My Dreamy Old Husband

Chapter 1289

Linus, who was standing on one side, impatiently uttered to Jordan, “Anna really isn’t here…”

Jordan glanced at Cooper, who was on the bed and raising his head to look at the former. They exchanged menacing glares with each other—one was as steady as rock while the other as fiery as a volcano, causing invisible sparks to flicker in the air.

“Jordan, who are you looking for?” Cooper knowingly asked.

Jordan’s phone suddenly rang at that moment. He answered the call and immediately heard Callum’s anxious voice. “Father, we found Mother in Laguna Hospital. She sprained her ankle and it seems quite severe!”

After hanging up on the call, he gave Cooper a vicious glare before turning to leave. He then drove to a hospital, which was located 5km away and close to the State Hotel. Nôvel/Dr(a)ma.Org - Content owner.

“Annie!” He pushed the door to the ward open and immediately found Anna lying on the bed with a pale face and bandaged ankle; it seemed like she was in a bad condition.

“Oh, Annie!” He anxiously approached her to check on her injuries. Fortunately, she only had a few minor abrasions and a sprained ankle with medicine having been applied on all her injuries.

Anna said, “I was sent to this hospital by someone and I lost my phone.”

Jordan did not seem to suspect anything, but only God would know whether he bought her explanation.

He left in a hurry after paying her a visit. As the head of the Edwards Family, he had many things to deal with after the incident last night.

“Send Mrs. Yard back to the ancestral home.” He instructed someone beside him before leaving.

The ancestral home he meant was, in fact, the Edwards’ ancestral home.

His action meant that she had been officially accepted as the matriarch of the Edwards Family, which would then greatly impact both the Yard and Edwards Families.

Upon seeing that Jordan had left and there were no outsiders in the ward, Callum worriedly asked, “Mom, are you really going to the Edwards’ ancestral home?”

Anna’s expression fell. “Since he wants me to go there, I will do so.” What is he trying to do? Feeling me out? Or, is there any other purpose?

Callum unintentionally noticed a hickey hidden under her clothes—it seemed like a bruise, but… there were quite many of them!

She used to fear men—even Jordan was forbidden from getting close to her, but now it seemed like she had found the love of her life. No, that person had always been her beloved, but he had been stolen from her.

A lot of things had happened over the night.

The Edwards Family was in a complete mess—firstly, there was Jordan’s sudden engagement followed by the exposure of Sam’s secret marriages. The combined ages of those two big shots could be totaled up to a century, but their wayward behaviors had managed to turn the world upside down, causing their family to be in hell.

In contrast, the Fletcher Family was overjoyed because of what someone said—‘Stan is dating someone!’

The children of the Fletcher Family ran around the yard, delivering the great news to everyone. Everyone in the family was delighted to learn about it. The fact that he was dating someone became a

topic that all of them discussed whenever they met one another.

The number one bachelor of the Fletcher Family—the gigantic baby who was never in a relationship despite being almost 30 years old—was finally dating someone!

It felt as if the hog that they had reared for years finally learned how to graze flowers!

“Stan did not return home yesterday night!”

“He went out with a girl!”

“Sean told us himself, so it must be true!”

“What? Is the adopted child really his biological child?”

…

Stanley, who had played games for the entire night, exited the cybercafé with two dark circles. After he bade goodbye to Christine, he returned to the house that he shared with Sean, washed his face, and went to lie on the bed, looking as though he had spent his whole night with a lady under the sheets. I think I am getting old. I’m now almost 30 years old, so I can’t act perversely like how I used to. I used to be able to energetically head to class after playing games for the whole night, but now I can’t—I feel weakened after a few rounds of games.

After Stanley went home, he threw himself on the bed and started to catch up on his sleep.

He had given his all in an attempt to convince her to promote his cybercafé on Twitter.

When Stanley thought about it, Christine was a celebrity with a few millions fans, which mostly consisted of gamers. If she helped him to advertise his cybercafé, the conversion rate from her fans would be high. According to the normal business procedure, he had to spend a five to six-figure

advertising fee to place advertisements on Twitter, but he only spent a night playing games with her and treated her to a piece of bread with a can of coke—all for the total cost of only 6! I used 6 to do something that usually cost five to six figures! I’ve saved loads of money!

Other people played business card games, but he played ‘business games’. No, I won’t admit that it was because Christine has good skills and she aroused my fighting spirit, causing me to unknowingly play with her throughout the night. I was working—and really hard at it last night.

The company had recently branched out of the technology sector and established Dragon Technology. Cooper joined the company and was in charge of the shares while Stanley and Sean continued to focus on game development and game merchandise. To fulfill his own dream, Stanley even opened a large cybercafé, so he had spent a lot of money lately.

The cybercafé had more than 20,000 computers equipped with top configurations to provide the most comfortable experience for its users. Therefore, the world’s largest cybercafé was established using money!

Upon listening to the most recent financial report, Sean furrowed his brows. Recently, we have had to save as much money as possible; every penny counts…

“Sean, I’m not heading to the office today. Stand in for me; I have to catch up on some sleep.”

Stanley took a shower and lay on the bed to sleep, holding a cat in his arms to use it as his bolster.

With a thud, Maisie ran over and tugged him. “Papa, is it true that you went on a date last night?”

He mumbled, “Go away. A kid like you knows nothing. Let me sleep for a while and I will play with you later.”

“Okay,” Sean responded to Stanley before wearing his clothes and preparing to head to work like usual. I have to deal with company matters and watch a fashion show tomorrow.

The sleepy Stanley did not see Sean’s desolate expression.

As expected, he didn’t return home last night. Sean knew where Stanley went and did not hide the truth from the Fletcher Family when they came to ask.

Everyone from the Fletcher Family was overjoyed. Even if Stanley was only meeting a live streaming host and actor, they were satisfied as long as the person was a woman. Stanley will eventually take the right path, get married, and have kids.

“Maisie, I’m going to work. Be a good girl and get along well with Carmen, Hope and Poppy in the kindergarten. I’ll take you out to have some fun tomorrow!” Sean could not help but hug Maisie before leaving.

Maisie seemed to have noticed something—although Sean still looked the same, his eyes seemed to be filled with desolation.

Although she was at a tender age of three, she had experienced many tough situations in life. She was kidnapped from her parents and brought to Ronney City as a merchandise, where Sophia eventually brought her home and placed her under Sean’s care. As the young child was beaten a lot, she was a sensitive child since young and especially good at reading people’s body language.

Even though she now had two fathers who treated her well, she was still a considerate child and one who was more sensible than her peers. While looking at him, she held his hand and asked, “Daddy, Papa is dating someone. Does this mean that he doesn’t want us anymore?”

Her words seemed to give a huge blow to Sean’s heart. If Stanley is in a relationship, he will surely have his own family and children soon and it won’t be suitable for Maisie to follow him since it can be

inconvenient for him… Similarly, if he gets married, it won’t be convenient for him to continue to stay with me…
