My Dreamy Old Husband
Chapter 1412

Cooper replied, “You shouldn't interfere with adults’ affairs. I know what to do.”

He knows what to do? Perhaps dad really has his own arrangements.

“Then what about mom? Are you going to continue to make her feel wronged?” Sophia hurriedlyasked.

It's like a scene in a romance drama. The male lead has to pair up with the second female lead formany reasons and has to deliberately show affection in front of the female lead, making the femalelead feel sad. The two lead characters love each other but they have no choice but to hurt oneanother.

Right now, Cooper is the male lead, Anna is the female lead, and naturally, the vicious secondfemale lead is Tiffany.

Anna must be really upset right now. I never thought that Cooper would get involved in this sort ofthing.

With a smile, Cooper replied, “Darling, you won't understand how adults do things.”

How could I bear to see the woman I love suffer?

Perhaps Cooper is planning something and doesn't want to tell me and drag me into it.

After Tiffany came out of confinement, she went back to Europe a few times. Then, she stayed inBayside City and even settled in the Edwards residence in Riverdale.

There used to be a place Sophia would visit during the holidays, but after Cooper's return, somemembers of the Mitchell family started to live there.

Riverdale had developed rapidly over the years and many members of the Mitchell family set upcompanies there. They used to live in the suburbs which were full of alleys. It was inconvenient forthem to get in and out of work, which was why many Mitchell family members moved to theEdwards residence in Riverdale.

Tiffany also moved into Edwards residence recently and she even slept in the room that used tobelong to Cooper. Even some of the members in the Mitchell family said that Cooper and Tiffanywere about to get married soon. After all, Tiffany had a miscarriage because of Cooper.

The word “miscarriage’ seemed to have a power to suggest a beautiful and charming story, as ifCooper had done something to Tiffany. But in reality, he had done nothing of the sort.

Even though Sophia didn't know what was going on between Cooper and Tiffany, she could tell thatTiffany was confident.

If Tiffany really got together with Cooper, she would make sure that Sophia suffered.

After giving it some thought, Sophia called Anna. She almost never took the initiative to call her, butat that moment, she felt that something must have happened between Anna and Cooper. As theirconcerned daughter, I must replace out what's going on.

After retrieving Anna's private number from Cooper's phone, she soon made the call.

“Hello?”

Hearing Anna's gentle voice from the other end of the phone, Sophia suddenly felt nervous anddidn't know what to say.

Although she was almost thirty, she still longed for maternal love and wished that she could have amother that cared for her. However, whenever she faced Anna, she didn't know how to express herlonging and didn't know how to communicate with her. Sophia used to really like Anna, but thenvarious things had happened that made her feelings for Anna complicated.

She indeed is the perfect mother. Not only is she gentle and kind, but she also has wisdom andambition that is not inferior to men.

Sophia stayed silent for a long time but Anna could already guess who it was. “Sophia, is that you?”Sophia briefly replied, “Hi... Mom...”

After dating Cooper, Anna found out that she used to be Annabel. It was the first time Sophia calledher “mom’. Sophia felt awkward but was also afraid that Anna would think she was rude.

Anna sounded like she was smiling as she replied, “I have something to deal with right now. We'lltalk later.”

She seemed to be really busy and she was walking in a hurry while she was on the phone. Sophiacould even hear the short and rapid sounds of her heels clicking on the ground.

As soon as Anna finished talking, she hung up the phone.

After a long silence on the phone, Sophia was still in a daze.

I wanted to tell her that Cooper didn't betray her... However, Anna seems to not care at all. It seemsthat they have a bigger plan but Tiffany has already moved into Riverdale. Living in the Edwardsresidence is definitely not her goal. Her ultimate goal is to slowly move into Cooper's bedroom inThe Imperial, and into his heart. As for Cooper, it seems that his relationship with Tiffany hasimproved because of the child. Tiffany has even started to visit The Imperial from time to time. Everytime she comes, she walks around freely, as if she is the owner of the house.

Tiffany came again that day. They made some good food to entertain their friends to celebrate PlumTechnology's new achievements, but they didn't expect Tiffany to come. Things got a little awkwardand everyone at the table felt uncomfortable, except for Tiffany, of course. She was the mostcomfortable. Sitting next to Cooper, she spoke to him lovingly and leaned close to him, just like sheused to. Even Stanley, who was usually really chatty and never shut up, was quiet.

Probably because she felt that she had been pregnant with Cooper's child, she felt closer to him andwas even more brazen than before. Tiffany even occasionally wiped Cooper's lips intimately.Quinton had also come over that day. During the meal, he looked down at his food as he ate anddidn't look up even once. He didn't want to take a single look at the disgusting couple.

Quinton planned to leave as soon as he finished dinner, but Carmen suddenly hugged his thigh andrefused to let him leave. Seeing this, Quinton chose to stay for the night. His work schedule wasreally full recently not because he had a lot of classes to teach at the university, but because hespent most of his time working for Bailey.

Unexpectedly, after he finished dinner and went outside to smoke, he heard Tiffany's voice frombehind him.

“I heard that you have been working as Bailey's bodyguard lately.”

Quinton blew a smoke ring before he turned around to glance at Tiffany. Tiffany knew about hisidentity. After hearing her words, Quinton replied with a nod.

When he was a killer, his biggest financiers were owners of big organizations like Tiffany.

Tiffany pulled out a check and said, “Fill in any amount you want. I want you... to kill that kid forme."

When Tiffany spoke, there was a sinister look on her face. It's easier to hire one of Bailey's men tokill him.

However, Quinton didn't even take a glance at the cheque. He casually blew another smoke ringand said, “Find someone else. I have given up that life. I now teach people and work as a bodyguardfor a living. I don't accept tasks like that anymore.”

Tiffany chuckled and said sarcastically, “Are you telling me that Phantom Wolf, the number one killerin the world, has retired from killing? What a joke.”

Holding a cigarette between his fingers, Quinton took a puff lightly and with a calm expression, hereplied, “I'm sure that you already know that the Phantom Wolf is gone. I'm just an ordinary manwith an ordinary life now. I don't kill anymore.”

Tiffany snorted and put the check back into her pocket. “You want to lead an ordinary life? Have youasked the dead souls that you killed?”

Quinton didn’t say anything. Tiffany knew that a killer would always be a killer, and it was impossiblefor them to stop killing.

She turned around but unexpectedly, before the sarcastic smile on her face disappeared, she heardQuinton's voice from behind her.

“Miss Tiffany, shouldn't you ask yourself the same question? The people you have killed are no lessthan me, but you can still sleep peacefully. You even want to pursue a happy life. Why can't 17”Tiffany seemed to dismiss it until she heard Quinton say, “Have you ever dreamt about the couplethat was burned alive by a killer you hired every night before you fell asleep? Not only do you haveto see them in your dreams, but every day after you wake up, you have to face their 15 year-oldson... Tiffany, you're almost fifty, and your time is running out. I suggest you save your energy to dosome yoga, b*tch!”
