After catching up with Carmen, Michael put her down and walked toward Sophia as he was about to discuss some matters with her. However, Carmen blurted out the question all of a sudden.
Instantly, Sophia blushed. “Well… Of course Mommy will give Daddy a kiss, but kids are not allowed to watch.”
Having not seen Michael for a while, coupled with the moment she smelled his unique scent and saw his charming body, Sophia turned scarlet from embarrassment like a young girl encountering her first love.
How strange! They went back from being a couple to strangers upon the divorce, but there was actually a fascinating sense of freshness and mystery.
She wondered, So this is the feeling!
Upon ‘letting go’ of Michael, the once tamed was now freed and it seemed like he had become more attractive as he appeared even wilder upon being single again.
Looking upset, Carmen pursed her lips and mumbled, “You two must’ve gotten a divorce. Are you even discussing who should get custody of me?”
Sophia remained silent. Suddenly, Michael held onto Sophia and kissed her gently on the lips before turning to Carmen and said, “See? I’ve kissed Mommy and we didn’t get a divorce. Don’t worry!”
Finally, Carmen was satisfied and walked away.
Sophia’s heart was racing as her face turned red.
Meanwhile, Michael started talking business with her.
“Sophia, I believe your father has talked to you about the press conference.”
Sophia was indeed aware of the press conference since she had asked Cooper about it last night. Blushing, she nodded her head and acted calm. “You can decide the time and venue. I’m fine with anything.”
Michael took out the plan about the press conference, which he had already drawn up before this, and handed it over to Sophia. She sat down and started perusing the details but just as she started reading the documents, Cooper came in.
Upon entering the room, Cooper pulled a long face seeing Michael half-naked while flirting with Sophia.
I knew it! This b*stard is up to no good!
Seeing Cooper’s arrival, Michael put on his shirt with a grin. “Hi Mr. Cooper, how embarrassing! Sophia came in before I could even put on a shirt,” he explained awkwardly, sounding as if it was Sophia who did it purposely.
Upon seeing Cooper, Sophia quickly left with Carmen, leaving behind the two men staring at each other in the guest room.
Coldly, Cooper rebuked, “Don’t assume I don’t know what’s on your mind—you want to get back with my daughter. In your dreams!”
His respectful attitude disappearing, Michael smirked cheekily. “Mr. Cooper, imagine you were me and Sophia was Anna; what would you do?”
Staring coldly at him, Cooper snorted. Before he started going on at him, Michael took out a file and passed it to Cooper. “By the way, I was too busy recently and almost forgot about this matter. Take a look at this, Mr. Cooper. I’m sure you’ll be interested in it.”
Cooper took the file and left frostily.
“Don’t you fool with me; you’re still too young for that!”
Cooper warned before he left.
Seeing his departure, Michael smiled mysteriously.
Meanwhile, Cooper looked at the file that Michael had given him. Inside was an old diary with a yellowed cover; the book must have been around for some time. Two words were written on the title page of the book—Anna’s Notebook.
