My Dreamy Old Husband novel Chapter 789

With that, Sam limped away with Corrado in tow. Sophia still looked confused and could not figure out what happened between Cooper and Sam so she asked, “Dad, what happened? Why did you beat up Uncle Sam when you saw him?”

Cooper sat down next to Sophia and stayed silent for a long time, pain and regret in his eyes. After a while, he replied, “People make mistakes when they are young.”

The biggest mistake Cooper made when he was young was to fall in love with Annabel and be with her, without having the power to bear the consequences. As a result, he brought harm to everyone. He brought harm to Woody, who was the family head at the time. Because of this, Woody was threatened by the people who objected to Cooper’s relationship and even almost lost his position as family head. He also harmed Annabel and their daughter Sophia…

If they were a little more mature back then, none of the tragic events would happen. However, it was fate and there was no one to blame for them being young and immature.

Because of the mistake he made back then, he harmed everyone. Looking back, there was nothing he could do to restore everything to what it once was. However, at the very least, a bright flower blossomed in his cruel fate and that flower was Sophia.

After hearing Cooper’s answer, Sophia asked, “Can’t you just forgive him?”

With a bitter smile, Cooper replied, “I can understand him but I will never be able to forgive him…” Staring at the floating clouds in the sky, Cooper muttered to himself, “Even if I can forgive him… who will forgive me?”

He wanted to ask Woody and Annabel for forgiveness but it was impossible. My sins can never be forgiven…

“Dad, didn’t you say that you’re going to tell me about the genealogy record book? Tell me now!” Sophia lightly tugged at Cooper’s sleeve and it was only then did Cooper come back to his senses. Then, he pulled out a thick booklet. When he opened it, Sophia realized it contained the history of the Mitchell family.

“This is the Mitchell family’s genealogy record book that records the glorious history of the Mitchell family.”

Looking at the booklet, Cooper’s gaze was filled with pride. He flipped through the booklet and slowly explained everything to Sophia. The Mitchell surname appeared more than 2,000 years ago and it was passed down from generation to generation, and now there were descendants with the Mitchell surname all over the world.

The Mitchell family in Bayside City was the most glorious bloodline among all the Mitchell families in the world. One of their ancestors was a king and others were so wealthy, they had power to control the world. That being said, there was also a group of notorious bandits. Especially in modern times, the family had an even more glorious history. Cooper flipped through the booklet page by page as he told Sophia about the modern history of the Mitchell family, which was also related to the modern history of Cethos.

The Mitchell family did business in past dynasties and became really rich. In modern times, they were the first to develop modern industries. During the turbulent times of a change of dynasty, they accumulated great wealth and made glorious history.

They protected the nation’s treasures, donated armory, and donated food and money during a national crisis. Some of their ancestors were at the forefront of the battle while others focused on doing business to accumulate food, money, and ammunition for the troops at the forefront. Their efforts helped to protect the country and it led to the stable and prosperous life they had today. Shadows of the Mitchell family were everywhere in modern history.

All of a sudden, Sophia saw a black and white photo of two teenagers in the snow. One of the teenagers was wearing clothes that were so tattered that the cotton of his coat could be seen. Meanwhile, the other teenager was wearing an exquisite and gorgeous fox fur coat.

“Dad, who is this?”

When Cooper saw the photo, he smiled and said, “The teenager in tattered clothes is my godfather. This photo was taken about 90 years ago. Foreign enemies invaded Cethos and my godfather was trapped somewhere in the mountains. It was a harsh winter and they didn’t have clothes, food, and ammunition; they almost died from the cold and starvation itself. Back then, my father Woody personally escorted winter supplies to the front line. After he found out about their situation, he asked his superiors to approve the rescue mission. In the end, my father and a group of reinforcements fought the enemies until they retreated and cooperated with my godfather to break through the—”

“Back then, my godfather was 19 years old and my father was… 15.”

Hearing Cooper describe the thrilling battle, Sophia was dumbfounded. At that time, Woody was only 15 but he took care of the family. He was even brave enough to personally escort winter supplies to the forefront under the rain of gunfire. After he found out his best friend was under siege, he asked for reinforcements to rescue him and in the end, he even personally led the troops to rescue them. Unfortunately, I didn’t get to meet Woody.

As soon as Cooper retrieved the assets, the Mitchell family immediately found out about it and it wasn’t long before Sean came over to Cooper’s place to tell them about what was going on in the Mitchell family.

“I heard that Alex threw a fit in front of the elders and told them that you are a liar, that you stole the Mitchell family’s money!”

Hearing this, Cooper was expressionless. A film was playing in the home theatre in the living room, which not surprisingly, starred Michael.

Carmen is definitely doing this on purpose. She shows Sophia her father’s movies everyday.

Hearing what Sean had to say, Cooper coldy replied, “It seems that the Mitchell family has really fallen. It’s just some small assets and they are already so obsessed with it. I’d rather sell them all and use the money to buy dog food for the husky than hand it to them.”

All of a sudden, Judge appeared with a swoosh. Sticking its tongue out, it wagged its tail and looked at Cooper with anticipation.

Seeing this, Cooper frowned and said, “I’m just giving an example. Stop daydreaming.”

After Judge heard this, it got angry and immediately turned around and went back to its cage, not willing to bother with Cooper anymore. What kind of a person is he… How can he lie to a dog?

Sean smiled bitterly. However, as soon as Cooper was back, the Mitchell family would rise to glory again sooner or later. Later, he asked, “After you left that year, the Mitchell family invaded your property and took your money. Are you going to initiate the legal process to get all of that back?”
