meant that Michael had just declared war against the Mitchell Family, one of the four greatest families in the whole of Bayside City! Things were about to change in Bayside City.

Both Stanley and Sean were shocked to hear how straightforward and heartless Michael was with his words—he could’ve spoken to them face to face at the very least! It isn’t a surprise that the Mitchells got furious after receiving such a cold, heartless rejection.

…

At the same time, Sophia was on a call in the study room. Linus was the first person to phone her the minute he found out about the incident. He kept quiet for a moment before speaking, “I’m sorry. I was careless, and it resulted in so much trouble for you. I’m going to clear things up.” The guilt in his voice could be heard through their international phone call. This was the first time Sophia had spoken to him since he left a few months ago.

“There’s nothing to apologize for. This entire incident stemmed from the long-lasting grudges Natasha and I have been holding against each other. You’ve already done enough for me. Thank you, but I think I’ll have to be the one to deal with the upcoming issues.” The line then fell silent for a while. After a few seconds, Linus offered, “You can still look for me if you need me to help out with anything.”

Sophia giggled before she replied, “Thank you, but please let me handle this. I can do it myself.” The line fell silent yet again. Sophia actually had tons of questions to ask Linus, but she didn’t know where to start. He seemed to feel the same way toward her.

After ending the call, he picked up the book he was reading, ‘Mighty Me’, and continued flipping through the pages. He was one of the first batches to have pre-ordered the book, and he finally got his hands on it. He glanced through the book, his eyes scanning across each page, as if the gentle, delicate words on the page could allow him to interact with her inner world. There was even her own signature scribbled on the title page of the book. He chuckled when he came to the part about ‘Brooke Edwards’. I can’t believe she still remembers everything so clearly…
