My Dreamy Old Husband novel Chapter 244

A moment later, the sound of cash-counting was heard in the study. Counting real money was indeed different than counting the fake ones; not only did the texture felt better, but most importantly, it was enjoyable.

Michael wandered around the study and looked around. There weren’t many things in Sophia’s study—a desk, a bookshelf, and a bed. Sometimes, she would sleep in the study if she got too tired after studying.

Books were arranged on the bookshelf. Every page of the books was filled with written notes and sticky notes. On the notes were some vocabularies, her short-term goals, financial formulas and so on.

There was also a small plant on the bookshelf, and beside the plant was a photo frame that contained a photo of Sophia and Michael.

Sophia noticed that Michael was looking at their photo. Quietly moving her butt, she quickly took the cell phone on the desk and shoved it in her pocket.

It was because her phone’s wallpaper was Michael’s photo. It would be so embarrassing if he saw it.

After Michael was done exploring her bookshelf, he shifted his attention to the computer on the desk.

Sophia was shocked because her computer’s background wallpaper was Michael’s photo as well!

The computer’s specifications were too good and Sophia didn’t have a password, so within three seconds, the background wallpaper was displayed on the screen. It was a high-resolution picture of Michael in his swim wear.

The picture was taken when Michael was filming by the beach back then. He was half naked, showcasing his strong and well-defined muscles, looking extremely energetic. It was as if his pheromones were emanating from the screen itself.

Immediately, Sophia sprang up and blocked the screen with her butt and stood in between the computer and Michael.

Michael already knew he was the person in the wallpaper.

He never filmed in scenes that involved full nudity. Baring his torso was close to the maximum that he could tolerate, so the one with swim wear was probably his limit.

Michael pretended to not see clearly and purposely asked, “The person on your computer wallpaper looks familiar.”

Sophia blushed violently. “It’s a video game wallpaper!”

She took the opportunity to close the screen and attempted to initiate another topic.

“Erm… The voting for the celebrity ranking of ‘Light of Cethos’ has begun. Hubby, don’t you need to canvass for votes?”

The ‘Light of Cethos’ celebrity ranking was initiated by several most influential media companies in Cethos. The ranking had been around for over ten years, and it was also considered as the ranking for the best celebrities in Cethos.

The top ten would represent the best of Cethos’s entertainment industry. So, celebrities from different agencies would try their best to make it to the list.

A few years ago, Michael and Harry were always the ones dominating the ‘Light of Cethos’, but with the advancements of the Internet, there was a rise of interest toward young male and female talents, so the ranking had been occupied by those popstars that lacked true acting skills.

For someone with good acting skills like Michael, who didn’t rely on canvassing, his ranking had already dropped to number four or five. It had been stable for several years, but it seemed as though his fame was diminishing.

Michael lowered his head and looked at Sophia, whose face had become extremely red and her eyes were darting around. He then said on purpose, “Oh, the ranking? I have been dominating it for many years, so it’s fine. I have to give the youngsters some opportunities.”
