The next day, Carmen woke up exceptionally early. After freshening up, Sophia helped Carmen wash up and brush her teeth under the nannies’ guidance. Sophia was anxious since this was her first time looking after her child. She was afraid that she wasn’t good enough. Fortunately, Carmen was extremely obedient, and so everything progressed swiftly.

Sophia was aware that there were three to four nannies with different ethnicities looking after Carmen. They conversed with her in different languages ever since she was a child, just so that Carmen would be fluent in languages from different countries.

Soon, the clean and obedient Carmen followed Sophia to head down for breakfast.

Breakfast was already served in the dining room by the time they arrived. There were steamed egg custard, bread, millet porridge, milk, and much more. Everything had been carefully prepared, and the colors were vibrant. In fact, the spread looked especially tantalizing.

“Sophia, come over for breakfast.” Michael was putting out the cutlery eagerly. Once he was done, he took Carmen from Sophia to place her onto a child seat.

Sophia sat down, whereas Michael started serving her with salad and a bowl of millet porridge. He then served her some pickled vegetables while explaining to her, “This was your favorite breakfast.”

She took two spoons of porridge with some crunchy pickled vegetables. It tasted delicious, and the vegetable salad complemented everything to perfection.

Michael’s eyes twinkled with a smile while he regarded her.

Sophia still had some medication over her face, so she had to be careful whenever she was having her meal or during her sleep, and she had to reapply her ointments constantly. She might not look perfect now, but from where I stand, she’s still the most beautiful woman in the world!

Cooper came knocking on the door early in the morning. He acted as if he was worried that Sophia might not be treated well here. However, when he arrived, he caught sight of the family of three having breakfast in the dining room.

 

Michael was also wearing a set of pink cartoon rabbit pajamas, and so he looked especially out of place.

On the other side, Carmen was having breakfast happily. Michael sat on her left, whereas Sophia sat on her right. Carmen was so overjoyed that she didn’t need anyone else to feed her; instead, she ate on her own. She had just finished her milk, and it left a white foam across her upper lip. When she saw Cooper, she exclaimed excitedly, “Grandpa, have you eaten?”

 

Cooper observed the situation with a frosty stare. He was upset, but he knew that he couldn’t show it blatantly. It’d be bad if I scare Carmen and she bursts into tears again.

“I have eaten.”

He merely waited until Sophia was done with her meal. After that, he brought her home right away. Sophia was still in her pajamas, and she left right after putting a coat on. She was reluctant to take off her pajamas since she felt especially comfortable in them.

Upon arriving home, Sophia wanted nothing more than to head back to her room to sleep since Carmen kept her awake most of the night for bedtime stories.
