My Dreamy Old Husband novel Chapter 380

Michael spun his head around and asked in confusion, “Did I say something before the competition?”

As her face burned a bright red, Sophia retreated back into the covers and her eyes looked everywhere except at him. “Yesterday, you mentioned that there’s a reward after the competition…” she trailed off. She was so embarrassed that she hid herself in the covers, pouting her lips.

It seemed like he had forgotten about it. “Reward? What reward?” he asked, puzzled.

Fidgeting under the covers, she mumbled, “You know…”

“The one which you mentioned yesterday…” she whispered.

Almost about to blow his top, he said, “Speak louder; I can’t hear you.”

Abashed, Sophis ducked into the covers and shouted from within, “It’s that… costume… reward!”

With his intelligence, it’s impossible for him not to understand what I’m speaking about! He’s doing this on purpose because he was unhappy that I didn’t do it with him the night before, and he’s now doing this to spite me! But we already agreed yesterday that there’ll be a costume reward if we win the competition!

She waited for his reply for a long time, but there was no response for him. Her heart raced as she finally gathered enough courage to peek out from under the covers only to see a man in ancient Cethos clothing standing by the bed.

In a golden warrior robe, he wore a purple and gold crown on his head and mid-calf boots on his feet while his hair reached his waist. In a split second, it seemed as though he had travelled through time and dimension and entered the two-dimensional gaming world.

Sophia’s eyes almost popped out from its sockets. Isn’t this the exact same costume of his character from the game? Michael actually dressed up as him!

With a face like Michael’s, he could pull off anything. When he wore a suit, he looked like a bossy president of a company, and when he was dressed up in ancient clothing, he could play the part of a fairytale lad. He looked exactly like his game character, Scary Phoenix. No matter if it was the appearance or aura, the resemblance rate was ninety-nine percent.

After fixing his head gear, he picked up the custom-made prop weapon, struck a pose and put on a straight face before gazing at Sophia and asked, “How’s this costume?”

Trying her best not to drool as she spoke, she replied, “I-It’s passable.”

It was already noon by the time Stanley, who was taken in by Michael last night and slept in the guest room, woke up, and he rubbed his sleepy eyes. After he got out of bed, he had lunch at his place and that was when he saw Sophia’s blushing face, a typical look of a satisfied woman.

“Get out of here by yourself after lunch,” Michael said.

While he ate, Stanley was browsing through the news on his phone, and he suddenly flew to Michael’s side as though he had seen an alarming piece of news. “Uncle Michael, look at this! The ‘Swordsman Game’ is going to be filmed into a TV series of the same name. You’re really popular on the Internet now and everyone is hoping that you’ll play the male lead. Also, your die-hard fans seamlessly photoshopped your face onto the game character! This series will definitely become a classic piece of work if you play the male lead.”

Without even taking a look, Michael said, “I’m not interested.”

In fact, Stanley already knew that an A-list movie star like Michael would never play a role in a TV series.

However, Sophia seemed highly interested as she joined them and exclaimed, “Let me take a look!”

Some of Michael’s fans had photoshopped his face onto the Scary Phoenix character in the game. The end result of the amalgamation looked complete and perfect, and it looked very much like the Scary Phoenix she slept with last night.

Coincidentally, TV series which originated from games were very popular recently, so ‘Swordsman Game’ wanted to do the same while the trend lasted. Because Michael participated in the Esports World Championship, his fans were urging him to play the male lead of the game in its TV series! Despite the slim chance, they were still requesting for it.

Sophia’s eyes widened with anticipation. If her Lord can play the leading character…
