My Dreamy Old Husband novel Chapter 925

That tortoise was brought back by Cooper during a camping trip with the other Fletchers when he was young, and he had since secretly kept it in the Fletcher Residence. Later on when he left, he didn’t bring that tortoise with him and left it and his cat with Mark, of which Mark took care of them for years on his behalf. The cat then bore a litter of kittens, whereas that tortoise was still that tortoise. After that, Sophia inherited that tortoise and took care of it for a few years. When she was captured by Phantom Wolf, Michael took over the responsibility and pampered it for another few years.

Now that Cooper had returned, he had taken back the tortoise.

It was a tortoise that had experienced all vicissitudes of life and was even older than Sophia!

Since the tortoise lived in the house, it never hibernated but now that it was out in the snow, it must have decided to hibernate and there was no trace of it. To make things more difficult, the water in the pond wasn’t stagnant and it was so cold that it could cut through the bone. In addition, it had almost frozen to ice.

Judge had lost his mind and tried to commit suicide by jumping into the pond, creating huge splashes of water. Everyone worked together to scoop him out of the water but as soon as he was out, he dashed into Sophia’s room like a bullet.

He even jumped up onto the bed, rolled under the blanket and shook out his fur in the room!

Words couldn’t describe how frustrated Sophia was.

After half a day of work, they managed to finally scoop out the tortoise and bathe the dog. They even cleaned the room and bed, as well as reignited the incense. After giving Judge a bath, he was locked in his dog house, whining and crying because Sophia couldn’t hold it in and smacked his butt. Judge was so upset that no one could cheer him up, not even his beloved kitten.

Worn out both physically and mentally, Sophia called Michael.

“Michael, where are you now?”

She thought that he must have reached the set by now but to her surprise, Michael muttered, “I was stuck in a massive traffic jam on the way to the airport once I left the city. When I finally reached the airport, I found out that flights are restricted today due to the snow, so our plane is not allowed to take off. Therefore, I’m now stuck in the traffic again, on my way back to the city. There are a few accidents along the way so the road is congested.”

Sophia gasped in astonishment and asked, “What will you do? Won’t it delay the shooting?”

Michael sighed. “The route that the plane applied for is banned so it’s impossible to take off today. Even the flights in the airport are restricted so most of them can’t depart. I’ve applied for leave from the film crew and they understand the situation. Besides, Celie is doing great lately, so everything’s fine.”

“If that’s the case, you should come back,” Sophia advised. “Judge made a ruckus at home because you forgot about him.”

Michael paused for a while before he murmured, “If I come back, will you allow me to have some fun? I promise I won’t take things too far!”

Instantly, Sophia’s face flushed bright red.

Damn it! He was flirting with her over a call.

Talking with Michael on the phone was like listening to the handsome male lead in a drama, his voice so magnetic it was rousing her desire.

“I hate you!”

Sophia hung up the phone immediately.

On the other end of the line, Michael ended the call with his face glowing radiantly. Looking at his phone’s wallpaper, he couldn’t help but smile.

Meanwhile, Daniel, who was sitting opposite him, was speechless.

In reality, Michael didn’t go to the airport. Instead, he went to Reverie Mountain.

The mountain was covered in a vast expanse of white snow and opposite him sat Daniel, whom Michael hadn’t met for a long time.

One third of a year, Daniel would be in Bayside City while another one third of a year, he would be travelling around the world. As for the remaining four months, he would stay on Reverie Mountain. When he heard that Cooper came back last year, he packed all his things and fled overnight.

Recently, there was a rumor that Cooper liked to chop up humans into minced meat to make eggplant with minced meat. That further forced Daniel to hide in fear. Lately, he felt that the incident was blown over so he finally had the guts to secretly appear. Even so, he only dared to hide himself in Reverie Mountain.

His master passed away last year, so he had come back to take over Reverie Mountain’s business and recently, the business was reopened secretly.

Good gracious! That dog bit everything that was in its way and even chewed through the steel cage. He was so strong when he went berserk that even a few muscular men couldn’t control him. Everything in Sophia’s house was broken and torn to pieces. As expected from a husky, it was like a demolishing machine.

While Sophia was recording it, Judge destroyed another steel cage.

Michael threatened, “If you don’t agree, this dog will appear in your temple tomorrow.”

Daniel was speechless as he looked at his wooden temple, which would definitely not withstand Judge’s destruction, and agreed reluctantly.

After receiving Daniel’s answer, Michael left the mountain and headed toward the city center.

From the very beginning, he had come up with a bunch of excuses to go back and spend the night. Apparently, luck was on his side so he had a solid reason to go and spend the night, because he needed to get the dog.

After going down the mountain, he went back to Riverdale and spent some time at the company. As soon as he was done checking his endorsement progress, he went to fetch Carmen from the kindergarten and by the time he got home, it was just in time for dinner.

When he reached home, Judge howled and rushed up to him. As soon as Judge pounced on him, he whined as if he suffered from great indignation. Seeing that Michael was here again, Cooper knitted his eyebrows and asked, “Mr. Fletcher, why are you here again?”

Hugging Judge, Michael smiled politely and replied, “Sophia asked me to get the dog. Besides, my flight is restricted today so I can’t take off, hence my presence.”

Cooper threw an icy look at that stupid whining dog. He knew that Michael did that on purpose just to have an excuse to come back again!

Michael could leave his dog behind today and tomorrow, he would forget his ID card, wallet or even himself! Regardless of anything, he wouldn’t leave.

When it was dinner, Michael rolled his eyes and asked calmly, “Mr. Mitchell, how is the progress of finding your son?”

Before Cooper could answer, Carmen, who was in Linus’ arms, corrected him sternly, “Why are you calling him Mr. Mitchell? You should call him Daddy!”
