My Dreamy Old Husband novel Chapter 1105

In the past, Anna was just one of the many secret agents Jordan had trained. After he discovered that she was an eligible heir to the Yard Family, he helped her return to her family, protected her and even assisted her in taking control of her family business.

She was infertile, so he found her a surrogate mother, who then gave birth to their twins, Cade and Callum. The twins, who were part of the Yard Family, strengthened Anna’s position within the family.

Then, she started to change.

Initially, she had to rely on him for her own survival, so she would do whatever she was told to do.

After taking over the Yard Family, she remained respectful of him and never dared to disobey his orders. On the other hand, he made every business decision behind the scenes and assisted their sons to rise to power.

His twin sons inherited his good genes, so they grew up to be successful businessmen as well. With Anna, Cade and Callum in place, the Yard Family was well within his control.

Then, Anna began to change. She transformed from a timid and insignificant person into the brightest star the world had ever seen.

The process was long and gradual. When Jordan noticed her transformation, she was already out of his grip.

Nevertheless, he was unresigned because he firmly believed that both the Yard Family and Anna belonged to him. Not only did he want her to stay by his side, but her heart, which Cooper could only long for, was also supposed to belong to him.

…

When Sophia returned home with bags in her hands, dinner was ready to be served. After taking a shower in Villa No. 2, Linus, who had brought his fur kids along, came to have dinner with them.

After Linus moved into Villa No. 2, Michael discovered that he had taken in more dogs, whose names were Blessing, Lucky, Happy, Cutie, Bobby and so on.

Linus had never given any serious thought when naming his dogs, and his fur kids, which were mostly rescued from the streets, looked identical. Therefore, Michael seriously thought that Linus only had one dog all this while, and that he just called the same dog different names from time to time.

Also, he didn’t like the fact that Linus came to have free meals with his fur kids. With so many dogs with him, he should just open a pet shop! Even if we’re rich, we are not supposed to spend so much money on dog food!

However, he then recalled that his family had purchased some diamond mines in Africa, so they could totally spend lavishly on dog food.

Meanwhile, even the night-shift security guard and the cats from the Imperial Palace were here to enjoy free meals. After examining the bracelet, the rolls of silk and the umbrella, which were all gifted by Anna, with the help of a flashlight, the security guard commented, “We have the same kind of bracelet at the museum, which was discovered when the archeologists were unearthing the royal tomb. Given its historical significance, the bracelet is worth about a few million. These rolls of silk are ‘The Fragrant Silk’ as recorded in ancient books, which was a kind of fabric exclusive to the imperial family. The weaving technique has been lost to time. Smell it and you’ll discover that there’s a special aroma coming from the fabric. No one knows how it was made or what ingredients were used. It’s stated in the ancient books that the aroma of the silk will not wear off no matter how many times you wash it. We once discovered this kind of silk from a tomb years ago, but as soon as the tomb was opened, the silk decomposed within a few minutes. Until now, we haven’t had any real samples of it. On the other hand, there’s nothing special with this umbrella. It’s made using a traditional technique and modern materials. However, it’s still valuable because Louis Osborne has painted on it.”

…

Sophia asked the security guard to stay for dinner because he was a knowledgeable man. Even Linus decided to bring over his collection of antiques for him to have a look.

After what happened earlier, Linus had thought that Cooper would throw a tantrum just like what he previously did. However, to his surprise, Cooper didn’t seem to be different from his usual self. He didn’t only come downstairs for dinner on time, but he also stayed in the living room to watch television.

Worried about his father-in-law, Michael went over and asked, “Dad, are you really okay? You can tell us about it.”
