My Dreamy Old Husband

The fact that Anne had missed Cooper and couldn’t meet him made her blue all day. Just like yesterday, she didn’t speak much; even the food she consumed was less than usual.

After thinking about it, Louis made up his mind and pulled open the drawer of the bedside table. From inside, he took out a gracefully packed tiny gift box and said, “Cooper… told me to give this to you. I forgot about it yesterday.”

Cooper left this for me?

Instantly, Anne’s eyes were shining. Taking over the gift box, she opened it and saw a spoiled apricot.

It’s an apricot from Cooper!

Although she did not know the meaning behind this little apricot, it was still a gift from Cooper. Therefore, it had remarkable value.

Staring at Anne, who was extremely content, Louis was sad. That apricot was indeed a gift from Cooper. However, it was something Cooper gave on behalf of Carmen. It was a gift from Carmen, who wanted to thank Anne for hiding her inside the dressing room.

Forget it. It’s fine as long as she’s happy…

In the past two days, Michael had been running around. Jordan’s strike on Cooper this time was also an attack on him. Both of them had worked together to fight back. Furthermore, Jordan’s two sons had committed a serious crime. Even though the two bastards were dead and had dragged more than twenty people along with them, the incident still shook the people of Cethos.

The Fletcher Family knew who shot the plane down. Cethos and Jordan knew it too. Yet, there was no further investigation. Hence, the incident was considered solved.

Jordan did not have the courage to fight for his sons. The government had concluded that it was a serious terrorist attack. Now that it had crossed the limits of the higher-ups in Cethos, it was hard for Jordan to deny responsibility. However, he was influential and had connections. Therefore, even if his two sons and dozens of lives had been sacrificed, he managed to avoid culpability.

Nonetheless, he would not be able to escape for long because this incident had alerted the higher-ups.

He really did raise two ‘good’ sons!

Recently, Michael was extremely busy. The film set was located in the valley. Although it was convenient for him to commute to work and go home every day, he had to work with Cooper to deal with Jordan and worry about Carmen’s love life.

Carmen brought bags of local specialties from the farm, and Michael knew exactly who the local specialties were given to, including where each cherry had gone. However, the four apricots’ whereabouts remained unknown.

Before they went to visit Louis, Carmen wrapped one of the apricots. The packaging was so ugly, yet she insisted on giving it to Anne. Sophia had to repackage it and add some floral motif stickers before they could just about give it out.
