My Dreamy Old Husband novel Chapter 1214

The kindergarten’s final year performance was approaching, so Carmen dragged Cooper over to the Yard Family.

“Let’s go, Grandpa! Let’s go get Miss Beautiful to come and see my performance.”

Carmen was known as the prettiest and most ambitious kindergartener. Her whole family would naturally come and watch her performance, but she really wanted to invite Anna over as well.

As Carmen dragged him along, Cooper didn’t seem too enthusiastic about the idea. Nonetheless, his feet moved uncontrollably.

Yet, he wasn’t able to control the love he felt for her.

The last time Anna was sick, he visited her briefly before he stopped going over. However, he didn’t stop Carmen from stealing her father’s roses and sending them to Anna every day under Cooper’s name.

Meanwhile, Anna had been recuperating and rarely went out of the house; her face brightened up when she saw that Cooper had come to visit her.

“You’re here, Mr. Mitchell. Please come and have a seat.”

Anna invited Cooper into the living room as the latter sat down silently while Carmen jumped into Anna’s arms. “Grandpa and I have come to see you, Miss Beautiful!”

Anna kissed Carmen on the cheeks and replied affectionately, “You’re so sweet, Carmen. That is why I like you the most.”

After greeting Anna, Carmen kept winking at Cooper, who was sulking on the sofa.

Cooper felt reluctant but there was a tug at his heartstrings—he wanted to be with Anna and spend time with her.

Finally, he mustered the courage to pull out a pink invitation and handed it to Anna. “Mrs. Yard, this is an invitation to Carmen’s year-end performance at her kindergarten. Carmen hopes that you can go and see her performance.”

Anna took the invitation and read it; it clearly stated that Carmen’s parents were invited to the kindergarten.

Anna teased Carmen and said, “The invitation is for Carmen’s parents and grandparents, so I can’t go.”

Carmen replied innocently, “It’s okay, I’ll just tell the teacher that Miss Beautiful is my grandmother.”

Anna froze for a while, but she smiled as she glanced over and saw Cooper’s embarrassed face.

“Don’t be ridiculous!” Cooper scolded, but his heart was thumping fast.

Anna hugged Carmen and laughed. “I’ll be Carmen’s grandmother for a day, okay?”

“Yes! Yes!” Carmen exclaimed.

Anna hugged and kissed Carmen again with an unusual feeling of happiness in her heart.

…

When Carmen came home, Sophia gave her a long lecture.

“How can Miss Beautiful be your grandmother? Don’t talk nonsense! Don’t simply call her names!”

Carmed pouted. “Miss Beautiful has already agreed to come, so you can’t stop her from coming to the kindergarten!”

Sophia was speechless.

She wanted to say something bad about Anna so that Carmen would stop playing with her, but as soon as the words came to mind, she swallowed them back.

What an ill-fated relationship! At the end of the day, Anna is still my mother.

She was more worried about Cooper.

Many years ago, Annabel had already cheated him once; there was bound to be a second time…

Who knows if she has an ulterior motive now? Is there a hidden purpose for coming back?

She was Anna Yard, the President of the Ronney Group! She was no longer Annabel Johnson!

Despite Sophia’s objections, Anna had arrived together with Callum and Cade.

Sophia spotted a familiar child who had fifty dollars in his hand. The kid probably wanted to take a picture with Michael, but he didn’t dare to go forward because the price of a picture had gone up. Hence, he paced around at a slight distance.

“Aha! It’s you!”

She grabbed the child swiftly, and the child was almost scared to death when he saw her—he even struggled to run away.

“I don’t lift Carmen’s skirt anymore!”

The terrified Albert cried out as he backed away.

Last year, Albert was a bully in the kindergarten. He lifted Carmen’s skirt and was beaten up by her, and Sophia taught him a lesson when she found out about it. Since then, he has been quite a good boy.

Carmen transferred to Riverdale for a while and had just come back this semester. They were attending the same kindergarten together again, but Sophia was more worried about Carmen bullying him than the other way around.

She glanced at the space next to him. As she grabbed onto him, no one was there to stop her. Sophia asked curiously, “Where are your parents and your sister?”

Albert’s little face was covered with sadness. “They’re busy, so they can’t make it.”

Sophia’s heart clenched. Her child was pampered by everyone, yet he didn’t even have a parent there.

All of a sudden, Derek came over and Albert ran up happily toward him. “Derek!”

Derek explained, “I saw him the last time I came to help pick Stanley’s child up; whenever his parents can’t make it, I’d step in during his parent-teacher conference.”

Albert seemed to be close with Derek as they held hands and left together. Although Derek had completely cut off all ties with his father, he wouldn’t hold a grudge from a previous generation against an innocent child.

“Albert, do you want to take a picture together with Carmen’s dad?”

“Will Carmen beat me?”

“No she won’t.”
