My Dreamy Old Husband

“What’s wrong?! What happened?!” When Cooper heard Carmen crying, he flew into her room in a hurry. Then, he saw Sophia throwing Carmen’s favorite pink little bowl to the ground with a lot of force. It frightened Carmen so much that she started wailing again. However, Sophia did not comfort her child and screamed at Annabel instead.

“No wonder Carmen has been suffering from diarrhea ever since you returned! She couldn’t get well no matter what she ate; it’s all because you’ve been secretly feeding her this stuff! You knew Carmen has a frail constitution; how could you feed her something like this?! Is this something a child can eat?! She’s your granddaughter! I warned you about this the last time you fed her an expired jelly you bought from outside! What the h*ll are you thinking?! Are you trying to kill her?!” Although she had an aggressive air around her, her voice was tearful, and she couldn’t stop the tears from flowing down her face.

On the other hand, Annabel shrank back into a corner and sobbed as she was being berated. Once in a while, she whimpered. “I’m sorry, Sophia. I only wanted Carmen to get better faster. This home remedy works very well. Whenever the children back home get sick, they will take this—”

“Shut up!” Sophia’s eyes were shining bright red; she felt aggrieved yet furious at the same time. “I’ve warned you so many times! I’ve told you again and again not to feed Carmen any of this! Why?! Why won’t you listen?!”

Afterward, Sophia tenderly picked Carmen up. Wiping away her tears, she simultaneously used a wet cloth to dab away the soot residue at the corners of Carmen’s mouth. How dare Annabel dismiss the servants and secretly feed this home remedy to Carmen. If I was one step slower, Carmen would have finished that entire bowl…

Just two days ago, Annabel had bought a jelly for Carmen to eat from some random sundry shop. That jelly was nearly past its expiry date, and the plastic packaging was covered in dust. Despite that, she fed it to Carmen, who was not yet four years old, in large chunks with great gusto. Sophia had told Annabel off nicely at the time, so she had not expected that Annabel would feed Carmen something like that today.

Annabel was feeling extremely wronged. Walking over to Carmen and Sophia, she seemed like she wanted to apologize. She took several steps forward and came to a sudden stop before she could even touch Carmen; she was frightened by Sophia’s sudden shout. “Don’t come over!”

Annabel felt so wronged that her tears flowed freely. Looking up at Cooper, she sobbingly said, “Coop, I’m sorry… I’m
