With that, Sam limped away with Corrado in tow. Sophia still looked confused and could not figure out what happened between Cooper and Sam so she asked, “Dad, what happened? Why did you beat up Uncle Sam when you saw him?”

Cooper sat down next to Sophia and stayed silent for a long time, pain and regret in his eyes. After a while, he replied, “People make mistakes when they are young.”

The biggest mistake Cooper made when he was young was to fall in love with Annabel and be with her, without having the power to bear the consequences. As a result, he brought harm to everyone. He brought harm to Woody, who was the family head at the time. Because of this, Woody was threatened by the people who objected to Cooper’s relationship and even almost lost his position as family head. He also harmed Annabel and their daughter Sophia…

If they were a little more mature back then, none of the tragic events would happen. However, it was fate and there was no one to blame for them being young and immature.

Looking at Sophia who was sitting next to him, there was a hint of happiness in Cooper’s gaze as he thought, At least I still have her.

Because of the mistake he made back then, he harmed everyone. Looking back, there was nothing he could do to restore everything to what it once was. However, at the very least, a bright flower blossomed in his cruel fate and that flower was Sophia.

After hearing Cooper’s answer, Sophia asked, “Can’t you just forgive him?”

With a bitter smile, Cooper replied, “I can understand him but I will never be able to forgive him…” Staring at the floating clouds in the sky, Cooper muttered to himself, “Even if I can forgive him… who will forgive me?”

He wanted to ask Woody and Annabel for forgiveness but it was impossible. My sins can never be forgiven…

“Dad, didn’t you say that you’re going to tell me about the genealogy record book? Tell me now!” Sophia lightly tugged at Cooper’s sleeve and it was only then did Cooper come back to his senses. Then, he pulled out a thick booklet. When he opened it, Sophia realized it contained the history of the Mitchell family.

 

“This is the Mitchell family’s genealogy record book that records the glorious history of the Mitchell family.”
