My Dreamy Old Husband novel Chapter 653

“… Well, I don’t know about that,” Michael answered.

That question was really too deep, and he couldn’t answer it. Sophia started muttering to herself, “So if a star like Nicholas Yates who has undergone malarplasty, rhinoplasty, and had some work done on his forehead went to have his fortune read, would it still be accurate? I personally don’t think so.”

“Technology is pretty advanced these days, so it’s easy to change your looks and body structure. All those ways to tell your future through reading your palms or bone structure are all lies! Lies, I say!”

Sophia continued to mutter for a while before finally falling asleep.

Michael laid her head on his chest and occasionally stroked her hair gently, the sadness and guilt in his eyes gradually piling up.

Feeling her gentle breaths on his chest, he gave her a deep kiss.

He then looked at her face and studied her brows and lips, not willing to miss any details.

Let me take care of everything for you in this life!

On the next day, Sophia wanted to leave after they had breakfast. She felt that if they stayed even a minute longer, they would find themselves scammed.

Daniel saw them off at the cable cars and waved to them from afar. “Please come again soon!”

 

……

Their second stop was to a mountain that wasn’t well known. They initially hadn’t planned on coming, but it was on the way they needed to pass through so they came to have a look.

Although this mountain was big, it only had a small Buddha statue in a small temple on the mountain. The temple was not developed to the fullest and there weren’t many pilgrims. The mountain road was especially rugged and was frozen near the top of the mountain. Luckily, Michael and Sophia were prepared. They changed into an off-road vehicle with tires made to drive in snow, but even so, the engine of their vehicle died a few times on their way up.

Sophia sat in the car, watching as the car traversed the mountain road, crushing the frozen ice beneath them. The sound of the ice being crushed was really frightening.

Some of the mountain roads only had one lane and there was no guardrail, and beyond that was a cliff dropping down thousands of metres. Sophia was terrified. “Let’s get off the car and walk instead,” she suggested.

Michael was a bit reluctant to walk up the mountain because he needed to be back for filming in a few days. The fat he had been accumulating might be burned off if they hiked up the mountain.

However, the car was having a hard time making its way up. Even an experienced driver would be terrified of the dangerous road. Plus, it had snowed recently so it was white everywhere, and they were quickly running out of a visible path.

Judge was also petrified. The dog’s huge body was curled up in Michael’s arms and trembling, leaning its head pitifully on his shoulder.

Judge was frightened and wanted to be comforted.

Also, the dog had motion sickness and had vomited a few times.

Without a choice, everyone could only get down from their cars and walk the rest of the way up the mountain. They left Nicholas and a few others to watch over the cars, then followed the trail.

Because the mountain was located in the south, there wasn’t only snow there, but also some green plants tenaciously surviving in the cold mountain.

Sophia seemed very happy. Wearing her snow boots, she took big steps as she hiked.

Some pilgrims had pooled their money to build a pathway to the mountain. It was just some stone steps, which were in disrepair for a long time and were pitted. Everyone walked up the stairs cautiously, carrying bundles, both big and small, up the mountain with them.

Judge, who had been suffering from motion sickness, recovered right after getting out of the car. It was indeed the descendant of a sled dog and the snow was its playground. It ran in front of them with its tail wagging happily, then let out a howl as he rushed into the white forest and was gone in the blink of an eye.

Sophia became anxious, but Michael grew a little happy. He said to Sophia, “It’s alright. Dogs have a very good sense of smell and I’m sure Judge will be back soon. There are no wild animals in this mountain, so he’s safe.”

Stupid dog. Just stay here forever and become a wild animal!

The group continued hiking up the mountain. It was very cold because it had snowed last night. Everyone left deep footprints in the snow with each step they took while making twists and turns.

Michael was in front, holding Sophia’s hand. “Just step on my footprints and follow,” Michael said gently.

Sophia lowered her head and walked carefully, stepping on Michael’s big footprints as she walked. She left her small footprints within his big footprints on purpose, finding it fun.

It was so cold in the mountain that Sophia’s brows were frozen. Michael turned around from time to time, adjusting her hat and sweeping off the frost on her brows.

They were acting like lovebirds, causing the rest to be jealous of how lovey-dovey they were.

Halfway up the mountain, Michael received a phone call from the director of the film crew.
