My Dreamy Old Husband novel Chapter 1231

Cooper had seen how attentive Anna had been in growing and caring for the flower pot. Yet, it was now abandoned by her.

“Dad!” Sophia called out to him twice before he finally hummed in response.

She glanced at the frozen roses and said, “Let’s go home; it’s getting cold.”

However, Cooper didn’t move. “You guys go ahead… I want to stay here a little longer.” His voice was filled with sadness.

Sadly, Anna was gone just like that.

She is such a ruthless person.

Meanwhile, Carmen walked away while she cried. Sophia turned around to see Cooper still standing there motionless as he gazed sadly at the pot of roses.

When Sophia turned back around, Cooper realized that his face was wet from tears that had rolled down; the warm liquid streamed down his face and froze.

Cooper knew he was going to get hurt, yet he still recklessly lunged toward it.

Anna, how can you be so cruel?

When they came home, Carmen burst into tears as soon as she saw her father. Then, the same thing happened with her uncle and Poppy came over.

“Miss Beautiful will definitely call you; don’t worry!” Sophia promised.

In the midst of her cries, Anna finally called. Carmen picked up and instantly stopped wailing.

Sitting next to her, Sophia listened to the phone call and heard that it was indeed Anna’s voice coming from the other end. Not only that, even her tone was exactly the same.

Meanwhile, Carmen dried her tears and sobbed as she spoke on the phone.

“Don’t cry, Carmen. I’ll come and visit when I’m done with work. Have a good new year! Don’t cry anymore, alright?” Anna’s voice was extremely gentle.

Drying her tears, Carmen blubbered, “Okay; come visit soon!”

“Good girl. Wait for me,” Anna replied.

After hanging up, Carmen was still depressed. Even though she knew that Anna left because of an emergency and that it wasn’t because she didn’t like her anymore, Carmen still wept whenever she thought about the fact that she wasn’t going to see Anna for a long time.

In the study upstairs, Michael hung up the phone and glanced at Linus.

The atmosphere was eerie.

As a matter of fact, Anna could not have called Carmen. Clearly, the call was made by Michael. With Linus’s special voice-changing device and Michael’s acting skills, the two cooperated seamlessly and imitated Anna perfectly.

After the call, Linus silently put away the device.

In fact, he once used this device to imitate Michael’s voice to deceive Sophia. Michael and Cooper both knew about it, but they never brought it up to her.

“Linus!” Sophia pushed open the door and came in happily. “Linus, you’re amazing for coming up with this idea. You’re the best brother ever!”

Upon hearing that, Linus immediately smiled. “Of course. After all, I’m the brother of Sophia Edwards!”

However, Michael had mixed feelings upon seeing the closeness between the siblings.

Later, Sophia was still a little concerned. “But I still feel guilty for lying to Carmen. What if she asks Anna about it the next time they meet?”
