My Dreamy Old Husband novel Chapter 1362

Jordan quickly took action and his lawyers rushed over. At the same time, he commenced public relations activities, removing the articles and suppressing the popularity of the news. He secretly exerted pressure on the media, and many media outlets were forced to delete all news involving the Edwards Group. Even so, some media outlets refused to succumb to the power of the Yard Family. They continued to monitor the situation every day and resolutely refused to delete their articles.

The third day after the incident, the situation changed. The Edwards Group used their public relations authority and asked all media outlets to remove their posts, citing preventing panic from spreading among the citizens of Bayside City as a reason. Simultaneously, they obscured the main topic by throwing Bethany under the bus instead. That way, they reduced the attention to the Yard Family to a minimum.

Maddie’s workplace was the only exception that withstood the pressure from the top. They were not afraid of the secret threats and public requests from various departments and continued to report on the incident. That was because the Fletcher Family was supporting Maddie from behind.

Meanwhile, Stanley obtained his marriage certificate with Christine.

That was something Joel specially sent his men to formally obtain after the incident. With this marriage certificate in hand, the Fletcher Family had a justifiable reason to meddle in Christine’s affairs. Joel’s main purpose was to use this matter to confront the Yard twins. However, he also wanted to take care of the matter between Stanley and Christine while he was at it.

Christine lay on the hospital bed without waking up. Although she was out of danger, she continued to sleep through most of the day. She was unable to move and had to rely on the medical equipment to keep her alive, but she was slowly recovering.

Stanley stared at Christine, who was sleeping deeply, then glanced at the marriage certificate in his hand. For a moment, he couldn’t understand what was going on. At the time, I just wanted a reason to protect her. But, everybody seems to have taken it seriously. Maddie, Joel, and even Christine believe that it’s real. Just like that, I became Christine’s husband… He felt like he was in a dream; he was completely unprepared for it.

“Stan, you should take care of Christine at the hospital. I’ll take care of matters at the company for you.”

He couldn’t recover from the shock and befuddlement that he was actually married. When he heard Sean’s voice, he blankly made a non-committal sound in response while staring at the marriage certificate in a daze.

Sean glanced at Christine, who was lying on the hospital bed, then he glanced at Stanley, who was in a daze. After that, he walked out silently. When he left the nursing home, Sophia was waiting for him outside.

His eyes were red as if he had cried. However, he hid his tears and prevented anybody from seeing them. He was wearing the same outfit as Stanley, had the same buzzcut as Stanley, and used the same phone model as Stanley. All his clothes, shoes, and bags were the exact same as Stanley’s.

He lived like he was Stanley’s shadow. For more than 20 years, he stuck by Stanley’s side and spent all his time together with Stanley. Unfortunately, Stanley got married in the end. And, it was not with him.

“Sean!” Sophia called out to him. Smiling, he followed her into her car, and the car soon left the hospital. He said nothing throughout the journey and simply sat in a daze as if he had lost his soul. She didn’t know how to comfort him. Thus, she concentrated on her driving. She was going to help him move out today…

Stanley remained at the hospital, taking care of Christine. He had not returned to the company nor went home for several days. He finally returned home today, as he planned to pack some clothes. However, he noticed that something seemed to be missing as soon as he stepped into the house.
