My Dreamy Old Husband novel Chapter 776

Under a tense atmosphere, everybody had lunch together.

After lunch, Michael stayed back for a short while. He chatted with Sophia about the story of Garfield getting stolen, and the one about Judge eating sh*t. He chatted with her until about 3.00PM before finally leaving.

Just when he was about to leave, Michael suddenly said to Sophia, “Sophia, I will be away for a period. I’ll count on you to look after Carmen for the time being.”

Sophia asked him automatically, “Where are you going?”

Michael smiled at her. “I have some matters to attend to, and so I have to leave Bayside City for a while. Carmen would be bored alone at home, and so I’d like to put her under your care, if you don’t mind.”

He’s leaving?

Sophia answered, “Carmen is my child too. I’ll look after her well, naturally.”

Michael nodded in response, but his eyes were twinkling mischievously.

I knew that even after losing her memories, my chica would always have me buried deep in her heart.

She is fated to belong to me, and me alone, because I have debts to repay her.

Michael waved at Carmen. “Baby, I’m leaving now. You have to obey mommy at home, alright?”

Carmen was in the living room in Cooper’s arms as she was distracting him to make sure that Michael had the chance to bid Sophia goodbye while having some privacy. Upon hearing his voice, Carmen nodded while answering, “Don’t worry. Just go ahead. I will eat, sleep, and pee well.”

Cooper was just about to stand up to separate Sophia and Michael when Carmen stated hastily, “Grandpa, I need to pee.”

Why does she have to pee so frequently throughout the day…

Carmen succeeded in diverting Cooper’s attention, and so Sophia walked Michael out. She stared at his back view while he walked through the entrance of Villa No. 8.

That night, she saw Michael leaving in his car.

The next day, she didn’t see Michael.

The third day, Sophia had yet to see him return.

Michael had been dropping by consecutively for more than ten days, and so Sophia had gotten used to his presence. Now that he was absent suddenly, Sophia felt empty somehow, and she felt as if there was a gaping hole.

Since Michael had stopped coming over to harass Sophia, Cooper took the chance to urge her, “Darling, I’ll introduce a handsome guy to you. I promise you he’ll be more handsome than the last one.”

Nevertheless, after going through the failure of the first blind date, Sophia didn’t have any desire to go on blind dates anymore. Besides, her face had yet to fully recover, and so she didn’t want to head out to meet people. She would rather focus and go through her notes at home while revising her assignments from university.

“Forget it, dad. It’s best that I study for a few days at home to prepare myself to pick up my career.”

Since she was preoccupied with reading her notes, Cooper decided not to force her.

In the past, Sophia used to have an insatiable thirst for knowledge. She enjoyed jotting down new knowledge in her notebook. Previously, she learned from a person, named Kenny Blair, in order to establish the luxury brand for pets. Hence, she had a notebook filled with her reflections and thoughts.

Even a good memory can’t beat some lousy notes.

It’s a good thing I have this good habit, and so it’s not too hard to pick things up.

With that, based on the notes she had jotted down in the past, Sophia picked up her businesses from the past gradually. During the time she spent in Africa, there were similar kinds of books available in Quinton’s bookstore. She used to read them when she was bored. She didn’t have much to do for entertainment apart from reading in those two years, so she had read quite a number of books. It seemed that the knowledge she had accumulated during that time could finally be put to good use now.

Sarah dropped by to visit her on a daily basis as well. They’d exchange tips on raising children while petting the dog and caressing their kids. Sarah was now a strong, career-oriented woman, and so she left Harry to take care of their child while she headed out to attend to her career. It was apparent that she was extremely busy.

“You shouldn’t strain yourself too much. Getting your face to heal well is the priority now. You should not worry yourself too much with work for now. There’s no rush in these matters,” Sarah commented while munching on melon seeds. She had three cats in her arms, whereas her son was crawling freely on the floor.

Sophia was reading the notes she had written down in the past. She seemed extremely focused because she wanted to take over her businesses as soon as possible.

After spending some time reading, Sophia took a break. She was having a gulp of water when she thought of something suddenly. Michael hasn’t visited Carmen… and me for an entire week.

I don’t see him coming home at all. I wonder where he is.

Sarah didn’t seem to get Sophia’s intentions, and so she replied, “Sigh, that’s the issue with men… Who knows which brothel he might be patronizing?! He might be seeing someone else!”

He might be… seeing someone else?

That’s true… I’d been ‘dead’ for three years; he couldn’t have stayed single for the past three years. He’s wealthy and powerful, and so I’m sure plenty of women throw themselves at him…

I wonder which brothel he is in now.
