My Dreamy Old Husband
Chapter 497

At that moment, Michael, Daniel and Harry were watching the surveillance camera, waiting for anyuseful information they could get from Linus. However, these kids were so drunk that they hadforgotten their objective.

“Old man,” Harry finally put down his glass as he asked Michael, “Why are we drinking wolfberrytea?”

Michael stayed silent. They couldn't do anything else while they sat here. They couldn't drink, yetthey couldn't sit there without consuming anything as well, so they had to order something to drink.Without knowing why, Michael had ordered wolfberry tea without a second thought. He really wasgetting old...

The atmosphere in the room next door was pleasant. After they were done singing, Stanley draggedLinus to experience their traditional Cethosian culture. Sophia enthusiastically followed them,thinking that Stanley would take them to watch a performance of some sort yet when they arrived,there was a mahjong table set in the center.

“This is our national performance!” Stanley announced proudly as he pointed at the mahjong table.After dinner and drinks, everyone did not want to go home yet so they all sat around the mahjongtable and played three rounds. They all used Venmo and made the transactions on the spot. As theywere still in Audistin, Michael wasn't worried at all. He got a deck of cards and played poker whilewatching the youngsters playing mahjong. However, as the five youngsters sat at the table, itoccurred to them that they had a very serious problem—only three of them knew how to playmahjong!

Upon walking into the mahjong room, no one was leaving without getting tainted and the othertwo were destined to be dragged into this. Linus was curious about Cethosian culture, so hevolunteered to learn. Sophia, on the other hand, was forced to learn. They took turns all night andfinally had a rough understanding of how the game worked.

As Sophia's Venmo was linked to Michael's credit card, Michael's phone kept on ringing all nightfrom notifications from the bank.

'600 was charged to your card ending XXXX."

"1000 was charged to your card ending XXXX."

As they played happily, Sophia was growing more and more enthusiastic. Her cheeks were flushedeven though she had lost tens of thousands in a single night.

On the other hand, Linus had lost even more. His losses were reaching six figures, but he gothappier the more he played.

Outside of the mahjong room, Gemma dozed off while standing. Meanwhile, the two bodyguardsLinus brought with him dozed off one after another. In the next room, Daniel and Harry had alreadyfallen asleep. However, Michael was leaning against the sofa as he watched Sophia through thesurveillance. How... adorable she was! Just look at that round face and pink, tender lips. She lookedgood from any angle!

There was a vast difference between the younger generation and the older generation. As the oldmen started to doze off, the youngsters were getting more and more lively. Stanley, who wonmoney from the game, had ordered a barbeque set meal before they moved back into the karaokeroom, so they ended up singing and eating.

After drinking, Stanley began to talk without any restraints. He drank as he ate, all the whilebabbling at Sophia, “Do you know what had happened to Sunset after you brought her over to yourhouse?”

"She's pregnant! Sunset is pregnant!”

“What have you f*cking done to my cat, Sophia?”

As Sophia ate the food that Sean brought over, she defended herself, “That's none of my businessand it's certainly not my fault! I don’t have the body part to make your cat pregnant!”

As they bantered, Sean acted as the hardworking elder brother and barbequed the food. This grillwas good and it was smoke-free, not to mention the room was well-ventilated. Smiling, Linus’ facewas flushed from drinking as he countered, “Stan, what are you worried about? The truth will cometo light when the kittens are born.”

Furiously, Stanley swore, “Hmph, just you wait. If the kittens Sunset gives birth to are orange, I willcastrate your litter of orange cats!”

Sophia mumbled a response, as she had no confidence to refute. After all, she had happily filmedher orange cats taking turns on Stanley's Ragdoll. Meanwhile, a drunk Sarah was hoarsely singing atthe side.

Suddenly, Sean brought up a new topic. “Hey, aren't we all born in the same year? I turned twentyone and my birthday was in July. Stanley's is a month earlier. Sarah started school late, so she'stwenty one too and her birthday is in December.”

“I was born in September,” Sophia stated. Her actual birthday was in September, but the EdwardsFamily had changed it to October to blackmail Joe Edwards. However, Michael celebrated her actualbirthday now.

Suddenly, Linus responded, “I'm twenty one this year too and my birthday is in September as well.”Excitedly, Sophia asked him, "Oh, you're a September baby too? Which date?”

“Eighteenth.”

Upon hearing that, Stanley spat out his drink. “Linus and Sophia, you were both born in the sameyear and on the same day!"

In the other room, Michael had almost fallen asleep. However, upon hearing this, his eyes shot wideopen and something flashed in his eyes. They were born on the same day, the same year!

In the room, everyone was thrilled. Sophia did not expect to share the same birthdate with Linusand she questioned, “Were you born in the morning or in the evening? I heard from mygrandmother that I was born in the evening.”

“I was born in the morning, in Europe. With the time difference, it seems like we were born aroundthe same time.”

Upon hearing this, Stanley laughed. “This is fate, so just be sworn siblings already! This will stop myuncle from being suspicious all the time!”

Confused, Linus asked, “What are sworn siblings?”

Without waiting for a response, Sarah and Stanley started to chant, “Sworn siblings, sworn siblings!”It seemed that they were all wasted. After the chanting stopped, they dragged Linus and Sophia toswear an oath. Stanley then took out two cigarettes and treated it as incense, holding the two ofthem as they bowed.

"Repeat after me. I, Sophia Edwards, swear to be siblings with Linus Michel. Though not born on thesame day, we choose to die on the same day..."

Upon hearing this, Sean reminded, “Stan, they do share the same birthday.”

“I don't care; you have to be sworn siblings!”

Linus thought it was fun and enthusiastically repeated Stanley's words. Meanwhile, Sophia wasdrunk and in a daze, so she followed suit.

After reciting the oath, Sean brought over a glass of wine. “According to tradition, this should bechicken blood. But since it's not available here, some red wine will do!"

After drinking a mixture of red and white wine, Sophia became even more drunk. Lying on thecouch, she saw Stanley tugging at Sean to do the same. Meanwhile, Linus grabbed a fish from thebarbeque tray, squeezed the blood out and served it to them in a bowl.

At dawn, Michael had come into the room and saw the five youngsters passed out in the room.Sophia was sleeping soundly with a blanket on the corner of the couch. Walking into the room, hegently carried her away.

At noon, Sophia finally woke up in a guest room of Audistin. She was in a daze before the memoriesfrom the night before came flooding back. She had become sworn siblings with Linus! Howembarrassing! As she thought about that, Sophia ran out of the room!
