Chapter 517
After they finished watching the singingpetition and found out that Chester was the champion,
Stanley held onto Michael and anxiously asked, “Uncle, why don’t you get on reality shows? You know
how to sing and dance. If you get on reality shows, you’ll definitely overshine them. You’ll even get to
earn high appearance fees!”
Sophia also looked forward to seeing Michael on a reality or variety show. He made his debut as a leader
of a young group more than ten years ago and he was the lead singer and the lead dancer.
Unfortunately, many of the videos from that period couldn’t be found.
Michael hadn’t sang or danced in more than ten years. These days, in order to seed in the
entertainment industry, not only did the stars have to have beautiful looks, but they also had to look
exquisite.
Stars with exquisite looks can get on big screens while stars with more ordinary looks can only appear in
variety shows and have small roles in TV series. However, that shouldn’t stop Michael from getting on
variety shows! Sophia was a huge fan of Michael’s and when she quarreled with other fan groups, the
other fan groups usual replies were, ‘your idol doesn’t have any endorsements’, ‘your idol has never
appeared on variety shows’, ‘your idol is bad at making friends and nobody talks to him on Twitter’.
Whenever she was faced with their insults, she didn’t know how to fight back because Michael indeed
didn’t have endorsements and never got on variety shows. He didn’t have friends to talk with on Twitter
either…
Unfortunately, Michael only acted in movies and wouldn’t ept anymercial endorsements or get on
variety or reality shows. He only made a few public service advertisements. Michael waved his hand and
replied, “No way. I’m getting old and can’t stand overworking anymore.”
Not long after, dinner was served and Michael generously picked out some fine wine from his cer to
treat his guest of the day, Linus.
Tonight’s dinner was roast mutton and Stanley was overjoyed. Stuffing food into his mouth, he said,
“Wow, uncle! Did you specially prepare a whole roastedmb because you knew that I wasing
today?”
Michael replied, “Don’t tter yourself. Today is my 800-day marriage anniversary with your aunt.”
Hearing this, Stanley was rendered speechless.
Meanwhile, Sophia silently counted with her fingers and realized that they really had been married for
800 days. She saw argemb being kept in the backyard of the kitchen two days ago and didn’t expect
that it was part of Michael’s preparation for the celebration.
The roasted mutton was burnt and fragrant, and it was great enjoyment to eat some roastedmb in the
winter. Before Sophia reached for themb, a pile of torn mutton appeared in her bowl. Michael had torn
off pieces of mutton with gloves on and carefully tore it into small pieces before cing them in Sophia’s
bowl as he chatted with Linus.
“Mr. Michel, since you’re good friends with my wife, can I call you Linus instead?” Michael said
courteously. He had maintained a formic tone as he spoke to Linus all this while.
Hearing this, Linus replied, “Mr. Murray, there is no need to be so formal. Just call me Linus.”
When Linus and Michael ate together, it was obvious that they were maintaining their posture and every
move they made were the exact movements of a gentleman. Michael wiped his mouth with a napkin
before he said, “Well then, you don’t have to call me Mr. Murray either. Taylor Murray is just my stage
name. My surname is Fletcher and my first name is Michael. If you’re willing, you can call me by my first
name.”
Linus gave it some thought before he replied, “Okay, Michael.”
After Michael heard this, he grinned in satisfaction.
Linus was Sophia’s twin brother. Sooner orter, this truth would be exposed but Michael hadn’t found
the right opportunity to tell Linus yet. He always had the idea to find the appropriate timing to tell Linus
his rtionship with Sophia. When that happened, Linus would definitely investigate Sophia’s
background and he would spread some rumors to guide Linus to find out about Annabel’s rtionship
with Cooper.
However, it was too risky. After all, he didn’t know about Linus’s background or character, and he had no
clue of the Michel family’s attitude toward Linus. He didn’t know Linus’s position in the Michel family
either. If he took the risk and told Linus, he might put Sophia and Linus himself in danger, which was why
he decided to give up on the thought.
The matter of Sophia’s reunion with her family must be seriously considered.
After hearing Linus and Michael call each other by their first names, Stanley was the first to show his
dissatisfaction. “Uncle, how can you do that? Doesn’t that make me the youngest?”
Sean chuckled as he teased him. “Stan, you’ve always been the youngest among them!”
With a cheerful person like Stanley, the atmosphere around the table was lively.
Linus sat on Michael’s left side while Sophia sat on his right. Michael looked to the left for a while before
he turned to the right topare the looks of the two siblings.
What a huge difference! They even look like they are from different races! Sophia is simply a replica of
Annabel and she has inherited some of her father’s characteristics such as having fair skin, straight
nose, and her eyes are big like a European. However, her hair and eyes are ck. As for Linus, he looks
entirely like a European. He has blond hair and blue eyes. Although he looks a little mixed, it isn’t really
obvious. If I didn’t see the DNA results myself, no one would suspect that they are both twin brother and
sister! It’s amazing!
As the atmosphere became more lively, Michael started probing Linus. “Linus, I heard that you were born
on the same year, month and day with my wife.”
Linus replied, “That’s right.”
In a surprised tone, Michael said, “What a coincidence. In which time zone were you born? Let me see
whether you or my wife is older.”
After thinking about it for a while, Linus replied, “I was born in Eastern Europe and Cethos is only three
hours ahead of Europe. We’re in the same time zone with Cethos so we can’t really tell who’s older.”
Michael continued to ask. “My wife was born at 6:15 pm, Cethos time. What about you, Linus?”
6:15 pm?
Property of N?)(velDr(a)ma.Org.
It was the first time Sophia heard about the exact time she was born. I didn’t even know when I was
born. I didn’t expect Michael to find out…
Linus counted for a while and replied, “If I calcte my birth time ording to Cethos time, I was born
around 6:00 pm.”
Hearing this, Michael cheerfully toasted with Linus before he said, “I must learn more about you when we
have the time. This really is fate!”
ording to the information that Michael found, Sophia’s brother was indeed born at 6:00pm, 15
minutes earlier than Sophia. He didn’t cry when he was born and the nurse who delivered him had
secretly taken him away. 15 minutester, Sophia was born. Even though they were from the same
mother and born on the same day, their lives werepletely different.
Michael sneakily asked Linus about information about his family. The Michel family was so mysterious
that he couldn’t nt any of his men inside, and neither could he find any inside information about this
family either, which was why Linus was his only breakthrough point. Instead of asking Abel to go to Africa
and squatting outside Fass’s castle, it was better to start from Linus.
Speaking of his father, Linus pursed his lips and said, “My father has been enjoying his retirement in his
hometown in Eastern Europe. If I have the chance, I’ll definitely ask him toe and visit Bayside City.”
After taking a few bites of his meal, Michael directed the topic to Fass again. “By the way, I didn’t get to
meet Mr. Fass during my previous visit to Africa. What a shame. I wonder if Mr. Fass has any ns to
come to Bayside City. I’ve heard many things about him and if I get to meet him, it would be an honor!”
As soon as he finished speaking, everybody immediately started paying attention and anticipated to hear
the answer.
If they could meet Fass in person, all their questions could be answered.
