My Dreamy Old Husband novel Chapter 365

While searching, Sean found a name that caught him off guard: Phantom Wolf. When he saw this, he subconsciously looked at Stanley, who was playing with his dog in the distance. Then, he clicked on the video and frowned hard as he watched it.

Although Sophia and Stanley looked like they were playing with the dog, they had been secretly paying attention to Sean, so they saw him find Cooper’s USB and watched the video inside that was decoded by Sophia.

Stanley was still trying to figure out how to pretend to have discovered the video and ask Sean to recall the Phantom Wolf’s appearance when he suddenly saw Sean stand up and wave at him. “Stan, Sophia, hurry over. I have something to show you…”

Stanley was startled by this. Even though he knew what Sean wanted to show him, and even though he knew that Sean would definitely show it to him when he found out, he felt touched when it really happened…

Unfortunately, even after Stanley and Sean watched the video for a long time, they still couldn’t recall what the person looked like.

At that time, they were only five or six years old. Sean liked to run over to the military compound to play with Stanley, and Stanley liked to go over to the Mitchell’s to play with Sean. Cooper had many guests so they didn’t really pay attention, and it was unlikely that they would remember a person they only saw once. With that, they found themselves at a dead end. Stanley watched the video once again and frowned in frustration.

Seeing this, Sean apologetically said, “I’m sorry, Stan. I’ll go and ask the others after I go back. Perhaps there might be someone who remembers him.”

That was all they could do for the time being.

This discovery changed everyone’s vacation plans. After three days of playing by the beach, they all went home one after another. Sean wanted to head back to ask about the Phantom Wolf leader’s whereabouts, and Michael was eager to return to Bayside City. He had watched Cooper’s video about the 100 million that he hid and heard that he gave the other half of his amulet to his lover, who was also Sophia’s mother, Annabel Johnson. Michael figured that he might find something among Annabel’s relics.

The driver drove them back home and Sophia was dozing all the way. When they reached the entrance of the residential area, the car stopped to allow the guards to scan their faces to confirm their identities. As soon as the windows were rolled down, the security captain at the entrance said to Michael, “Boss, people from the Edwards family have been waiting at the door for Miss Edwards for the past two days.”

 

Michael had his sunglasses on and he said impatiently, “Is it Joe Edwards again? Get them out of here.”

Hearing this, the security captain seemed to be uneasy and he said, “It’s not Joe Edwards, but an old nanny. She said that she was a friend of Miss Edwards’s mother back then and she has something to hand to Miss Edwards. She insisted on handing it to Miss Edwards herself and has been waiting for two days in a row. I suspect she’ll be coming by again in a while.”

 

Michael frowned and glanced at Sophia, who was still dozing, before he said, “If she drops by again today, call Miss Edwards and let her know.”

With that, the car drove into the residential area. After they got home, Sophia yawned and slumped against Michael, as if there were no bones in her body, acting like a spoiled child. “Hubby, I’m so tired that I can’t walk anymore.”

Michael immediately lifted her up and carried her in his arms. “I’ll carry you in.”

Then, the old nanny said to her mysteriously, “Anna told me that this thing is very important and that you must take it out. It has to be taken out.”

Sophia thanked the old nanny and sent her off. Then, she went home and studied the lease contract of the safe. According to the contract, if the renter of the safe dies, the heir must provide relevant documents before opening the safe. Michael also learned of this and was keenly aware of the extraordinary nature of this key. Cooper said that he had given the other half of the amulet to Annabel, but they couldn’t find any trace of the amulet among Annabel’s relics. It was possible that it was being kept in Annabel’s safe.

Later, Michael helped Sophia get Annabel’s death certificate and documents proving her identity as Annabel’s heir as quickly as possible. With the key and documents in hand, Sophia excitedly rushed to Citibank and asked to open the safe Annabel rented. Michael also accompanied Sophia to the bank and because of his special status as best actor, Taylor Murray, Citibank specially sent a VIP receptionist to serve them.

“Mr. and Mrs. Fletcher, please wait for a moment. We need some time to verify the documents.” The receptionist was well-trained. Even though the popular best actor, Taylor Murray, was sitting opposite her, she wasn’t gaffed at all. Seeing the receptionist bring the documents for verification, Sophia was so excited that her hands that were on her knees were shaking slightly.

She stood up excitedly and paced back and forth the spacious VIP hall, unable to suppress the excitement she felt.

I wonder what mother left for me?

Sophia was extremely excited but Michael was in a bad mood and he kept frowning. He had visited Citibank with the documents and key before, hoping to open Annabel’s safe to see the contents in advance. Unfortunately, the bank had requested that the renter or her heir show up to open the safe, so Michael had no choice but to bring Sophia over. He wasn’t greedy for what was in the safe, but he was worried that there was something in it that Sophia shouldn’t find out…
