Because Michael had various and numerous people on his Messenger, he had them divided into different categories. He had a category each for the Fletchers, for his entertainment circle, for acquaintances, for his gay friends, and for private matters.
The Fletchers would never see the posts he made while his entertainment circle only ever saw the occasional photos he uploaded of his filming location. These days, his gay friends and family members were seeing photos of his young bride whom he had hastily gotten married to.
It was obvious that Stanley was put in the Fletchers category because he still did not know that Michael had a young bride. Otherwise, he would not have had the courage to approach his woman.
Michael tapped on the screen and replied, ‘Eat sh*t!’
In contrast, for people whom she was not close with, she used their full names. For example, Richard Harper or Harry Winston.
Michael searched for his name on her Messenger to see what name she gave him.
He searched for ‘Husband’ but nothing came up.
Neither was there anything for ‘Darling’ or ‘My Dear’.
He went straight to her close friends’ list, only to find himself listed as ‘Pervert’.
At least ‘Pervert’ is better than nothing!
Sundae Cone sent another message, ‘Come. Let’s go to the film crew next door and watch them film!
Michael replied once again, ‘Go to h*ll.’
Then, he saw Richard Harper desperately sending messages to her, ‘Sophia, why is your phone turned off?’
‘I’m not hoping for anything else. I just want to talk to you.’
Followed by several over-a-minute-long voice messages.
With his big hand, Michael deleted every one of the messages.
After that, he went into her photo album. They were all photos of Nathan; Nathan sleeping, Nathan eating, Nathan biting into a popsicle. All of which she took over a dozen of; even when he rolled his eyes, she captured it.
She clearly loved his son more than him.
Michael looked for a bit then took off his coat and lay down.
Upon seeing that, Nathan quickly climbed over and sandwiched his small body between the both of them. He had his back toward Sophia while he faced Michael with a stern expression.
He must be secretly thinking of putting a baby sister in Sophia’s tummy!
The both of them had a staring competition.
After a while, Nathan fell asleep first. Once he was sound asleep, Michael immediately tossed him aside and took Sophia into his arms, and fell asleep.
She was soft and had a nice smell, making her comfortable to hug to sleep.
As he hugged her, she was already fast asleep and could not open her eyes at all. In her dream, she thought she was hugging a doll and her arms reached out to wrap around his waist.
Sophia was dead-asleep. A couple of days ago, she dreamt of a meat blanket with two grapes. She dreamt of that meat blanket again tonight but it had two sweet cherries on top of it now.
The sweetness overflowed; she could almost taste it.
The next day in the film crew, Michael got his makeup done without his shirt on. The scene today required him to expose his upper body so they had to cover him up well.
The makeup artist carefully applied makeup on his youthful body that was perfectly sculptured like the statue of David. At a glance, bite marks were seen on the left and right sides of his chest.
When he got his makeup done the day before yesterday, there was only one bite mark on his left side. But now, there were additional ones. During those two days, Michael did not return to his hotel room at night and was said to have worked with Ethan Winston on his script.
