My Dreamy Old Husband novel Chapter 450

The ancestors of both the Fletcher and the Mitchell Family nearly lost their lives in the process of retrieving the Imperial Seal. Therefore, Mark was thrilled and surprised when his grandson managed to bring it back in one piece. Needless to say, he knew Eddie Fletcher was just a front, and Michael was the one who recovered the precious artifact.

Witnessing the seal being delivered to the museum, the old man wiped his tears sentimentally and gave his grandson a call. Meanwhile, it was already night by the time Michael returned to the hotel just when he received a call from his grandfather.

In the meantime, Sophia was lying in bed, chatting with Sean and Stanley on her social media. While Stanley was excitedly going on and on about his family’s historical glory with the Imperial Seal, Sean appeared to be confused with the story. He then sighed and texted the group. ‘I can’t believe both our families are related to the Imperial Seal!’

Stanley replied, ‘Of course! While your family might have forgotten this part of the history, it’s etched in the minds of every member of the Fletcher Family. The Old Master is going to be so delighted when he finds out about this! I must say my uncle has really done a good job this time!’

The news said Eddie Fletcher was the donor, but since I wasn’t aware of it at all, it must be Michael who was behind all this! At the same time, Sophia overheard Michael talking over the phone. “Well, I bought the seal from a store when I was filming in Africa back then. So, don’t mention it, Grandpa.”

Sophia didn’t say a single word upon hearing that. So, it was indeed Michael who found the seal, but all this doesn’t add up at all. Michael could have donated the artifact in his own name to benefit his acting career. Besides, he would have also appeared on the headline of every news article while giving the filming crew a new idea for their next production.

Doing that, they wouldn’t even have to worry about their box office after that. Therefore, I can’t believe he’d donate the thing in my name just to prevent my rivalry with Natasha from escalating further. Man! I feel sorry for her about the ‘unfair’ advantage that I had against her in this game.

Jeez! Michael really went for the kill this time, and I have to admit that I almost take pity on Natasha and the Mitchell Family. Sophia then turned around and spread her legs wide apart, waiting for Michael while overhearing his conversation on the phone.

“No, please don’t say that. I’m also a part of the Fletcher Family, so I’m responsible for finding the lost artifact as well.”

“Yes, yes, I’ll play in the movie, and I’ll look for the producer and the rest of the cast. So, please rest assured because I promise we’ll illustrate the past in which the Fletcher Family and the Mitchell Family were in the quest for the Imperial Seal on the big silver screen. Okay?”

 

“By the way, how is Nate doing? Has he been a good boy? How are his studies? He is the only son my sister has ever had, so please just do anything you can to make sure he behaves. If he doesn’t, just swing a cane at him to teach him a lesson. Don’t worry about him because I’m sure he can take it.”

Even without hearing Mark’s voice, Sophia could tell how excited the old man was. Nevertheless, she noticed Michael’s voice becoming serious after they were done talking about Nate. “You know what I want, Grandpa. It’s time we moved Mother’s grave elsewhere.”

 

After all, Michael had indeed contributed a lot to his family and country, determined to become an influential figure in the world. In fact, everything he had done, including charity, retrieving the artifact, and donation, was all for one purpose—he wanted his mother, Elizabeth Murray, to be recognized by the Fletcher Family!

I want Elizabeth Murray to be acknowledged as Theo Fletcher’s wife in our genealogy record book, and I want her to be buried as part of the Fletcher Family. After hearing his grandson’s words, Mark said, “Alright, I’ve been thinking about that, in fact. So, don’t worry!”

Michael knew this could be hard for the Fletcher Family to get over with, but he was willing to wait. Upon hanging up the call, he heaved a sigh of relief, knowing that he had nothing else to worry about after returning the Imperial Seal.

Although Michael didn’t mind patiently waiting until Old Master Fletcher and the rest of the family members changed their minds, he could have threatened the Fletcher Family with the Imperial Seal. Nonetheless, he soon gave up the idea, choosing to take the moral high ground.

Ever since the news about the artifact’s donation spread across the nation, Natasha was never seen on set again, probably because she was too ashamed of her defeat against Eddie Fletcher.

Meanwhile, the entire filming crew was guessing Eddie’s identity; even the whole country was dying to know who this mysterious figure was, as no one seemed to be able to find anything about this person. Some of the skeptics suspected that Eddie was actually Taylor Murray himself because they found Michael Fletcher instead of Eddie Fletcher.

Not long after that, the set was surrounded by a number of reporters who couldn’t wait to interview the star about the national treasure and Eddie Fletcher. Despite his busy filming schedule, Michael accepted the interview and was instantly surrounded by the reporters with tons of questions the moment he showed up.
