My Dreamy Old Husband novel Chapter 860

To have Sophia by his side was like an exceptionally beautiful dream for Michael, one that he didn’t have the courage to wake up from.

The atmosphere was just right, and the love in the air was intensifying. Michael thought about it and felt it was time for a deeper exchange between the two of them, but unexpectedly, Cooper called Sophia’s phone. In a cold voice, he said, “Darling, come out. I’ll teach you a new lesson.”

Michael felt annoyed in his heart, deeply suspecting that Cooper had installed a camera on him. Otherwise, how could he know so quickly?

Sophia hung up Cooper’s phone, only to realize that she had acted a bit unmannerly just now toward Michael. Her face was slightly red as she said, “I’m going back first. Dad is looking for me for something.”

Hurriedly, Michael followed her. “I will send you off.”

Just after leaving the house, Sophia saw that Cooper’s car was parked at the gate of Villa No. 8, so she got into the car and followed him out. Michael was also very curious and wanted to know what kind of lesson Cooper would give Sophia later, so he went along.

The car arrived at Cooper’s current office building, which was where Pourl was located. Sam had gifted Sophia a few floors of the building. Cooper saw that the location was good and that his daughter’s office was downstairs, so he bought the whole building and turned it into his base.

After the reorganization of the energy company, the staff rapidly expanded, and the company became larger. While entering the company’s conference room, Sophia saw many important people.

Sam, Lucy, and Ian were the three important figures of the Edwards Family. They were already waiting before she even arrived. The lawyers for both parties were there, and there were many people standing in the conference room, which made it all look like a very important occasion.

Faced with the entourage, Sophia felt a little surprised. The Edwards Family had previously joined forces with Alex to deal with Cooper because of Faye’s death. Their hatred had seemed so extreme then. Sophia had thought that a violent storm had been brewing for the past few months and that a bloody war would break out. Therefore, she did not expect that the Edwards would appear on Cooper’s territory today.

“Sorry for making everyone wait for a long time.” Cooper appeared and sat down in his place, while Sophia and Michael also found their seats and sat down.

It seemed that Sam and the others had been waiting for a long time. All the tea on the table had been drunk, and the waiter was refilling the cups.

It appeared that Cooper was late, but after he came back from the airport, he ate a meal at home and spent a long time stroking the alpacas in an unhurried manner before leaving. Did he perhaps forget that there was a meeting today?

Cooper explained to Sophia, “Today is the day when I sign the energy development partnership project with the Edwards Family. So, I deliberately let them wait for a long time.”

Everyone was speechless, including Sophia.

This was such a big project, yet he had deliberately left them waiting for a long time. Wasn’t this a bit too much? He even purposely said it in front of them!

But although those from the Edwards Family looked displeased, they just acted as if they heard nothing.

Taking over the contract, Cooper looked at it, then said to Sophia, “My darling, have you learned anything?”

Sophia felt that she was a smart woman, but when it came to Cooper’s actions, she was rather dazed by it all. She whispered, “Dad, I don’t seem to understand anything…”

Cooper held the signature pen. The contract was opened before him, and the signature part was just under his fingers, but he was still holding the pen and would not sign.

The Edwards looked at him nervously, fearing that he would not sign.

Cooper held the pen but did not put it down. He said to Sophia, “My darling, remember, if you have the ability, you can make those who hate you to their guts kneel down and beg you!”

As realization dawned on Sophia, she quickly nodded.

Michael nodded as well.

Cooper was indeed great. A lesson well learned!
