My Dreamy Old Husband novel Chapter 364

Everyone came to the trip to play, but Sean couldn’t get his spirits up. Before Stanley, who probably had a hangover, woke up, he went to sit alone under the umbrella and stared at the long stretch of beach and sea in a daze.

Sean’s father had died when he was very young so he couldn’t remember what his father looked like. All he could recall was back then, before his mother left the Mitchell family and got remarried, she had held him in tears and said, “Sean, if only you were born a girl! If you were a girl, I could’ve taken you with me.”

If he was a girl, he could have left the Mitchell family with his mother.

However, he was a boy, and the Mitchell family would never let their bloodline leave the house. Furthermore, his mother didn’t have a powerful family like Celine and he didn’t have an uncle who would take him away at all costs, so he kept staying with the Mitchell family and was adopted by his uncle.

When he was young, he remembered clearly but didn’t understand what his mother’s words meant. If you were a girl, I could’ve taken you with me.

Naively, he thought that as long as he put on a skirt, his mother would be able to take him away. Unexpectedly, he wore girl’s clothes and waited until he was eighteen but his mother still never came back to take him away… The salty sea breeze ruffled his hair and he took a sip of his juice. As he watched Nathan, who was playing on the beach, his eyes were full of envy. All of a sudden, he saw Sophia and Stanley chasing after Judge.

“You stupid dog! Stop right there!”

Judge was holding something in his mouth. Perhaps he was frightened or excited, for he ran faster and faster. Seeing that Judge was running toward Sean, Sophia anxiously yelled, “Catch that dog! Catch him!”

With that, the few of them worked together and managed to catch Judge. Then, they pulled out the calculator that was full of saliva from its mouth. Seeing that the calculator was destroyed, Sophia apologetically said, “It’s all my fault for not closing the door properly and giving this dog a chance to run into the room and create a mess. It even broke Cooper’s calculator.”

Meanwhile, Stanley lowered his head and patted his innocent dog that took the blame. He didn’t dare to look at Sean or the dog in the eye.

 

Sean looked at the calculator distressed but he didn’t blame it on Sophia. “It’s okay. Uncle Cooper has been dead for so many years. These things have no meaning anymore. Besides, the Mitchell family comes to his study to search for things every year, and they secretly took a lot of things. It doesn’t matter if there’s one less calculator.”

Sophia looked apologetic as she said, “I will punish this naughty dog for you!”

 

Hearing this, Stanley hurriedly held his darling pet dog and yelled, “You’re not allowed to hit my son!” After he finished speaking, he slapped Judge’s butt and the dog ran away. Sophia and Stanley then chased after the dog. Meanwhile, Sean stared at the calculator and his sharp eyes noticed that this calculator was different from other calculators. He lightly pulled on it and easily disassembled the calculator. Then, he realized that this calculator was specially designed, and there was even a hidden compartment inside that had a USB!

A flicker of hope instantly appeared in Sean’s eyes. This calculator was found in Cooper’s room so it definitely belongs to him. Maybe there are some clues that he left behind here!

He quickly glanced around and saw that Sophia and Stanley were still chasing after Judge. Seeing that there was no one else around, he hurriedly plugged the USB into the laptop beside him. After plugging it in and waiting for it to scan, he realized the USB was filled with more than ten gigabytes of video recordings. Sean was extremely excited as he never thought that he would find files that Cooper secretly left behind. Later, he clicked on the first file and soon, Cooper appeared on the screen.

According to the time the video was recorded, Cooper was around 28 years old at that time, which was a year before his death and the third year he took over the position as family head. In the video, Cooper was utterly handsome. Being half a foreign descent, he had deep, dark eyes. At that time, he was at the peak of his career and appearance. Even though more than ten years had passed, this face was still profound to Sean.
