My Dreamy Old Husband novel Chapter 705

News of Michael and Irene rekindling old flames and the photo of their date had spread across Bayside City in a flash. Therefore, Michael’s love rivals were itching to make a move, going around telling each other, trying to find a chink in the armor, and looking for an opportunity to slip in. As a result, they accidentally ran into each other.

Three well-dressed members of the Fletcher Family entered the residential area and walked to the entrance of Villa No. 8. Then, they saw Linus, who was equally dressed up with a bouquet of fresh flowers in his hands at the entrance. The four of them looked at each other and smiled. However, their expressions changed immediately when they looked away.

Upon entering the house, they discovered another dressed-up individual sitting in the living room. He had already handed his flowers over and finished saying whatever he needed to say.

The sight of that man left the newly-arrived crowd feeling speechless. Looking at those people, Sophia looked shocked. Why are these people together? “Linus… Joel and Claude! Why are you all here?”

Claude also replied, “I brought some nutritious supplements as gifts. How is your body?”

Joel said, “I came to visit after hearing that you were sick.”

With these bigwigs around, Stanley suddenly realized that he did not stand a fighting chance against them. Thus, he quietly put his gifts down and went to play with his dog.

Sophia invited everybody inside and asked Maria to prepare some tea for them. After all, they claimed that they were here to visit her. She also specially invited Linus inside. However, Linus felt very suffocated after the previous incident and left quickly after a short greeting. He had dropped by purely to visit her, but the rest didn’t seem to have such pure intentions.

Naturally, he had seen the news before coming. Practically everybody in Bayside City knows that Michael had gotten back with Irene, so Sophia must be feeling very sad right now. Before he left, he deliberately said, “Love is not everything in life. You still have a long life ahead of you. It’s going to be New Year’s soon, so cheer up. If you’re free, you can come and visit me in Africa. I’ll take you hunting.”

Sophia nodded. “Sure.”

After seeing Linus off, her heart felt very heavy. She returned to the living room and saw the visitors glaring at each other. Here to visit? As if! They’re all here trying to take advantage of the situation to sneak in! Joel was expressionless, Claude looked reserved, Sam was gritting his teeth, and Stanley was secretly observing them.

Since dinnertime was just around the corner, Sophia said to them, “Thanks for your concern. I only had a tooth extraction, and I’ll be getting my stitches taken out tomorrow. Why don’t you all stay for dinner?”

To her surprise, the door opened again just as she finished her sentence. Another dressed-up individual appeared with a bouquet of fresh flowers in his hands. As soon as he walked in the door and saw the four other well-dressed men in the living room, his expression immediately darkened.

Michael had been extremely busy all day long so that he could make it back in time for dinner. He even went out of his way to get a new haircut and buy a bouquet. He did not expect to come home to a house full of visitors. Moreover, the gifts, nutritional supplements, and flowers were piled all over the place—there was practically no room left for them to walk about.

“Dear, you’re back!” Sophia happily came forward to welcome him home and took the flowers from him.

He replied with a cold expression as he changed his shoes and entered the house, “Yeah, I’m back.”

He walked inside with a chilly expression and glanced at the people in the living room. Sarah, Sean, and Derek were not involved in the matter, and Ivan was hugging a cat while drawing up designs in a corner of the room. Under that chilling glare, Stanley jumped out of his skin in fright, Joel was undaunted, Claude had a clear conscience, and Sam was expressionless.

Meanwhile, Michael changed his clothes and studied Stanley coolly. It’s not the first time this silly boy has tried to take advantage of the situation. He sure doesn’t know his limits. Doesn’t he realize that he is incapable of snatching Sophia away? Besides, Stanley isn’t the problem; I’m more afraid of the others.
