My Dreamy Old Husband novel Chapter 217

Sophia leaned on Michael’s shoulder as her eyes fluttered open and shut. Soon, she fell asleep.

She was still shaken up after yesterday’s incident. She hadn’t dared to sleep for the entire night, and Sophia had to give her testimony while taking care of Quinton at the same time; she only left once his family had arrived. In the morning, she went to visit Stanley. There was no way for her to sleep with her entire body aching all over.

Sophia’s heart was still tightly wound up after experiencing her first bloodshed. Still, an inexplicable sense of safety cocooned her when she leaned on Michael’s shoulder. A wave of exhaustion then crashed over her, and she fell asleep shortly after leaning against him.

Michael’s head was a jumble of emotions as he watched her sleep soundly. While she managed to save her life by brandishing her true identity, there were so many people in the cafe yesterday; there was no guarantee that there weren’t any Phantom Wolf associates among them at that time.

Ugh, what a headache! What happened to not getting attached after buying her?

Despite it all, Sophia was still his woman regardless of all the trouble! Since he had already bought her, he had to take responsibility for her until the end!

Now that the Phantom Wolf had landed in the country, it would be a matter of time before Michael crossed paths with the latter once again—it didn’t matter whether Sophia was in the picture at all.

Michael wasn’t sure why he cared so much about Sophia; he had lived for so long, yet no other woman had been able to worm herself into his heart like she did.

That little wife of his had somehow ended up wriggling into his heart by accident.

He pulled Sophia closer and eyed Nathan, who was nodding off at the side.

Michael had been keeping Sophia’s brush with danger from Nathan, but he couldn’t hide why Sophia did not come back home that night; Nathan even threw a tantrum the entire night when Gary wouldn’t let him go out to look for Sophia. He had only been allowed to see Sophia at the hospital once things had calmed down and Michael came home to take him along.

Nathan sure was a heartless boy—Michael had never seen him this worked up over his own father’s life!

All of a sudden, Michael’s phone rang. He had received plenty of phone calls since the incident, but this one was from Caleb. Hadn’t they just met up? Was there something else?

He picked up the call.

Since Caleb was part of the military, he never beat around the bush when it was time to talk. He went straight to the point and said, “Uncle Michael, Stanley has his eyes on the pretty babysitter of yours. You’ve seen it as well; he nearly lost his life last night in order to protect her. Think about it—perhaps it is time for him to officially pursue her…”

Michael’s expression turned stormy in an instant.

Stanley waited nervously in his ward. With his brother being the one speaking on his behalf, ‘borrowing’ Sophia should be something with a high chance of success. Stanley was looking forward to it, but much to his surprise, Caleb delivered a piece of news that was beyond disappointing.

“Uncle Michael shot it down. He said that if you want to gamble your life away, he’ll personally come and take that worthless life of yours himself.”

“Geez…” Stanley sighed deeply. He had already anticipated Michael’s refusal.

Still, he wasn’t dejected by this.

“One day, Uncle Michael will allow me to court Sophia!”

The attack at Time Square was quickly reported in the news, but many authorities were deliberately obfuscating details. If the masses were to know that the culprits behind the Time Square attack were part of an international terrorist group filled with malevolence, there was a high chance that public disorder would happen. They had already revealed whatever they could and hid as much information as possible.
