My Dreamy Old Husband novel Chapter 246

Some of the fans from the rivals were inferring that Taylor had come to a point where he couldn’t even afford ten million. She didn’t know where they found it, but they managed to find the photos taken on the set when he was filming ‘Doctor Invincible’ where he seemed extremely depressed with messy hair, dirty clothes, and his slightly protruding belly.

The photo was used in the article to make a fuss, saying that after offending most of the entertainment industry, the former middle-aged superstar had become devastated with no roles to play.

And you’re telling me that people actually believed all these? she thought. That was the sad truth however, because as soon as the materials came out, Taylor’s ranking had dropped to the twentieth place. Harry was almost the same. He was barely hanging at the tenth place, and he might fall out any time.

This just went to show how terrifying online slandering could be for Michael’s ranking to drop so much overnight.

As Michael’s fan, Sophia was getting so anxious as she scrolled around the discussion section on Twitter. She really wanted to tell everyone that she was Taylor’s wife and Tay Tay had been living a very good life.

She was so anxious that she was seething with anger. On the other hand, Michael was leisurely looking at the mirror, adjusting his hair.

The university’s professional skills competitions would be held on this day. Many parents would be attending and as Sophia’s husband, Michael felt he was obliged to attend as her only ‘parent’.

Bayside University always had a tradition of wearing school uniforms. Recently, the uniforms were distributed.

Michael had donned Bayside University’s uniform, and with his inch long hair, a black satchel and white sport shoes, he looked just like any ordinary student.

When Michael played Doctor Invincible, he was completely unburdened with the need of maintaining his good looks. He was fine with shaving his head, ‘disfiguring’ his face, and gaining weight, because the role’s image during his depressed days was a fat middle-age man. In order to ensure a realistic effect where his belly was hanging over the belt, not only did he get a tan, he ate a bunch of junk food to grow his belly.

However, after the filming was done, he quickly lost weight and his eight-pack abs were visible again. He even became fairer, and his chiselled facial features were completely different from the fat middle-aged men whose features were miserable-looking in the film.

This was the quality of a true actor. In reality, Michael was very handsome, but in the movies, he was able to portray the image of any role. If he was requested to be a depressed middle-aged man, he could become that very being.

Meanwhile, there were also other so-called ‘popular artists’ who couldn’t get into character.

Thus, this was the difference between a true actor and a so-called popular artist.

However, Michael normally kept a really low-profile. He usually didn’t reveal his private life online. Occasionally, he would post a photo on set without him in it, causing people to think he had really offended the bigshots in the industry. This was the reason why his image as an male idol had started to decline, and many fans had stopped supporting him all of a sudden.

While reading about the fans’ rivalry on the Internet with her phone, Sophia peeked at Michael, who was sitting beside her.

Each time Sophia peeked at him, she would exclaim silently, Ah, my Tay Tay is so handsome! How in the world could anyone be so handsome?! He is so handsome and charming, so why would anyone want to slander him?! Even if he was a pervert, he doesn’t deserve to be slandered. After all, he is so handsome!

Michael wore a black wig. Some of his original hair was poking out and the colors appeared as embellishments for his look. It made him look really young, and he even seemed to be younger than Stanley.

After he was satisfied with his looks, he turned on his phone and started taking selfies.

Upon seeing that, Sophia leaned over quietly and sneaked herself into the frame. In a while, more than a dozen photos were taken.

Meanwhile, Nathan, who had been sitting quietly in front of them, couldn’t bear to watch. What an eyesore! There’s a kid here, mind you guys! he thought.

As the car arrived at Bayside University, Sophia put away her phone and got out of the car along with Michael. Somehow, he found a bicycle and waved to Sophia. “Chica, get on.”

Sophia hopped on the back of the bicycle elegantly, then Michael rode away, blending into a group of young couples cycling in the campus; he didn’t look out of place at all.
