My Dreamy Old Husband novel Chapter 771

Carmen came to visit with her toys, backpack, dogs, nanny and everything that she needed after breakfast the next morning. Michael had personally sent her over and it looked like she planned to stay in Cooper’s house.

Sophia had gone to bed late the night before and was still asleep. It was Linus who opened the door and Carmen sweetly greeted as she entered, “Uncle Linus!”

He was about to correct her that he was Sophia’s father’s younger brother and that he should be addressed as granduncle, but Carmen had dashed into the living room. “Grandpa!” She called in a sweet voice when she found Cooper sitting on the sofa.

Cooper was still a little upset to see Michael, but his heart melted when he heard Carmen’s voice. I’m a grandpa!

“Hey! Carmen, come to grandpa.”

Carmen happily pounced over like a little butterfly. “Grandpa!” She called again.

“Hey,” he responded. What a charming little one!

“Grandpa, where is Mommy?” Carmen asked.

She seemed to have happily accepted the fact that Sophia was her mom.

“Your mom is still sleeping!” Cooper answered gently as he lovingly carried Carmen.

 

Michael spoke, “Great. Carmen, you shall accompany your grandpa and I’ll look for your mom.”

Although Carmen happily agreed, Cooper objected and glared at Michael. “No way!”

 

Michael did not dare to move.

“Darling, go and see if your mom is awake.” Cooper had a chilly glare when he looked at Michael, but looked gentle while addressing Carmen.

Carmen ran upstairs to look for Sophia.

Michael sat down before Cooper. “Father-in-law, just say whatever you want to say. I’m listening!” He could tell that there was something Cooper wanted to say, so he broke the ice.

Michael seemed to have gotten younger by many years when he learned that his wife was alive. He looked like he was wilting yesterday but now looked like he was blooming today—in short, he was reborn.

“I do not agree with this marriage.” Cooper cut to the chase with his opinion.

He would never agree to the marriage. Michael doesn’t deserve my daughter! Him? Be my son-in-law? In his dreams!

Cooper left after that and told Linus to send Michael out.

“Please take good care of Carmen then,” Michael said as he looked at Cooper. “I’ll come and pick her up tonight.”

After he said those words, he also left. It’s not up to you whether you agree or not!

Sophia saw that Carmen was by her bedside in her room when she woke up.

“Mommy!” Carmen called when she saw Sophia waking up.

Sophia had a mixed feeling when she saw Carmen and immediately got up to hug the young child. “Carmen, my darling, my daughter. I’m here. Mommy’s here…” Carmen is my daughter! Carmen Sophia Fletcher. My name is in her christened name! This is the child that I never had the chance to meet after her birth!

“I’m here. Mommy’s here…”

Sophia tried to hold back her tears, but her face was still covered in them.

Carmen was mature for her age and a cutie pie while she innocently consoled, “Mommy, you are a fairy and fairies don’t cry!”

Sophia nodded and suppressed her tears as she excitedly looked at her daughter. No wonder I felt a strong connection toward her. She’s my daughter after all! My daughter… I have a daughter!

As Cooper stood outside, he was assured when he looked at the mother and daughter before quietly closing the door.

She walked toward him, knowing who it was—He was Michael’s grandfather and Cooper’s godfather. No matter which identity he had, he was her grandfather. “Grandpa.”

Although she could not accept the fact that she had a husband, she could accept Mark’s existence.

Mark was so happy to see that Sophia was alive that he cried.

He related events that happened after she left—Michael’s hair turned gray and Nate enrolled in university. On top of that, Claude had joined the African Peacekeeping Force and Joel was married.

She listened attentively, but it was a pity that she could not remember anyone. They were people whom she was acquainted with in the past anyway.

Mark shared more about Joel. The second year after Sophia’s alleged death, he was on a rescue mission when an earthquake struck an area in Cethos. An aftershock caused him to become buried under the debris with a local girl.

The rescue team had spent the entire day removing the debris and managed to save both Joel and the girl in the end.

They were married immediately after they returned.

Old Master Fletcher was their witness and it was a military marriage.

Everyone whom she knew seemed to find their place in life.

Michael and Carmen had been eavesdropping when Mark arrived. Michael had looked around for Sophia, but she was busy talking to her best friends in the past and never came down.

“I heard about Stan and Sophie’s blind date. Don’t worry, Stan is a dumb fellow. There are many other outstanding boys from my family! Come, I even brought a chart for you to see—look!” Michael overheard Mark having a chat with Cooper. “This is the booklet that I had prepared for Sophie in the past. Inside are the people whom I have selected. Some of them have left and there are newcomers to the list, so I had to amend it again yesterday.”

Cooper took it and seriously gave it a look. He was satisfied because he knew that the boys from the Fletcher Family were outstanding in their own right as a result of being born into a military family. Upon seeing that Old Master Fletcher was prepared, Cooper immediately started to discuss about blind dates for Sophia with him.

Michael was speechless. They are discussing blind dates for my wife right before my eyes. Did Cooper think that the marriage certificate was a joke?
