Carmen walked over to Anna’s house almost every day. The young girl often spent her time hanging out there—it was probably because she had the intention of adopting a corgi once she got closer to the family. That day, she dragged Cooper along with her. “Come on, Grandpa. We can invite Miss Beautiful over to my kindergarten’s year-end performance.”

Cooper frowned at this before he turned around and forcefully edged himself away from the exit. He didn’t want to have any interactions with Anna; he didn’t want Carmen talking to Anna either, but Carmen insisted on visiting her house almost every day. Seeing that Cooper refused to go along with her, Carmen stuck her lips out into a pout. “I’m going to start rolling on the ground and throw a tantrum, Grandpa. Are you scared yet?”

Ah, she’s going to throw a tantrum. How scary. Cooper unwillingly followed behind Carmen as the young girl dragged him over to Anna’s house. She was familiar with the route heading toward their place, and she knocked on the door upon her arrival. Both Callum and Cade were home, and they fought to open the door once they realized that Cooper was paying them a visit. In the end, Callum was the one who greeted Cooper with a wide grin on his face. “Do come in, Mr. Mitchell.”

Cooper didn’t want to go in, but Carmen dragged him inside nonetheless. She walked around as if it were her own house, and she quickly went over to the shoe cabinet before pulling out a pair of pink indoor slippers for herself. Then, she got one for Cooper as well.

“Miss Beautiful!” Carmen excitedly ran around in search of Anna. She ran around the place as if she had lived there all her life, and she even brought a corgi into her arms before showing it to Cooper. “Look, Grandpa. Its name is Buns! Look at how adorable its butt is.” Carmen turned the dog around and faced its butt toward Cooper, extending an invitation for Cooper to admire the corgi’s butt with her. Cooper furrowed his brows as he wasn’t interested in looking at a corgi’s butt. He didn’t want to sit around either, but Cade had already walked over with a cup of tea for him. “Don’t worry, Mr. Mitchell. Anne isn’t here today.”

Indeed, Anne wasn’t around that day as she had learned her lesson after getting beaten the last time; she no longer dared to pester Anna any longer. Soon enough, Anna came down from the second floor in a pearl-white long gown that suited her elegant aura. She was dressed in a casual and simple outfit, but it made her look classy and chic at the same time.

“Carry me, Miss Beautiful.” Carmen reached her arms out, and Anna lovingly lifted her up before she walked toward Cooper and sat down beside him on the couch.

sorry for disturbing you, Mrs. Yard,” replied Cooper as he nodded without forgetting his manners. After sitting around for a while, Anna made the first move to initiate random topics of conversation with Cooper. Meanwhile, Carmen’s babysitter pulled a small, delicate little basket out. There was a pink cloth draped over the basket, and there were bacon slices wrapped in paper underneath the pink cloth. Oddly enough, there was a ribbon tied around the basket of bacon strips, and there were two odd roses placed in the
