Walking Judge and its puppies was quite stressful for Sophia. These three would demolish the house every day and make a huge mess. Simply put, they were like a Cerberus from Hell.
Judge was Stanley’s dog and he had left it at Michael’s house, but for some unknown reason Judge tended to stick to Sophia.
Maybe in this silly dog’s eyes, Michael and her were family, so it was fine with staying with either of them. However, Sophia’s place obviously had better food and treatment, plus it had a villa there.
In comparison, Bubbles and Snowball that Michael was taking for a walk were more well behaved.
These dogs were all ‘dog models’ who were under contract with Pourl. They were always sweet and well behaved, and everyone could see that Michael took good care of them.
Because they were Sophia’s dogs, Michael had been taking good care of them. He would take good care of everything that belonged to her. He had even hired someone to care for the sponge gourd she had planted in the garden.
The two walked their dogs out of the residential area and strolled around nearby before walking to a small park. Along the way, the two of them talked about their child and work, and handed the dogs to their bodyguards and had them walk the dogs.
Hale and Gary walked the dogs as they carried poop bags, silently following behind Sophia and Michael. The two walked in tandem to each other, trying to minimize their presence and the dogs as well.
“—When I brought Carmen back, she was in very bad shape. She weighed less than 2.5 kilos and was as thin as a stick. She would often fall ill and spent almost all of her time in the hospital before she was one year old.”
“I found her in an abandoned hospital in a country that was always embroiled in war. The hospital compound was full of dead people buried in the ground hastily. I held Carmen and looked everywhere for a hospital that had a spot for her, but there was war breaking out everywhere and the hospitals had no space left. So, I took her to a relatively stable country and she was taken to a hospital.”
“When she was at the hospital, she would cry every night but would stop crying whenever I went to see her. Hence, I had to go to the hospital every night to accompany her. That’s why she’s so close to me.”
“Nate was also raised by me but at the time, I was too busy and had no time to accompany him, so now he ignores me.”
“Ever since she was young, Carmen would stick to people and strive to improve. She’s like you.”
Michael recalled those hard and desperate years. They came from far away and were alone and helpless. Sophia had died and he held his weak daughter in his arms, begging for medical treatment everywhere for her.
At the time, all transportation had stopped and the country was in a mess from the war. His daughter cried hoarsely in his arms and his wife had been turned into a pot of stew. All of this tortured his nerves constantly at the time and he was on the verge of collapsing at any minute.
If it wasn’t for the strong bundle in his arms that still carried a slight warmth, Michael knew he would have lost it.
But now, everything was well. Carmen was alive and healthy, and Sophia had also returned. Although she had lost her memories of him, he would continue to wait, and would keep waiting until she returned to his side once more.
Sophia listened to Michael speak, not saying anything.
He was talking about their past again and the origin of Carmen’s name.
“After a discussion, we decided to name Carmen after the Roman goddess, Carmenta. Carmen is also the root name of the english word ‘charm’.”
Sophia still couldn’t accept that Quinton Clark was a notorious killer and an internationally wanted criminal. She also couldn’t believe that he actually did such a crazy thing back then.
Carmen was now very healthy and she was the apple of everyone’s eyes, but Sophia had never imagined that she had experienced so many hardships in her life.
As the two chatted with one another, they arrived at a convenience store. Michael stepped forward and took a look before he said, “Give us two red jujube ice creams.” He then spoke to Sophia, who was next to him. “This is your favorite.”
Sophia looked at the ice cream curiously. It wasn’t long before Michael handed a jujube ice cream to her. She was about to take a bite of her treat when the ice cream vendor suddenly spoke up. “Sir, you look very similar to someone.”
As Michael used his mobile phone to scan the QR code to make payment, he raised his eyes and smiled at the vendor. “Who do I look like?” he asked, a smile on his face.
The vendor had a worshipful look on his face. “Like Lord Taylor Murray!”
Sophia couldn’t help but burst into laughter.
It was because Michael was Taylor Murray!
This logic was…
