My Dreamy Old Husband novel Chapter 330

Everyone became sick with worry when Woody was lost earlier in the day. Later, Sean discovered that Woody had gone out to look for him alone after the former had made a call.

However, Madam Lewis saw today that Woody held a young lady’s hand and addressed her as his son instead. “Cooper, stay for the night since you’re rarely home.”

Sean interjected, “Old Master, Uncle Cooper has an important meeting to attend to in the evening and has classes as well tomorrow. I’m afraid he won’t be free to stay overnight since he’s really busy.”

Although Woody’s face was crestfallen, he still dragged Sophia into the house. “Then, just have a seat for a while!”

Upon entering the house, she scanned the interior of the living room and saw that the decor was dated but well-kept and cozy. It was obvious that he was in good hands.

Many photographs stood on a table in the living room and all appeared to be of the same person.

She thought, That’s probably Cooper!

It seemed that his mother was a foreigner, which made it obvious that he was a mixed race child from his features—save for his ebony black hair, all his other facial features had resembled more of hers.

Sophia picked up a picture and stared at it curiously. Cooper seemed to be rather young in the picture—at around eighteen or nineteen years old—with a bright and innocent face. As he leaned against a door frame, he looked buoyantly into the camera with a black rosary hanging on his chest.

At that time when the photo was taken, he most probably had already obtained two doctorate degrees and was the person in charge of the Mitchell Family’s businesses!

 

There’s no way to tell that at all! He’s also pretty good-looking and can totally be a model!

With that thought in mind, she picked up another picture in which he wore a black suit with a black top hot. On his nose bridge was a pair of gold-rimmed glasses, making his eyes appear wise and deep. Some of his youth had already faded and he now looked a little more like a shrewd and experienced businessman. He looks exactly like a domineering president from a textbook!

 

The photo frame was transparent, so the words written on the back of the photo could be easily read. ‘Cooper, taken in the year 200x at age 25.’

Huh? This handwriting looks very familiar. I think I’ve seen it somewhere before…

Stanley picked up one of Cooper’s pictures as well and compared it to Sophia’s face, saying, “Look at this; there are similarities at the nose bridge, the eyebrows, and the look in the eyes. No wonder the Old Master mistook you for his son!”

Sophia had unwittingly knitted brows while being engrossed with the writing behind the picture. He exclaimed, “Even the way that they knit their brows are similar.”

Madam Lewis brought out some hot tea and snacks for everyone with enthusiasm. She took the opportunity to thank them when Woody went to search for something in his bedroom. “Old Master is always pulling this ruse. Thank you very much for bringing him home today.”

She was familiar with Sean and Stanley, considering that the latter was always around every time the former came to visit. Sophia and Nathan were the only ones whom she hadn’t met before, so she asked in curiosity, “May I ask who they are?”

Sean answered, “This is Nate from Justin’s family and that’s Sophia, his aunt. Nate’s now living with his uncle.”

At the mention of Justin’s name, Madam Lewis immediately understood and didn’t ask any more questions.

They all sat down and enjoyed the snacks and tea until it was time for them to leave. Woody finally emerged from his room with a black necklace in his hand. “Cooper, this is your amulet. Don’t lose it and remember to wear it daily!”

It was a black amulet with the cross carved in obsidian—an obvious sign that it was meant for a man. Cooper’s name was carved at the back and it was the same rosary that he had worn in the first picture Sophia saw.
