My Dreamy Old Husband novel Chapter 172

After Joel asked that question, everyone’s expression immediately changed. Richard, as the organizer, also felt quite awkward.

Of course everyone knew that the topic was off-limits for Taylor.

Stanley also had not expected that Joel would suddenly bring the topic up, so he quickly hinted at the latter with his expression. This has been Michael’s taboo all the while. Don’t you know who his mother is, Joel?

Back then, Michael’s father, William Fletcher, had ignored his family’s objections and left in order to marry Elizabeth. It was only until the birth of Michael and Celine that Old Master Fletcher softened his stance and allowed the siblings to return to the family. However, he never admitted Elizabeth as part of the family.

In order to ensure that his wife would be recognized by the Fletcher Family, William decided to take on the most dangerous mission but died as a result.

Upon hearing the news of his death, Elizabeth was unable to take the blow and asked Old Master Fletcher to take care of the young Michael and Celine. After that, she killed herself to die together with William.

The topics around Michael’s parents and sister were also a taboo for him!

However, Joel didn’t seem to notice Stanley’s attempts. Instead, he smiled slightly. “I’m Elizabeth’s fan and have been watching her performance for a long time. It was only out of curiosity that I asked you that question. If you don’t feel like replying to me, forget it.”

Everyone wiped off the cold sweat that broke out on their foreheads. Oh, I see.

A bout of anxiousness swept over Sophia as she looked at Michael. However, he merely took a sip of water and answered in a clear voice after putting down the glass, “Thank you for liking my mother’s performance.”

 

Silence fell upon them again.

So, Taylor is admitting the fact that he is Elizabeth’s son? It’s true after all!

Since his debut, people had been speculating about his identity for decades and he finally gave a definite answer.

Elizabeth was someone with an existence of popularity and scandal. When Michael admitted that he was her son, he knew that he had to accept the dark parts of her life as well as her halo of popularity.

Sophia looked at him in worry as she could even tell that Joel was finding fault with him. It’s one thing for them to compete with each other, but why did Joel involve Michael’s mother?

Joel had never thought of letting Michael off the hook, so he said with a half-smirk, “It’s such a pity that Elizabeth has already retired for decades. I’ve been listening to her songs since I was young, but I’ve never heard her sing in real life. Since you are her son, you must have inherited her good techniques. Why don’t you sing for me?”

He’s asking Michael to perform for him?

Although Michael knows how to sing in operas, how is it possible for him to perform here?

Sophia thought, Even if Michael wants to perform, only the concert halls in Vienna is a suitable venue. It’s a waste for him to perform here at the Harper Family’s banquet! It’s even insulting!

Sure enough, Michael hesitated and went silent. Upon seeing this, Joel smiled. “Seems like it’s not convenient for you.”

However, Michael suddenly asked, “Which part would you like to listen to?”

Joel’s eyes flashed as he replied, “The tenor part from Don Giovanni.”

Michael stood up. “Since you would like to hear it, Joel, I shall sing a part for you.”

She looked at him in shock. Is he really singing?

He walked to the center of the banquet hall and announced in a clear voice, “Joel and I were able to hit it off when we met, so I dedicate this part of Don Giovanni to him. Hope you guys will enjoy it.”

Taylor Murray is going to sing Don Giovanni?

Taylor’s first debut was a movie that was related to opera. In fact, all the performances in the movie were actually performed by him without the use of any substitutes or voice overs. However, no one had seen him performing in real life. He is actually going to perform an opera in front of us?
