Michael subconsciously glanced at the time on the car’s on-board display and racked his brain for clues but he really had no idea what Mark was talking about. Mark had a hunch that Michael wouldn’t know what day it was so he answered his own question. “Thirty nine years ago, Woody came to me with Cooper and begged me to take Cooper as my godson.”

When Michael heard Mark mention Cooper, he seemed to know what Mark was going to ask.

Mark had always been straightforward but he was already being pretty tacit that day. The second question instantly revealed the urgency he was feeling at that moment. “Tell me the truth: what is Sophie and Cooper’s relationship?”

There was a long silence from the other end of the phone. Mark had speculated that Sophia might be a descendent of the Mitchell family that was raised outside the family home and was happened to be found by Michael. Maybe she was more closely related to Woody, or maybe she was the offspring of one of Woody’s sons. However, he never thought that he would ever hear the three words, “She’s Cooper’s daughter.”

Cooper’s daughter? Mark was so shocked by the revelation that he couldn’t speak for a while. Then, he mumbled, “Coop… has an offspring? Are you serious, Mikey?”

Mark was 99 years old and there weren’t many friends that fought with him back then that were still alive. He had lived for almost a hundred years and seen too many deaths, personally attending multiple funerals of his descendants but Cooper’s death was the only one he couldn’t let go of. Back when Celine passed away, Mark was so devastated that his health was in a critical condition for a while.

However, Celine at least left Nathan behind, who somehow gave him some comfort, whereas Cooper didn’t leave anyone. He left without leaving any offsprings or even a lover, and Mark couldn’t help but pity him. But now Michael was telling him that Cooper had a daughter!

Mark thought that he had misheard so he asked again, “How is it possible that Sophie is Cooper’s daughter? Mikey, you can’t just say things like that without evidence!”
