Chapter 298


    Harry had the biggest reaction. “No wonder you’ve stopped smoking and drinking alcoholtely. You’ve


    even stopped consuming exotic animals! It’s fine if you alone quit smoking and drinking—why should we


    apany you by stopping too?!”


    Michael answered him, “Because I say so. Don’t eat if you don’t like it.”


    He then picked up his chopsticks to have a mouthful of vegetables. He nced at Sophia beside him,


    who was blushing while keeping her head bowed. Her face is flushed red, and she looks so adorable.


    Then, he poured another ss of milk for her. “Here, have some milk.”


    Sophia was too embarrassed to look at others, and so she drank her milk while keeping her head bowed.


    No wonder Michael has been going to bed and waking up early these days. He has been drinking


    wolfberry-infused water, and he even stopped smoking and drinking alcohol. Besides, he has been


    working out every day; it turns out he is preparing for our pregnancy. Eh! I am still a child, and I’m not


    prepared for that! However, it seems like a good life experience to have a child with my idol. What


    should I name my baby in the future?


    The rest of the single men at the table started eating as well. Nevertheless, the table full of nutritious


    dishes suited for pregnancy preparation tasted like sour grapes.


    In the end, Michael’s feast of celebrating him losing his virginity ended smoothly. After dinner, the Power


    Trio chatted in the living room. Michael eventually took out a bottle of red wine from his wine cer to


    serve his guests. There was a bottle of wine and a bottle of milk on the table. Two of the three wine


    sses with long stems had red wine, whereas the other one was filled with milk.


    The three of them clinked sses while watching a recent film sample. Michael was holding the wine


    ss while swirling the milk in the ss, presenting the elegance of drinking wine.


    Sophia was observing in secret while hiding in a dark spot.


    Ah, my idol is so handsome. He could even bring out such elegance while drinking milk, as if he were


    drinking a ss of red wine.


    She did not disturb the three men since they were deep in conversation. Hence, she stayed in her study


    while doing her assignment in silence.


    Stanley stole half a ss of Lafite and a 20-year-old Fiery Red from the wine cer. He even filled up half


    the empty mineral water bottle he had with him before hiding it in his dog poo bag to take it home.


    After stealing some alcohol, he snuck into Sophia’s study to see that she was doing her assignment. He


    checked his breath to make sure that he wasn’t reeking of alcohol, and then he approached her while


    asking, “Are you really going to make a baby with my uncle?”


    Sophia was solving some questions together with Nathan, and she was flipping a page while answering


    him, “Mm-hmm.”


    Stanley started brainwashing her immediately. “Giving birth is extremely painful. Besides, you will age ten


    years if you give birth to another naughty boy like Nathan!”


    “Who are you calling a naughty boy?” Nathan was so angry that he threw his pen away.


    In all honesty, Sophia was not prepared to give birth to a child because she merely wanted to study.


    However, Michael seemed to be well prepared in that department.


    Stanley got closer to her. “Let me tell you. My uncle is an actor. Do you understand what an actor does?


    He is the best at acting; don’t you know that he’s had you fooled and wrapped around his finger?”


    The incident with the game was an example. After mulling over what happened from the beginning to the


    end, Stanley broke into a cold sweat out of fear.


    I have always known that Sophia has a wife in the game, named ‘Call Me Taylor’. I thought the name


    seemed familiar when I first saw it.


    Later, I realized with a start that it was Michael’s female character in the game! Taylor Murray is ‘Call Me


    Taylor’! He has been pretending to be a woman in the game all this while! He even lied to Sophia by


    iming that he doesn’t know how to y games! He’s really gotten her fooled!


    I can’t endure it any longer, seeing as Sophia has been lied to for such a long time. I have decided to


    pluck up my courage to expose Michael’s true colors. He won the singles category in the first Esports


    World Championship! He is also the secret owner of multiple gamingpanies! He is also ‘Scary


    Phoenix’ and ‘Call Me Taylor’!


    Stanley grabbed Sophia tightly by her shoulders, and he broke the silence gravely. “Sophie, you have to


    listen to me. My uncle is—”


    Ring, ring…


    Stanley’s phone started ringing, and he noticed that it was a text message when he checked. Upon


    reading the text, Stanley was shocked to his core. ‘Do you want to be permanently banned from the


    game?’


    The overbearing aura was almost suffocating.


    Suddenly, Stanley felt like someone was strangling his neck. He felt suffocated, and he was trembling


    from head to toe. He ran downstairs with his phone in his hand.


    “I’m going home.”


    Sophia thought that something had happened to his family. Hence, she turned around to continue with


    her assignment questions.


    Stanley dashed to the living hall and held onto the leg of the big boss who was seated on the couch. He


    cried his eyes out while looking pitiful. “Uncle, I was wrong. I will never dare to repeat my mistakes again.


    I won’t dare to have ideas about Aunt Sophia again. I know it’s my fault! I’m begging you not to ban me


    from the game, please!”


    For someone like him, who yed Esports, there was nothing more horrible and cruel than being banned


    from a game. It was equivalent to Doom’s Day!


    I spent endless effort and countless money to build a character. Once it’s banned, I’d have nothing left. In


    reality, if a property has been dered worthless, it is possible to make good use of waste materials.


    However, once the assets within a game are sealed, the expenditure would be in vain, and there would


    be nothing left for the yer.


    It just so happened that Michael was the big boss in charge of the game behind the scenes, and so he


    could ban Stanley anytime effortlessly.


    Previously, Michael had been reprimanding Stanley on a small scale. However, the mention of banning


    his ount proved that he was truly angered now!


    Michael held the stem of the wine ss while swirling the milk elegantly. His legs were folded, and he


    broke the silence suddenly. “Take your stupid dog with you and get lost.”


    Stanley took his stupid dog and left hastily.


    The game is more important! There is no doubt that the game is more important! Love and feelings can


    come after.


    After escaping from The Imperial, Stanley felt as though he had just escaped the jaws of death.


    In the past year, after getting married and bing a father, Michael has be much gentler than


    before. I almost forgot that he is actually even scarier than Joel.


    There were many night joggers nearby. Stanley held onto his dog’s leash while making his way out of


    The Imperial, and he bumped into Quinton once he left the gates. Quinton was not in the same faculty as


    Stanley, but they were quite close since Stanley was always dropping by Sophia’s ss. Furthermore, he


    and Nathan had been inviting Quinton to help Sophia with her studies.


    “Hey, Professor rk! Are you out for a night jog?!”


    Quinton was wearing a full sports attire with a backpack. He jogged into The Imperial while answering


    him, “Mm-hmm, I am here to send some revision materials for Sophia. The mid-term exams are just


    around the corner, and Sophia has been missing a lot of sses.”


    The guard let Quinton in without even asking any questions when they saw him. It was obvious that even


    the guards knew him.


    Stanley nced at the ‘No entry for Joe Edwards, Stanley Fletcher, and the dog’ card while ncing


    at Quinton, who had permission toe and go as he pleased. Stanley couldn’t help but pout unhappily


    while sighing his discontentment.


    I can’t evenpare to a lecturer nor a dog.


    Stanley walked away with the dog gloomily. However, he felt goosebumps all over his body after taking a


    few steps forward.


    As a retired military member, he was extremely alert to his surroundings, and so he knew that someone


    was observing him from the dark.


    Stanley scanned his surroundings, and with his keen senses, he found the source of the surveince. It


    was the ck Mazda across the road.N?velD(ram)a.?rg owns this content.


    It seems like Joe isn’t giving up!


    I am suddenly curious about Joe’s reaction if he finds out that his so-called old and ugly son-inw is in


    fact my uncle.
