If so, had Michael’s sudden promise to allow her to have contact with Woody merely been a ruse to use her as a tool to achieve Michael’s own goals?
Her heart clenched; she didn’t want to see Michael involve Woody in his idea…
Looking at Sophia’s worried expression, Abel made her reassured by saying, “You don’t have to be so nervous. Boss just wants to find Cooper and ask him to verify something very important.”
Is that so? Sophia was still suspicious, but she took a glove from Abel’s toolbox to help.
Seeing the fingerprint, Abel’s expression grew concerned and he carefully kept the manuscript away.
He had come on this day as Nathan and Sophia’s bodyguard, allowing him to safely and boldly conduct his search. Aside from the fingerprint, he had hoped to find other clues, so he continued to rummage through the bookshelf.
Sophia was extremely worried, so she asked, “Is Cooper really not dead? If he didn’t die, then where is he now? What does Taylor want to ask him? Does it have anything to do with Old Master Mitchell?”
As Abel continued his search, he replied, “Cooper couldn’t have died. Boss wants to ask him about certain matters, but it has nothing to do with Woody.”
Sophia was still uneasy, afraid that Cooper had done something to have wronged Michael, so the latter was seeking revenge, and she was worried that it would affect Woody in the future.
While carefully opening Cooper’s book, Abel suddenly stopped and his gaze seemed to be fixed on something. Then, he turned around slowly toward the small figure not far behind him.
Nathan had woken up for some time, standing in front of Cooper’s desk, his hair messy from sleep. Raising his head, he looked at the ugly man in front of him, his eyes full of horror and curiosity.
Abel was shocked. His gaze swept across Nathan’s body, but after a second, he forced his eyes away from his own son.
That was his son; his biological son who became orphaned at 3 months old.
However, he didn’t dare acknowledge him. He would rather never let him know the truth!
Seeing Nathan suddenly pop up, Sophia was afraid that he would be frightened by Abel’s appearance. Quickly blocking his line of sight, she said, “Son, this man was sent by your daddy to look for some information. Let’s not bother him. How about we go see if Stan has brought back a big crab?”
Thus, Nathan was whisked away by Sophia. As he was leaving, he still looked at Abel curiously. It was as if he seemed to know this person from before…
Abel stared at the door after Sophia had left for a full minute before closing his eyes.
He had obtained Cooper’s fingerprints now, so the rest would be left to be long-term considerations. With Sophia around, it would be easier to get his hands on Cooper’s things.
Sophia took Nathan downstairs and saw that Stanley and Sean had returned, but they had also brought home an unexpected person.
Sophie looked at Michael who was talking to Woody while sitting on the living room sofa, stunned. “Hubby, why are you here—” Isn’t he supposed to be with the filming crew today?
Michael saw Sophia, and before he could say anything, Woody spoke up first. “Cooper, come here. This is Nate’s mother, Celine.”
Sophia was speechless. Well, if he could mistake a young damsel as his own forty-year-old son, then I suppose he could also mistake Michael to be his twin sister, Celine. After all, they look so alike.
Michael played along and pretended to be Celine. “Old Master, I’m already registered for marriage with your son!”
Woody was stunned for a while before he could react. “You and Justin got a divorce?”
