My Dreamy Old Husband novel Chapter 228

From then on, however, the old man started to have Stanley call Sophia over to the military compound to play chess almost every day. Every time they finished playing chess at the military compound, he would then tell Sophia to have dinner at Stanley’s place.

Nathan was pissed off; every time Sophia went to the military compound, he would tag along and follow her around to prevent Stanley-the-dumb*ss from making use of every bit of opportunity to have Sophia on his own.

He thought to himself, Well, my Dad is coming back soon, and Sophia won’t have time to play outside by then. She will fall head over heels for him once he comes home!

Sophia had become a complete fangirl for Taylor by now, but she was too shy to reveal this side of her in front of Hale. Since she found it too embarrassing to brazenly ask about Michael’s whereabouts, she could only find out discreetly from his fan group.

Over the past few days, something happened in the fan group which delighted everyone. Many of the group’s members had actually received letters from Taylor!

This was the first time they had ever received letters from him; even though everyone knew that their Prince Charming couldn’t have written these letters himself, getting these letters was at least some sort of encouragement, so the fan group was buzzing with excitement.

Sophia also went by the alias Sirius in the fan group. Suddenly, someone asked her, ‘Have you received a letter from Taylor, Sirius? Most of us in the fan group have received it as well as his autographed photos! Since you’ve made so many cinema bookings for his films, you must have received a special letter from him as well, right?’

Sophia felt extremely embarrassed; she couldn’t have received one of these letters because she had written them herself. She replied, ‘Yeah, I received one too.’

Many fans in the group had been boiling over with excitement for several days because of the letters. Suddenly, another big piece of news came out.

‘The latest news is here! Taylor has finished filming “Doctor Invincible”, so he is coming back to Cethos and will arrive at Bayside International Airport tomorrow afternoon! Let’s meet him at the airport!’

‘Lord Winston is coming back with him, so why don’t we team up with Lord Winston’s fans to meet Taylor at the airport together?’

The fans were filled with excitement as they said, ‘That’s right! Even though Taylor doesn’t need such a pompous display of grandeur, we should meet him at the airport!’

‘We have no intention of comparing ourselves with other celebrities’ fan bases, but some celebrities with huge followings always have tons of fans meeting them whenever they show up at the airport—just look at how impressive it is! We should show our devotion to our idol too.’

‘Taylor is way more popular than those celebrities, but look at how smug their fans are!’

Sophia had been following news updates from the fan group as well, so she learned about this as soon as the word was out.

Michael is coming back to Cethos! Why didn’t Hale tell me that beforehand? I’d really rather trust the fan group than trust him! she thought to herself.

Sophia had been indifferent to the world of show business in the past, but ever since she became a fangirl because of Michael, she started following what was going on in the entertainment industry.

A new generation of celebrities had risen to prominence in Cethos lately, and each of them claimed to have billions of fans worldwide. Since they each had a particularly crazy number of overzealously devoted fans, they turned up their noses at veteran actors like Michael and Harry.

These celebrities’ fans were also ready to draw comparisons between Michael and their idols at the drop of a hat. They had compared all kinds of funny statistics about Michael and their idols, such as the number of fans meeting them at the airport, how many followers they had on Twitter, how much they were paid for appearing in commercials, the number of high-end products they were endorsing, and how great their influence on their fans was.

Taylor usually kept a low profile, and he never appeared in variety shows or did product endorsements. Moreover, Taylor’s fans were relatively more rational, resulting in a wrong impression that Taylor had fewer fans than the celebrities with huge fan bases.

Unlike some overzealous fans in many fan communities, Taylor’s fans were not going to start a sh*tstorm on social media over the disparaging comments made about their idol by the fans of some of his fellow juniors. However, what should be done must be done.

Therefore, everyone in the fan group decided to go to the airport to meet Taylor in person.

However, the reality was that the fans who had gone to meet Taylor at the airport would never be able to see him in person. Taylor always left the airport through specialized passageways, so his fans never had the chance to catch a glimpse of him.
