Cooper had seen how attentive Anna had been in growing and caring for the flower pot. Yet, it was now abandoned by her.

“Dad!” Sophia called out to him twice before he finally hummed in response.

She glanced at the frozen roses and said, “Let’s go home; it’s getting cold.”

However, Cooper didn’t move. “You guys go ahead… I want to stay here a little longer.” His voice was filled with sadness.

Just a few days ago, he would come and chat with Anna anytime he could. Although it was only for brief moments, Sophia noticed that he would be in a particularly good mood that day. In fact, it wasn’t like any other days when he was in a good mood.

Sadly, Anna was gone just like that.

She is such a ruthless person.

Meanwhile, Carmen walked away while she cried. Sophia turned around to see Cooper still standing there motionless as he gazed sadly at the pot of roses.

When Sophia turned back around, Cooper realized that his face was wet from tears that had rolled down; the warm liquid streamed down his face and froze.

Cooper knew he was going to get hurt, yet he still recklessly lunged toward it.

 

Anna, how can you be so cruel?

When they came home, Carmen burst into tears as soon as she saw her father. Then, the same thing happened with her uncle and Poppy came over.

 

“Miss Beautiful will definitely call you; don’t worry!” Sophia promised.

In the midst of her cries, Anna finally called. Carmen picked up and instantly stopped wailing.

Sitting next to her, Sophia listened to the phone call and heard that it was indeed Anna’s voice coming from the other end. Not only that, even her tone was exactly the same.

Meanwhile, Carmen dried her tears and sobbed as she spoke on the phone.
