Under a tense atmosphere, everybody had lunch together.

After lunch, Michael stayed back for a short while. He chatted with Sophia about the story of Garfield getting stolen, and the one about Judge eating sh*t. He chatted with her until about 3.00PM before finally leaving.

Just when he was about to leave, Michael suddenly said to Sophia, “Sophia, I will be away for a period. I’ll count on you to look after Carmen for the time being.”

Sophia asked him automatically, “Where are you going?”

She didn’t even realize that she sounded slightly panicked and disappointed.

Michael smiled at her. “I have some matters to attend to, and so I have to leave Bayside City for a while. Carmen would be bored alone at home, and so I’d like to put her under your care, if you don’t mind.”

He’s leaving?

Sophia answered, “Carmen is my child too. I’ll look after her well, naturally.”

Michael nodded in response, but his eyes were twinkling mischievously.

I knew that even after losing her memories, my chica would always have me buried deep in her heart.

 

She is fated to belong to me, and me alone, because I have debts to repay her.

Michael waved at Carmen. “Baby, I’m leaving now. You have to obey mommy at home, alright?”

 

Carmen was in the living room in Cooper’s arms as she was distracting him to make sure that Michael had the chance to bid Sophia goodbye while having some privacy. Upon hearing his voice, Carmen nodded while answering, “Don’t worry. Just go ahead. I will eat, sleep, and pee well.”

Cooper was just about to stand up to separate Sophia and Michael when Carmen stated hastily, “Grandpa, I need to pee.”

Why does she have to pee so frequently throughout the day…

Carmen succeeded in diverting Cooper’s attention, and so Sophia walked Michael out. She stared at his back view while he walked through the entrance of Villa No. 8.

That night, she saw Michael leaving in his car.
