Ever since Annabel’s passing, Cooper rarely took any photos. Now that he was reunited with his daughter, he picked up the camera again and took Sophia’s photos.
Just look at how beautiful his daughter was; she was absolutely adorable.
Holding his DSLR, Cooper snapped away at Sophia’s every move. He could even take a dozen shots of Sophia picking strawberries.
After snapping photos of his daughter, it was his granddaughter’s turn. He took close up shots of Carmen who was naturally photogenic and she effortlessly posed for the camera.
She was truly the apple of his eye. To him, she was extremely lovable; everything she did was nothing but adorable.
After taking Carmen’s photos, Michael also secretly snapped a few photos of Sophia.
Unfortunately for him, he was caught by Cooper. Immediately, Cooper strode over and blocked the shot, turning around to viciously glare at Michael.
Upon seeing that, Michael grunted in disdain.
What a hypocrite Cooper was. He was allowed to snap photos of Michael’s daughter, but Michael was not allowed to take photos of Sophia?
Despite that, Michael still managed to sneak a few photos, all of which he was reluctant to delete.
Other than photos of Carmen, his photo album was filled with photos of his pets and Sophia.
He was unwilling to delete any of her photos. Not only did he get them printed and made an album, he also kept them on his phone.
At that moment, Sophia found an unusually good-looking strawberry and couldn’t bring herself to eat it, so she handed it to Cooper. “Here you go, Dad.”
Following her example, Carmen found a nice strawberry too and gave it to Michael. “Here you go, Daddy.”
And so, the two fathers ate the strawberries happily.
Then, Sophia found another one and gave it to Michael. “This is for you, Michael.”
Upon seeing this, Cooper was about to stop her when Carmen’s dirt covered hands tugged at his pants. She was holding a flattened piece of strawberry when she said, “Grandpa, this is for you.”
Being held back by Carmen, Cooper felt embarrassed to stop the couple. Reluctantly, he watched as Sophia handed a strawberry to Michael.
At that moment, Michael’s hands were full. His left hand was holding the basket while his phone was in his right hand. Hence, he opened his mouth and waited to be fed. Sophia did not think anything of it and fed him.
Michael finished the strawberry in one bite and smiled at her.
Embarrassed, Sophia looked away. Their fingers had accidentally touched earlier and everytime she thought about his unusually soft touch, she instantly felt warm.
While she picked the strawberries, she would occasionally glance at him. When their eyes met, they would smile at each other.
On the other hand, the more Cooper watched their interactions, the more riled up he got. The whole time, Carmen’s dirt covered hands were tugging at his pants, leaving two little dirty handprints on it. She pouted and asked, “Grandpa, were my strawberries no good?”
Cooper hurried to reply, “Of course they were! How could they not be?”
Looking at him, Carmen seemed unhappy. “So, why do you look unhappy?”
He immediately choked out a laugh. “I am happy! I’m laughing happily right now!”
Upon hearing this, Carmen smiled. She turned around and picked a strawberry that was not ripe, giving it to her grandfather and refused to let him leave unless he ate it. The whole while, her hands were tightly holding onto his pants.
Cooper grew more anxious as he watched Michael and Sophia flirt with each other. They were walking further and further away, while Carmen still refused to release him and insisted that Cooper ate the strawberry. Each strawberry tasted worse than the one before. Cooper did not look happy while he ate, which upset Carmen even more.
He felt awful.
Standing on the other side was Linus, who couldn’t help but laugh as he shook his head.
Oh, Cooper…
