My Dreamy Old Husband novel Chapter 438

The dance at the start was only an opener. What happened next was the true surprise of the night.

The music slowly transformed into a mysterious and alluring tune as the girl started her solo performance. She twisted her limbs agilely like a serpent and danced around Michael, her flowing sleeves brushing against him now and then, wrapping him in a scent of lily and musk.

The girl had a translucent veil on her, making her look mysterious and attractive, while the way she moved and the way her sleeves fluttered were breathtakingly beautiful. She emanated a gentle and sweet scent.

Her eyes had been on Michael all the time, looking at him with a gaze that would melt any stone-hearted person. On the other hand, Michael simply had a courteous smile on his face.

The mystery was revealed—it was Michael’s birthday! The lights came back and the production staff wheeled a huge cake in, yelling in unison, “Taylor, happy birthday!”

The solo dancer took off her veil to reveal her delicate face, with her crystalline eyes set on Michael’s countenance. With some shyness and excitement, she announced, “Taylor, I have adopted a panda under your name. I named it ‘Taysha’. Just think of it as my birthday gift for you. I hope you’ll like it!”

Taysha? She had indeed shown off her love to him by giving it that name, Sophia thought.

A thunderous applause exploded at the scene. The couple in the middle of the spotlight were a match made in heaven!

It was a known secret that Natasha was in love with Taylor. The fact that Taylor had accepted Natasha’s flower basket two days ago showed that he was interested in her as well. Indeed, no man, not even Taylor, could turn down a lovely and talented girl like Natasha.

Olivia started a chant. “Kiss! Kiss!” She had gleefully planned out the birthday surprise for Taylor. If Natasha and Taylor ended up as a couple, she would be their matchmaker! If that happened, she could forge a closer relationship with Natasha, the daughter of the Mitchell Family. Not only that, her cousin would be grateful to her as well!

Michael remained unmoved, but he had a smile on his face; a polite and gentlemanly smile. At the filming set, everyone quickly caught up and chanted, “Kiss! Kiss!”

The atmosphere was getting heated. Natasha lowered her head and shyly pursed her lips, waiting for Taylor’s kiss. Little did she know that the director, Harry, Hale and Danny were frozen on the spot. What the f*ck? This is utterly ridiculous…

Hale broke into cold sweat with goosebumps all over him. He instinctively took a look at Sophia beside him, who was probably expressionless out of anger. That made him feel as if he had explosives beside him.

“Hale, hand me the loudspeaker.”

Sophia sounded very calm, which made her seem scary. Then, Hale shuddered in fear and rushed to grab a loudspeaker. With lightning speed, he had managed to retrieve the loudspeaker and handed it to Sophia, but unexpectedly, she returned the loudspeaker to him. “Settle this.”

“How?” Hale could sense the rage coming from the daughter of Cooper Mitchell, which made him tremble. Flashing an icy smile, Sophia said, “Come closer. I’ll teach you how!”

“Kiss! Kiss!” At the filming set, everyone was still chanting. When Olivia saw that Michael was still not kissing Natasha after such a long time, she hurriedly went up to give him a push.

She pretended to unintentionally wander behind him and gave him an ‘accidental’ hard shove on his back, thinking that he’d naturally fall forward to Natasha, after which the two would hug, creating a fairytale ending. In that scenario, the Murrays would successfully befriend the ultra-rich Mitchells, but to her surprise, Michael stood still on his spot even after being shoved by her.

Like a statue that was rooted to the ground, he stood where he was, as steady as a rock. Not giving up, Olivia gave him another hard push, only to see him remaining steady on his spot.
