My Dreamy Old Husband

Chapter 258

Talking about Sean, Michael expressed his regrets. “His father died at a young age and his mother remarried to another man. Since he was a boy, the Mitchells did not allow his mother to bring him away with her. Hence, he was forced to part ways with his mother. I guess that was when he started having a grudge.”

Sophia also let out a sigh. The couple then went down the stairs as they headed into the hotel.

Meanwhile, Nathan, who had been left behind at home, was holding onto a laptop as he walked to Villa Number 4 across the road in his pajamas.

Harry lived there, and he was playing video games at home at this moment. He still had some business to attend to later, but he was free at the moment. So, he decided to play a few rounds of games in the meantime.

With an upset look, Nathan keyed in the passcode before entering the house. When Harry saw him, he curiously asked, “Why are you here, Nate?”

Ever since Michael got married, he would return home to look after his wife and kid when he had some spare time, neglecting his bunch of good friends.

Nathan pouted. “Do you know how to play ‘Swordsman Game’?”

Feeling confused, Harry replied, “Yes.”

Nathan then switched on his laptop in Harry’s living room before starting the video game with a furious expression. “Come and play the game with me.”

Harry was baffled. He then went upstairs to take his own laptop while making his guesses. Nathan’s parents must have gone out for a date, leaving him alone at home.

He must be angry at being left alone. Nevertheless, this little kid knows how to play games? And the Swordsman Game to boot? Could he be one of those legendary ‘elementary student players’?

He was rather curious too, and he wanted to see for himself just how brilliant was this ‘elementary student player’. Published by Nôv'elD/rama.Org.

The two of them then started playing the video game in the living room. Sitting across each other, they were surrounded by junk food. After they had logged into the game, the duo put on their earphones.

“Nate, I’ll wait for you at the entrance of Stressfree Village on the Bayside server. Do you know the way?”

Putting on an expressionless face, Nathan answered, “Yes.”

Nathan headed to the entrance of Stressfree Village. The moment he arrived there, he stumbled across a character whom he despised—No. 1 Beast of the Server.

This character had been stirring up trouble in the game and had even bullied him, but his ‘father’, Sirius, told him that the competition was coming up, so he couldn’t fight the Beast for the time being. Thus, Nathan had been holding back against this scum.

On this day, Beast was here to mock him again. ‘Hey, isn’t this NateHiro? Where’s Daddy? Why isn’t Daddy here?’

NateHiro remained silent as he waited for his godfather to come and play the game with him.

Beast then purposely walked up to him. ‘Hey, you have quite an attitude, don’t you? Come, call me your brother! We’re considered a family!’

His in-game father was Scary Phoenix, while NateHiro’s in-game father was Sirius. Their fathers were married, so they were really considered as a family, or rather, a reconstituted family.

NateHiro suddenly pounced toward him without uttering a word and started giving Beast a beating.

Beast was forced to fight back too, but NateHiro seemed to be more powerful than him as it took him a lot of energy to fight back. While they were fighting, Harry said to Nathan who was sitting across him. “Son, I met a rival. Don’t come over first for the time being. Go to Rocky Pinnacle and wait for me there. I’ll be there in a second.”

If his godson found out that he was being beaten up so badly by his rival, he would be so embarrassed!

Without making a sound, Nathan beat Beast up swiftly until he was barely alive; this kid really seemed to be angry for being left alone at home.

After a bout of fighting, Beast, who was clearly not NateHiro’s match, left in a dejected manner. ‘Just you wait. I’ll ask my father to look for your father and seek revenge.’

Beast then fled to Rocky Pinnacle, but he must not let Nathan know that he had been beaten up. Otherwise, it would be so embarrassing for him as his godfather.

However, when he arrived at Rocky Pinnacle, Nathan was nowhere in sight. Instead, he saw NateHiro standing below Rocky Pinnacle, giving Beast a huge fright. Why won’t this guy just go away?

There were many people, so luckily, NateHiro did not see him. Keeping a low profile, Beast passed by the area as Harry told Nathan in real life, “Son, let’s meet at the small lake beside Rocky Pinnacle.”

Nathan was still silent, but he was heading toward the small lake.

When Beast reached the edge of the lake, he caught sight of NateHiro who was standing beside the lake again.

D*mn it! He really won’t go away!

Harry asked Nathan, “What’s your ID, Nate? I don’t see you. I’ll go and look for you!”

Still remaining expressionless, Nathan looked at the frustrated Harry as he slowly replied, “NateHiro.”

Harry abruptly lifted his head, looking as if he had seen a ghost.

The two of them exchanged glances and there was a heavy silence for a few seconds.

Why have I never realized that NateHiro is actually Nathan? This young kid knew how to play video games as well? Are all the elementary student players this remarkable now? He even found himself a father in the game? Wait, his father?? Could his father in the game possibly be…

As he thought about all the possibilities, Harry’s lips twitched.

Nathan finally knew that Harry was Beast too. The smart boy was immediately reminded of Harry’s in- game father who was mighty and domineering. Although he was reluctant to admit it, Scary Phoenix was indeed powerful, and he had even secretly wished that Scary Phoenix was his own in-game father, but without Sophia knowing it, of course.

Scary Phoenix, Taylor, Call Me Taylor… All those alternate names! The world of the adults is so complicated!

The engagement banquet on this night was so lively. Guests were arriving consecutively at the entrance, and famous celebrities also continuously showed up. A red carpet had also been specially prepared. There was even a signature wall where arriving guests had to leave a signature after walking the red carpet.

Sophia even seemed to have caught sight of those who had openly slandered Taylor recently, for example, Bethany and Nicholas. A film which the both of them had collaborated in was premiering on television stations, so the duo was now the nation’s favorite couple. The moment the couple made their appearance, countless fans shouted at the top of their lungs. The media also quickly took photos of them.

The two main stars of the engagement banquet were standing at the entrance, welcoming their guests. The two of them wore quite a matching attire, making them quite worthy of the praises that the others had been showering them.

Stanley and Sean also showed up at the red carpet.

Richard still doubted his eyes when he saw Stanley. He thought that Stanley wouldn’t come, but unexpectedly, he came and even brought a beautiful, blonde lady with him; it wasn’t Sophia.

Richard was more certain this time that Sophia and Stanley had really broken up. She did not have protection from the Fletchers anymore. Also, Stanley didn’t waste any time looking for a new girlfriend. Richard still did not believe it when he first heard that Stanley often brought a girl to cybercafes to play video games, but as he looked at Sean now, he finally believed it.

Haha! Sophia, you’re nothing without the protection from the Fletchers now. Richard was eager to see the look on Sophia’s face when she begged him to love her one more time.

Stanley and Sean then walked past the red carpet. The media didn’t know who they were, but the guests who had been invited to the engagement banquet by the Harpers were surely not any ordinary people. Thus, they started frantically taking photos of them.

Stanley put on a smug smile as he stood on the red carpet for a few seconds. He purposely posed for the cameras while Sean held his hand, posing with him as well.

The two of them then went to the signature wall and wrote down their names.

When Richard saw Sean writing his own family name, he was immediately filled with respect.

Mitchell. He’s from the Mitchell Family! Since she’s together with Stanley, she’s surely not just an ordinary member of the Mitchell Family. Indeed, Sophia had been brutally ditched. This Mitchell must now be Stanley’s official girlfriend.
