My Dreamy Old Husband novel Chapter 389

Michael subconsciously glanced at the time on the car’s on-board display and racked his brain for clues but he really had no idea what Mark was talking about. Mark had a hunch that Michael wouldn’t know what day it was so he answered his own question. “Thirty nine years ago, Woody came to me with Cooper and begged me to take Cooper as my godson.”

When Michael heard Mark mention Cooper, he seemed to know what Mark was going to ask.

Mark had always been straightforward but he was already being pretty tacit that day. The second question instantly revealed the urgency he was feeling at that moment. “Tell me the truth: what is Sophie and Cooper’s relationship?”

There was a long silence from the other end of the phone. Mark had speculated that Sophia might be a descendent of the Mitchell family that was raised outside the family home and was happened to be found by Michael. Maybe she was more closely related to Woody, or maybe she was the offspring of one of Woody’s sons. However, he never thought that he would ever hear the three words, “She’s Cooper’s daughter.”

Mark was 99 years old and there weren’t many friends that fought with him back then that were still alive. He had lived for almost a hundred years and seen too many deaths, personally attending multiple funerals of his descendants but Cooper’s death was the only one he couldn’t let go of. Back when Celine passed away, Mark was so devastated that his health was in a critical condition for a while.

However, Celine at least left Nathan behind, who somehow gave him some comfort, whereas Cooper didn’t leave anyone. He left without leaving any offsprings or even a lover, and Mark couldn’t help but pity him. But now Michael was telling him that Cooper had a daughter!

Mark thought that he had misheard so he asked again, “How is it possible that Sophie is Cooper’s daughter? Mikey, you can’t just say things like that without evidence!”

At that moment, Michael had arrived on set and he got out of the car, watching the hustle and bustle of people around the studio. His sunglasses covered the solemn look in his eyes as he said down the line, “Grandpa, I hope that you can keep this a secret and not reveal it to anyone else.”

Mark was startled to hear this but he agreed. After hanging up the phone, Mark was overjoyed and he kept mumbling to himself, “Coop has a daughter? Coop has a daughter! Coop’s daughter is here to see me!”

He thought that Michael deliberately sent Sophia over to cheer him up. After hanging up the phone, he leaned on his crutches and rushed to the garden to look for Sophia. However, he suddenly remembered that Sophia was Cooper’s offspring. He used to dream of recruiting Cooper to be a son-in-law of the Fletchers and introduced all of his granddaughters to Cooper but Cooper didn’t like any of them.

Thinking that Cooper remained single until he died, Mark couldn’t forget about his amazing genes. Now Cooper’s daughter was right in front of him, as if it was destiny. He hurriedly gave Stanley a call.

“Stan, what are you doing? What time are you coming home? You’re not allowed to go to work. Hurry up and come home! Sophie is here again; you must seize the opportunity!”

Meanwhile at the entrance of the military compound, Joel was wearing an undershirt, shopping at the commissary. He was on leave that day and even though he didn’t have to work, he still got up at six in the morning to train. Covered in sweat, he went to buy a drink.
