Ch. 1501..1503: [Finale]

My Dreamy Old Husband Chapter 1501

The entire household was stunned into silence, and Cooper nearly fainted from the news. Since then, Bailey would always get a cut on his tongue every other day, until Carmen took off her braces. During those days, Cooper was always on the ready to confront Bailey for his actions, while Linus urged his team to speed up the process of developing a thermostatic condom that could ensure painless sexual intercourse. In the meantime, Sophia just seemed happy about it.

Soon enough, the ladies’ ball happened on schedule, garnering the attention of all the ladies. It was an important day for the Fletchers, as it was Carmen’s coming-of-age party. Sophia was bawling her eyes out over the occasion. According to Michael, Sophia gave birth to Carmen in a town in Africa. She was not only scrawny, but also a sickly child, so she nearly lost her life due to poor medical conditions there.

It took Michael a lot of effort to raise her. In a flash, she was already all grown up. She was only six when her father was put into cryogenic sleep. Twelve years passed in the blink of an eye, and she was now eighteen years old; that also meant that Michael had been away for twelve years. Carmen opened the present in the time capsule that Michael gave her, and the expired lipstick in it was the present he prepared for his daughter when she came of age.

“Alright, don’t cry. Your father will be back sooner or later.” Anna put the lipstick away while comforting her gently. Meanwhile, Carmen wiped her tears away before forcing a smile. It was her big day, so she was determined to be the most gorgeous lady present for the occasion.

On Carmen’s eighteenth birthday, Anna Yard was the one who personally helped with her makeup, while Sophia did her hair. Both of them were also in charge of picking out her outfit and accessories. While Carmen was being prepped, Casper was pacing in the living room of their house in excitement.

After all, he was her partner for the night. Due to the fact that Cooper picked him for the position, Bailey couldn’t actually complain about it. Meanwhile, Casper was rubbing his hands in anticipation, figuring that his training in ballroom dancing all those years was all worth it. Poppy, Audrey, and Maisie would

be attending the ball as well, so they came early to Sophia’s house to prepare themselves. On the other hand, Nathan, Hope, and Ashton were also present as their respective partners.

The ball was held at a hotel owned by Audistin Group. It was the most luxurious hotel in all of Bayside City, so the ball would definitely be exceptional. As the ball’s host, Ronney Group and Bayside Fashion Society showed off their exceptional tastes, which was evident in the fact that every single corner of the venue was lavishly and elegantly decorated.

Most of the guests were already present before the ball even began, as nobody dared to be late for such an important occasion. All of the guests were screened to determine their level of wealth, character and outward appearance; those who didn’t meet the standards were not invited. Therefore, the female guests were all beautiful in their own way, and they were all paired up to form exquisite couples with the equally outstanding male guests. The ball had yet to begin, so the orchestra was playing some soft music as warm up while the people chatted in hushed voices in groups.

“Has Miss Fletcher arrived?”

“Of course not! Even Mrs. Fletcher and Mrs. Yard had yet to arrive!”

“I’m curious about her appearance!”

“Rumor has it that Bailey Adams, the president of Adams Group, as well as Nathan Fletcher, the president of Asco International, will also be here! I’m looking forward to their appearance!”

Kimberly and a few rich ladies were talking in hushed voices, feeling rather elated that a lot of prominent figures would be present. On the other hand, Flynn remained quiet as he was still missing Carmen, who unfortunately had been replaced as his girlfriend by Kimberly.

By mobilizing her family’s connections, Kimberly was able to get him to join the ball as her partner. There were a lot of prestigious people present for the occasion, including male guests who were

members of royal families. Bailey Adams, whom Flynn didn’t manage to meet, would also be there, so he could seize the opportunity to connect to people of status.

Carmen won’t be able to provide me with such an opportunity. He took a sip out of his wine to forget the feelings of bitterness within him while he admitted his defeat. I don’t belong to Carmen, nor is the opposite possible, as we belong to two different worlds.

All of a sudden, there was a commotion in the hall as the hosts from Ronney Group showed up. Anna Yard and Cooper Mitchell were the ones to show up first, whereas Sophia Edwards and Linus Michel followed behind.

They’re here! The crowd moved in their direction with anticipation in their minds.

The main protagonist will be here soon!

The girl who has a net worth of hundreds of billions, as well as being the heir of prestigious families including the Mitchell Family, the Fletcher Family, the Yard Family and the Michel Family will soon show up!

She is definitely on the top of the pyramid among all the ladies in Bayside City!

Rumors had it that she was among the first batch of female students of Eton College. She was also said to have obtained her doctoral degree when she was sixteen. Other than that, she was also rumored to have eidetic memory, as well as having accumulated a large amount of wealth despite her young age.

She was the daughter of Academy Award winner Taylor Murray and the lady of Ronney Group, Sophia Edwards. Her paternal grandfather was a decorated officer, while her maternal grandfather was an arms dealer equipped with nuclear bombs. Also, her maternal grandmother was the president of Ronney Group, whose products were well received among women.

The ball would be her first ever public appearance. In the meantime, Kimberly followed the crowd, hoping to catch a glimpse of the girl’s face as well. She had been fantasizing about talking to the Supreme Heir, which was a name the public referred to the girl as. Having even a word with someone like her would be something that Kimberly could brag about for years to come.

After much anticipation, the main protagonist made her appearance. The lighting created an atmosphere of a wonderland while the mist created by the dry ice hovered above ground. A moment later, a pair of high heels adorned with diamonds parted the floating mist.

The hem of the girl’s soft and classy dress swayed according to her light footsteps. It had a certain weight to it as it flowed in accordance to her movements, while its every curve exuded an air of elegance and mystery. Then, a girl in a light-coloured gown emerged as the music played.

The gown was adorned with flawlessly positioned diamonds, while every single wrinkle was immaculately folded into place, with roses being sewn into them. The hem of her dress was layered with lace that swayed with elegance. The dress left a large part of her chest area exposed, revealing her exquisite collarbones, which gave her a cute yet sexy look, while the light color of the dress further accentuated her fair skin. She wasn’t wearing any jewelry, and her raven hair reached down to the fair skin on her chest. The contrasting colors worked even better than any jewelry.

Some among the crowd still had their gazes fixed upon the girl’s raven black hair, while the others had laid eyes on her face. She was a young girl with fair skin and immaculate features that was adorned with a smile that lit up her entire face. Also, she had large eyes, red lips and rosy cheeks, while her pointed chin had an elegant curve to it. Her skin was adorned with light makeup that she wore like a thin layer of veil that covered her face.

While Kimberly was among the crowd who exclaimed about the girl’s beauty and her semblance to Taylor Murray, Flynn gasped, for he had already recognized her as Carmen Fletcher at first glance.

However, nobody heard his low cry, as their words of praise soon drowned his voice out.

“She really is Taylor Murray’s daughter! She looks so beautiful, and my goodness, her elegance is out of this world!”

“Of course! She is Anna Yard’s granddaughter and Sophia Edwards’ daughter after all! And look at that dress! I heard that it has been tailor-made for her by Ronney Group since ages ago, just so that she would one day come of age and wear it!”

“Look at her partner beside him; the dark-haired one. If my guess is correct, he should be Casper. He is the young master of the Levine Family, and his mother is Alice Michel, who is the developer of the Michel Group’s Dragon Eye mobile phones!”

Meanwhile, Casper held Carmen while standing beside her, dressed in a black suit himself, acting as her companion for the night. They looked like a great match, which was a sight that left Flynn completely dumbstruck. Michael Fletcher, Sophia Edwards, Carmen Fletcher, Gianna Michel! She is the Supreme Heir that everybody was talking about!

My Dreamy Old Husband Chapter 1502

Unfortunately, the perfect girl, Gianna, no longer was Carmen Fletcher, the girl wearing spectacles, as well as the daughter of a security guard who would help him with his assignments. In fact, she didn’t even notice him, as loads of male guests who were far more outstanding than him had already crowded in on her, blocking her from his view.

All of a sudden, someone let out an astonished cry. “Bailey Adams is here too!”

Lifting his head, Flynn saw the man whose appearance was as striking as ever even among the crowd. Bailey looked like royalty while wearing an expensive tailor-made suit. He had an air of grandiose that made everybody seem diminished in comparison. With a mysterious gaze in his emerald eyes, he looked like a prince that was depicted in classical paintings.

As soon as he arrived, he was surrounded by the male guests, so Flynn couldn’t even get close to him. When he finally managed to catch a glimpse of Bailey’s face from afar, he immediately recognized the latter as the international student who enrolled through the STHEE program, whom he saw eating at the hawker stall with Carmen. So he’s Bailey Adams. Flynn’s heart sank in dejection as soon as he saw Bailey.

So Carmen and I are from different worlds after all, and it wasn’t only because of our familial background. Flynn stood in a corner in abjection before suddenly laughing in a self-deprecating manner. He turned around to look for Kimberly, only to find her still actively trying to approach Carmen in an attempt to strike up a conversation with her. Never in her wildest dreams had she expected the girl to be Carmen Fletcher, the daughter of a security guard whom she despised.

After Bailey entered the venue, he didn’t even spare a glance at the other ladies present for the occasion, save for Carmen, the girl who was the center of attention. As the main protagonist who made her appearance after everybody else, the ball began after Carmen showed up.

She led the first dance with Casper, who moved in a coquettish manner throughout the entire dance due to how elated he was. After the first dance, some of the guests left the floor to get some rest, while others continued dancing after switching partners. Casper was forced to let go of Carmen after that and wait for the next dance on the sidelines as he shouldn’t be clinging to her throughout the occasion.

Although a lot of male guests intended to step forth, one man skidded in before anybody else could to invite Carmen to the next dance. Carmen was smiling, but unlike her usual boisterous demeanor, she was elegant and demure when she gently set her gloved palm down on his before stepping on the dance floor with him to dance along to the soothing music.

While the first dance was slightly more intense, the music for the second dance was more relaxing, so the dance steps got slower. With a smile on her face, Carmen had her hand on Bailey’s shoulder. Having removed her braces, her teeth looked neat and delicate.

“Why are you smiling?” Bailey asked.

“It’s nothing.” Carmen was still smiling as she replied. Her eyes twinkled as she did so, and reflected in it was Bailey’s face. Similarly, he was dressed to the nines. While he had no qualms sitting by the street in a cheap down jacket, enjoying some grilled meat with Carmen, he could also be as elegant as a prince, dancing with her in a suit that was worth millions.

In the meantime, Cooper was mulling in silence, irritated by the fact that none of the young men he sent undercover to intercept Bailey succeeded in doing so. However, just when he turned his attention elsewhere, both Bailey and Carmen were gone from the dance floor in an instant.

“Bailey, where are you leading me to?” Carmen followed behind Bailey, who didn’t stop until they reached the balcony on the second floor of the hotel. Along the way, her requests to have him explain the abrupt shift in his behavior fell on deaf ears.

As soon as they arrived at the balcony, Bailey turned to slam the door shut, making them both the sole occupants in the space, which made Carmen nervous. She had officially turned eighteen, so they could legally enjoy certain activities that were limited to adults, such as…

Without further ado, Bailey retrieved an intricate box from his bag. The moment he popped it open, he got down on one knee to present to her a diamond ring. Earnestly, he proposed to her. “I can wait no longer. I must ask for your hand in marriage the moment you turn eighteen.”

Staring at the diamond ring, Carmen was dumbfounded by his proposal. I-Isn’t this too soon? We only ever held hands and kissed, so shouldn’t a proposal happen much later?

However, Bailey didn’t feel that it was happening too soon, as he had been waiting for years. Time seemed to drag on when he was waiting, so when she finally grew into an adult, he could wait no longer. Therefore, he was determined to propose to her. He needed her to know his feelings.

On the other hand, Carmen was startled by the unfolding of events. Since it was her first time ever being proposed to, she wasn’t sure how she should handle the situation. Both of them had yet to experience a heart-wrenching parting, nor did they get to reconcile after a misunderstanding. They had yet to go on a trip on a hot air balloon, during which he would forcefully kiss her, nor did he confess his feelings to her when they reached the top of a Ferris wheel ride. Is this all there is before he proposes? Isn’t this a little too simple and bland? Where are all the dramatic and unforgettable moments?

Seemingly in a hurry, Bailey egged her on. “We don’t have time.”

Sure enough, Cooper was already knocking on the door from outside as soon as he said so. Carmen was even more at a loss of what to do upon hearing the rapid knocks, so she made her decision on impulse. “Okay, I will marry you!”

Being relieved of a major burden, a smile bloomed on Bailey’s face as he stood abruptly to hold her in his arms, spinning her around for a bit. His successful proposal made that day the happiest day in his

life ever since his parents passed away, while Carmen’s coming-of-age party also reached a perfect consummation. Meanwhile, it was already all too late for Cooper when he finally got the keys to open the door, as Bailey already succeeded in proposing to Carmen.

“Is that all? Is that the end of the story?”

A year later in the hospital, Michael, who was resuscitated after fainting from the shock of hearing the news of his supposedly six-year-old daughter’s pregnancy and childbirth, was listening to the whole story from Sophia while holding his emerald-eyed grandchild. Is that all? Are you kidding me? He pressed for more details. “What about the most important part of the story?”

“That’s all! What else were you expecting? Do you want them to go through all those dramatic yet excruciatingly painful processes as seen in cliche romance novels? Isn’t it great that they got together without a hitch?” Sophia questioned, but nonetheless had a look of admiration on her face.

Michael was utterly baffled by the outcome. The fact that his daughter had slept with Bailey at the tender age of eighteen was mind-boggling. “What happened after the proposal? Did you not stop them? Did our fathers not stop them?” Michael wanted to wail due to the abject grief he felt.

“Of course they did, since we all agreed that Carmen shouldn’t be getting married so soon. Besides, she only agreed to marry him; it doesn’t mean that they planned to hold the wedding immediately,” Sophia answered.“Then how did they conceive their son?” Feeling all anxious, Michael wished he could travel back in time to stop them.

“Well, they slept together after that,” Sophia replied.

Michael inhaled sharply. Just like that? Why does she sound so nonchalant about it? My daughter was only six years old when she slept with a twenty-year-old guy! As her mother, shouldn’t she have stopped her?

“Times have changed. Besides, the kids are all grown up now, so isn’t it normal to have desires? Don’t you worry, as I gave her detailed guidance beforehand, as well as showed her educational videos to teach her more about sex,” Sophia explained.

Michael’s face blanched, wanting to just faint once more. However, Sophia went on. “Linus even developed a condom that helps relieve the pain, as well as increase the pleasure one experiences during sexual intercourse. It will also alert the users if it detects a virus. Besides, Bailey did a checkup beforehand to ensure that he was clean. I also told him to be careful so as to not hurt Carmen before I agreed to let them have sex.”

There was a livid expression on Michael’s already pale face. Has the world undergone so much transformation during the past ten years when I was asleep? Why would a mother allow her six-year- old daughter to sleep with someone else?

Meanwhile, Sophia continued to explain, “Carmen is already grown up, so her sexual desires can be unstoppable. You can’t just stop them when they’re so infatuated with each other, can you? Therefore, I figured I should make sure to instill in her the right values so that she was able to protect herself. Worry not, as I had checked on Carmen the day after. She wasn’t bleeding anywhere, as Bailey had been careful not to hurt her. Not only was she not in pain, but the experience was very pleasant.”

P-Pleasant? Michael stared at Sophia in disbelief, as if she was a stranger. After confirming that she did say those words, his eyes rolled over before he fainted once again.

My Dreamy Old Husband Chapter 1503

In fact, Michael would rather that he didn’t wake up from his cryogenic sleep. This is madness… He only remembered taking a nap with his daughter while on the plane, only to wake up to her being married to a twenty-year-old man and having a baby with that man.

When Michael was once again resuscitated, he opened his eyes only to see Sophia explaining herself with reddened eyes and an aggrieved look on her face. “Carmen is all grown up, so I can’t stop her from sleeping with someone else if she so wishes to. Besides, she could easily meet up with Bailey behind my back even if I separated them. So instead of allowing her to go rampant and be scarred by the experience, I figured I could lend her my wisdom so that she could avoid making certain mistakes, as well as enjoy the experience while she was at it.”

In the meantime, Michael was lying flat on bed as well as wearing an oxygen mask, but he still looked like he could faint at any moment. I shouldn’t have gone into cryogenic sleep. One never knows what kind of world he will wake up to. No longer intent to know the specifics of Carmen and Bailey’s night out, he wanted to know how the child was conceived. “Fine. We’ll skip that part. Tell me how the child was conceived.” He wheezed.

After a few sobs, Sophia wiped her tears away before continuing, “You’ll have to blame Linus for that. Although his team developed a thermostatic smart condom that regulates temperature, relieves pain, as well as warns the users of viruses, they didn’t take into consideration the stiffness of the user’s erection, so Bailey tore it. Thus, the preventative measure ended up failing.”

It tore. Michael’s eyes were wide as his mind repeated the words. No, I heard nothing! That can’t be true! I must still be in cryogenic sleep! This is all fake! This is all but an illusion!

Meanwhile, Sophia comforted her grandson while holding him in her arms. “Although I gave Carmen some contraceptive pills after that, it’s not foolproof, so she ended up getting pregnant after that first time. I accompanied her on a checkup, and the results showed that she had twins! After some

discussion, my family agreed that an abortion would hurt Carmen. Besides, the babies are absolutely adorable, so it’d be a pity if we abort them! Carmen and Bailey also wanted kids, so in the end, we decided that she should give birth to the babies. Later on, we had them registered as a married couple, deciding to host the wedding ceremony once you regained consciousness.”

Hearing that, Michael shot up from the bed in bewilderment. “Twins? Where is the other one?”

With that, Carmen brought in another child before him, all the while pouting, feeling aggrieved. “I was scared that the news might come as too much of a shock to you, so I decided I should only show you one of them in the beginning, and show you the second one once you accept the reality. By the way, the second one is also a boy!”

As soon as Carmen said that, the second baby opened his emerald eyes to stare at Michael. The two of them—with their contrasting eye colors—locked eyes for a long while. In fact, Michael was sent back not long after he regained consciousness in order to give Sophia a surprise on her birthday. He was still recovering, but his vitals were all normal, so he would make a full recovery after spending some time recuperating.

His organs were repaired and reconstructed using cutting-edge technology, so he didn’t receive an organ transplant from a donor. Therefore, he was physically young and healthy. He hid himself in the gaps of spacetime to avoid death’s embrace. In the end, he was reborn anew.

After that, everybody except for Sophia left the ward. With his grandsons sleeping on both sides of him, his mind was all muddled up as he tried his best to accept the cold, harsh reality. Meanwhile, Sophia was lying beside him while drawing circles on his chest. “Darling, you need to recover quickly. We missed you a lot.”

Three months later, the five generations of the huge family were gathered happily together in Villa No. 8 of The Imperial. Mark Fletcher, who was still alive and kicking, held in his arms junior Bailey with a

broad smile on his face, while Louis was also all smiles as he held the other junior Bailey.

Michael was staring at Bailey hostilely. “Mr. Bailey, pardon me, but I’ll make sure to cut you up into pieces if you get any closer to my daughter!” He held a chilly gaze while asserting his presence. All of a sudden, there was a fierceness about him.

However, Bailey only gave him a smirk. “Haha, I don’t think you have any say in this, Mr. Fletcher.”

On the contrary, Cooper seemed to side with Bailey, as he began chiding Michael. “You should keep your mouth shut! The kids know what they’re doing!”

Although Michael seemed to have backed down, he was still glaring at Bailey. Without warning, Louis, who was the eldest of the in-laws, put on a stern look on his face while lecturing Cooper, “My grandson- in-law had just woken up from a cryogenic sleep, so he’s still recuperating! Can’t you be nicer to him?”

Cooper also seemed to have backed down, but was still in fact staring daggers at Michael. There was a momentary silence before Michael started bickering with Bailey again. “My daughter was only eighteen years old, so how dare you! Just you wait! Someday, I’ll make sure to cut you up into pieces!”

Unexpectedly, Cooper lashed out at him as soon as he spoke. With a quirky tone, Cooper sneered, “This is your karma for buying my eighteen-year-old daughter over at a price of eighty thousand!”

With that, Michael deflated. However, Cooper didn’t get to enjoy his victory for long. He suddenly noticed Louis’ menacing stare, which in turn deflated him, as Anna was also pregnant with Sophia when she was eighteen.

Since Bailey and Carmen were registered as a couple, Bailey decided to take Carmen with him to form their own family. In order to provide their children with a better living environment, he bought a large

house in the western suburbs. He bought a mansion with a courtyard that was located near educational resources, all the while ensuring that it had a safe and clean environment.

Michael’s heart went with Carmen, so he would always go for a stroll at the western suburbs between breakfast and work. Since there would be heavy traffic on the way to the western suburbs, he went on the subway. Not only did he need to travel on the jam-packed subways, coming out of it all disheveled, but he even risked being harassed by old women due to his young appearance, all for the sake of checking on Carmen.

Just like a searchlight, he arrived on time every day, as if fearing that Bailey would mistreat Carmen in any way. One day, no longer able to tolerate Michael’s constant visits, Bailey spat in a foul mood, “It won’t do to have you travel across such a long distance every day. Why don’t you move in with us?”

Although it was intended as a sarcastic remark, Michael did as told. He moved in with his own family within a span of two hours, which annoyed Bailey. A similar occurrence seemed to have replayed itself on a different occasion.

However, it was fortunate that Michael still had Sophia with him. With his life starting anew, there were a lot of things that he needed to accomplish. He had a lot of dreams that he had yet to realize, such as shooting a movie to announce his comeback, as well as spending the rest of his life with Sophia in order to make up for the thirteen years he lost.
