My Dreamy Old Husband novel Chapter 961

After pulling away from the hug, the two of them walked out of the garage laughing and saw Michael in front of them.

“Linus, you’re back.”

Michael spoke as if he never treated himself as an outsider at all.

Looking at the matching shirts Sophia and Michael were wearing, Linus subconsciously shifted his gaze. “Yes, I’m back.”

Since it was the new year’s, it was great that he was back to celebrate with everyone. It would not be the same without Linus.

After his return, he went to meet Cooper, who was in his study.

“I’ve met with the Family Elders Council and told them about Sophia’s situation. I managed to buy some time for her and Carmen to prepare.”

In fact, the council was getting impatient. They wanted Sophia and Carmen to return to the Michel family as soon as possible, but Cooper had not settled their registries yet.

However, the Fletcher Family certainly would not let Carmen go easily, and Cooper did not know how to tell Mark about it.

As for Sophia… He was more worried about her. If she returned to the family now, she would have to undergo DNA tests. She was the daughter of Fass Michel, so she would naturally be the focus of the council. They were hoping for her to be Fass’s second in command, and that she would take over the responsibilities soon. However, with Sophia’s current situation, there was definitely no way she could take over the responsibilities of the Michel Family so soon.

While Linus and Alice both grew up receiving elite education from the Michel Family and Cooper’s guidance, Sophia was too inexperienced compared to them.

To Cooper, she was still his dog-leash-selling baby. If she returned to the Michel family now, she would have to compete with Linus and Alice. She was still lacking in terms of resources, experience, and connections.

This time, Linus had gone back just to buy a little more time for them.

After hearing Linus’s report, Cooper patted his shoulder and said sincerely, “You’ve done well.”

In fact, Linus had never let him down. Although he had gone astray once, he found his way back to the right path. How Cooper wished Linus was his son.

Meanwhile, Linus also asked about Cooper’s son, to which Cooper replied there was no progress at all. They had investigated all the possible high-profile local couples who had left the country, but they still found nothing.

His child seemed to have just disappeared.

Looking at the dejected Cooper, he comforted him. “We’ll find him.”

Cooper smiled helplessly.

He was overwhelmed by everything that was going on, and he could only feel a deep sense of helplessness.

Just then, Linus was about to say something, but he hesitated and decided not to say anything,

It was bizarre that Cooper’s son could not be found for such a long time. With Cooper’s capability, as long as his child was still alive, he could definitely find some clues. But now, other than the leads from Michael, he made no progress.

Now, Cooper was hoodwinked by Daniel. He believed that everything was up to fate and that his son would just magically appear out of nowhere.

However, Linus was still a little wary.

This matter had not been progressing for a long time, and he suspected there was someone else behind this who was trying hard to hide something. On top of that, there weren’t many people in Bayside City that could keep something hidden so well that not even Cooper could find it, and Michael was one of them.

Recently, he crawled through dog doors, endorsed stainless steel basins and sanitary pads, and he appeared on a local TV drama. He was tarnishing his own reputation again and again, which caused Cooper’s impression of him to become progressively worse. To Cooper, he was just a sleazy and lowly son-in-law. However, Linus thought he was deliberately acting this way to lead Cooper to forget that he was Mr. Nobody—who, along with Harry, dominated Bayside City’s underworld!
