My Dreamy Old Husband

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.

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.

She then turned to Cooper before blinking at him with her large, watery eyes. Cooper was a little slow, and he widened his eyes to indicate that he didn’t understand what the young girl meant by that. Carmen responded by looking beside him before winking twice. Cooper got it then—Carmen wanted him to present the bacon as a gift

However, she was even more surprised to see the two roses in the basket when she uncovered the gift. She froze for a moment as she felt her heart fluttering in her chest.

It was an odd sight for them to see a dish of bacon placed on the middle of the table. None of them had ever tried eating bacon, but Anna felt an oddly familiar sensation as she glanced at the slices of red, salted meat. The bacon melted in her mouth and gave off an extremely special taste. The taste of it felt familiar; it felt like it had awakened something deep within her. She felt like she had tasted it somewhere, but she simply couldn’t remember where. Could
