Is he here to look for Carmen? Cade opened the door and invited Cooper in. “Are you here to pick Carmen up, Mr. Mitchell? My mom’s sick, and Carmen’s talking to her now!” Cade said in a pleasant tone of voice. Cooper was dressed in a black winter jacket that highlighted his long and lean figure. His face was as cold as the weather outside, and his voice as monotonous as ever. “I heard that Annie’s sick, so I’m here to pay her a visit,” he replied as he stepped into the house. Carmen excitedly came over to take a pair of shoes for her grandfather once she realized he had come over. The young girl then brought him upstairs to see Anna.

“Grandpa’s here to see you, Miss Beautiful!” Carmen cried.

It was then that Cade realized the few stalks of roses that Cooper held in the hand that was placed behind his back. Woah, what? Is Cooper actually here to give Mom flowers? He wasn’t tricked by Carmen! He called Mom by her nickname—Annie—when he came in just now. Annie? Annie! Something must be up! Since when did they get so intimate with one another?!

Cade felt like he had to go up and take a look for himself to investigate the situation and check on their progress. But the moment he went up the stairs, he saw Carmen dragging Callum down. When she saw Cade, she spoke to him sternly. “Grandpa is too big-sized, and the house is too squishy. There’s no space for a third person there.”

Wait a minute… Carmen’s words had surprised Cade once again. This young girl is in our house, and she blatantly allowed her grandfather to flirt with my mother, yet she wouldn’t even let us go take a look?! Cade seized this opportunity to get Carmen to follow his orders. “Well, let me carry you; otherwise, I’m going up there,” he uttered.

Carmen gave him an awkward stare before she finally lifted her arms up miserably. “Do it, then,” she muttered before Cade happily lifted her up into the air. The three of them went downstairs, and Callum looked up to glance at Anna’s bedroom on the second floor. It’d be amazing if Anna and Cooper got together, but it’s not going to be easy for them to become a proper couple. Dad isn’t dead yet, after all.

Meanwhile, Anna was the first to speak in her room. “Thank you for coming over, Mr. Mitchell. It’s just an old illness that I have; it’s no big deal.” Anna seemed extremely glad to see Cooper. She sounded rather excited, but her voice was still a little weak as she was feeling sickly.

With his gaze avoiding hers, he looked around the room to see the cup that Anna had just drank from and the corgi that was running around on the floor. He was too nervous to know what to say or do, so he brought out the

Imperial. It was the weekend, and Michael finally managed to catch Harry red-handed for stealing all the roses in the greenhouse. With a flyswatter, Michael smacked Harry as he shouted. Smack! Smack! Smack! “I planted these roses for my lovely wife, and they just f*cking bloomed! My wife hasn’t even had the chance to see it, and you guys have already stolen most of it! Carmen stole some; Celie stole some; even my father-in-law stole some! I can’t believe you’re stealing some too! Do you guys think I’m dead?!” Harry received a good beating from the flyswatter, but he insisted on protecting the roses that he had just plucked as he tried to defend himself.
