My Dreamy Old Husband novel Chapter 1202

Carmen walked over to Anna’s house almost every day. The young girl often spent her time hanging out there—it was probably because she had the intention of adopting a corgi once she got closer to the family. That day, she dragged Cooper along with her. “Come on, Grandpa. We can invite Miss Beautiful over to my kindergarten’s year-end performance.”

Cooper frowned at this before he turned around and forcefully edged himself away from the exit. He didn’t want to have any interactions with Anna; he didn’t want Carmen talking to Anna either, but Carmen insisted on visiting her house almost every day. Seeing that Cooper refused to go along with her, Carmen stuck her lips out into a pout. “I’m going to start rolling on the ground and throw a tantrum, Grandpa. Are you scared yet?”

Ah, she’s going to throw a tantrum. How scary. Cooper unwillingly followed behind Carmen as the young girl dragged him over to Anna’s house. She was familiar with the route heading toward their place, and she knocked on the door upon her arrival. Both Callum and Cade were home, and they fought to open the door once they realized that Cooper was paying them a visit. In the end, Callum was the one who greeted Cooper with a wide grin on his face. “Do come in, Mr. Mitchell.”

Cooper didn’t want to go in, but Carmen dragged him inside nonetheless. She walked around as if it were her own house, and she quickly went over to the shoe cabinet before pulling out a pair of pink indoor slippers for herself. Then, she got one for Cooper as well.

Indeed, Anne wasn’t around that day as she had learned her lesson after getting beaten the last time; she no longer dared to pester Anna any longer. Soon enough, Anna came down from the second floor in a pearl-white long gown that suited her elegant aura. She was dressed in a casual and simple outfit, but it made her look classy and chic at the same time.

“Carry me, Miss Beautiful.” Carmen reached her arms out, and Anna lovingly lifted her up before she walked toward Cooper and sat down beside him on the couch.

“Mr. Mitchell.” Anna felt an inexplicable sense of joy within her when she saw that Cooper had come to visit.

“I’m sorry for disturbing you, Mrs. Yard,” replied Cooper as he nodded without forgetting his manners. After sitting around for a while, Anna made the first move to initiate random topics of conversation with Cooper. Meanwhile, Carmen’s babysitter pulled a small, delicate little basket out. There was a pink cloth draped over the basket, and there were bacon slices wrapped in paper underneath the pink cloth. Oddly enough, there was a ribbon tied around the basket of bacon strips, and there were two odd roses placed in the basket—the roses were even pleasantly scented. What is this odd combination of bacon and roses all about? Cooper wondered.

Carmen slowly placed the cloth over the basket and covered it after she took a peek. She then turned to Cooper before blinking at him with her large, watery eyes. Cooper was a little slow, and he widened his eyes to indicate that he didn’t understand what the young girl meant by that. Carmen responded by looking beside him before winking twice. Cooper got it then—Carmen wanted him to present the bacon as a gift for Anna. He was shocked. How can this young brat steal all the bacon from our house just to give it to someone else?!

However, Anna already saw the pink cane basket in the room, and she eyed it curiously. “Did you bring something delicious over for me again, Carmen?” Carmen dropped by to play with the dogs every once in a while, and she always brought some snacks as a token of appreciation for allowing her to play with the dogs. Since Cooper didn’t make a move, Carmen personally placed the basket on the coffee table. “This is freshly made bacon from our house. My Grandpa came here just to give this to you, Miss Beautiful,” Carmen said in a sweet voice.

Cooper felt the muscles in his face twitching as color filled his cheeks. Now that the bacon is already in Anna’s hands, I can’t take it back anymore, can I? Furthermore, she seems pretty glad to see the gift. Despite living a life of luxury, she had never tried it before. “Bacon?” she asked curiously. However, she was even more surprised to see the two roses in the basket when she uncovered the gift. She froze for a moment as she felt her heart fluttering in her chest. “Thank you,” she said gently as she picked the roses up.
