My Dreamy Old Husband novel Chapter 756

When he turned, he expectedly saw a pair of blue eyes that were in the color of a thousand-year-old lake, leaving him in shock.

Save for the difference in the color of that person’s irises, the one who stood in front of him resembled Cooper! Based on his own memory, that was how Cooper looked!

The Old Master looked equally shocked. Where did they find such a lookalike? He looks so lifelike!

Sean was evidently thrilled. “Old Master, this is Cooper! Cooper’s not dead and has finally returned!”

All eyes were on Cooper as he took a swift stride toward Woody. Cooper was choked up in tears as he digested the sight of an aged person’s body. Then, without saying anything, he fell to his knees in front of the old man.

“Father!”

Cooper’s body shook as he shouted that word.

He now realized how ignorant and defiant he was in the past—he had been extremely cruel to have left Woody on his own…

Woody beamed when he saw Cooper. “Coop, you’re back!”

Cooper took his father’s dry, bony hand in his and blurted, “I’m back. I’m finally home.”

He looked over at Mark Fletcher and was choked up in tears before he added, “I’m back, Godfather.”

It is really Cooper! He is now here!

Cooper was actually still alive! In all honesty, Mark wanted to give him two slaps across his face to teach him a lesson—he never knew how much Woody and Sophia yearned to see him all those years!

However, he never showed up! Mark had many things on his mind that he wanted to say to him, but the words were stuck in his throat and he could not seem to say it as he was trembling in tears. “Where have you been all these years?”

Cooper choked and replied, “I did not die as I was rescued back then. After that, I went to Africa to work as a miner and have been there ever since!”

Mining… in Africa. Old Master Fletcher’s mind pictured a scene where Cooper was mining for coal in a faraway place called Africa. If he disobeyed his orders, he would be whipped by a foreman who stood nearby. Cooper’s passport and ID card had been snatched and he had no chance of leaving…

“My dear Coop, you have suffered a lot…” Mark could only imagine what Cooper endured all those years and he couldn’t help but tear up.

Cooper now gazed at his father, who was now aging and sported gray hair, while being speechless as he tried to stop himself from crying. “Father…”

Woody looked at Cooper and smiled. “My son, come here… I have a few words that I would like to say to you.”

Cooper leaned his ears closer to Woody and heard the latter’s whisper. “Remember that young lady a long time ago? I have secretly released her and given her a sum of money. You should go and look for her. Find her and…” The words trailed off, leaving the sentence to be unfinished.

Woody now gasped for air—a smile was still on his face and his hands tightly gripped Cooper’s for a long time…

The news headlines of that day in Cethos were all about Woody—the man who was with Cethos for a lifetime finally allowed himself to seek eternal peace with a final smile of glory.

He had taken over the family business in his younger years and brought it to greater heights. He actively participated in the development of Cethos and exercised all efforts to support the revolution. Not too long after the founding of the country, he kept abreast with its economy and even took its financial matters into his own hands.

However, life was extremely miserable for Woody—after losing his father in his youth, he was a middle-aged widower before his son in his later years gave him a taste of life’s ultimate suffering in a lifetime.

After Woody passed on, Cooper remained by his father’s bedside in the ward for what seemed like an eternity without moving or speaking. Tears continued to stream down his face—it appeared glum and deep in thought, as if he was mentally elsewhere.

The family members were puzzled. Could this really be Cooper?

No, he can’t be Cooper. He must be an imposter who’s here to take advantage of Woody’s last moments to swindle the old man’s money!

He must have inherited all of Woody’s property. How can a person look the same as they were more than twenty years later? Even if he was Cooper, nonetheless, he was a traitor to the Mitchell Family!
