The truth was that they were mutually in love with each other. For the sake of marrying Annabel, Cooper went so far as to abandon the entire Mitchell Family and eloped with her. His plans were very thorough. Although he was only 18 at the time, he had considered everything—he brought enough money from home, planned their escape route, and chose the safest place for them to settle down.
If everything went well, the Mitchell Family would never be able to find them. And, he succeeded. Woody did everything in his power to find them but failed to locate them.
Not long after that, Cooper sent a letter and a photo to his most trusted friend, Andrea. It was a photo of him and Annabel in an ancient town. In his letter, he claimed that the two of them were living a blissful life after settling down in a quiet, ancient town. He had opened up a bookstore, and Annabel was running a stall selling pre-cooked snacks beside the bookstore. They were very happy together.
Sam could never forget the words Annabel and Cooper had said to him before they left. “Andrea, if I have a child with Coop in the future, I’m going to name her ‘Sophia’. So-phea… It’s a name that sounds similar to yours. We will never forget you.”
He had only done what he did in a fit of rage—he simply wanted to tear them apart. However, he had not expected that his actions would lead to Annabel’s death and Cooper’s drastic personality change. Upon learning the tragedy that unfolded, he realized how wrong he had been.
Only then did he understand just how great a mistake he had made! Unable to accept the disaster he had created with his own hands, he changed his name and went abroad. Twenty years later, he finally learned the cruel truth that had occurred back then.
Fate is conspiring against me… It was late at night, yet Sam continued to pour the alcohol down his throat while reading the information on Annabel. Looking at the information, he suddenly covered his face with his hands and wept bitterly.
I never thought that things would unfold in this manner! I just wanted to separate the two of them! I never imagined that the Mitchell Family would kill her just to make Cooper give up! Cooper and I both thought that she was dead! We thought everything was over! To think that Annabel was still alive! In a place neither Cooper nor I knew about, she was raped by a fat b*stard and gave birth to his child! I can’t believe it! She wasn’t killed by the Mitchell Family. Instead, she died while giving birth! Her child, Sophia, was born without parents. Moreover, she suffered through so much pain too! Everything—all of this—is my fault! It’s all my fault!
“Anna… It’s all my fault… It’s all my fault…” Sam muttered repeatedly, his soul plunging into endless darkness.
There were many cats and dogs on the island, and Judge stepped away to play on its own. After a while, it brought its new friend with it to Sophia to be petted.
“Oh, it’s you again, Corrado!” Sophia petted Corrado’s head. It had followed Judge back. This time around, it was wearing a collar. It turned out that it had a name—it was called ‘Blackie’. However, she felt that the name ‘Corrado’ suited it much better.
After playing together for a while, Judge and Corrado disappeared off somewhere. To prevent Judge from eating feces again, she borrowed a muzzle from one of the other ladies and fitted Judge with it. After conversing with the ladies, she noticed Michael beckoning her from afar. Thus, she hurried over.
Michael was only wearing a pair of beach pants as he sat under the beach umbrella, drinking tea and admiring the sea with a group of bigshots surrounding him.
Lucy was wearing a dark blue one-piece swimsuit that showed off her fair skin and slender figure. Similarly, Sophia was also wearing a dark blue one-piece swimsuit with a light jacket thrown over her shoulders. Her long, slender legs were vaguely revealed under the jacket. Our outfits clash! This is so embarrassing!
Everybody glanced at Joe, who was very fat, then they glanced at Sophia in surprise. Did the wife of this fat b*stard cheat on him? How could he have such a pretty daughter with those looks of his? Or, did she undergo plastic surgery?
