My Dreamy Old Husband novel Chapter 467

Michael finally asked Sean.

By that point, Sean decided that he had nothing to lose and fished out a photograph from his pocket. “I found a photo of Uncle Cooper and his girlfriend.”

Michael snatched the photograph from Sean—in it was Cooper and Annabel. She was only about 17 or 18 when she took that photo and compared to Sophia in her twenties, the resemblance was uncanny!

Sean continued, “Back when the old man thought I was Uncle Cooper, we talked and he would tell me stories about how he secretly let the girl go. I only assumed that he was rambling. It was only after he showed me this picture that I realized how much Sophia resembles the girl in it. Also, when the Old Master treated her as Uncle Cooper, I began to pick up on things.”

“About that financial incident in Kuwait, I was the one who disclosed it to Sophia. My guess was that if she’s Uncle Cooper’s daughter, she would be able to find a way to run off with the money. When it really happened, I knew that my suspicions were confirmed.”

After Sean had come clean, Sophia couldn’t help but feel flustered. It turned out that they were deceiving each other all along—she pretended that she ran off with the money while he hid the fact that he already knew that she was the one who did it.

He played dumb when he knew everything that happened.

Michael had more questions and asked sternly, “Is that all? Is there anyone else who knows about this?”

Sophia was shocked as she had never seen her husband’s cold, somber side before.

Sean immediately answered, “The old man secretly gave me this picture when he thought I was his son. I’ve been investigating this on my own all this while. No one knew—not even my grandfather. Initially, I never knew that Uncle Cooper had any children and I wasn’t prepared to drag Sophia into the Mitchell Family’s mess. I only wanted to fulfil the old man’s wishes. When I knew that Uncle Cooper was still alive, I was hoping to look for him through you and Sophia. I swear I never told anyone!”

 

Once he said those words, he closed his eyes, resigning to his fate of having his life being taken by Michael.

“It’s pointless for me to continue with my life. Michael, if you want to take my life, please do. My only request is that you would look for Uncle Cooper and bring him home as the Mitchell Family needs him.”

 

Michael regarded Sean with his cold stare and deep in his thoughts.

Sophia had made it clear that he was not to harm Sean.

Sean was her brother and he was the one who cared for Old Master Mitchell all along. When Natasha had kidnapped Sophia, Sean was the first one to head out and rescue her, even having a near death encounter with the Phantom Wolf.

Michael glanced at a determined Sophia before looking at Sean, who was prepared to sacrifice his life and still remained speechless.

Sean’s life was at his mercy.

Stanley’s voice reverberated through the door all of a sudden. “Eh? Mr. Harry, what are you doing here? Where are Sophia and Sean?”

Harry replied, “Silly dog, why are you not heading home yet?”

In the ward, Michael finally broke the silence. “I don’t give a d*mn as to what happens in the Mitchell Family. If the Mitchell Family dares to lay a hand on my woman, don’t blame me for being mean by then.”

Upon realizing his close escape from death, Sean promised, “Don’t worry, Michael. I won’t tell a single soul. Sophia’s not just my sister, but she’s also my friend.”

Michael turned and left. As he opened the door and walked out, Sophia let out a sigh of relief.

Sophia and Sean were the only ones left in the ward.

He stood up and pulled Sophia with him. In his usual tone, he said, “Sophia, let’s borrow the windbreaker from Nicole. If we are lucky, we might still be able to look for Uncle Cooper’s DNA on it.”
