My Dreamy Old Husband -
Chapter 1408
“Welcome home.”
Michael came home early today and saw that Sophia had arrived home too. “How was the trip tothe temple on the mountain?” he asked.
Michael walked up to hold Sophia's hands but realized that her hands were extraordinarily cold.
He wrapped his big hands around hers, hoping to bring her warmth.
He could totally understand Sophia’s feelings.
Back then when he first found out that Quinton was his younger brother, he couldn't accept it tooeven though it wasn't Theo's fault. At that time, Tanya had abducted Theo back to her drug nest andtortured and insulted him in every way possible. She even drugged and r*ped him in order to makehim surrender. Theo could have gritted his teeth and fought back, but he had chosen to endure sothat his identity would not be exposed.
So, he played along, pretending to have no power to resist and surrendered. At the same time, hesecretly passed on information about the drug nest and arranged tactical plans. With that, heeventually demolished the drug nest and put an end to the turmoil in Golden Triangle which hadlasted for a few decades. Now, the citizens in that area stayed away from drugs and were living apeaceful life.
Theo was not to be blamed for the incident which happened at that time. Nevertheless, Michael'sfeeling upon discovering the existence of a younger brother was indeed indescribable.
And now, Sophia was going through exactly what he had experienced before.
However, Cooper's case was more exceptional than Quinton’s.
Who would have expected Tiffany to have gotten Cooper's gene and used it for herself?
Michael had never seen such a shameless woman.
In fact, his father-in-law was the most distressed because he was innocent. He had merely stored hissperm, yet it had been stolen. Now, someone was pregnant with his child and had come to pesterhim.
“Everything will be fine,” Michael cooed at Sophia in a low voice.
With a complicated look, he glanced toward Cooper.
According to his understanding toward his father-in-law, it was very likely that...
"Get well soon, Tiffany. We'll talk about the rest later on.”
Eventually, Cooper heaved a sigh and said, “I'll protect you and the child.”
With that, Cooper plodded up the stairs and went into his room. Wiping off her tears, Tiffany stoodup, thereafter staggered toward the door under her bodyguard's support.
She seemed to not have noticed Sophia when she passed by her at the entrance. Sobbing andsniffing, Tiffany got into the car and left under the bodyguards’ extensive protection.
Nevertheless, Sophia knew that Tiffany was extremely elated.
She would be able to tie Cooper down once the child was born.
This b*tch has indeed gone all-in. She even forced herself to conceive a child at this age.
At that moment, Sophia's thoughts were extremely dark and evil.
Michael too had noticed that her hands were getting increasingly cold.
Michael shared Sophia's stance and they were of the same opinion.
This child can never come to this world.
It was not just a matter of a fight over Cooper's heritage and love. If that was the case, Michaelwould be pleased to see his father-in-law having more children, especially daughters, because thenhe would not devote all his attention to Sophia all the time, and Michael would be less pressured ashis son-in-law.
But the problem was that the child's mother was Tiffany, who was someone as wicked as Quinton.After the child was born, she would surely strive for more wealth on behalf of him, and might evengo after Sophia and Linus.
At the moment, the family was pretty harmonious. Though there were often some minor disputesbetween Michael and Cooper, generally, the home environment was very decent. Cooper treated hisson well, Linus and Sophia were close with each other, and there were neither intrigues nor conflictsof interest within the family. However, things would be different once Tiffany's child was born
Since Cooper is soft-hearted and can't bear to get rid of the child himself, as his son-in-law, I shouldgive him a hand!
And so, Michael secretly made a call to Anna.
The call had caught Anna off guard because she rarely crossed paths with Michael and only knewhim mainly through his movies. She was aware of this son-in-law’'s backgrounds and achievements.As a mother-in-law, she was extremely satisfied with him.
Anna remained silent for a moment after Michael had finished narrating, and then answered, “Ibelieve Cooper will handle this matter well.”
“What if he fails?" Michael asked
Smiling faintly, Anna said, “Then he doesn't deserve my love.”
With that, Michael was rendered speechless.
Then, they made some small talk before hanging up.
He wondered how his father-in-law would settle the issue this time. In fact, many relationship issuesbetween men and women were self-induced as a result of their indecisiveness and ambivalence, andthere was no one else to blame.
If there were any ambiguities at all, then the cause would either be that the love between the twowasn't genuine, or that one party was deliberately running away from problems. An illustration wasthat there would always be an ignorant man behind every bad relationship between his mother andwife.
There were never any ambiguities between him and Sophia even though they had been separatedin the past, and they had encountered exes who seeked to stir up trouble too.
It would be disappointing if Cooper still remained indecisive this time round. This kind of mattersmust be handled in a firm and accurate manner, or else the consequences would be dire. IreneWeber was the perfect example. Back then, Michael failed to settle with her as soon as possible andit had nearly caused Sophia to be harmed.
No one had an idea about how Cooper would handle this matter. Nevertheless, Cooper seemed tohave not changed since Tiffany's visit. He worked from home every day and would stay in his studyroom until late night. After dinner, he would spend some time with the family watching TV, fightover the TV remote control, and have a chat with Theo. Besides, he would sternly exhort Sophia toquickly get rid of the dogs at home, yet still joyfully walked the dogs the next morning.
On the other hand, Sophia had been racking her brains thinking of ways to get rid of Tiffany'sunborn child.
Cooper was determined to keep Tiffany's unborn child, and Tiffany too had been extra vigilant sincethis was her only chance to turn the corner. As such, it was not an easy task to kill the child.
Michael watched as Sophia diligently prepared a proposal.
Plan A: Drug her. The pros are simple execution and high effectiveness whereas the cons is that wemight get caught.
Plan B: Lure her out and beat her up.
Plan C: Hire an assassin. P.S. Quinton will not take up the task but he can be the middleman to referother assassins to us. He'll earn a 20% commission.
Plan D: Bribe Tiffany's private doctor to cause a medical accident.
Michael became speechless.
She actually placed the proposal blatantly on the bedside table. Isn't she afraid of being exposed?Sophia had secretly taken action too besides writing the proposal.
Tiffany stayed in a bungalow arranged by Cooper in the outskirts of town. He had sent a dozen staffincluding chauffeurs, chefs, servants, and bodyguards to look after Tiffany. As such, Tiffany was well-protected, and her diets were strictly controlled.
It was indeed arduous to defeat her. Since Cooper was having Tiffany's back, the child woulddefinitely be safe unless Tiffany decided to give up the child.
Cheesed off, Sophia even wrote curses about Tiffany's child in her room and placed her writings atthe common area visible to Cooper.
Though Cooper knew Sophia detested the child, he pretended to not have seen the curses.
Failing to cause Tiffany to have a miscarriage, Sophia complained about having chest tightnessthese few days so Michael accompanied her to the hospital for a checkup, and they dropped by tovisit the gyenecologist.
She was experiencing breast swelling but was still not pregnant. Truth was, her health had beenseverely affected in the early years and it was already a great blessing to have been able to conceiveher first child.
Upon recognizing that it was hard for Sophia to get pregnant, both Sophia and Michael weredisappointed. However, they did not expect that they would bump into Tiffany, who was here for aprenatal checkup, as they walked out from the hospital distraughtly.
Tiffany's face was glowing. Looking at Tiffany's belly which had barely increased in size, Sophiabecame extremely jealous at that instant. Not only is she pregnant, but she is even pregnant withtwins!
