Chapter 787: Chapter 790

This was the thing that the other two families were most afraid of and also the thing that the old Mitchell family was most looking forward to. If they could use legal methods to retrieve Cooper’s money, they would immediately rise to glory again and quickly surpass the other two families, which was why the other two families didn’t admit the legitimacy of Cooper’s return. They wanted him to hand them his fortune but they were also afraid that he would ask them to return his personal assets.

However, Cooper didn’t mind at all and commented, “I have forgotten about that small amount of money.”

Sean was completely speechless. Well, in Cooper’s eyes, that amount of money is indeed peanuts. He kept money all around the world and the Mitchell family went crazy for them. However, those were just dispensable chump change to him.

Later, the two of them turned to look at the screen in the home theatre in silence. At that moment, the documentary film Michael starred in was playing, and he had acted as Mark in that film. Back then, this documentary film broke the box office record and the impact on the audience was huge. All of a sudden, Cooper murmured, “Sean, thank you so much for what you’ve done these years.”

Sean was watching the film attentively so when he heard these words, he was taken aback and didn’t know how to react. Cooper had already found out about what happened for the past few years.

Fortunately, Sean remembered Woody and often visited him so Woody wasn’t too lonely. He even brought Sophia to Woody and let Woody meet his granddaughter.

“I have some chump change in the Middle East and I’ll give them to you as a small gift.”

Upon hearing that, Sean was startled. A small gift from Cooper…

On the other hand, after the film ended, Sophia stretched a little while Carmen took out the DVD and carefully put it back into the box, as if she was holding a treasure. “Mom, let’s continue watching after dinner!”

Sophia entered the kitchen and saw Linus cooking with an apron on, seemingly very busy.

Linus usually liked to cook when he had free time. Even though he was used to machines and technology and would let robots do almost anything, he preferred his food to be cooked by humans.

He hired a chef at home but when he wasn’t busy, he would cook a few dishes by himself. Sophia watched curiously as Linus cooked in the kitchen. Truth was, his cooking skills were amazing and after cooking a dish, he would even decorate the plates beautifully. Right now, Sophia wanted to have a taste so she reached over to grab some. Seeing this, Linus hurriedly snatched the plate away and gave her a bowl of porridge instead. “You can’t eat that. This is specially made for you and it’s good for your skin.”

Looking at the exquisite bowl of porridge, Sophia said in amazement, “Wow, Uncle Linus! You’re amazing! I hope I can marry you in the future.”

Linus was focused on the vegetables in the pot and did not take her words to heart. “Silly girl.”

Carmen was right next to Sophia and she yelled eagerly, “Me too! Me too! I want to marry Uncle Linus too!”

Then, Sophia carried Carmen out of the kitchen and said, “My darling, he’s your uncle… You’re still young so you can’t get married yet.”

After they left the kitchen, Sophia put Carmen down. Then, Carmen ran into Cooper’s arms and in a sweet voice, she said, “Grandpa, Mom says that she wants to marry Uncle Linus.”

“Nonsense. I didn’t say that.”

Sophia was lying on the ground, looking at the dog in the kennel. Since moving into the villa, Judge had been staying at home. Except for taking a dump and eating, Judge barely left his kennel. Come to think of it, he seemed to have come out just now but he ran back in again, seemingly angry and would not come out no matter how much Sophia coaxed.

Sophia reached out to pull the dog out as she said that to Carmen. Resting her chin on her hands, Carmen looked at Cooper innocently and asked, “Grandpa, can I marry Uncle Linus with Mom?”

Cooper smiled and picked Carmen up before he replied, “Silly girl, you’re still too young. Children can’t get married.”

Although the speaker wasn’t being intentional, the listener started to think about her words seriously.

Should I let Sophia marry Linus… Cooper fell into deep thought.

After dinner, Sean bid farewell and went home. As for Sophia, she watched movies for a little while before the nanny bathed Carmen and handed her into Sophia’s arms. After playing with Carmen for a moment, Sophia carried her upstairs to sleep.

All in all, Sophia’s schedule was pretty full as she had to go and handle the transfer process for the offices that Sam gave her. However, she couldn’t sleep and her mind was filled with Michael’s various appearances in the movie she watched during the day.

Since the last time Michael got badly beat up in a game by Cooper after trying to act cool, he had completely disappeared. He even stopped calling or sending flowers. Sophia didn’t know whether his calls were blocked by Cooper or he didn’t call at all. She stared at her phone, contemplating whether or not she should add his Messenger and ask him, when Carmen suddenly sat up and said, “Mommy, I want to call Daddy.”

Sophia was a little distressed. “But I don’t have your father’s number.”

Carmen hurriedly replied, “Nicholas knows! I call Daddy everyday!”

Nicholas moved when it heard the order and as it turned its head, light shot out from its eyes. The light shone on a wall and became a projection screen, showing them that it was dialing Michael’s number.

Sophia almost forgot that Nicholas could be used as a telephone. The call was soon answered and it turned out to be a video call. Michael appeared on the screen but the quality was pretty bad so they could only see a dark figure. It’s Michael!

For some reason, Sophia felt excited but her face was covered in gauze so nobody could see her expression.

“Hey, Carmen! Do you miss Daddy?”

Michael’s voice could be heard and it was extremely sexy and alluring. When Carmen saw her father, she was so happy that she rolled around the bed.

“Yes I do! Mommy and I miss you very much!”

Sophia was really embarrassed but it was too difficult to refute Carmen so in the end, she chose to stay silent. Michael saw Sophia too. Even though it was so dark Sophia couldn’t see his expression, she could tell that he was smiling.

“Is the cow outfit that I ordered for you pretty?”

Hearing this, Carmen stood up, showing him her new cow pajamas as she chirped happily, “Look!

Mommy and I are both wearing cow pajamas.”

In a gentle tone, Michael replied, “I’m wearing it too.”

Sophia felt even more embarrassed. Carmen’s nanny suddenly gave her a set of new pajamas today so she merely chose to wear it. She never thought that it was part of a family pajamas set and didn’t know Michael had one too.

Michael’s voice sounded a little tired as he said, “Darling, can you perform a dance for me?”

When Carmen heard this, she immediately got up and replied, “I learned a cow dance today. How about I show you my cow dance?”

As she spoke, she already started dancing. She jumped off the bed and started dancing on the rug.

Carmen shook and twisted her body this way and that. Her dancing was so lively and cute, Sophia couldn’t help but feel joy as she clapped along with her.

When Carmen finished dancing, Sophia reached over to pick Carmen up to kiss her. However, her face was still covered in gauze. My baby girl is so cute!

Michael’s gaze was full of happiness as he watched the mother and daughter hug each other. This happiness is mine and nobody can take it away from me.

Later, Carmen rolled on the bed and muttered, “Daddy, I want to be on TV.”

Upon hearing that, Michael instantly frowned. My darling’s obsession with getting on TV seems to be really deep!

With her belly facing up, Carmen kicked her small feet and said in dissatisfaction, “I want to be on TV. I want to act in movies just like Daddy. I want to play roles like heroes, villains, beautiful ladies…”
