My Dreamy Old Husband novel Chapter 1079

As Michael, who accompanied Sophia, walked in the door, he saw a classy lady in the private room who seemed to be in her early 30s. She was extremely beautiful, so if she were a few years younger, she’d definitely be a veritable beauty, though she was also no slouch now. Judging from her aura, she was definitely from a wealthy family. Mrs. Anna Yard? And she even seems acquainted with Sophia. Anna… could it be what I’m thinking? It was exactly as he thought.

Never had Sophia expected that the person she saw the moment she opened the door would be Anna Yard, the person who held the real power in Yard Group and the mother of Cade and Callum Yard!

Upon seeing her, Anna put down the teacup in her hand and raised her head a fraction. “Have a seat,” she murmured elegantly.

Sophia was still flustered from astonishment, but a flurry of movements came from the cat carrier in the hands of Hale who came with them. As soon as the cat carrier was opened, General who was inside leaped out and flew into Anna’s arm, meowing loudly. Meow! The sound was long and piercing, carrying the joy of seeing its owner while also complaining at the same time—I was at a commoner’s house yesterday, and the cat food was horrible! They even had a litter of local breeds that batted me!

Sophia gave a dry chuckle before sitting down on the sofa across from Anna. “I didn’t know it’s your cat, Mrs. Yard. No wonder it’s so elegant.”

This is also a descendant of the Imperial cat? It’s very much different compared to the ancient Imperial Palace’s Imperial cat!

At this time, Michael quietly sat down beside Sophia as well. Then, he scrutinized the woman in front of him. So, she’s Anna Yard. He surreptitiously studied her face, but it was entirely different from the Annabel Johnson he imagined. No matter her countenance, aura, or temperament, they’re two entirely different people, and she never had cosmetic surgery.

The only picture left of Annabel Johnson is that of her at 18 or 19 years old. Meanwhile, a woman’s countenance is wholly different when she’s in her teens than when she’s 45 or 46 years old. There’s a 20 plus year gap, and the life experience throughout that time is sufficient to render one’s temperament and countenance completely different. So, is she Annabel Johnson? Unfortunately, I’ve never really interacted with that mother-in-law of mine, so Cooper may be the only who can tell.

But if she’s really Annabel Johnson, she already has another family. If I tell Sophia and Cooper about her, how would they be able to accept it? After mulling it over, Michael nixed the idea. If Anna Yard is truly Annabel Johnson, it’s fate that they met again. Fate is in God’s hands, so I don’t need to do anything deliberate. They’ll recognize the relationship between them when the time is right.

Anna personally poured Sophia a cup of tea, her long and slender fingers exceedingly delicate and lovely. As she did so, she remarked, “I brought General to the ancient Imperial Palace yesterday, but it unexpectedly got lost. I searched for an eternity.”

The Yard Family originated around the Lombardi River where their political power was also centralized. When their imperial power was later demolished, their palace was torched by the peasant army. The previous dynasty replicated the Yard Family’s palace to the current Bayside City, turning it to the ancient Imperial Palace today that still preserved some of the structure of the Yard Family back then. If it were a few hundred years ago, she could probably enter the ancient Imperial Palace freely, but she now needed an admission ticket, so she probably felt a tad resentful.

Sophia didn’t know what to say to that, so she chortled. “There are indeed a lot of people in the ancient Imperial Palace, so even a lost person would be difficult to find, let alone a cat.” Picking up the tea Anna slipped over to her, she lightly took a sip. It’s sweet and fragrant. It’s quality tea.
