My Dreamy Old Husband novel Chapter 394

Dropping the pretense, Mark stood up and stared at Natasha with a fiery gaze in his eyes, a huge contrast to his old and haggard face. “I’m not meddling in the Mitchells’ affairs, but Cooper was my godson and my friendship with Woody has lasted for almost a lifetime. That amulet is the last memento left behind by Cooper, so I’m begging you humbly today to let him keep it!”

Stunned at his words, Natasha wasn’t expecting Mark, the old sly fox, to use this trick—taking one step back in order to take two steps forward.

He even made the Mitchells seem like such unreasonable people who wouldn’t even let go of a dead man’s item! In spite of that, that amulet held the key to Cooper’s huge properties, so she couldn’t let it slip through her hands! Now that she knew where it was, it made everything easier.

After coldly bidding her goodbye, Joel sent her out of the military compound. Turning back, she stared at the solemn place, a sneer flashing across her face. Sophia, what belongs to my family can never be taken away so easily!

Returning his smile, Sophia wondered if she was pretending to be Cooper in front of Woody or wanted to question the Mitchells on behalf of Cooper. But it didn’t matter anymore now…

Mark was sure that Woody would have to suffer for today after returning, but there was nothing much that he could do as he was an outsider. This was a matter which concerned their family internally, after all.

But as Woody’s good friend, he had to do something about it so he said to him, “Old man, just live in this military compound from now on. I’ll get you a permit and it will be easier for Cooper to visit you in the future. Staying at the beach by yourself is simply too far away!”

Sophia thought that this was a feasible idea as well. Although there were people looking after him at the beach, it was hard to tell whether Alex’s men would make things difficult for him after returning. He still had a large amount of savings left behind by Cooper and the Mitchells had their eyes fixed on it.

Thinking along the same lines, Sean persuaded Woody, “Old Master, just live in the military compound from now on; Uncle Cooper can even come and visit you often after work.” The Imperial, where Sophia was living, was only a few stations away from here and she could easily come to visit Woody.

That house by the beach was filled with memories of Cooper and even though Woody was a little reluctant to leave it behind, his ‘son’ had now returned alive and kicking, which was much better than those dead items. Thus, he agreed readily, “Alright then; I’ll live here.”

When he was younger, Woody had made many contributions to Cethos and the country had remembered all his acts. Adding on to the fact that it was Old Master Fletcher who had made the request, it didn’t take long for Woody to move into the military compound for his retirement.

Besides having other elderlies here and being a convenient location for Sophia to drop by, there was also a military hospital around which made living here much better than at the beach for Woody.

During this period, Sophia didn’t go anywhere else. Usually, she would be studying at home and going to the company occasionally. More often than not, she would be at the military compound visiting Mark and Woody.

Probably due to the return of his son, Woody’s condition stabilized a lot and he didn’t push people without reason anymore. Even his complexion was much better and with a group of elderly as companions, he seemed more energetic.

Every few days, Sophia would visit the Fletchers and Old Master Fletcher would treat her with as much enthusiasm as ever before. Guessing that he must know something, she silently accepted his kindness. For more than a decade, Mark had sealed away his enthusiasm for Cooper after his death, which he now poured all over Sophia.

On this day, Sophia paid another visit to Woody at the compound. Seeing how happy he was with the other elderlies made her equally delighted.
