My Dreamy Old Husband novel Chapter 385

In terms of skills or punches, both men were almost on the same level. One of them was always the first in the family while the other always came second, and the psychological gap between them showed. Joel had always pushed himself to his limits and his achievements were impossible for his peers to attain.

He had everything he wanted but he still felt he was still overwhelmed by Michael. He was unwilling to lose! As for Michael, he purely wanted to beat Joel up. It had nothing to do with Irene, Sophia, or what happened that day. He just didn’t like him!

With a whack, Michael was punched so hard that his nose started to bleed. Then, with a bash, Joel’s eye was bruised.

Sophia was so afraid that she quickly sobered up. Unfortunately, Harry held her down tightly and wouldn’t allow her to interfere with their fight. All of a sudden, the door was pushed open and Irene walked in.

In his moment of hesitation, Joel punched Michael before kicking him away. Immediately, Irene rushed over and helped Joel up, who was beaten up really badly. She was so distressed that she was about to break into tears. “Joel, why did you do that…”

Meanwhile, Sophia slipped under Harry’s arm and escaped his grip. She helped Michael up and looked at his handsome features, face swollen and nose bleeding. “We were having such a good time; why did you two have to end up fighting?”

Joel got up to his feet and wiped away the blood under his nose. Even though he looked angry, he said to Michael, “Mike, your martial art skills are as strong as back then. Thank you for going easy on me.” Michael wiped his bleeding nose and replied, “Likewise.”

With that, Irene propped Joel up and staggered as they left. Right before they left the room, Irene turned around and glanced at Michael meaningfully. He lowered his head, looking at the bruises on his fists before limping forward to take a seat. Meanwhile, Sophia was so shocked she was about to cry. She simply couldn’t understand how they suddenly got into a fight.

Michael was beaten so badly that his eyes were swollen and there was a steady stream of blood flowing down from his nose to his chin. He quickly took his shirt and carelessly wiped the blood away. Seeing this, Sophia used a tissue, carefully wiping away the blood on his face.

Meanwhile, she was also swiping away her tears and her voice was choked. Looking at a sobbing Sophia, Michael’s lips curled into a smile. “I’m fine. We often fought like this when we were younger.”

Sophia sobbed as she yelled, “What if something serious happened to you? What am I supposed to do?” She was angry yet afraid. After all, she watched Joel punch Michael over and over with her own eyes! He’s not a machine—he’s human! What if he breaks something? Seeing the tearful appearance of his chica, Michael finally realized that he had made a mistake. I am indeed drunk from all the hard liquor. I’m already way past the age of fighting and fooling around but when I saw Joel, I couldn’t help but feel the urge of beating him up.

He wiped away Sophia’s tears with his hand and whispered, “It’s okay, Chica. Stop crying. Let’s go home.”

Hearing this, Sophia sobbed twice before she called Hale and asked him to prepare their ride. Michael then put on his clothes and his sunglasses to cover up his bruised eyes. With that, he walked out and got in the car. Meanwhile, Harry carried a completely drunk Stanley.
