My Dreamy Old Husband
Chapter 409

The elevator doors opened with a ding. Faye stood inside the elevator with her hair dripping wet.She only realized that her hairdryer had broken after she washed her hair, so she was rushingdownstairs to ask the reception for a new one.

Much to her surprise, she witnessed Michael placing a container of soup on the lid of a bin themoment the elevator doors opened. It seemed like he was about to discard it.

Faye's eyes lit up when she saw the soup; she hadn't had a good meal since she touched down inAfrica, and the town they were in had no restaurants with cuisine from her home country.

It was impossible for her to get a taste of home, and it wasn't like the production team could bringa chef over. After eating over half a month's worth of pilaf and McDonald's, they were close tobeing sick from the food.

When she saw Michael entering the elevator after discarding the soup which he didn’t seem towant, she swallowed. “Mr. Murray, you've left your soup behind,” she said.

Michael had already entered the elevator by then. As he selected his floor, he said, “You can have it.Eat it while it's still hot. It's chicken soup.”

He's giving it to me?

Faye was ecstatic. Taylor actually gave her some soup! Wait a minute, this wasn't just a container ofsoup—she could leverage this to create some huge news!

This container of soup had been given to her by the Adonis known as Taylor!

Faye had been constantly trying to get a chance to get into a scandal with either Taylor or Harryduring their filming here, but both men and the director stayed on the VIP floor of the hotel; onewould need a key card to enter. She couldn't get access with her status as an extra, so she never gotthe chance to stir up trouble. This container of soup was practically an opportunity that had fallenfrom the heavens!

Faye brought the soup back to her room; an aromatic scent wafted from the container when sheopened it. Indeed, the container was filled with delicious-smelling chicken soup. She was so hungrythat she was drooling, but she still tamped down on that voracious desire of hers.

She quickly blow-dried her hair and carefully put her makeup on before taking a nice selfie ofherself while holding the container of soup, making sure that her face and the soup were clearlyshown in the photo.

She then used a photo editing app to airbrush her blemishes and edited the photo. After half anhour of editing, she even managed to nearly remove all traces of texture on the chunks of chickenfloating in the soup. With that, she uploaded the heavily-edited photo onto her Twitter andInstagram stories.

As she sipped on the soup, she typed out a caption.

“Thank you so much for the chicken soup, Taylor. Everyone, please take good care of yourself whilefilming! Sending hearts to you guys!’

She then tagged every major account that was related to the “War Dragon’ movie, including but notlimited to Taylor's official account, Harry's, the official account for “War Dragon’ promotions,Nicole's, Richard's, and the official fanclub account for Taylor.

She wished for nothing more than to let the world know that Taylor had given her some soup; shewanted to shock all the staff and actors in the production team as well!

That night, the entire “War Dragon’ production team in Africa, as well as the Harpers, Edwards, andTaylor's fans found out that Taylor had somehow given a young, untrained model some soup.

Was there a mistake? Did this iconic man have a stroke or something?!

When Faye woke up the next day, she saw that she had made the headlines. As expected, getting onthe front pages was a matter of time by tying herself to a handsome, acclaimed man.

Taylor's fans were frothing. Why did their idol give some soup to a young bimbo in the middle ofthe night?!

Due to the time difference between Africa and their home country, the photo seemed suggestivesince it was posted at night. However, it was daytime in their home country, so it kept getting ontothe trending searches.

Michael had been so busy shooting his parts that he didn't notice Faye leeching off him for fame.The production team was on full throttle; even their bathroom breaks were timed down to thesecond as they squeezed every bit of time they could to rush through filming so that they could flyhome earlier. He really couldn't afford to be distracted.

Back home at the military compound, Sophia was in her ward watching yet another one of Nicole'scountryside shows, “Temptations Of Home". It was a show about a village woman's tragic life. Theonly brother of the female protagonist, Jane Miller, was about to marry Martha Bellstone from thesame village.

However, the dowry that the Bellstones had asked for was too high and the Millers couldn't affordit, so they “handed over’ Jane to the Bellstones' good-for-nothing of a bachelor son, Jake Bellstone.She was to be his wife in “exchange’ for Martha.

However, Jane was secretly in love with the son of the village scribe, John Richter, and she wasforced to leave her crush to marry Jake.

Sophia had watched until the part where Jane and John were tearily breaking up before Jane'sarranged marriage. Sophia cried until snot was running freely from her nose while watching thisparticular scene, and the bin next to her was piled high with tissues.

"Oh, why is this so tragic...” Sophia sobbed as she watched the show.

Nathan had a look of horror on his face as he looked at the screen; Stanley, a look of disgust; Sean,a twisted expression on his face.

Sophia had messaged Stanley and Sean out of the blue, inviting them over to watch a movietogether. Initially thinking that Sophia had gotten her hands on some unreleased movie ofMichael's, they joyously trotted over. To their shock, they saw the words Temptations of Home’ onthe screen the moment they sat down.

Stanley could already guess what kind of life his uncle was living at home.

They finally finished suffering through the teary breakup scene. Sophia had finished crying her heartout and took a few sips of water in preparation for the next episode. Stanley was about to take Seanand escape under the pretense of a toilet break, but Sean unexpectedly said, “Look, Sophia. UncleMichael made it to the front pages.”

My Lord has made it to the headlines?

All Sophia cared about that day was watching Temptations of Home’, so she hadn't been reading orwatching the news. She hastily unlocked her phone and logged into Twitter to see the term “TaylorFaye’ trending.

What? Did Michael really give Faye some soup, not to mention late at night? He had been perfectlyfine up until now, so why did he give her the soup? With so many others in the production team,why her specifically?

Faye’s Twitter post had immediately gotten her onto Twitter's latest trends. She was one of theentertainers that Glory Entertainment had wanted to promote, and the Edwards also held shares inGlory Entertainment. The moment this got out, Glory Entertainment's PR machine began to furiouslymilk Taylor's name and published articles like no tomorrow.

One article stated that the two of them were dating each other, while another claimed thatsomeone had witnessed Faye entering Taylor's room; another report said that the two were spottedholding hands all the time. There was even an article saying that Taylor had a change of heart withhis marriage and had already been living apart from his original spouse for a while.

What sort of bullsh*t was this?!

Sophia blew her top. While she didn't believe that those two were together or that Faye had gone toTaylor's room, Michael had to explain himself when it came to the soup.

She didn't bother with her show anymore, instead spending the entire afternoon staring at herphone and waiting for Michael to call her and explain!

The atmosphere was unusually tense. Stanley suddenly felt a bone-deep chill hit him, making hisentire body tremble from the cold; he was so fearful that he couldn't stop trembling. Regardless, hestill stood on his uncle's side and said, “Sophia, there's a time difference. It's still night for him now!Uncle's got to be asleep!”

Sophia continued to stare at her phone.

"Uh, why don't we watch another two episodes of “Temptations of Home’? Stanley asked weakly.Sophia didn't speak as she stared at her phone.

After staring at her phone the entire afternoon, Michael still hadn't called her to explain himself. Bythe time night came, rumors and gossip were flying everywhere. Faye and Taylor's supposed affairhad rooted itself in reality to the point that some people had “personally’ witnessed them registerfor marriage at the local bureau.

No one, not even Michael, his entertainment company, or the production team had stepped up toclarify things!
