My Dreamy Old Husband novel Chapter 1175

The brothers looked at each other in horror.

Because Jordan’s identity had never been made public, and both Callum and Cade were test-tube babies, the public had always thought that Anna was single. Many intended to become the Yards’ live-in son-in-law, so there were many people that wanted to go out with her.

Maybe Cooper is trying to court Anna too? Maybe everything he did in the past was just a trick he pulled to attract her attention—by pretending to be cold and then taking the initiative to approach Anna?

If this is the case, then Cooper is indeed a master!

‘Is your dad trying to bed my mom?’

Sophia: ‘Bed your ass!”

Cade: ‘Sophia, you might become my sister tomorrow. Watch your words.’

Sophia: ‘F*ck off!’

Cade put his phone away and took a sip of tea as he pricked his ears up to focus on the conversation between Cooper and Anna.

There was nothing unusual about the conversation.

“It’s just a dog, and I still have to bother you to send it back in the middle of the night. I’m really sorry. Why don’t…” Anna let out a chuckle and continued, “I treat you to a meal tomorrow.”

After all, Anna had always wanted to talk about the company’s business with Cooper. But, the most important reason was that she wanted to get to know him better. There was something about him that made her feel like having a meal with him would be interesting.

Unexpectedly, Cooper rejected her. “I’m sorry. I have an appointment tomorrow.”

Checking the time, Cooper found that he had been staying for almost fifteen minutes. Quickly, he got up to his feet and said, “It’s getting late. I should stop bothering you now. Goodbye.”

This was what Cooper was supposed to be like.

Now that Cooper had decided to leave, Anna didn’t try to keep him. Standing up, she sent him to the door.

The moment she opened the door, a gust of snowy wind came rushing into the house. Subconsciously, Cooper went to the front and protected Anna, who was thinly dressed, from the biting cold wind.

“There’s no need to send me out. It’s cold; you should go back.”

He did not turn around and merely stood by the door as he said that. As soon as he finished speaking, he walked into the night quietly.

Piece by piece, the snowflakes that fell gradually made the night colder. They fell onto Cooper’s eyebrows and the tip of his hairs, but he didn’t seem to have noticed it.

He walked alone under the light of the lonely street lamps. His shoulders were covered with snow and dim lights, but his heart was a mixture of cold and warm.

As he walked, he found his face turning numb from the coldness, and he felt cold tears all over his face when he touched it.

Looking at the inky night sky above, he observed the never-ending snow that fell from the sky. They landed on his face like a knife cut. Every snowflake was like cuts on his skin, but he could only feel the pain in his heart.

He recalled the short meeting with Anna earlier. He remembered every word she said to him, and her smile was engraved in his heart. Countless times, he felt like he could not resist confessing at the very next second.

He had forgiven everything about her. She was just a lonely, weak woman. She did not want to live under the control of others, and she had her own hardships.

Suddenly, he remembered that night that was as cold as today. The both of them ran away from Bayside City to the south. While they were inside the green train, he noticed that something was wrong. Someone seemed to be watching them.

Anna took him away and they hid inside the train’s bathroom.

Inside the cold and dirty bathroom, they held onto each other tightly to keep one another warm. They did not dare to sleep throughout the night. Anna was determined to find a seat close to the bathroom because she knew that the killer was coming.

The killer was there to kill Cooper.

In the middle of their trip, they decided to change their plans and went to a place that was not part of their initial plan: the Ancient Town of Scarlett.

That was because Anna had leaked their plan to Jordan in advance. Therefore, no matter where they went, the killer would have found them.

So, Anna had to change their plans.

They thought that once they reached that place, no one would be able to find them. They had not expected that a postcard to check in with their family would expose their whereabouts—it was a terrible mistake in hindsight.

It’s all fate…

Cooper looked up into the sky. His boiling tears turned extremely cold the moment they fell from his eyes.
