It could be said that all children needed a family. No matter how many babysitters or tutors they had, they would never be able to replace the children’s parents.
Ever since Nathan’s parents passed away, Michael took up the responsibility of being his mother and father apart from his actor duties. In addition to that, he still had many other things to handle, so he didn’t have much time to take care of Nathan. It was great that Sophia had come into their lives, and Nathan seemed to get along with her very well.
Nathan scowled, having completely forgotten about putting on his adorable charm in front of Sophia despite promising Michael earlier. Michael teased him and said, “Nathan, call for Daddy!”
Nathan turned his head away. “Hmph!”
Harry teased Nathan as well. “Come on, son—call me Stepdad.”
Along with Michael, they were the Power Trio; Nathan was their child!
Sophia didn’t know about the Power Trio. Her mind fell into the gutter again as she watched this unusual family of three.
She gave a heartfelt sigh as she watched Harry and Michael behaving so ‘lovingly’ with each other. A prince may also fall in love with another prince instead of a princess.
On the other hand, Harry had completely given up on Sophia; he knew that they were just not meant to be. Michael had gotten to her first, and he couldn’t behave badly toward his friend’s wife!
Their meal went by awkwardly. Everyone still had their own qualms, and Sophia felt like a third wheel. Coincidentally, Harry felt like he was being the third wheel as well. Nathan was feeling uncomfortable since he didn’t want to sit with Michael. Instead, he leaned in closer to Sophia.
Michael was probably the only one who was eating happily here.
After their meal, they got up to leave. Sophia took Nathan’s hand and headed to their company, not forgetting that there was still the meet-and-greet with the film crew later tonight.
That was the event that the students were looking forward to the most—the cast of ‘Doctor Invincible’ would be meeting everyone. After being background actors the whole day and not seeing even a strand of the actors’ hair, the girls were eager for tonight’s meet-and-greet.
Sophia hastily slipped away to a cyber cafe during the small window of time between dinner and the meet-and-greet. Having booked a computer, she immediately searched for news about ‘Taylor’ without even booting up her game.
She had never kept tabs on celebrities before; all she knew was Taylor’s name, but she hadn’t watched any of his movies. Moreover, Taylor was a person who kept on the downlow. He never went on any talk shows, nor did he take part in any advertisements. Sophia actually had no idea what Taylor looked like.
She had searched for Michael’s name a million times before, but she had never found anything useful. Who would have thought that face of his would be so famous online?
Oh, what a blunder she had made!
She proceeded to google some basic information about him.
‘A skilled actor, as well as the first actor from his country to win an Oscar. He is known for his performances and his masterful micro-expressions.’
‘His acting skills are so realistic that it is unreal.’
‘The number one sexiest man on the sexiest man list.’
‘As an alumni of Bayside University’s acting program, he has been in the industry for ten years.’
Sophia was dumbstruck.
When Joe found her in Duckburgs, Sophia had been informed that she would be married to an old bachelor. She thought she would be fortunate to marry a man who was younger than forty with a healthy body and a relatively nice face, but she had never expected her husband to be a famous actor.
