My Dreamy Old Husband novel Chapter 677

Joe became anxious. Previously, he wanted Sophia to attend the annual meeting this year. After all, it would serve to increase his reputation if she brought Taylor along with her. Contrary to his expectations, he learned that Taylor had gotten fat.

Moreover, the invitation had arrived without Sophia and Taylor’s names on it. Thinking that bringing Taylor, who had gotten fat, would humiliate him, he couldn’t be bothered to use his connections to add their names to the invitation.

Unfortunately, his actions had led to the present awkward situation wherein his son-in-law had made a magnificent appearance, but there was no invitation for him… For that reason, Joe was so desperate that sweat beaded his forehead. “This is my son-in-law, Taylor Murray. And, this is my daughter, Sophia Edwards. My son-in-law is a famous celebrity. I’m sure he doesn’t need an invitation, right?”

Naturally, his request was turned down immediately.

Judy, who had stayed behind to observe the situation, finally found an opportunity to get the upper hand. Laughing, she said, “Uncle Joe, it’s your fault for not adding Michael’s name to the invitation in advance! You can’t get in without an invitation after all!”

She was secretly enjoying their misfortune. So what if you’re a bigwig? It doesn’t matter how great you are! You don’t even have an invitation letter! How do you plan to join the grand family meeting?! However, she saw Sophia taking out an invitation from her handbag before she finished speaking. “My husband and I were invited separately.”

As expected, Sophia and Michael’s names were written on the invitation Sophia brought out, but Michael’s name was written as Taylor Murray.

After verifying their identities, the check-in procedures were completed at the same time. Thus, Sophia and Michael entered the banquet hall, arm in arm. The first welcome dinner would be held here tonight, then the three-day annual meeting would begin.

Watching them go inside, Faye threw a scathing look at Judy and triumphantly boasted, “Did you see that? They were invited separately.”

Judy felt like she was slapped in the face as she glared at Faye furiously before entering the banquet hall in a fit of anger.

 

Upon entering the banquet hall, it was a magnificent sight to behold. It was decorated magnificently and could hold up to a thousand people. By then, many people had already arrived. They were all members of the Edwards Family that came from all over the world and from all walks of life, including politicians, businessmen, and entertainers. Some even had different skin colors. Several members of the Edwards Family had gone abroad to spread their wings. After a few generations, the appearance of their descendants no longer carried any Cethosian characteristics. Even so, they were still recognized as members of the Edwards Family as long as they were outstanding enough.

Besides, new members were accepted into the genealogy record book every year. These new members were always the focus of attention. Moreover, two familiar faces, Ethan and Michael, had been newly invited to the Edwards Family annual meeting this year. Therefore, many were paying attention to those two. As they gathered around Harry and Michael for more information, the two were soon surrounded by people. Idols were popular no matter where they went. The two of them seemed to shine when standing together—it felt like they lit up half the hall with their brightness.

Men had their own social circles, and so did women. At that moment, Ivan settled down, came over with Garfield in his arms, and met up with Sophia. Then, Sophia carried Garfield in her arms and stood next to Sarah, who had a cat in her arms too. Although they only stood together for a short while, they were soon surrounded by people too.

“Oh, my! What a beautiful cat! What is its name?”

“The cat’s collar is gorgeous!”

With that, Sophia and Sarah smoothly joined a group of ladies carrying cats in their arms. As Garfield’s assistant, Ivan stood by the side with a cat bag at the ready. At the same time, he studied the outfits of the cats and dogs being carried in the arms of the ladies to understand the current popular trends, as well as search for a muse. Unexpectedly, he saw an extremely familiar collar around the neck of a certain lady’s cat…

When a group of young women and their cats got together, the topic of conversation naturally revolved around their cats. Sophia was diligently trying to become part of their group. Thus, she introduced her cat to them, “My cat’s name is Fiffy, and its nickname is Garfield. Its mother is the beloved cat of Her Majesty the Queen of Great Britain, Barbara, while its father is the beloved cat of Prince William, the Duke of Cambridge, Soso. Therefore, my cat comes from a noble lineage and has an extraordinary background.”
