Chapter 1101-1110
My Dreamy Old Husband Chapter 1101
The atmosphere suddenly got so serious that even Carmen held her tongue while she was sitting in Anna’s lap. She observed her surroundings wide-eyed, knowing that she wasn’t allowed to interject when the grown-ups were talking about important stuff. On the other hand, Anne didn’t care about that, for she still reached out to hold Anna’s arm while calling out to the latter. “Aunt Anna—”
However, Anna shot her a penetrating glance that was devoid of all her earlier gentleness. Now, the look in her eyes was one of frostiness, and she made it clear to Anne to keep silent while she said in a hushed voice, “Shut up and hear what Mr. Fletcher has to say.” However, her sternness melted away into tenderness as soon as she turned back to Carmen.

However, she dared not vocalize any of her intense hatred. Indeed, she could throw a hissy fit in front of Louis, but she feared Anna. She didn’t have the courage to stand up against Anna, nor did she dare throw a tantrum while in Anna’s presence.
Meanwhile, Mark was observing the younger generation while sitting beside Louis. Although he seemed to have something to say, he eventually decided against it. “Louis, I think you should be the one to divulge this.”
Nodding his head, Louis heaved a sigh while glancing between Michael and Anna before revealing the secret that the Osbornes had kept hidden for decades. “The truth is, I used to be a Yard, but my family took on the surname of Osborne starting from my father’s generation.”
