My Dreamy Old Husband

A loud sigh came from behind Sophia as Linus patted her shoulder before resting his arm on it. “Dad still can’t forget about her,” he stated. He saw the video himself, and he knew how cruel fate had been toward their mother. Her memories had been stolen from her.

Sophia glanced toward the direction where Cooper had walked off and zoned out for a while before she turned back to Linus. “That fiancée of Dad’s that they were talking about on the call earlier… What was that all about?” Linus maintained his neutral expression upon the mention of Cooper’s fiancée. “You know how it is. Dad’s handsome, rich, and tall; the women who are interested in him could probably form a whole line all the way from here to the Eiffel Tower. It’s pretty common for there to be a few women who are a little more aggressive.”

The siblings later walked out of Villa No. 2 and headed toward Villa No. 8 for lunch while Linus continued to talk about Cooper’s fiancée. Apparently, 20 years ago, the family head of the Michel Group found out that he was ill and realized that he didn’t have long to live. The old man then thought of his daughter, Beyoncé, who had gotten married to an Easterner and hadn’t kept in contact with him since. He ordered for someone to hunt her down, only to find out that his daughter had been dead for years. He also found out that he had a grandson, Cooper, who was practically a carbon copy of him—they shared the same skills and boldness. Back then, the Michel Group still appeared to be grand and impressive, but the old family head found out that they were deep in debt after he fell ill. The family members were all scheming against one another, and the Michel Family, which had existed for thousands of years, was at risk of falling apart. There were several other financial groups back then that were equally powerful; they could have taken over the Michel Group anytime. The old family head didn’t manage to find a suitable successor back then, as he simply couldn’t see anyone in the family having enough power to turn the tides to get them out of their predicament. His grandson, Cooper, was therefore the perfect heir. Furthermore, as a dying man himself, the old family head longed to take a look at his Easterner grandson. He therefore invited Cooper over to the Michel Group for a secret meetup.

Coincidentally, Cooper was planning to leave the Mitchell Family right then, so he agreed to abandon his identity as a part of the Mitchell Family after he found out about his mother’s family and his grandfather’s identity. Cooper then took over the role as the family head of the Michel Group and began to work there. The company was saved from its near demise after Cooper took over, and it began to reclaim its position at the peak of its field. Cooper managed to deal with all the internal affairs of the family while also saving the entire business. He ran around playing two roles back then—he had just begun to take over the Michel Group while he was also planning his great disappearance from the Mitchell Family. That was also when he found out about Linus and adopted him as a son.

Cooper didn’t actually need anyone’s support, but the old man’s judgements were a little off since he was on his deathbed. He claimed that he wouldn’t be able to die in peace if he didn’t get to see Cooper getting married, so Cooper made an agreement with the fiancée that the old man had chosen. They agreed to put on a show in front of the old man, just so that he could die in peace. The woman agreed to it, so they ended up faking their engagement in front of the old man’s sickbed. The old man died with a smile on his face after they exchanged their wedding rings.

She doesn’t truly love Daddy; she’s just fixated on him because she can’t get him. If she weren’t afraid of our father’s status and position in society, she might just kidnap him and force him to get married to her.” Linus then threw
