My Dreamy Old Husband novel Chapter 694

Sarah started to bring the details of her story to life. “Apparently, after we left, my stepmother secretly ran off with her lover. My dad got really furious and went to look for her. I heard that he found her last night, but she’s refusing to come back!”

Sophia felt like the story was not very convincing. For a gold-digger like Judy who was able to marry a man twenty years older than her, how could she run away before even getting her hands on the company shares and the money?

She blurted, “Who is that man?”

Shaking her head, Sarah ate some food then said, “My dad is about to lose his mind. They didn’t reveal too much so I don’t know either. They only told me that Judy ran away and is refusing to come back. She’s no longer part of our family now. To make up to my dad, the Edwards Family wants to send Victoria over as his new wife.”

She couldn’t help but feel like there were a lot of loopholes in this story.

On the island, she even saw Judy going around and flaunting her rich husband. How could she walk away with another lover that easily? Money was more important to her than anything else.

Unless the man she ran off with is richer than Mr. West? Or, unbelievably handsome?

But, Sophia had taken a close look when they were on the island. Except for Michael, there was no other man who was that good-looking.

It made even less sense that the Edwards Family was marrying Victoria off to Peter as compensation.

Wouldn’t the family’s top priority be to bring their daughter home and hand her over to their son-in-law?

Still, that was their personal matter. Who knew what was really going on? Perhaps Judy did find herself an incredibly rich and handsome man who had better backing than Peter. Hence, he had to let her go. To make up to him, the Edwards Family wanted to marry Victoria off to him.

While they were eating, Sophia glanced over at Judge who was sitting and waiting for dropped food with a deep yearning in his eyes. She was reminded of how he got taken away on the island a few days ago because he ate feces and how she had kissed him in a completely drunken state. Suddenly, she felt a stench in her mouth and was overwhelmed with feelings of nausea. Putting down her utensils, she rushed to the restroom and started throwing up.

When she returned, Stanley winked at her and asked, “Aunt, are you pregnant?”

“Get out! You’re the one who’s pregnant!”

Even though Sophia said that, she felt a bit hopeful.

Could I actually be pregnant? Am I going to have a baby? Am I going to be a mother?

After work, she rushed to a nearby hospital to check, but as it turned out, she only had an upset stomach from all the seafood that she ate.

Walking out with some digestive medicine the doctor prescribed to her, she felt immensely defeated. She rubbed her flat stomach and remembered the name Natasha used to call her—a female rooster.

A d*mn female rooster!

The doctor was not happy to see her with her head hung low. He comforted her. “You’re still young. You’re only 23. It’s still early! Take good care of your body and you will conceive sooner or later.”

When Sophia got home, she was even more upset. Even with an array of delicious food before her, she did not have an appetite. Stanley had called Michael earlier to inform him that Sophia threw up during lunch. Everyone assumed that she was pregnant, so she rushed to the hospital in high spirits right after work.

Since she had come home with her head hung low, the results must not have been satisfactory.

Michael also wanted children, but he decided to leave it up to fate. Getting shots at the hospital was going to be painful. They were still young, so it was still easy for them to conceive as long as they kept their bodies healthy.

If they could not have their own children, they could always adopt.

By dinner time, Sophia pulled herself together and had something to eat. In addition, she also drank a nourishing medicinal dish as she told Michael about the story she heard today.

This is unusual. It’s definitely not as simple as it seems.

…

I can’t believe this happened!
