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.
