When Sophia took the passport, there was an unfamiliar name on it—Scarlett Mitchell. “Dad, why is my name Scarlett?”
Upon seeing the name, Cooper had mixed feelings about it and explained after sitting next to her, “Back then, your mom and I eloped to a historical town known as Ancient Town of Scarlett, which was where she conceived you.”
“Oh, okay.” She kept her passport away before asking in an innocent manner. “Do I have to change my name in the future?”
He looked at her lovingly like how an old father would. “You don’t have to. It’s a name that your mother gave to you, so we will not change it all. The name ‘Scarlett Mitchell’ is a temporary identity as you had many enemies in Cethos in the past. I’m just scared that they might take their revenge on you, so if anyone asks for your name, just tell them that you are Scarlett or Lucile Michel. Got it?”
Even though she felt awkward, she still kept the passport safely in her bag and continued to watch her movie on the laptop.
An enthusiastic Cooper poked his head to have a look at the movie Sophia watched. “Darling, what movie are you watching? Can I join you?”
Sophia chuckled before turning the laptop in Cooper’s direction, thereafter he saw two lines—‘War Dragon’ and ‘Main actors: Taylor Murray and Ethan Winston’.
“This is not a good film to watch. The ratings are extremely low. Let me recommend another movie to you,” Cooper immediately said.
However, Sophia thought that it was decent. “I think it’s quite good. Look at this—it was an international box office with billions back then! It has remained as the highest in Cethos as no one has been able to break its record so far.”
He was still against it. “The main actor is a scumbag. Don’t watch.”
She pouted unhappily and frowned at him before she answered in a hoarse voice, “Dad, it’s just a movie…”
Ten minutes later, ‘War Dragon’ was being screened through the audio surround sound and 3D visual effects in the private jet’s family cinema. It had entertained Sophia so much that she forgot to eat her popcorn.
On the other hand, Cooper was forced to watch it with her, resulting in his face darkening throughout the entire film whereas Linus felt like laughing out loud.
The moment the powerful Cooper Mitchell, also known as the callous Fass Michel, became a loving father, his insensitivity melted into one of vulnerability. He could treat the entire world cruelly, but not his little princess.
Sophia felt a familiar sense of longing for her motherland when she alighted from the plane as soon as it landed in Cethos. Every inch of soil beneath her feet bore familiarity and she even found the air welcoming.
Since their hospital appointment was on the next day, they still had some free time on their hands. After settling down at the hotel, she immediately wanted to look around the town in excitement. Of course, Cooper had personally tagged along with her.
He would feel that he was about to lose his little princess even if she left him for a second.
It was already the snowy season in Bayside City with beautiful wintry scenery—lanterns hung everywhere, creating a festive aura for the new year. After she walked around the busiest spot and bought a lot of things, Linus brought her to have a hotpot.
She seemed to have discovered a brand new world as soon as she finished the hotpot—the taste was unforgettable and she wanted to have it for her daily meals.
Once she was satiated, she did not rush back to the hotel and walked around instead before stumbling upon a cafe. Then, she announced in surprise, “Dad, look at this cat cafe!”
Before Cooper could even react to Sophia’s words, she already ran toward it in excitement. Then, she looked at the cats which stood outside the shop window.
“Dad, look! There are so many beautiful cats!”
Next to the cat cafe was a pet shop and opposite was an animal luxury brand store with the
Standing outside the pet shop, she leaned against the glass to have a look inside.
At the shop window was a beautiful huge dog with its leash that looked like it was being exhibited—a purebred husky with an impressive collar around its neck.
The husky gave many idiotic expressions as it looked at Sophia from the other end of the glass. As it was her first time seeing such a beautiful dog, she was shocked.
Apart from that, two large poodles lay in the kitchen, giving off the aura of adult bulky men, while not too far away was a white Samoyed.
She pouted. “That is his dog. I want my own dog.”
