My Dreamy Old Husband novel Chapter 1206

Is he here to look for Carmen? Cade opened the door and invited Cooper in. “Are you here to pick Carmen up, Mr. Mitchell? My mom’s sick, and Carmen’s talking to her now!” Cade said in a pleasant tone of voice. Cooper was dressed in a black winter jacket that highlighted his long and lean figure. His face was as cold as the weather outside, and his voice as monotonous as ever. “I heard that Annie’s sick, so I’m here to pay her a visit,” he replied as he stepped into the house. Carmen excitedly came over to take a pair of shoes for her grandfather once she realized he had come over. The young girl then brought him upstairs to see Anna.

“Grandpa’s here to see you, Miss Beautiful!” Carmen cried.

It was then that Cade realized the few stalks of roses that Cooper held in the hand that was placed behind his back. Woah, what? Is Cooper actually here to give Mom flowers? He wasn’t tricked by Carmen! He called Mom by her nickname—Annie—when he came in just now. Annie? Annie! Something must be up! Since when did they get so intimate with one another?!

Cade felt like he had to go up and take a look for himself to investigate the situation and check on their progress. But the moment he went up the stairs, he saw Carmen dragging Callum down. When she saw Cade, she spoke to him sternly. “Grandpa is too big-sized, and the house is too squishy. There’s no space for a third person there.”

Carmen gave him an awkward stare before she finally lifted her arms up miserably. “Do it, then,” she muttered before Cade happily lifted her up into the air. The three of them went downstairs, and Callum looked up to glance at Anna’s bedroom on the second floor. It’d be amazing if Anna and Cooper got together, but it’s not going to be easy for them to become a proper couple. Dad isn’t dead yet, after all.

Meanwhile, Anna was the first to speak in her room. “Thank you for coming over, Mr. Mitchell. It’s just an old illness that I have; it’s no big deal.” Anna seemed extremely glad to see Cooper. She sounded rather excited, but her voice was still a little weak as she was feeling sickly.

Cooper glanced at her as he stepped into the room. Although she seemed pale, her eyes were twinkling, and she didn’t seem to be that ill. This made him feel better, but he quickly averted his gaze as he thought that it was rude to stare. “Carmen asked me to come over and visit you,” he explained. With his gaze avoiding hers, he looked around the room to see the cup that Anna had just drank from and the corgi that was running around on the floor. He was too nervous to know what to say or do, so he brought out the few roses that he had plucked earlier and began to arrange them into the vase.

So Cooper is really the one who has been giving me roses. Anna’s eyes gleamed with joy as she grinned. “Thank you for the flowers. They’re pretty. I really like them.”

Cooper had his back turned against her, but he wore a bittersweet smile on his lips as he glanced at the flowers. “As long as you like them.”

…

Smack! Smack! Smack! Michael spoke as he continued hitting Harry. “How could you accept a movie offer that pays you 70 million when its total funds invested were only 80 million?! You’re really something…”

Sophia watched their interactions and nodded when she heard what Michael said. I agree! I completely agree! Following the recent growth in trends of intellectual property, many of the novels were being remade into films. Even some of the gay male romance, smut, and Yaoi books that Sarah were addicted to in the past had revealed the news of their upcoming film adaptations. As a master artist in elegant Yaoi painting, Sarah would produce new content regardless of how busy she was. She produced more in the recent years; she was still one of the most famous artists as she drew graphics of all the most popular novels, with Harry’s face as the main character of each novel. Harry was the man who practically upheld the livelihood of Cethos’ collaborative content creators.

A few of the novels that Sarah had been following were making plans for a film adaptation recently; Sarah and her fans agreed that they wouldn’t be satisfied unless Harry was the main character of the movie. She therefore used her own resources to accept a few offers on Harry’s behalf, so that he could appear in the film adaptations of those novels. The filming process for these shows were simple—most of them were done indoors while all the naked and fighting scenes were done by their stunt doubles; Harry simply had to show up every now and then to fake a few actions. He even had a stunt double for the kissing scenes. The series lasted 10 episodes, but he completed his filming within 1 or 2 months without having to memorize his script. The voice actors were to do that job after the filming was over, so Harry dazedly completed his filming without even taking a glance at the script.

In the past, whenever Harry had a filming for a movie, he would have to memorize his own scripts and personally appear in all of the action scenes. He would stay up for days without sleep, and it was the norm for a movie to take up to a year of meticulous production to complete. In comparison, the web series he filmed felt like retirement to him. Furthermore, the web series invested millions into it, and 80% of the investments went straight to Harry’s paycheck. It was amazing to feel like money had just fallen out of the sky into his pocket. More importantly, his wife loved the films; she would binge the entire series right after he finished filming it, and she’d then pester him to film another one.

After all, he wasn’t the one investing in the films. He could just finish his job, take the money, and leave. But when the films were aired… That was the reason everyone had been criticizing Harry for losing his mind recently. They thought he had been forced into this because of the ‘naked loans’ he owed.
