My Dreamy Old Husband

“Daddy’s here!” Carmen exclaimed in joy and quickly instructed Nicholas to pack her photos and prepare to head home.

On the other hand, Linus turned to Cooper. It was usually Michael’s nanny who came to pick Carmen up, but he came instead.

“Let me talk to him, ” Cooper replied and personally went to answer the door.

The door swung open. Outside was Michael, who finally saw the face that once filled his mind all day long—one that only existed in his memories. However, the sight of Cooper now failed to cause any ripples in his heart.

Nobody knew where their lair was up until now. If they did not wish for anyone to search for them, nobody would be able to do so. Nevertheless, all of those were a thing in the past as if the ending had been predetermined.

From the incident when Sam exposed the secret until the end when they brushed past each other multiple times, all of those only served to prove that Sophia was destined not to meet her biological father in person.

Michael’s chica had endured repeated sufferings in the world for his sake and now, he finally found her father on her behalf. Her father was currently standing in front of him, but… she would not be able to see him anymore. At that moment, Michael’s eyes were filled with sorrow and desolation.

“Daddy!” Carmen’s crisp voice interrupted the brief eye contact that the two men shared.

Upon seeing Carmen, Michael forced a smile and suppressed the sorrow in his eyes. He then held her little hand with a grin. “Good girl, let’s go home.”

“Yay!” She gladly waved her hand at Cooper. “Goodbye, Mr. Cooper, I’m going home with Daddy!”
