My Dreamy Old Husband novel Chapter 743

Since things had turned out in that manner, there was nothing he could do about it but feel distressed. What rights do I have to love her?

Three years ago, Quinton secretly brought Sophia back and hid her from sight because she was pregnant. When she went into labor, the town was still at war and lacked doctors and medicine. In the deserted hospital that was bombed, she delivered to a girl in writhing pain and as a result, both mother and daughter almost died in the process. After that, he hid her in yet another dilapidated town. Sophia had always loved the city, but she was forced to wither away in a small place.

He wanted to give her the best, but still hurt her in the end.

Hence, it was only natural that she did not reciprocate his feelings.

When Sophia was about to continue speaking, Cooper reached out and flipped the ‘off’ button while saying, “Okay, time’s up. We’re leaving now. You better leave soon. Otherwise, I’ll definitely turn you into minced meat!”

She grumbled, “Dad—”

However, the audio and visual immediately stopped. When Quinton raised his head again, only the bare wall was in front of him, creating a distance of thousands of miles between him and Sophia.

At that moment, she was still in Meyes and what he saw was a mere projection of her being in that place.

He finally left Michel’s Castle in low spirits while she prepared to leave for Cethos.

Cethos was a place that Sophia longed to return to as she was tired of eating mashed potatoes and bread in Europe and America. She much preferred to visit Chinatown there to have Cethosian dishes, but Linus once mentioned that those foods could not be compared to the authentic ones back home.

Once they landed in Cethos, he brought her to have an authentic hotpot.

As their car left the airport and passed by the city square, they saw many exhibitions of the Cethosian culture as it was their cultural week. Apart from that, there was an introductory video being screened on the large screens, elaborating on the country’s tasty food, beautiful sceneries and their folk cultures.

As Sophia leaned against the car windows, she observed everything in excitement. As they were caught in a traffic congestion where their car was bumper-to-bumper, she rolled down the windows to watch the video about Cethosian culture on the display screen.

In the video, she noticed the delicious food, the grand caste, Beijing Opera, shadow puppets, and various technologies. Her eyes flickered with hope as she looked forward to all that entertainment.

A man’s face suddenly appeared in the promotional video on the display screen.

He looked like he was in his thirties—even though he looked indifferent, he was handsome yet rugged from those men whom Sophia had met. He had the unfamiliar beauty of a local man yet the profound facial features of someone who lived abroad. Upon looking at his face, her mind suddenly went blank as her eyes widened in shock.

What a handsome man…

“Dad! Dad, look! This man is so good-looking! Who is he? Do you know him?” Sophia quickly asked as she tugged on Cooper’s sleeves. He must be pretty famous to be on the international promotional video along with the symbols of Cethosian culture, such as delicious food and shadow puppetry.

After Cooper raised his head, he was able to catch a glimpse of the person in question before it was replaced by one of fried spring rolls. Nevertheless, he had a good look at the man whom Sophia mentioned and immediately turned his head in disgust while coldly saying, “His name is Taylor Murray, an actor who has been dead for years. It seems like the video is outdated.”

He’s dead…

Sophia’s eagerness disappeared, as though she had wilted.

Upon seeing how disappointed Sophia was, Cooper felt sorry for her, but he did not want her to be related to that man anymore. Once her face was successfully repaired, they would immediately leave the place.

Michael Fletcher may not have been dead, but ‘Taylor Murray’ had ceased to exist in the world forever.

A disappointed Sophia asked again, “How did he die?”

Upon hearing that, Linus nearly burst out in laughter. Seems like Cooper really hates Michael! Since Michael had bought Sophia for 80,000, Cooper would forever hold a grudge against him on this. On top of that, Michael had dug into Cooper’s grave and stole his coffin.

Sophia gathered that he was a playboy who always frequented clubs from the news articles. Apart from that, he was often involved in fights and a bully who forced an actress to kneel before him. On top of that, he even pressured a young, good-looking actor to play by the hidden rules of the industry for his personal benefits! What a scumbag!

God must have hated talented people, but Taylor surely deserves this. He accompanied his pregnant mistress to buy baby formulas, but ignored his own pregnant wife—he deserves to die indeed.

After she entered ‘Sophia Edwards’ into the search engine, she saw various news reports—but none were on her and merely about people who shared the same name as her. Seems like I wasn’t a famous person in the past.
