My Dreamy Old Husband novel Chapter 1432

Bailey turned to look at her, but all he could hear was her tragic screams from the infernal fire as it engulfed her body. Soon, Tiffany no longer existed in the world.

He then drove away. After he had left, the little suburban house burst into flames.

Even though he had killed a person in the suburb of Bayside City, there were people who would settle the aftermath for him.

In fact, Cooper actually contributed to Tiffany’s death.

It was already midnight after Bailey left the tiny suburban house and returned to the city center.

He hid in the hotel’s cupboard by himself and closed the door, allowing his tears to flow freely.

The scenes where Tiffany was engulfed by the flames and his family disappearing in the fire replayed in his head over and over again.

Ever since his parents and brothers died, he had lost all his happiness, as if his heaven had been utterly destroyed by someone in an instant.

He had had countless sleepless nights, and he could only have a couple of hours of good rest by hiding in the cupboard.

Five years had passed since then.

His family had passed away for five years, and today, he had finally avenged them.

Unfortunately, it did not give him any sense of pleasure—it was not at all his intention to kill, as all he wanted was his family to be with him!

He was more afraid that he would become the kind of person he loathed—the kind of person who would do anything, including abominable deeds, in order to achieve their goal.

Subconsciously, he looked at the three apricot kernels on his wrist. They were gifts from Carmen, who was a kind and innocent girl. He had always carried it with him to remind himself that he was actually a person and not a devil. Even if circumstances had forced him to lift up the butcher knife, his consciousness had yet to diminish. He had also once done a good deed that saved a life and a family.

His life was full of darkness cast by despair and sufferings, without even a single shred of light. He was immersed in this boundless darkness, but he was still trying to protect the little dash of light in him.

The television, which was left on, suddenly played the variety show that Carmen had participated in, and her sweet voice entered through the cupboard into his ears. Bailey’s body was curled up into a ball—a posture that indicated that he was in extreme anxiety and fear—but he gradually relaxed upon hearing Carmen’s singing.

“The fresh flowers have once told me how you passed by; the ground knows every corner of your heart…”

Hearing her melodious voice, his mind slowly calmed down, and a faint smile slowly appeared on his face as he leaned against the cupboard.

She was just like an angel.

The devil, which was hidden in the abyss, heard the singing of an angel from the heavens. The angel’s sacred light shone into the bottomless sinful abyss, allowing the devil to capture a shred of light and keep it in his heart with just a stretch of his hand.

Even if he had fallen into the bottomless hell of sin, he still remembered that he was once an angel, who had once sung in heaven.

It was late when Cooper finally reached home.

He had helped Anna and her son take over Ronney Group. After the situation had been stabilized, he headed home. As he had left home for over one month, he missed his family, especially Carmen and Sophia.

“Grandpa!” Carmen missed Cooper dearly since she had not seen him for many days. Upon seeing him back, she pounced at him, whereupon he picked her up and spinned her around.

Sophia threw herself at him like a little kid too. “Dad!”

Cooper intended to pick her up and spin her around as well, but seeing that his son-in-law was around, he gave up on the idea to avoid looking childish in front of him. Instead, he walked up to them with a straight face.
