My Dreamy Old Husband novel Chapter 419

Michael had told Old Master Fletcher beforehand that he wanted to put Nathan through the mill, to which Old Master Fletcher gladly agreed.

So, Nathan was dragged out of bed at 6 a.m. every morning to undergo military training these days. After the military training was over, he would start doing homework; he wasn’t allowed to go home until he had finished doing 100 volumes of those workbooks.

Not only that, but Gary and Joel were supervising him.

While the Fletcher Family’s other children were still playing with toys, he was forced into doing homework and undergoing military training together with the troops.

Nathan was still crying as he was unable to speak, looking teary-eyed like a poor and innocent child abandoned by the world, but only he knew whether he was truly innocent.

Suddenly, Sophia’s cell phone rang. She looked at her phone screen and was surprised to see that the call was from ‘Jerk.’

In other words, this call was from Michael.

So Michael called her right after Nathan came back? This couldn’t have been a coincidence!

Sophia braced herself and answered the phone. The instant the call was put through, Michael’s threatening voice could be heard over the phone, saying, “I have told the chefs in the kitchen to prepare a delicious meal. Tell that unfilial son to finish eating within an hour and get lost.”

After that, he hung up the phone.

Sophia felt chills running down her spine, whereas Nathan, who had also heard Michael’s voice, burst out crying again.

Not even the worst father would treat his son like this. But on second thought, I’m not even his biological son! he thought to himself.

Resigning himself to his fate, Nathan immediately gobbled down his food as soon as they were served on the dining table. He could hardly enjoy a delicious meal in the military compound, where the only food available was quick and simple meals prepared by the canteen.

Not only that, but the daily schedule of life in the military compound was also in complete accordance with that of the army, which was utterly inhumane!

While Nathan was gobbling his meal, Old Master Fletcher called Sophia again.

He had called Sophia many times these days, almost always with the same purpose.

This time, for instance, he came up with another creative way to pump her for details.

He said, “Sophia, Nate has arrived home, hasn’t he? Why don’t you come over with Nate and have fun at my place later? The weather is good today, and I made a pot of good tea.

The problem is, I made a little too much of it, so your grandfather and I can’t finish it ourselves. Why don’t you bring that little boyfriend of yours over to have tea with us…”

As expected, after going back to the Fletcher Residence last time, Claude told Old Master Fletcher that Sophia was in love with someone else.

Overjoyed at the news, Old Master Fletcher called Sophia from time to time to urge her to take her boyfriend to his place so that he could have a look.

This time, Sophia turned him down as usual, saying, “He’s been busy with work recently, so he can’t come with me. I’ll send Nate over and drop in on you and my Grandpa in a while.”

Seizing upon the clue in her words, Old Master Fletcher asked, “What’s his occupation? Why is he always so busy?”

Sophia, of course, wouldn’t tell him the answer, so she replied, “He’s been overseas on a business trip these days, so he’s very busy.”

Knowing that Sophia was unwilling to talk about the man, Old Master Fletcher stopped questioning her this time. He then hung up after saying something else.

Having finished his meal, Nathan looked tearful as Sophia held his hand and led him out of the house.

“Alright, I’m sending you back. Stop crying, good boy,” said Sophia as she tried to comfort him. Then, seeing the orange cat sleeping lazily on the sofa while keeping itself cool with the air-conditioning, she hurriedly added, “I’ll let Chrysanthemum keep you company.”

As she spoke, she went to pick up the cat.

To Sophia’s surprise, the lazy Chrysanthemum instantly sprang into life upon hearing her words. Its big and fleshy body kept struggling in her arms with surprisingly enormous strength until it smacked her face twice with its paws. Then, it ran away and dashed upstairs.

Now that it had finally escaped from the cat-devouring hell, it would never go back, of course. It had been eating well and having a good time in this comfortable place. Not only that, but it was also given a massage every day!

Having said goodbye to the pitiful Nathan, Sophia went home with the cat.

The new orange cat was very active after it arrived home; it explored every corner of the house and even fought with Chrysanthemum. Since the two cats could be considered siblings, they couldn’t be mated with each other. Therefore, Sophia went to the pet shop to pick two more orange cats of different sexes to keep the two cats company.

There was already another Felix cat that caught mice in the kitchen. Now that there were five cats in the house at once, the house became a little crowded.

Sophia was quite busy as she spent her days playing happily with the cats and studying by herself at home while delivering meals to Nathan every noon.

On the other hand, Nathan’s life in the Fletcher Residence was a living hell with his unfinishable homework and the never-ending morning drills. He was as busy as a bee every single day, and his skin was weathered by the sun. Nevertheless, he took a little comfort from the thought that Sophia would deliver meals to him, visit him, and have a little chat with him every noon.

Even though he had lost his dad and uncle overnight, his mom was there to keep him company.

Much to his dismay, though, Sophia stopped coming after delivering meals for him in high spirits for three days. Instead, his meals were delivered by an old woman working at his home.

When Nathan asked about it, the old lady answered cheerfully, “Madam will be going out of town to visit your Dad on the film set. She’ll set out tonight, so she won’t be coming from now on.”

Nathan burst out crying upon hearing that.

Initially, Sophia never intended to visit Michael on the film set.

After all, as an actor who played the male lead, it was inevitable for him to do things like staring affectionately at the leading actress and whispering sweet nothings to the latter. Not only that, but he would hold hands with her, kiss her on the lips, and even film sex scenes with her.

If Sophia went to visit Michael on set, she would be upset at the sight of these scenes, and Michael wouldn’t be able to concentrate on his acting.

Therefore, Sophia would never go to the film set and disturb Michael while the latter was working, even if the film crew he was joining was right in Bayside City.

However, she had to go this time, for Michael was involved in a love scandal again!
