My Dreamy Old Husband
Chapter 440

Of course, Taylor's fans all criticized Natasha for interfering with his marriage. This was especiallyobvious after some members of the crew shared the complete video where Taylor picked up hiswife's call. After that, Taylor's reputation was restored and Natasha's image as the homewrecker wasplanted in the public's mind.

Natasha couldn't allow the hate to spread, so her agency immediately used public relations tacticsto save her reputation.

The message that her PR team released as essentially something along the lines of “She is only aricher fan of Taylor's. What's wrong with adopting a panda for her idol? If she is deemed ahomewrecker just for doing this, aren’t those fans, who call themselves “Taylor's wife, allhomewreckers as well?"

As a result, the scandal of Natasha's embarrassing confession finally passed and the criticisms onlinedied down. There was indeed no issue that could not be solved by throwing money at it.

After the incident, Natasha did not visit the filming site at all, likely out of shame. However, judgingfrom the PR statement that restored her reputation, she'd likely return in a few days and behave likenothing had happened as she would attempt again at seducing a married man.

As an extra at the filming site, Sophia slowly stopped working and tagged along to the site on themeal cart, replaceing a spot somewhere to play mobile games. When she got hungry, she'd feed herselfat the meal cart. If she was tired of playing the game, she'd go have a chat with Nicole.

Stanley Fletcher's company had launched a simple mobile game. Despite being simple, it was a lotof fun and Sophia would play it during her free time. Every time when Michael was done filming hisscenes and checked on her, he would replace her burying her head in the game. In comparison to thegame, he appeared less important to her even when he was her husband, which made him a littlejealous.

The phone signal at the filming site was weak, so in order to help his beloved wife play her favoritegame on the fastest Internet connection, Michael carried a portable wifi device in his pocket. Shecould only receive a strong wifi signal by staying within ten meters of him.

Therefore, Sophia could only stick closely to Michael in order to use the Internet. If he didn’t let herconnect to his wifi, she would vanish very soon from his side. However, at the umpteenth time ofseeing his cutie-pie burying herself in the mobile game after he finished shooting, his jealousyfinally erupted.

“Chica, come over and give me a massage!” His voice was tinged with rage, but she seemed to stillbe upset at him over the Natasha incident. So, she reluctantly shoved her phone back into herpocket and dragged her feet over to give him a massage.

Michael lay on the armchair and indulged in Sophia’s service. Her soft hands were massaging andsliding around his body, providing him a comforting sensation.

Although Michael had nothing to do with the scandalous “big round panda adoption’, the thoughtof a woman daringly seducing her husband in front of her made her upset. She remained silentwhile massaging him

After shooting his scenes, Michael was resting and took a sip of the water that Danny handed him.Then, he picked up Sophia's tablet; it was the tablet he let go of when he was undergoing militarytraining at Bayside University, which was in turn taken by Nathan and brought home. Since then,Sophia was the only user of the tablet.

He touched the tablet screen and was greeted by a wallpaper of his handsome looks. Clicking in, heconnected to the Internet and opened the browser to search for panda photos.

"What are you looking at?" Sophia inched closer to him to take a look.

He answered, “I'm going to adopt two panda cubs too.”

"Huh?" It was easy to adopt panda cubs as long as one had the money. Anyway, this adoption wasonly nominal. After all, panda cubs were not for sale. For the adoption, the adopter would transfer asum of money to the Panda Foundation to nominally adopt the panda. The adopter only had theright to have his or her name on the panda. As for the animals themselves, they would still be underthe care of the Panda Foundation.

Michael had contacted the staff from the Panda Foundation earlier and they sent him some photosThis year, a lot of panda cubs were born at the Panda Foundation, and the staff were looking foradopters. They hoped that the adopter could be a star like Taylor because they wanted to make useof the adopter's fame to spread awareness and to sustain their work. Secondly, the adopter wouldtransfer a sum of money which would contribute to the Panda Foundation's research andprotection.

From last year up until now, the Panda Foundation had overseen the birth of twenty cubs, all ofthem cute. A cute animal like the panda was easily likeable.

Michael wanted to choose two cubs for adoption. For each panda, the adoption fee was around afew million, which was an insignificant sum for him. At that moment, he was focused on choosingthe panda cubs when a delicate hand suddenly shot past his shoulder and pointed at a cub. “Adoptthis one. No, this one’s better. Uhm... This one is cute too. No, how about this one? Let's go with thisone. Oh no, I can't choose...”

Sophia seemed more excited than him and her indecisiveness was on full force again. In her eyes,each cub looked adorable and she wanted every one of them. Michael smiled and handed her thetablet. “You choose.”

Joyful, she took the tablet and started picking the cubs. They're such adorable creatures that couldelicit tears of joy! she thought. Every cub was fluffy and round, drowning her in their excessivecuteness. It was no wonder they were considered to be national treasures! She had no idea whichone to choose. Ahh! It's so hard!

As Michael was resting in the tent he brought on his own where Hale stood guard at the entranceso that no one would dare to enter, Sophia felt comfortable enough to sit on his thighs to choosethe cubs. Finally, she decided on one. “I want this!"

The cub she finally picked was a frail and tiny one which didn't really move around much. From whatthey were told, this weak cub had some health issues and was the weaker one between the twins. Atits birth, it was only half the size of normal newborn cubs.

Sophia was determined. “I want this cub! I'm not going to change my decision!”

The little cutie was an absolute sweetheart. It would be nice to adopt it. They'd donate more moneyto the foundation, which would go to the betterment of its life.

After Sophia was done, Michael picked her cub’s older twin as his second adopted cub.

“When are we going to see the pandas?”

“After this shoot.”

Some time later, Sophia’s guess turned out to be right. Two days after the scandal died down,Natasha appeared at the filming set again. When Sophia saw Natasha and Olivia walking inMichael's direction, she hurriedly warned him, “Ollie the Clown and Natasha are coming over. Quick,pretend to be asleep. I'll handle them for you.”

Amused, he lifted a brow and covered his face with his script on the armchair and started to pretendhe was sleeping. “Ollie the Clown’, or Olivia, walked up with Natasha and found him lying down fastasleep with his script covering his face.

“Taylor, about the incident two days ago, it was my fault for not being thoughtful enough. I hadwanted to cheer you up on your birthday, but it landed you in trouble instead. I'm sorry.” Natashasounded very pitiful with remorse written all over her face.

Olivia was helping Natasha out as well. “Taylor, just forgive Nat. She's your loyal fan and everythingshe did was out of admiration for you. She's young and it's understandable that she mightsometimes act rashly.”

Michael remained “sleeping’ silently and Sophia finally spoke up while massaging his legs. “Alright,alright, Taylor has forgiven you. You two should leave now. Don't interrupt his resting time.”

Olivia and Natasha immediately glared at Sophia's dismissing remark, but they also noticed thatMichael didn't attempt to stop Sophia from talking, as if he had truly fallen asleep.
