My Dreamy Old Husband novel Chapter 184

However, she could not show her anger because she needed to pretend that she was an understanding wife, who understood the larger scheme of things so that Richard would not find her annoying. I have to find a way to push Sophia away from Richard. However, at the current moment, she has made such a huge contribution to the Harper Family. Therefore, I can’t be obvious with my motives.

“Richard, this is Audistin, which means that Joel’s acquaintances or subordinates might be here. If you casually approach Sophia, what will happen if he finds out?”

Richard stopped dead in his tracks. Upon recalling the fact that his woman slept with another man for his sake, he couldn’t help but blame himself while being riddled with guilt.

However, whenever he reminded himself that she did this for their future, it instantly eased up his guilt.

His eyes sparkled when he heard that and shot her a grateful look. “Xyla, you are the best!”

They both casually walked toward Sophia.

As Sophia was just done with her footbath and back massage with essential oil, she was about to take Nathan to meet Michael. They should be done with their game of mahjong, I hope.

However, she had barely taken a few steps when she suddenly heard a voice from behind her. “Sophia!”

She frowned deeply. What is wrong with Richard? Why is he throwing himself at me? Why is he doing that while claiming that I’m the one trying to get closer to the Harper Family?

In order to avoid any unnecessary misunderstanding, she feigned that she did not hear him and never bothered to acknowledge him. Instead, she led Nathan into a room and closed the door, effectively closing the door in Richard’s face.

Richard knocked on the door a few times. He noticed that the door was locked and a thought struck him. Sophia now belongs to Joel exclusively, so no one else can have her. That’s the reason why she can’t be in contact with me.

He left with regrets.

Sophia became the owner of the Harper’s Mansion today, so she was in a rather good mood and decided to forgive the Harpers for 12 hours. Little did she know that behind her back, the dramatic Harpers had already written her as the protagonist in their imaginary life-and-death epic drama.

Michael was still playing mahjong while the clients waiting outside were becoming impatient. Daniel had a cigarette between his lips when he played mahjong, wearing an annoyed expression when his assistant entered to urge him several times. Finally, he unwillingly left his lounge to work.

Sophia was obviously the replacement since there were only three players.

Unfortunately, she stared at the mahjong tile on the table with a dazed expression, seemingly not to have learned such a high-end game. She fumbled for the longest time, but she was still clueless. Stanley even mocked her. “Sophie, you usually look intelligent, but why are you stupid at such important times like this? You can’t even play mahjong!”

Michael picked up a tile while quietly stubbing the cigarette between Stanley’s lips. “Kids shouldn’t smoke!”

Sophia, who was sitting across Michael, was staring at her mahjong tiles intently. Her pink and adorable face looked extremely cute, especially with her current expression.

I want to pinch her cheeks badly!

Suppressing his urge to pinch her, he commented, “Chica, if you can’t play the game, you will be played. Why don’t you observe Daniel when he helps the Harpers with their fortune telling?!”

Is Daniel predicting the Harper Family’s fortune for them? That’s great!
