My Dreamy Old Husband novel Chapter 866

After reading the booklet, Sophia said, “Michael, do you have any time lately? If you do, can you come along with me to send the cats away? I would like to visit all the adopters.”

Michael instantly understood what she meant—she had forgiven him!

He would be going away for a few months for filming soon, so she would like him to spend his last few days here with her!

Therefore, he replied, “Sure. I’ll take you out to meet your old schoolmates and friends too. The network you built during your time in Bayside University can be useful to you now, so it’s time for you to regain them.”

It was indeed easier to talk to someone with high emotional intelligence. In fact, to Sophia, sending away the cats was just an excuse. More importantly, she would like to take this opportunity to visit her acquaintances from the past since she had been lacking the opportunity to do so.

Michael had been helping her to maintain her network while she was away. He had been protecting all of her belongings on her behalf, and now, it was time for her to take over.

When Sophia returned home from Michael’s place, she noticed that she had a guest.

“Sophia, you are back!” Sitting in the living room was a young man with a childish yet handsome face in his twenties. She knew him as Derek, who was Sandra’s younger brother and Alex’s illegitimate son. He had recently graduated from Bayside University this year and had been interning in Stanley’s office.

“Derek, why are you here?” Sophia asked in surprise.

He seemed shy. “Sophia, you hadn’t come to the company lately. Our company is collaborating with Mr. Cooper for a case, so I’m here to discuss the case with him.”

“Okay.” Come to think of it, it had been a long time since she last went to Plum Technology. With Stanley and Sean managing the company, as well as Sarah in the marketing department, not only was the company in order during her absence, it had been listed too. Now, she had become a major shareholder who was excused from all management duties, so she was now focusing on her career in luxury brands.

“It’s late. You don’t have to go home tonight; you can stay over.”

Derek scratched his head, feeling a little shy. “Alright!”

However, he still drove home that night since he had to go for work the next day.

Derek was taken in by Sophia. He could be considered an orphan as he had no home to return to, and both his mother and uncle had passed away. His sister refused to acknowledge his identity, while his father, Alex, might have even forgotten about his existence. Sophia took him in and gave him the opportunity to study in Bayside University. Therefore, he had been studying while working in Plum Technology all these years. Although he had just graduated, he was quite capable.

After Derek had left, Cooper even praised him. “Derek is a talented young man. His head is filled with creative ideas, and he has inherited his father’s strengths. Unfortunately, he is very loyal to Stan, so I can’t get him to work for me. I am planning to take him back into the Mitchell Family so that he can take our last name.”

Now that Cooper had returned, he claimed himself as the Head of Mitchell Family. Although the elders refused to acknowledge him, he was certain that they would have to get on their knees and acknowledge him someday in the future. Therefore, his decision to allow Derek to return to the Mitchell Family was not a joke.

“But Dad, Derek is an illegitimate son. Isn’t this against the Mitchell Family’s rule?”

Cooper was dismissive of the rule. “The Mitchell Family has no such silly rules. We will accept any talent.”

Nevertheless, he is still Alex’s son… but since dad wants to take Derek back into the family, why not?

The next day, after Carmen went to the kindergarten, Michael came over in his car to pick Sophia up to send away the cats. Although Cooper was still disgruntled about the incident of the kindergarten interview, he did not stop her.

She got in the car and saw seven or eight cats in it.
