Cooper was busy dealing with Woody’s funeral in the hospital and surveying which property of the Mitchell Family that he could control. When he learned of the incident in the pet store, Linus had already handled the whole incident.
The West and Edwards Families…
Cooper was not familiar with the West Family as it was not an influential family when he left years ago.
However, he was acquainted with the Edwards Family, especially the family of those two brothers—Sam and Jordan Edwards.
Cooper left the Mitchell Residence with a clenched fist and noticed Carmen singing and dancing in the living room when he returned to Villa No. 2..
Upon seeing his return, she innocently uttered, “Mr. Cooper, Lucile has fallen ill and she’s sleeping. I’m waiting for her to wake up to show her the Bear Dance and she will recover after that.”
Cooper stroked Carmen’s little head although the tiny bun on her little head was a little pricky. He then went upstairs and silently opened the door of the room to take a peek into the room through the tiny gap. Sophia was asleep in the room and Shae was guarding at the head of the bed.
Sophia was sound asleep—the corner of her lips were curved upstairs and her peaceful expression showed that she seemed to be dreaming about something interesting.
His heart melted at the sight, but the next second, his expression turned cold. My daughter was actually called ugly by others. This is unforgivable!Seeing that his daughter was soundly asleep, he did not want to disturb her and quietly closed the door before heading downstairs to the living room where Carmen was still singing and dancing.
She was learning the dance moves from the video that was being played on the television in the living room and imitated it well.
He could not help but to sit down and watch her dancing for a while. She was concentrating on her dance moves with rhythm, which showed that she had talent in dancing.
After she finished dancing, he could not resist the urge to ask her, “Darling, who taught you how to dance?”
Carmen skipped toward him as she replied, “The TV taught me.” However, she continued with her answer. “Daddy doesn’t want me to learn dancing, but I want to appear on TV! ‘Where Are We Going, Dad?’ is a TV show that I want to join!”
‘Where Are We Going, Dad?’ was a recent yet popular variety show that featured interactions between parent and child. It had been her dream to participate in the variety show together with Michael, but the latter forbade it.
Carmen reluctantly gave her favorite yoghurt to Cooper while sharing her ambitions and life plans with him—first of all, she wished to make a debut in the entertainment circle and act in movies, participate in variety shows because she wanted to earn plenty of money as a star while winning many awards such as the Flying Apsaras Awards, Hundred Flowers Awards, and Golden Globes Awards.
She wished to be the breadwinner of the family and rear dogs and cats so that her father would not need to worry about making a living.
However, he suddenly recalled the time when he once told Woody as a young child that he wished to catch an alien and rear it as a pet. Woody laughed at him at that time without saying anything. That incident is almost the same as the current situation… Yet, it is normal for a child to have weird and peculiar dreams.
Cooper consoled Carmen, “Be obedient and study well in school. You will achieve your dreams once you’ve graduated from school.”
Since Sophia was sound asleep without any signs of waking up soon, he chatted with Carmen in the living room.
Carmen was loquacious—and not shy whatsoever. After sharing her ambitions and aspirations, she started to share about her unrequited love.
“Daddy mentioned that Nicholas returned home for a blind date to get married and will leave me. I thought that Daddy was lying to me. However, I saw him sneaking out that day to play with Lucile’s Shae. It made me realize that he never liked me. Sigh.”
With furrowed brows, he contemplated for some time before understanding the logic behind her story. So, she thought that the person whom Nicholas is going to marry is Shae? This is such a complicated relationship…
She was filled with great worries. “Mr. Cooper, why do I have such a tough life?”
