Immediately, Nathan stuffed a jelly in her mouth and ran away.

After that, Carmen quietly stood next to Stanley, who stiffened and was afraid to move or even make eye contact.

She then tugged at his sleeve. “Stan, I want—”

Pretending to be serious, Stanley scolded sternly, “Don’t even think about it!”

After being silent for a few seconds, Carmen started to bawl. All at once, Stanley panicked and backtracked, “Wait; please don’t cry! I’m sorry!”

While everyone was comforting her, Cooper quickly switched to a different channel to keep Carmen from seeing another one of those reality shows.

To their surprise, a loud voice came on the TV as soon as the channel was switched. “Thank you for tuning in to watch the largest parent-child reality TV show ‘My Grandpa In Shining Armor’! Please welcome Grandpa No. 1 to the stage!”

Instantly, Cooper’s hairs stood on end and he felt his skin crawl.

The entire room became eerily silent before Carmen, who had just been throwing a tantrum, was now standing behind Cooper silently and looking up at him with innocent puppy eyes. With a sweet voice, she asked, “Grandpa, am I still your favorite little baby?”

At that point, Cooper had broken into cold sweat and it started to roll down his skin. Under Carmen’s intense gaze, he was terrified of making a sudden movement, or any movement for that matter.

 

At Ronney City, Anna and the rest had safely arrived from Bayside City after more than a forty-hour bumpy ride.

 

In fact, it had been some time since Anna was away. Hence, she was swamped with work and could only get three or four hours of sleep every night. She would often overwork herself to the point where she would fall asleep instantly as soon as her head hit the pillow.

She was afraid that her mind would wander endlessly if she had even a second of free time.

Despite that, she hadn’t been well-rested since she returned because she kept having nightmares.

At one moment, she would dream that her body was torn open and something crawled out. Then, she would see her two sons being lifted up high before being thrown onto the ground.

“Miss Beautiful, where did you go?” Carmen’s cries would echo in her ear from time to time and the dream would center around Cooper’s deep, yet emotionless gaze.
