After they finished reading the script, Carmen said, “Daddy, come join us for dinner.”
As soon as Cooper heard this, he was upset. However, before he said anything, Carmen put on an innocent look and said, “I want to eat dinner with daddy.”
Michael grabbed the chance and pulled Carmen into his arms as he dotingly replied, “Okay, I’ll eat dinner with you.”
After dinner, Michael went home but before he left, he gestured to Sophia to play computer games later.
‘Swordsman Game’ was extremely lively that day because the number of players online was two to three times more than usual. Naturally, it was because of Taylor’s comeback. It was only then that they realized that it really was Taylor behind Scary Phoenix all along!
As soon as Sophia logged on, she saw Taylor’s name everywhere. It was obvious that his fans were really happy and excited for his new movie.
In just a day, the news of Taylor’s comeback seemed to have spread throughout the world, and even people who weren’t movie buffs knew about it.
Because the news of Taylor’s endorsement of L/K and the scheduled release of ‘The National Treasury Action’ was announced one after another today, not only did it make the stocks of L/K and ‘The National Treasury Action’ go up, even the stocks of the gaming company that owned the ‘Swordsman Game’ and Stanley’s Plum Technology soared.
As for the magazine issue that was published by Maddie’s company, it was sold out in half a day. Everyone welcomed Taylor’s return happily and nobody brought up his fake death.
After Sophia logged into the game, it was filled with fans calling out to Scary Phoenix.
Amidst their calls, Scary Phoenix appeared and swept across the sky like a rainbow, shocking thousands of fans and gamers.
When Sophia arrived at their usual gathering point, she realized everyone else had also arrived.
Naturally, Stanley and Sean were there. Sarah and Harry were also present. Cooper, Linus, and Sophia’s family of three had also arrived, and so had Michael and Nathan.
With Cooper there, nobody dared to speak except Michael. “Wow, father-in-law, good evening.”
From the beginning till the end, Cooper didn’t say anything. Everyone teamed up, entered the game, and played in complete silence.
However, they were sending voice messages in the Messenger group.
“Oh my god, Grandmaster is so awesome. I want to follow him everywhere. I don’t care! Grandmaster is mine!”
Stanley had changed from being his uncle’s die hard fan to being Cooper’s die hard fan.
“Sophia, your father is amazing, so why are you so bad at this? If only you were half as good as your father!”
Sophia didn’t say anything. She just stayed behind Cooper and easily passed through each challenge.
Meanwhile, Michael fought side by side with Cooper the whole time. However, Cooper would never have thought that at that moment, Michael and Sophia were talking on the phone. He kept an eye on Sophia online and offline all the time, and he even eavesdropped whenever they called each other. It was almost impossible for Michael to spend time alone with Sophia.
Even if he lured Cooper away, there were bodyguards watching them.
Which was why playing games was a great opportunity. In Michael’s study, Michael had connected Nicholas to his computer. At that moment, Nicholas was killing monsters with Michael’s gaming account while Michael was lying at the side and talking to Sophia on the phone.
It was the only time Cooper wouldn’t come to bother them. After all, calling Sophia under his nose was the safest solution. Holding the phone, Michael got up, pulled open the curtains, and looked at Villa No.2. He could see that the lights in Sophia’s study were on, and the soft light reflected in his eyes that were full of tenderness.
“Sophia, I don’t want to pressure you. You just need to follow your heart and slowly accept everything…”
