Three pairs of faint blue eyes stared coldly in Michael’s direction.

Both Cooper and Linus had been immersed in the joy of their family reunion over the past two days, so they failed to carefully reflect on the events that had transpired. However, their niggling doubts had existed in their hearts since before. Thus, everybody immediately noticed something fishy going on as soon as Carmen mentioned it.

Cooper thought to himself, No wonder Michael managed to locate Linus at such a timely moment! No wonder I always felt that somebody was muddying the waters and blocking my way from behind the scenes while I was searching for my son! No wonder Daniel told me to remain spiritual in my search for my son, claiming that my long-lost son would appear if I checked the household registry! That was because Linus is already listed in the household registry! If it weren’t for this incident, where Michael became anxious and desperate because I was pushing Linus and Sophia into a fake marriage, who knows how long Michael would have continued deceiving us?! That d*mn Michael!

Sophia angrily put her cutlery down and glared at Michael fiercely. Similarly, the expression on Linus’ face was anything but kind. On the other hand, Michael didn’t even flinch as he held Carmen and fed her. He even smilingly said, “You’re so smart! Uncle Linus became Mommy’s brother a long, long time ago. So, don’t call him ‘Granduncle Linus’ anymore. You should call him ‘Uncle Linus’ just like before!”

Carmen raised her head and looked at him. Pouting, she said, “Okay.” Adults are so complicated!

Despite managing to turn the situation around, it did not change the fact that the truth had been ruthlessly exposed. Thus, Linus and Cooper were still glaring daggers at him. However, he gathered all the acting skills he cultivated as an Academy Award winner to keep his expression neutral and calm. Hmph; why should I fear Cooper? He can’t do anything to me! I’m his son-in-law!

Carmen was oblivious to the storm brewing between the adults. Picking up her new bowl, she looked at Cooper and asked sweetly, “Grandpa, is my ‘royal sweetheart bowl’ pretty?”

Only then did Cooper withdraw his vicious glare. By the time he turned to face her, his face was filled with pure delight. “Yes, it’s very pretty.”

In his opinion, Michael’s greatest contribution in life was the child he had with Sophia—Carmen.
