My Dreamy Old Husband novel Chapter 1499

Jumping with joy, Carmen latched herself to Lorelei. “Lola! When did you arrive?”

Lorelei warmed up to Carmen upon seeing the latter. “We’ll be welcoming the freshers today. They seem to be a little disobedient! How dare a bunch of newbies be so arrogant?”

The girls walked away while they chatted, but Lorelei didn’t speak with Bailey when they saw each other, as they both considered it sufficient as a greeting when they exchanged looks earlier. Therefore, Bailey pushed his bike while walking beside the girls as they spoke, all the while mentally exclaiming on how Lorelei had bloomed into her true self by staying with the Fletchers; that was where she truly belonged.

Lorelei was feared among the freshers. Furthermore, Flynn Clark had his name called out directly by her earlier, so he almost burst into tears out of his intense fear for her. At that moment, Poppy appeared out of nowhere to scare him. “Aha! You’re done for! The general called for you! Flynn, you should be prepared! The following month will be hell for you!”

Flynn was on the verge of tears. As if having realized something, he asked Poppy, “Is Carmen the commanding general’s sister?”

However, his question went unanswered as Poppy left to flatter Lorelei, or else it could easily be her turn to get singled out for the coming month. Flynn stared at Carmen—who seemed to be close to Lorelei—in confusion while she hugged Lorelei. She seemed to be totally different from who I thought she was! Lorelei hailed from the prestigious Fletcher Family, so does Carmen being her sister mean that she is also a Fletcher? No, that’s impossible! How could a Fletcher possibly work as a mere security guard?

Unfortunately, he would never get to know the truth, nor did he have time to brood on the subject any longer, as the military training would soon begin. Lasting for a period of a month, the training was an obstacle that one would be required to pass if one wished to enter Bayside University. Every year, there were a lot of students who would voluntarily drop out of the university as they couldn’t handle the training.

On the other hand, Lorelei already knew of Bailey and Carmen’s relationship. The Fletchers were also keeping a close eye on them. Cooper’s nuclear bomb and the Fletchers’ army were all targeting Bailey like thousands of knives that were pointing at him, so he had a lot of pressure on him. After all, being an old son-in-law was never easy. However, Bailey chose to go down that road nonetheless.

The sisters parted ways after briefly catching up with each other, since Lorelei had a job to do; she still had to train a bunch of youngsters. Poppy, Hope, Ashton and Albert, who were all among the same batch of freshers, were attending to Lorelei in hopes of getting on her good side, since they knew the military training would be taking a toll on them.

Upon leaving the school, Bailey rode on his bike with Carmen sitting behind him. While on their way back, Carmen suggested out of the blue, “Bailey, why don’t we join the military training too?”

She never knew what the military training was about, as she never was involved in it. Although the Fletchers would organize similar trainings for their children every summer, she missed out on all of them as she was studying away from home. Initially, she intended it as a joke, but unexpectedly, Bailey agreed to it without hesitation. “Sure.”

By the next day, the two of them got onto the bus that would take them to the military base. Seeing them on the bus devastated Poppy. “Why are you two here? You can literally go do anything else if you have too much free time to spare!”
