My Dreamy Old Husband novel Chapter 439

While talking over the phone, Michael waved goodbye at everyone and silently left. The filming set was still quiet. Everyone could only hear Michael’s voice slowly vanishing as he walked further away. “Oh, right, son, my fan gave me a big panda as a birthday gift. Next time, I’ll bring you and Mommy to visit the panda. What do you think?”

Still engaged in the phone call, he entered his own SUV. A few seconds later, the SUV’s engine revved and it rolled away, disappearing from everyone’s vision.

Sophia remained at the same spot. After she poked Danny beside her, he flashed an embarrassed smile at the rest of the crew. “Thank you everyone for putting in the effort to organize the birthday party for Taylor. He’s really happy and very touched.

Enjoy the food!” Then, to Natasha, he said, “By the way, Miss Mitchell, thank you for the big round panda. Uh, I mean the panda. I thank you and your family on behalf of Taylor’s family of three and his ancestors.”

Danny and Sophia went into the car and left as well, leaving behind an awkward birthday party and equally awkward crew. The theme of the night’s party was ‘Natasha celebrating Taylor’s birthday’.

Thinking that other gifts were too commonplace, she specifically splurged two million to adopt a panda as a gift for Taylor, going as far as to incorporate her love for Taylor in the naming of the animal.

She had thought that everything was perfect, but now, she was practically slapped in the face by that one phone call. In that instant, she was turned into a clown who was being watched by judgemental eyes.

They were all secretly laughing at her. A young lady of the Mitchell Family has chosen to be a mistress! And she confessed her love to a married man in front of everyone. How shameless! How insolent!

Under everyone’s awkward and meaningful glances, Natasha suddenly covered her face in her hands and dashed away, vanishing before their eyes in her dancer outfit. Olivia felt her scalp crawling as she stared at the direction that Michael had left and looked toward the other direction where Natasha had fled. After coming to a difficult decision, she ran after Natasha.

A carefully-planned birthday party ended just like that. Only a group of confused extras and filming crew was left at the filming site with a huge cake.

The director was sullen when he threatened, “You guys must be too bored! Since you had the time to prepare a confession party for a married man, I think you must have the capacity for overtime. Tonight, let’s all work overtime!”

No one dared to talk back and they all scurried away to work overtime. Just now, the atmosphere was fired up with Olivia’s enthusiasm and Natasha’s talent, but still, Taylor kept too much of a low profile. There was too little time and too much work, causing everyone to momentarily forget that Taylor Murray was married!

Two days ago, he’d showed off his wedding ring. How could they urge a married man to kiss a young woman? They deserved the overtime dished out by the director!

After getting into the car, Michael tucked the phone that had never rang away into his bag. Just now, there was no incoming call at all. He had delivered an impromptu speech! When he was now finally away from the scene, he wiped away his sweat and let out a sigh of relief.

Whew! If it weren’t for his wittiness, thinking up a clever script on his feet and saving the situation, he could not imagine how furious Sophia would be. Thus, he felt thankful for his own quick wit.

Back at the hotel, Sophia didn’t look angry. Like usual, she was gaming when Michael was studying his script. After that, she went for a shower like what she normally did.

The night deepened and the couple went to bed, during which Sophia finally brought up the debacle earlier. “Why is your birthday today?”

In her memory, his birthday should fall in spring. His fanclub even prepared an event, through which they’d deliver birthday gifts to Michael’s managing agency. He replied, “My actual birthday is today. The one before is agreed upon by the fans.”
