My Dreamy Old Husband novel Chapter 821

Michael was touched.

My little girl is all grown up and sensible now. She already understands how hard her father works.

However, Sophia was a little upset. She pursed her lips and purposely complained, “Then what about me? Aren’t you going to take care of me?”

Carmen glanced at Cooper, who still had a dark look on his face, and said, “I’ll take care of daddy, and daddy and grandpa will take care of you!”

Sophia was amused by Carmen’s words and the family of three walked together happily. At that moment, Cooper looked like an outsider.

They only needed a few shots in the film studio and they had finished filming in one day. There was another scene in the museum, and per the director’s order, they were going to film it at the Bayside City museum.

The shooting time there had been scheduled and they had two days of free time, so there was enough time for them to stay at the film studio for one night and travel around to see pandas.

After dinner, the lights in the studio were turned on, illuminating the night sky. When they were eating dinner just now, Carmen buried her face in the bowl halfway through the meal and she was so exhausted, she fell asleep. Sophia placed her in the hotel room and asked the nanny to watch over her before she got ready to head out.

Michael was a frequent visitor to the film studio so he said, “You’ve been to this film studio before, but let me show you around!”

Sophia naturally accepted his invitation. Michael knew that at this time, his father-in-law would definitely follow them so he could ruin Michael’s plans. However, Cooper was quiet. He was so quiet, Sophia thought that it was strange so she asked, “Dad, aren’t you going to join us?”

 

Cooper shook his head and replied, “You two go ahead and have fun. Remember to come back early.”

After he finished speaking, he put down his knife and fork and went out alone, his figure forlorn.

 

Watching Cooper leave alone, Sophia was still confused. “… What’s wrong with him?” Looking at Cooper’s figure, Michael suddenly felt a little sorry for his father-in-law.

This place was filled with Cooper’s memories. Back then, the film studio was not a film studio, but an old town. He and Annabel had eloped and came here but unexpectedly, as soon as they settled down, Sam had told the Mitchell family, and he was forced to go back.

Michael knew all about Cooper’s experiences, so he always cherished the people he loved— Cooper lost Annabel and he could never make up for it.

Michael also lost Sophia once, but God gave him a chance to make it up to her so he swore to never lose her a second time!

Cooper silently went to the place he and Annabel once lived. After they eloped and came here back then, he found a job at a bookstore and Annabel set up a stall nearby to sell some food she made.

They thought that they could live their lives like that forever.

Unfortunately…

He walked past the bookstore where he used to work, which had already been demolished and replaced with a souvenir shop. The small building they used to live in was completely demolished too and replaced with an antique small building for the crew to film.

The only thing that I can find is probably the masonry bridge where we once took a photo…

Late at night, Cooper stood on the masonry bridge like a stone statue. He looked in one direction, at a place he wouldn’t be able to go.

My beloved Annabel is right there…

Meanwhile, Michael took Sophia to the night market. Although Cooper wasn’t with them, he had ordered two bodyguards to follow Sophia. The night market was really lively and there were all kinds of delicious food on display.

“I want to eat barbecue!”

“I want to eat noodles!”

“I want to eat lobsters!”

“I want to eat fries!”
