The kindergarten’s final year performance was approaching, so Carmen dragged Cooper over to the Yard Family.
“Let’s go, Grandpa! Let’s go get Miss Beautiful to come and see my performance.”
Carmen was known as the prettiest and most ambitious kindergartener. Her whole family would naturally come and watch her performance, but she really wanted to invite Anna over as well.
As Carmen dragged him along, Cooper didn’t seem too enthusiastic about the idea. Nonetheless, his feet moved uncontrollably.
Yet, he wasn’t able to control the love he felt for her.
The last time Anna was sick, he visited her briefly before he stopped going over. However, he didn’t stop Carmen from stealing her father’s roses and sending them to Anna every day under Cooper’s name.
Meanwhile, Anna had been recuperating and rarely went out of the house; her face brightened up when she saw that Cooper had come to visit her.
“You’re here, Mr. Mitchell. Please come and have a seat.”
Anna invited Cooper into the living room as the latter sat down silently while Carmen jumped into Anna’s arms. “Grandpa and I have come to see you, Miss Beautiful!”
Anna kissed Carmen on the cheeks and replied affectionately, “You’re so sweet, Carmen. That is why I like you the most.”
After greeting Anna, Carmen kept winking at Cooper, who was sulking on the sofa.
Cooper felt reluctant but there was a tug at his heartstrings—he wanted to be with Anna and spend time with her.
Finally, he mustered the courage to pull out a pink invitation and handed it to Anna. “Mrs. Yard, this is an invitation to Carmen’s year-end performance at her kindergarten. Carmen hopes that you can go and see her performance.”
Anna took the invitation and read it; it clearly stated that Carmen’s parents were invited to the kindergarten.
Anna teased Carmen and said, “The invitation is for Carmen’s parents and grandparents, so I can’t go.”
Carmen replied innocently, “It’s okay, I’ll just tell the teacher that Miss Beautiful is my grandmother.”
Anna froze for a while, but she smiled as she glanced over and saw Cooper’s embarrassed face.
“Don’t be ridiculous!” Cooper scolded, but his heart was thumping fast.
Anna hugged Carmen and laughed. “I’ll be Carmen’s grandmother for a day, okay?”
“Yes! Yes!” Carmen exclaimed.
Anna hugged and kissed Carmen again with an unusual feeling of happiness in her heart.
…
When Carmen came home, Sophia gave her a long lecture.
“How can Miss Beautiful be your grandmother? Don’t talk nonsense! Don’t simply call her names!”
Carmed pouted. “Miss Beautiful has already agreed to come, so you can’t stop her from coming to the kindergarten!”
Sophia was speechless.
She wanted to say something bad about Anna so that Carmen would stop playing with her, but as soon as the words came to mind, she swallowed them back.
What an ill-fated relationship! At the end of the day, Anna is still my mother.
She was more worried about Cooper.
Many years ago, Annabel had already cheated him once; there was bound to be a second time…
Who knows if she has an ulterior motive now? Is there a hidden purpose for coming back?
She was Anna Yard, the President of the Ronney Group! She was no longer Annabel Johnson!
Despite Sophia’s objections, Anna had arrived together with Callum and Cade.
