My Dreamy Old Husband novel Chapter 724

He was about to rub her belly raw with his big hand.

Despite being pregnant, Sophia still played games for hours on end since Michael was not home. However, Justin was keeping an eye on her so there wouldn’t have been a big problem.

After dinner, the two of them changed into their pajamas and played their game of dictionary on the bed.

A thick dictionary was placed in front of Sophia. With her eyes closed, she flipped the pages and landed on one. Michael had to open it and circle his favorite word on that page, then record it in a notebook.

That was how Michael got his name.

In the future, his child would have to carry on the tradition. The child’s name would be a combination of both their parents’ last names plus a chosen first name. The chosen name would ultimately depend on the birth time of the child.

“Have you recorded it? I’m going to flip through it again!”

“Wait, there are a few good ones on this page. I’m going to write down two more.”

The raindrops continued to patter down on the rooftop outside. It felt like the autumn rain was going to clean off Bayside City tonight.

…

At the Edwards residence, Jordan heard about the setback they faced today from Joe.

Standing in front of Jordan, Joe was so nervous that he started sweating profusely. He stammered, “Jordan, don’t worry. She’s my daughter; I will find a way. Give me two… no, one day. I will convince her.”

Meanwhile, Jordan simply waved his hand weakly and said, “You can leave for now.”

Joe did not dare to say anything else and walked away with heavy steps.

Some time after he left, the door to Jordan’s office opened again and a young man walked in.

The man looked weary as if he had traveled a long distance. He was dressed in a solid black, classic British suit and wore a black top hat on his head. When he bowed deeply before Jordan, every move he made was carried out in a noble and dignified manner.

“I’ve arrived, Mr. Edwards.”

Jordan looked up at the man in front of him who was also wearing a pair of gold-rimmed glasses that made him appear intellectual.

The frown on Jordan’s forehead eased. “You don’t look too bad. I happen to have a task for you now.”

He put down a name card in front of the man that had the name ‘Sophia Edwards’ printed on it.

“I want this woman to vanish from the world.”

Jordan knew that Sam harbored his own desires this time. If he got married, it would be extremely unfavorable for Jordan. When he almost became president in the past, Jordan made him acknowledge his mistake and resign. Now that he wanted to get married, Jordan was going to make the woman he loved disappear! If Sam did not have any legitimate descendants, then all his possessions would be distributed to the Edwards Family after he died.

Without Sophia, however, it seemed like the world would become more peaceful. Lucy and Michael would also get married.

The man took the name card. The natural smirk on his face made it hard to tell if he was really smiling or not.

“No problem. I’ll finish this task.”

…

In a blink of an eye, it was already June. Sophia’s belly was getting a bit more evident and her visible abdominal muscles had disappeared. Her body was slowly filling out, but fortunately, there was a limit.

She did not announce her pregnancy until now. When the time came, she would be able to announce it naturally. She was still working hard now to create a thriving family business for her child.

Because of her hectic schedule, she only remembered that June was also graduation season when Stanley reminded her. As a senior at Bayside University, she would be graduating this year.

Her graduation went smoothly; she managed to get her graduation certificate and Bachelor’s degree. At this point, she was not preparing to further her studies. The business world was the best school for her. Her career as a student had come to an end as she ventured into a bigger playing field.

Sophia was excitedly looking at several outfits. Pregnant women have different ideas every day. We better get more outfits ready for her.

Every word, action, smile, pout, and coy look from her was beautiful.

Meanwhile, Celine was slightly concerned about her second pregnancy and did not go out for the time being. Justin was also actively preparing to be a father for the second time.

Just then, a shop assistant came over and introduced the products to them eagerly. She was rather excited to see Taylor Murray in front of her.

Nonetheless, she remained professional. She definitely could not reveal such a big incident so simply. Furthermore, celebrities often came to the store so security was very tight.

These days, a post about ‘Eddie Fletcher’ being pregnant was circling around. Seems like that’s the truth.

Michael, who was still choosing milk powder, looked up for the umpteenth time but did not see Sophia. She probably went into the changing room to try on some clothes.

It was not that crowded inside the store so she would not get lost. Besides, Gemma, Maria, and Celine were there too.

But, when he lifted his head three more times after that, he still did not see Sophia or Celine.

“Where did they go?” Michael asked Justin.

Justin was holding a jar of milk powder and looking intently at the instructions. When he heard Michael’s question, he also looked up.

“I saw them going to the bathroom earlier.”

Feeling like something was wrong, Michael put down the milk powder and walked over to the other side. He asked Gemma, but she was also only aware that they had gone to the bathroom.

He was particularly on edge now and started thinking of the worst. Pacing over to the bathroom the shopkeeper pointed him to, he opened the door and saw that there was an additional exit in the women’s bathroom that led to the other shops in the mall. More importantly, Sophia and Celine were nowhere to be seen.

This is not good…
