My Dreamy Old Husband
Chapter 419

Michael had told Old Master Fletcher beforehand that he wanted to put Nathan through the mill, towhich 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 homeuntil 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 doinghomework and undergoing military training together with the troops.

Thus, Sophia comforted him, saying, “Alright, good boy. I'm home. Your dad is still in a fit of anger.Just undergo your training in the military compound. Your Dad will definitely pick you home rightaway once he cools off.”

Nathan was still crying as he was unable to speak, looking teary-eyed like a poor and innocent childabandoned 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 thatthe 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'sthreatening voice could be heard over the phone, saying, “I have told the chefs in the kitchen toprepare 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 hisbiological son! he thought to himself.

Resigning himself to his fate, Nathan immediately gobbled down his food as soon as they wereserved on the dining table. He could hardly enjoy a delicious meal in the military compound, wherethe 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 completeaccordance 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 havefun 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. Whydon'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 Fletcherthat 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 herboyfriend 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'tcome 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 healways so busy?"

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

Knowing that Sophia was unwilling to talk about the man, Old Master Fletcher stopped questioningher 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 thehouse.

“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. Itsbig and fleshy body kept struggling in her arms with surprisingly enormous strength until itsmacked 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. Ithad been eating well and having a good time in this comfortable place. Not only that, but it wasalso given a massage every day!

Therefore, it ran away without the slightest hesitation.

Sophia had embarrassment written all over her face as she watched Chrysanthemum disappearingfrom her sight.

Seeing that even Chrysanthemum was unwilling to keep him company, Nathan burst out cryingagain.

Sophia quickly comforted him by telling him, “Good boy, since Chrysanthemum is unwilling to keepyou company, I'll keep you company instead. I'll go to the military compound every day to keep youcompany, okay?"

Only then did Nathan reluctantly stop crying.

With that, Sophia accompanied Nathan to the military compound. As soon as they arrived, Nathanwas taken to somewhere else to do his homework; he couldn't leave until he finished doing the 100volumes of workbooks.

Sophia spent the entire afternoon drinking tea with Mark and Woody.

Mark had many orange cats here, and all of them were the offsprings of the orange cat Cooper hadback then. Meanwhile, Stanley's ragdoll cat stood out among the bunch of orange cats like a nobleand elegant prince sitting on top of a pile of chicken drumsticks.

They drank tea till afternoon before Old Master Fletcher chose a handsome-looking orange cat andgave it to Sophia. He said, “Come. I'll be giving this cat to you as a present. That cat of yours isfemale, and this one is male. Even cats have to form pairs.”

Sophia accepted the cat while feeling deeply embarrassed. Well, it's good to have Chrysanthemummated. I'm rich, so I can afford to raise a bunch of kittens.

Then, Old Master Fletcher added, “Now that the cats have formed pairs, it's time for the owner toget paired up too.”

Even while he was giving her a cat as a present, he would take the opportunity to remind her tobring her little boyfriend over next time.

Sophia gave him a silly smile before leaving immediately with the orange cat in her hands.

Before she left, she went to take a look at Nathan, who was weighed down by the 100 workbooks ashe sat in the study Michael had used.

She said, “Just be at ease while you train yourself here, darling. I'll visit you every day, I promise.”Nodding pitifully with tears on his face, Nathan reluctantly said goodbye to Sophia.

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 andeven fought with Chrysanthemum. Since the two cats could be considered siblings, they couldn't bemated with each other. Therefore, Sophia went to the pet shop to pick two more orange cats ofdifferent 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 inthe 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 athome while delivering meals to Nathan every noon.

On the other hand, Nathan's life in the Fletcher Residence was a living hell with his unfinishablehomework and the never-ending morning drills. He was as busy as a bee every single day, and hisskin was weathered by the sun. Nevertheless, he took a little comfort from the thought that Sophiawould 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 spiritsfor 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 townto 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 staringaffectionately at the leading actress and whispering sweet nothings to the latter. Not only that, buthe 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 Michaelwouldn'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!
