My Dreamy Old Husband
Chapter 1206

Is he here to look for Carmen? Cade opened the door and invited Cooper in. “Are you here to pickCarmen up, Mr. Mitchell? My mom's sick, and Carmen's talking to her now!” Cade said in a pleasanttone 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 thatAnnie's sick, so I'm here to pay her a visit,” he replied as he stepped into the house. Carmenexcitedly 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 placedbehind his back. Woah, what? Is Cooper actually here to give Mom flowers? He wasn't tricked byCarmen! 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 ontheir progress. But the moment he went up the stairs, he saw Carmen dragging Callum down. Whenshe 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.”

Wait a minute... Carmen's words had surprised Cade once again. This young girl is in our house, andshe blatantly allowed her grandfather to flirt with my mother, yet she wouldn't even let us go take alook?! Cade seized this opportunity to get Carmen to follow his orders. “Well, let me carry you;otherwise, I'm going up there,” he uttered.

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

Meanwhile, Anna was the first to speak in her room. “Thank you for coming over, Mr. Mitchell. It'sjust an old illness that I have; it's no big deal.” Anna seemed extremely glad to see Cooper. Shesounded 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 weretwinkling, and she didn’t seem to be that ill. This made him feel better, but he quickly averted hisgaze as he thought that it was rude to stare. “Carmen asked me to come over and visit you,” heexplained. With his gaze avoiding hers, he looked around the room to see the cup that Anna hadjust drank from and the corgi that was running around on the floor. He was too nervous to knowwhat to say or do, so he brought out the few roses that he had plucked earlier and began toarrange them into the vase.

So Cooper is really the one who has been giving me roses. Anna's eyes gleamed with joy as shegrinned. “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 atthe flowers. “As long as you like them.”

In the meantime, Michael was in Villa No. 8 at The Imperial. It was the weekend, and Michael finallymanaged to catch Harry red-handed for stealing all the roses in the greenhouse. With a flyswatter,Michael smacked Harry as he shouted. Smack! Smack! Smack! “I planted these roses for my lovelywife, and they just f*cking bloomed! My wife hasn't even had the chance to see it, and you guyshave already stolen most of it! Carmen stole some; Celie stole some; even my father-in-law stolesome! I can't believe you're stealing some too! Do you guys think I'm dead?!” Harry received a goodbeating from the flyswatter, but he insisted on protecting the roses that he had just plucked as hetried to defend himself. “Do you think I wanted to do this?! My wife wants some roses too!”

Michael continued to smack him. “You should plant some roses yourself if your wife wants some!These plants took me 6 full months to grow; I had to pluck the weeds, fertilize them, and even pickthe bugs out of them! I didn't even want to put any pesticides as I was too emotionally attached tothese flowers! How f*cking good must it be for you to just pick them up once they've bloomed, huh!Get out of here!”

Harry scurried out of their greenhouse with his arms still around the roses as he threatened Michael“I'm warning you; you can hit me, but not my face!”

This only angered Michael more as he began to aim for Harry's face with his flyswatter. “Do you stillhave “face’? I thought you wouldn't know how to spell the word “face’ after your shameless act!Anyway, look at all the terrible films that you've been acting in recently. Your average rating onRotten Tomatoes is probably just 2 out of 5 stars now! You're really saying yes to every film deal!How many “naked loans’ do you have to repay?!”

Harry had accepted a number of odd and peculiar films recently. He had really lowered his ownstandards as an Academy Award-winning actor. It's fine if he doesn't take blockbuster films, but howcan he appear in those terrible, low-quality web series?! Furthermore, all of them are web seriesabout gay romance! Michael sincerely suspected that the scripts for those films were written bytheir gaffer, that the makeup was done by their logistics team, that the director filmed the entirething on his phone before editing it in some cybercafe. What the hell are those series all about?!“Do you think I wanted to do it? Sarah was the one who forced me to accept those offers!” Harryspoke up for himself indignantly as he covered his face and continued to run away. Nathan quietlyheld the door open for them and watched as Michael continued to chase after Harry with hisflyswatter.

Smack! Smack! Smack! Michael spoke as he continued hitting Harry. “How could you accept a movieoffer that pays you 70 million when its total funds invested were only 80 million?! You're reallysomething...”

Sophia watched their interactions and nodded when she heard what Michael said. I agree! Icompletely agree! Following the recent growth in trends of intellectual property, many of the novelswere being remade into films. Even some of the gay male romance, smut, and Yaoi books that Sarahwere addicted to in the past had revealed the news of their upcoming film adaptations. As a masterartist 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 drewgraphics of all the most popular novels, with Harry's face as the main character of each novel. Harrywas 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 themovie. She therefore used her own resources to accept a few offers on Harry's behalf, so that hecould appear in the film adaptations of those novels. The filming process for these shows weresimple—most of them were done indoors while all the naked and fighting scenes were done bytheir stunt doubles; Harry simply had to show up every now and then to fake a few actions. He evenhad a stunt double for the kissing scenes. The series lasted 10 episodes, but he completed hisfilming within 1 or 2 months without having to memorize his script. The voice actors were to do thatjob after the filming was over, so Harry dazedly completed his filming without even taking a glanceat the script.

In the past, whenever Harry had a filming for a movie, he would have to memorize his own scriptsand personally appear in all of the action scenes. He would stay up for days without sleep, and itwas 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 millionsinto it, and 80% of the investments went straight to Harry's paycheck. It was amazing to feel likemoney had just fallen out of the sky into his pocket. More importantly, his wife loved the films; shewould binge the entire series right after he finished filming it, and she'd then pester him to filmanother one.

After all, he wasn't the one investing in the films. He could just finish his job, take the money, andleave. But when the films were aired... That was the reason everyone had been criticizing Harry forlosing his mind recently. They thought he had been forced into this because of the “naked loans’ heowed.
