My Dreamy Old Husband -
Chapter 467
Michael finally asked Sean.
By that point, Sean decided that he had nothing to lose and fished out a photograph from hispocket. “I found a photo of Uncle Cooper and his girlfriend.”
Michael snatched the photograph from Sean—in it was Cooper and Annabel. She was only about 17or 18 when she took that photo and compared to Sophia in her twenties, the resemblance wasuncanny!
Sean continued, “Back when the old man thought I was Uncle Cooper, we talked and he would tellme stories about how he secretly let the girl go. I only assumed that he was rambling. It was onlyafter he showed me this picture that I realized how much Sophia resembles the girl in it. Also, whenthe Old Master treated her as Uncle Cooper, I began to pick up on things.”
"About that financial incident in Kuwait, I was the one who disclosed it to Sophia. My guess was thatif she’s Uncle Cooper's daughter, she would be able to replace a way to run off with the money. Whenit really happened, I knew that my suspicions were confirmed.”
After Sean had come clean, Sophia couldn't help but feel flustered. It turned out that they weredeceiving each other all along—she pretended that she ran off with the money while he hid the factthat he already knew that she was the one who did it.
He played dumb when he knew everything that happened.
Michael had more questions and asked sternly, “Is that all? Is there anyone else who knows aboutthis?”
Sophia was shocked as she had never seen her husband's cold, somber side before.
Sean immediately answered, “The old man secretly gave me this picture when he thought I was hisson. I've been investigating this on my own all this while. No one knew—not even my grandfather.Initially, I never knew that Uncle Cooper had any children and I wasn't prepared to drag Sophia intothe Mitchell Family's mess. I only wanted to fulfil the old man’s wishes. When I knew that UncleCooper was still alive, I was hoping to look for him through you and Sophia. I swear I never toldanyone!”
Once he said those words, he closed his eyes, resigning to his fate of having his life being taken byMichael.
“It's pointless for me to continue with my life. Michael, if you want to take my life, please do. Myonly request is that you would look for Uncle Cooper and bring him home as the Mitchell Familyneeds him.”
Michael regarded Sean with his cold stare and deep in his thoughts.
Sophia had made it clear that he was not to harm Sean.
Sean was her brother and he was the one who cared for Old Master Mitchell all along. WhenNatasha had kidnapped Sophia, Sean was the first one to head out and rescue her, even having anear death encounter with the Phantom Wolf.
Michael glanced at a determined Sophia before looking at Sean, who was prepared to sacrifice hislife and still remained speechless.
Sean's life was at his mercy.
Stanley's voice reverberated through the door all of a sudden. “Eh? Mr. Harry, what are you doinghere? Where are Sophia and Sean?”
Harry replied, “Silly dog, why are you not heading home yet?”
In the ward, Michael finally broke the silence. “I don't give a d*mn as to what happens in theMitchell Family. If the Mitchell Family dares to lay a hand on my woman, don't blame me for beingmean by then.”
Upon realizing his close escape from death, Sean promised, “Don't worry, Michael. I won't tell asingle soul. Sophia's not just my sister, but she’s also my friend.”
Michael turned and left. As he opened the door and walked out, Sophia let out a sigh of relief.Sophia and Sean were the only ones left in the ward.
He stood up and pulled Sophia with him. In his usual tone, he said, “Sophia, let's borrow thewindbreaker from Nicole. If we are lucky, we might still be able to look for Uncle Cooper's DNA onit.”
Sophia was still flustered by how much Sean knew about her secret.
She nodded. “Okay.”
While leaving the ward, they noticed Michael and Harry had already given Nicole the bouquets andheaded downstairs. Stanley came up and asked, “What are you guys up to?”
Sophia proceeded to borrow Cooper's windbreaker from Nicole.
Nicole cooperated, but on one condition. “Can you tell me how he's... really like?"
By that point, she would have easily figured out that Sophia had a relationship of some kind withCooper and did not ask for much, not even his identity, but rather only his name.
Sophia looked at Sean for help. He paused and gave it a thought before he answered, “He's arelative of mine. He's been out of the country for more than a decade to hide from his enemies whowanted his life. I only learned a couple of days ago that he quietly returned to the country, whichwas the reason why I came to the film studio to look for him. Ms. Walker, you have been of greathelp to us in looking for him. However, I hope that you would keep this to yourself to avoid hisenemies from getting to him first.”
Nicole paused before firmly replying, “I will.”
Sophia and Sean began to leave, but before they exited, she turned to see Nicole, still in a trance, onthe bed and added, “His name is Cooper Mitchell.”
The door was then closed, leaving Nicole alone in the ward again. She repeated his name. “CooperMitchell...”
Sophia and Sean strode onto the parking lot where parked beside his car was Michael's SUV.Michael knew that they would look for Cooper's lookalike and what would ensue as a result. Hethen learned that Sophia was paying Nicole a visit at the hospital and decided to drop by, but hedid not expect to see Sean eavesdropping at the door.
Both vehicles drove off—one after another.
On the way back, Sophia reiterated what she learned from Nicole with excitement.
Listening to all that happened suddenly felt like a rollercoaster ride for Michael.
There was so much drama that was filled with suspense and climax—not even a movie script couldbe written in that manner! If Cooper's story is ever adapted into a film, I'll definitely sign on to playthe role of his father!
At the same time, Michael was analyzing the situation at hand—it seemed that Cooper knew thatsomeone would search for him from the shadows.
Would Cooper have approached him via Twitter? After all, it was a tweet that turned him into anonline sensation.
If that was the case, he could have sat back and waited for Cooper to surface on his own.
Sophia took Nicole's room card from her and entered the hotel room where she saw a blackwindbreaker hanging on a coat rack. Cooper Mitchell wore this!
Nicole left it hanging there ever since she brought it back. Apart from her, no one had touched it.Sophia was about to grab the windbreaker, but Stanley abruptly slapped her hand. “Eddie Fletcher,please watch where you touch. You wouldnt want to leave your DNA on the windbreaker, wouldyou?"
Everyone stood around Cooper's windbreaker, observing and discussing.
Stanley commented, “Tsk, a windbreaker that was once worn by a super genius. Wonder if I wouldbecome more intelligent if I wear it.”
