My Dreamy Old Husband
Chapter 817

Michael's picture on the cover was extremely handsome. He looked more mature and wiser than he used to be, and his eyes were filled with vicissitudes of life. It was as if he could see through you, and it was easy to lose yourself in those charming eyes.

His exclusive interview occupied several pages and it included what he had been doing after his retirement and an apology to his fans.

Michael's words were printed in the magazine: “Three years ago, a catastrophic disaster caused me to lose everything. In despair, I chose to retire. Three years later, I found hope again so I chose to make a comeback because the one who likes me is always here.’

The sentence “the one who likes me’ seemed to refer to the fans who had been missing him. However, Sophia had a feeling that Michael was referring to her.

Sophia learned a lot about the details of the accident that happened three years ago. At that time, in order to hold Michael back, Quinton deliberately revealed Michael's position in the shopping mall and caused his crazy fans to surround him. Michael was stuck in the stairwell and had to watch Sophia being taken away by Quinton.

Then, a killer who was lurking among the fanatics cut Michael with a knife laced with poison. Michael wouldn't have survived if it weren't for his good health and was rushed to the hospital in time.

Until now, everytime the anniversary of the accident came round, a large number of fans would miss him more than usual and blamed themselves for their recklessness.

If Michael had quit the entertainment industry because of this, it was reasonable and fans would forgive him. Sophia was looking at the magazine when Carmen's head poked out from under her arm and she asked urgently, “Is my name in there? Did daddy mention me?”

Sophia replied, “The main focus of this issue is your daddy so your name is not in here, but you'll be in them next time.”

Carmen was a little disappointed. All of a sudden, Sarah said, “Hey, it's time! Hurry up and take out the telescope!”

Hearing this, Sophia hurriedly put down the magazine in her hands and pulled out the telescope. Then, she turned to look at the big screen in the distance. In fact, they could see everything clearly without any tools but she didn't want to miss a single detail.

The three children also leaned on the glass window and watched.

At twelve on a Sunday afternoon, the big screen, on which would cost tens of thousands to place a one-minute advertisement, suddenly turned black. A few seconds later, a cloud of flames rolled across the screen. It was a brand new advertisement that no one had ever seen before, and many people in the square stopped to watch.

The cloud of flames rolled and gradually formed a phoenix rising from the ashes. It hovered in the sky for a while and with a clear cry, it dived to the ground into a ball of flames again. Then, a man slowly walked out of the blazing fire.

Sparks of fire on the slender figure slowly dissipated. The man wore business clothing from L/K's new summer collection, and he looked handsome and casual as he slowly stepped forward.

The man's face gradually got clearer and his youthful look gradually faded away. He still had a handsome appearance but he looked more solemn due to the challenges he had experienced in life. However, there were a few things that stayed the same—his resolute gaze and the elegance that was in his bones.

At that moment, it was as if Taylor Murray was making an announcement to the world. I'm back. Many people could be seen in the square. Even after the advertisement ended, they were still staring at the big screen. Taylor Murray was a man whose name was often associated with the word “regret’. He was the first actor in Cethos who won the Academy Award, the man who appeared in most of the greatest movies of Cethos, and the man who died three years ago for a well-known reason.

Many fans cried in despair and many filmmakers cried in regret over his death. Even though he had been gone for three years, nobody could break the box office record set by his film. He represented an era and he was a myth. But now, the man had silently made a return without any warning.

It was as if Imperial Entertainment, L/K, and several media outlets seemed to have made an agreement in advance. While the advertisement was playing, all of them announced the news of Taylor's return. Furthermore, the movie that he didn't finish filming three years ago was officially named “The National Treasury Action’, and it was scheduled to be released simultaneously worldwide.

The citizens of Cethos and the whole world were shocked! It turned out that he was not dead. Many fans in the square instantly burst into tears when they found out about Taylor's return. After Sophia finished watching the advertisement, tears welled up in her eyes too

He is so perfect. Its like he was born to be admired.

After they watched the advertisement, everyone wanted more. They turned on their phones and saw that the advertisement had been posted on the Internet so they watched it again. After watching it, Maddie rested her chin on her hand and she looked obsessed. “Miss Taylor is amazing! To be honest with you, I grew up watching his movies!”

.. Why does it feel strange to hear this sentence?

Sophia frowned and felt that this sentence was a little inappropriate.

Then, Maddie asked, “Miss Taylor is not short of money. Why do you think he's making a comeback to the industry?”

Before Sarah could answer, Carmen, who was in Sophia's arms, jumped and said, “My daddy said that if he doesn't continue to make movies, mommy will have nothing to watch anymore!”

Sophia blushed and said, “Nonsense. The reason your daddy made a comeback is to earn your kindergarten tuition fee!”

However, everybody knew the real reason. Taylor returned to film because she had returned!

They were laughing and chatting happily when Sophia's phone suddenly rang. It was a call from Michael. As soon as the call was connected, Michael's raspy and sexy voice could be heard.

"Have you seen my advertisement and exclusive interview? What do you think?”

The corners of Sophia’s lips curled upward unconsciously and turned into a sweet smile. She was in a really good mood. Holding the phone in one hand, she poked the matcha cake in front of her with a fork with the other.

"What do you think? It's been a long time since I've been on screen so I'm a little rusty. Did I do well?”

Sophia smiled and replied, “Well... from a fan's perspective, you did pretty good. Keep up the good work.”

“By the way, the time for Carmen to meet the crew has been set. They arranged a few scenes for her for The National Treasury Action’, and the filming process will be finished in two days. Let her try some shots and I will guide her personally...”

After finishing the seafood lunch that Maddie paid for, Sophia and Sarah went home together with their children. Not long after Sophia returned home, showered, changed and went downstairs to prepare for dinner, Michael came. He was wearing a white shirt that was clean and crisp and it made him look really young. Youth wasn't defined by the skin on your face, but by the youthful feeling that came from the bones. For Michael, he was youthful inside out. He was holding the script and talking to Cooper about Carmen's scenes.

“Carmen will only have a few shots. The first scene will be set in ancient times. Carmen will be acting as a civilian child living in the capital of one of the dynasties. She sees the enemy breaking into the city but is still too young to understand what is going on. Her innocence will be a contrast to the enemy's guns and cannons. The second scene will be set in a modern museum. An actress will carry Carmen to the museum to see the “Imperial seal’ and tell its story to her, which symbolizes that the future generations will remember this period of history.”

While Cooper was reading the script, Michael winked at Sophia and Sophia winked back at him. It was as if they were secretly dating...
