My Dreamy Old Husband novel Chapter 1389

Could it be that Jordan is planning to deal with Cooper at the engagement ceremony? Or did Cooper and Lucy join forces to tackle Jordan? Maybe Cooper and Anna are the ones who want to go after Jordan?

“What’s so significant about the event?”

“Anyway, it’s not a trap,” Callum answered. “You’ll know after you arrive. Just come and watch the show—it’s going to be a big one!”

A big show?

The next day, the stylists arrived on time and dolled Cooper and Linus up. When they left for the banquet, Sophia quickly tagged along to find out what the ‘big show’ was about.

The public was aware that today was the engagement day of the Edwards’ young lady, Lucy Edwards and her fiancé, a CEO from an overseas corporation. The bridegroom was a successful and mature man in his fifties. Everyone deemed the couple as a perfect match and that their marriage was a blessing from above.

The nosy media couldn’t lavish enough praise on the couple, asserting that they were a match made in heaven and the perfect combination. However, none of them dared to publish a picture of the couple.

After arriving at the engagement banquet, Sophia finally got to see the ‘perfect’ fiancé. Oh well, I guess I have to redefine the media’s descriptions…

The fiancé was much older than Jordan.

Lucy had now established her influence in the Edwards Group and had conquered every department. Ever since Henry and his twin brother passed away, Callum and Cade seemed to have ceased taking action against the Edwards Group. As such, Lucy would become the future owner of the corporation if everything went well.

Numerous big shots from the military, political and business circles showed up at Lucy’s engagement ceremony today. The event was held with great pomp and there were many guests from the bridegroom’s end as well. After years of giving up on keeping his body in good shape, Lucy’s fiancé had a pot belly which resembled that of a pregnant woman. Standing beside Lucy, he was like a huge barrel whose size was twice as big as hers.

Upon seeing that, Sophia murmured inwardly, A toad marrying a swan!

However, Lucy had on an affectionate smile. As the fiancée, she stood beside the toad and chattered delightfully with the guests. With a sweet and happy smile on her face, she looked no different than any other bride.

Michael had not shown up on that day because he was caught up with his shooting while the Winston couple was not invited. As such, only Cooper, Linus and Sophia attended the ceremony; it seemed like Cooper had known the toad for some time as the latter had grabbed him and started chattering heartily the moment he saw Cooper arrive.

Cooper introduced his children to the toad and the man gave Sophia a kiss on her hand, as per western etiquette. Those few seconds were the most terrible moment of the day for Sophia as she felt like she was being kissed by a pig.

After the kiss, the toad continued his friendly chat with Cooper. Much like a frightened cat, Sophia freaked out as she could feel her hand burning and goosebumps erupting all around her body. She then sneaked away and went around to look for a washroom but before she managed to find one, someone patted her on the shoulder.

“Hi, Aunt Sophia!”

Turning around, Sophia saw the inseparable couple—Stanley and Sean. They were almost at the same height and even their outfits were identical. Stanley was incompetent at taking care of himself, so Sean had been the one running the household. He was in charge of meals and purchasing essentials, and even Stanley’s outfits were chosen by him. Hence, they often wore identical attires like a pair of twins.

Sophia hummed as she rubbed the back of her hand against Stanley’s shirt. Nevertheless, she still felt disgusted.
