My Dreamy Old Husband novel Chapter 243

Michael chose to retreat in the face of the bullying he encountered and gave up the opportunity for a promotion. Despite Old Master Fletcher’s strong objection, he became a soldier who specialized in entertainment and gave the opportunity to her sister.

Celine was a woman, and the Fletchers usually looked down on women. They thought women were incapable of doing something great, so Michael was the only one they feared.

For the sake of his sister, Michael gave up gradually and in the end, he gave up his military ranking and left the Fletcher Family. He began to work in the performing arts, which was one of the lowliest jobs in the eyes of the Fletchers, and he became a joke to them.

Michael had given all of his opportunities to his sister, and Celine indeed did not let him down. She was continuously promoted and unsurprisingly, she would become the Fletcher Family’s most outstanding leader among her generation. She was even the woman with the highest military rank in the family.

Unfortunately, Michael lost everything overnight. Celine and her husband, Justin were dead, while the woman he loved the most became someone else’s girlfriend.

Michael was frustrated and hopeless, but when he was handed a newborn baby to him, he immediately forced himself to suppress his tears.

Looking at the face that resembled Celine’s appearance, Michael suddenly realized he didn’t lose everything, for he still had Nathan.

When Old Master Fletcher found out his granddaughter and grandson-in-law were dead, he fainted and was sent to the hospital with his life in danger. Afterward, he wanted to adopt Nathan, but was encountered with Michael’s strong objection.

Without any hesitation to break the relationship between them, Michael forcibly took Nathan away from the Fletchers. He wanted to take him under his wing to prevent anyone from the Fletcher and Mitchell Family from hurting him.

He wouldn’t allow Nathan to become the second Michael.

All these years, Michael didn’t marry, nor did he date anyone; there had been no women around him for a long time, all for the sake of Nathan. He was afraid that Nathan would be bullied when he wasn’t paying attention; the kid was still young and naive after all. Michael feared that Nathan would be just like when he was young, choosing to keep everything to himself, so he would not allow that to happen!

On the other side, at the military compound, Stanley sneaked to the commissary and got himself a pack of cigarettes, then he hid in the bushes to smoke. If he was seen by his brother or parents, he would be dead.

The teachings in the Fletcher Family were really strict; they were allowed no smoking, no drinking, no romantic relationships, and they had to keep a low profile when going out so that no scandal would happen upon any of their family members.

So, Stanley had to do it covertly when he wanted to smoke. After he was done, he bumped into Irene on his way back.

“Irene, why are you here?” Stanley asked curiously.

Immediately, Irene could smell the smoke as she knitted her brows and said, “Stanley, are you smoking again?”

Stanley giggled. “Don’t tell my brother. He will kill me.” But when Stanley saw Irene kept on frowning, he couldn’t help but ask, “Irene, what’s the matter?”

Irene forced a smile. “It’s nothing, I am fine.”

The more she said she was fine, the more Stanley knew there was something going on with her. He asked again, but Irene wouldn’t tell. Instead, she asked in return, “Stan, I heard you are pursuing a girl recently? Her name is Sophia? Isn’t she your uncle’s wife already?”

Stanley was ruthless and reckless. On top of that, he had a big mouth; he would dare to say anything. “What? She is not Uncle Michael’s wife. Uncle Michael will never lay an eye on such a young girl. She is a university student who has a poor background and my uncle is supporting her financially. She is also an orphan and an alumni as well. Because she has no one to rely on, my uncle asked her to take care of Nathan and stay with him.”

These were all information Stanley got from Hale, who knew Stanley would definitely spread rumors, so he came out with a perfect excuse to tell him.

Stanley added, “Everyone said my uncle is married, but he didn’t want to reveal it. In truth, he hasn’t even gotten married!”
