My Dreamy Old Husband Chapter 1391

Sophia glanced at Jordaine. Though Jordaine was a graceful, poised young mistress, at the very most she looked thirty years old, her eyes filled with vigor resembling that of a young lady. There were barely any fine lines on her face and neck, so how could her son possibly be in his twenties?

Did this woman drink some sort of magical concoction?

Perhaps it was her baby face that made her look youthful. Sarah had a baby face too, and even until now she looked like an eighteen-year-old lolita.

According to Sophia’s estimation, Jordaine should be at least in her forties, yet she was such a great beauty. She must be one of the most gorgeous and outstanding women in Jordan’s harem. Sophia reckoned her level would resemble that of a noble consort, or even an imperial noble consort.

Jordaine even dared to show up without being invited and take Anna’s place.

At that moment, the atmosphere became rather awkward. Initially, Jordan was planning to bring Anna along to torture Cooper; never did he expect that Jordaine would appear all of a sudden and mess up his plan.

Meanwhile, Anna pretended to be upset and left the scene in ‘dismay’.

Jordan wanted to chase after her but Jordaine held his arm and said pitifully, “Jordan, do you think I’ve embarrassed you by showing up uninvited?”

“Of course not!” Jordan quickly cooed. “I’m glad you are here.”

The others could tell that Jordan wished to chase after Anna, but Jordaine did not want him to stay close to her.

Since Jordaine had shown up today, she was determined to have Jordan all to herself.

Soon, Lucy walked over and Jordaine immediately introduced herself. “You must be Lucy. I’m Jordaine. Come over here, Moore; meet your elder sister.”

Apparently, Lucy had not expected this scene to happen.

Where on earth did Jordaine come from? Oh well—she must be another mistress of Jordan’s.

Lucy greeted Jordaine and her son cordially.

Moore did not seem to be as rebellious and disruptive as Ryan and his twin brother, nor did his character resemble that of Callum and Cade’s. Nevertheless, he was not an ordinary man either.

With that, the family met each other harmoniously.

Moments later, the two groups of people parted ways. As the bride’s father, Jordan would naturally have to go greet the guests. Along with his old, ugly son-in-law and his angelic, adorable baby-face lover, Jordan chattered with guests from all walks of life.

Cooper looked at Jordan’s hideous pig-like old son-in-law and thought of his very own. For the first time, he thought Michael’s appearance was indeed quite pleasant.

Holding Jordan’s arm, Jordaine completely deemed herself as the hostess as she introduced herself and their son to everyone they met.

Both Jordan and the guests looked awkward. It seems like this isn’t the woman who was standing by him just now; he has switched his partner after just a few minutes!

Nonetheless, no one dared to dish the dirt and they were forced to act along.

Enjoying the big scene, Sophia started to suspect that Jordaine and Cooper had ganged up.

Meanwhile, Anna and her two sons were chatting with the guests at another spot. She seemed to have deliberately kept a distance from Jordaine, while Jordaine too deemed Anna and her two sons invisible.

Soon, every guest at the engagement ceremony became aware of Jordaine’s existence and that she was Jordan’s lover.

Though it was normal for wealthy families to have plenty of illicit affairs, it was rare to see the hostess and the mistress showing up at the same place like today, and both women’s status were not ordinary.

Everyone was secretly gossiping among themselves and Stanley the busybody was one of them.

“Sophia, did you see that? Jordan changed his wife again! Jordaine… What a cringy name!”

Even Stanley could tell that Jordaine was here to stir up trouble; she became even more dazzling than the bride-to-be the moment she appeared. Carrying herself as Mrs. Edwards, Jordaine completely deemed Anna the fiancée invisible, and Anna was left out in the cold.

Meanwhile, Sean stared at the card from Jordaine.

Never had he expected that Jordaine was one of Jordan’s mistresses too.

Jordaine’s father was the ex-owner of Marks Real Estates—a Cethosian conglomerate—and she was the youngest daughter of her father’s second wife.

Given her identity as the second wife’s youngest daughter, she was destined to be out of the league to become the successor of Marks Real Estates because she had a few elder brothers; on top of that, she was an illegitimate child. However, she managed to defeat her elder siblings and successfully ventured into Marks Real Estates when she was twenty-one years old. She even managed to secure a key position and became the owner of the corporation a few years later.

On the other hand, her competitors passed on one after another in different accidents.

Jordaine was not married throughout the years and only had a son whose father was unknown. In recent years, her son had started making his mark in Marks Real Estates but he had been using another nickname. And so, it was the first time Sean was made known to Moore’s actual name, and the fact that Moore was Jordan’s son.

It was worth noting that her name wasn’t originally Jordaine, and that she had changed her name to Jordaine at the age of twenty-one following an expert’s advice. From then on, there was a twist of fate and Jordaine got her way from being the insignificant young daughter to becoming the person-in-charge of Marks Real Estates.

Everyone said that she had made the right pick of her new name.

Well, it seems like Jordan must be the expert then.

The rise of Jordaine was extremely similar to that of Anna’s. Both of them started off as an insignificant nobody and gradually conquered the top position.

They would not be able to attain such great achievements by themselves. There must be some powerful force backing them up, which was none other than Jordan.

As such, the actual controller of Marks Real Estates now should be Jordan.

Without revealing his real identity, Jordan successfully made use of two women and ruled over two largest overseas Cethosian corporations.

Sean was indeed impressed at his ability.

There were always a few geniuses in this world.

Anna and Jordaine were the two most powerful women among Jordan’s other mistresses. Before this, they were on good terms as Jordan had not appointed an official ‘queen’, and both of them were of the same level. Besides, the two women were geographically distant from each other and rarely had time to meet up, so there were no disputes between them.

However, Jordan had now announced to the public that he was going to marry Anna and they even held an engagement banquet, though it was eventually ruined by an accident. As such, Jordan was deemed to have already appointed the ‘queen’. Naturally, the other mistresses would be unhappy.

With her supreme status, Jordaine was in the same league as Anna. And so, she became the first one to stand out and cause a scene in public.

Obviously, Jordan was put in a difficult position.

In fact, he had skimmed through the guest list for Lucy’s engagement banquet. Since he had invited Anna, he would surely not invite Jordaine.

No one would be able to enter the banquet hall without an invitation letter. So how did Jordaine and her son manage to come in without an invitation letter?

Hmm, this is really interesting…

Just then, Sophia felt her phone vibrate in her purse. Taking it out, she saw a message from Callum.

‘How’s the show, Sophia? Isn’t it fantastic? Let me give you a heads-up; coming up next is something even more exciting.’

With her gossipy side triggered, Sophia hurriedly typed, ‘Please give me a spoiler!’

Callum replied, ‘My father is going to propose to my mother tonight. All the props are ready and it is meant to be a huge surprise. He prepared the most lavish marriage proposal of all in Bayside City for my mother. He even spent tens of millions on it.’

‘Oh my goodness! LOL!’ Sophia replied.

Callum continued with his narration. ‘The drones are prepared to present the diamond ring and engagement gifts. There are up to a hundred kilograms of flowers and all of them were freshly plucked today.’

‘They’ve invited the most popular band and dance group from Europe, who are now getting ready backstage.’

‘Also, there’s going to be a humongous firework show which will light up half of Bayside City. The cost of the fireworks is on average a hundred thousand per second and the show will last for half an hour. It will be more exciting than celebrating the new year!’

‘Actually, fireworks have now been prohibited in Bayside City, so Jordan had to visit many government departments to obtain permission for this firework show.’

My Dreamy Old Husband Chapter 1392

According to Callum’s description, Sophia could tell that the unprecedented proposal would certainly leave everyone astonished.

Even if Jordaine did not show up today, Lucy would still play the deuteragonist while Anna became the focus.

Accompanied by the performances and magnificent firework show, Jordan would then present to Anna the grandest proposal and put a diamond ring on her ring finger, which was a symbol of love.

On the other hand, Cooper could do nothing but watch helplessly as another man proposed to his precious woman.

This was Jordan’s motive when he sent Cooper an invitation.

Alas, Jordaine appeared.

Gaining the upper hand, she followed Jordan around like a shadow and regarded herself as Jordan’s legitimate partner while casting out Anna.

Looking at Jordaine who was sticking to Jordan, Sophia couldn’t hold back her laughter as she thought of the proposal which Jordan had exquisitely prepared.

I wonder how Jordan is going to sort this out.

Soon, Lucy’s engagement ceremony began.

What happened next was the typical procedures, such as reciting vows and exchanging rings. Lucy and the toad were even moved to tears as they hugged and vowed to stay by each other’s sides for a lifetime.

Romeo and Juliet finally lived happily ever after, yada yada. All these were just meaningless cliché.

Toward the end of the ceremony, everyone raised a toast and thereafter the performers were invited onto the stage.

With her eyes wide open, Sophia was eager to witness Jordan’s proposal.

Unfortunately, Jordaine’s presence implied that the lavish proposal was destined to not take place today.

Obviously, Jordan was now on pins and needles but he couldn’t excuse himself at all, as Jordaine was holding his arm the whole time.

Sophia kept staring at Jordan, wondering when he would take out the ring. As such, she did not notice that Cooper was gone.

“Where’s Dad?” Sophia asked Linus.

However, Linus merely put on a mysterious smile.

Sophia glanced around the hall. True enough, Anna had disappeared too.

Meanwhile, being held down by Jordaine, Jordan was surrounded by the crowd and he seemed to be clueless about Cooper and Anna’s disappearance.

It was chaos and Jordan had not been able to keep an eye on Anna.

Moreover, neither would Jordaine allow him to glance toward Anna, not even for the slightest bit.

On the other hand, Sophia had found a spot to sit down and have a chat with Sean.

Possessing both a man’s boldness and a woman’s delicacy, Sean was an observant person and he would always have a unique perception regarding matters.

“It is definitely a risky move for Jordan to announce his relationship with Anna to the public. Jordaine is just his first problem,” Sean murmured.

Jordan could easily publish a book on methods to handle women. There were not just sweet and pretty girls within his harem, there were extremely capable businesswomen too. Nonetheless, he managed all of them in a harmonious and orderly manner and it had not blown up in his face for the past twenty years—he was indeed something.

However, the public announcement of him getting engaged with Anna had undoubtedly dropped a bomb among his concubines.

With that, the harmony that had been established for the past twenty years was going to be shattered.

Recently, many issues were arising within Jordan’s harem. Besides the fact that there were outsiders who deliberately stirred up trouble, internal problems existed too because his other women were unhappy about him devoting all his love toward Anna alone.

Sophia could understand. She had only come across three of Jordan’s mistresses, yet all three were not easy to deal with.

One of them was the woman who impersonated Annabel. Though she knew she would eventually lose her life, the woman still went ahead. She even volunteered to become a surrogate mother for the sake of Anna and had undergone multiple plastic surgeries to achieve an appearance which resembled Annabel.

Her fanaticism had freaked Sophia out.

Then there was Jordaine and Anna, who were both big shots.

Those were the three women that Sophia knew.

Dealing with so many scheming, ambitious women, isn’t Jordan afraid that someday the peaceful ocean will suddenly turn into a threatening tsunami and engulf him?

So, why did he announce his marriage with Anna and break the peace with his own hands?

Is it because of love?

Or he merely wants to deal a blow to Cooper by deliberately marrying Anna to break Cooper’s heart?

Or has he noticed Anna’s betrayal and wants to tie her down with the marriage?

No matter which reason it is, the price that Jordan has to pay is tremendous.

Jordan was a wise man and he would not make such a mistake. From Sean’s perspective, Jordan would rather give equal attention to all mistresses, allowing them to live in harmony. He would definitely not devote all his love toward one person and cause a turbulence within his harem, because the consequences would be dire if that happened.

Now, Jordan had turned his harem into a ticking time bomb though he could have absolutely removed it given his ability. Nevertheless, Cooper’s interference had posed the greatest threat, so Cooper had become Jordan’s main enemy at the moment.

If Cooper didn’t meddle with his affairs, Jordan would be confident in handling the women. However, in contrast, Jordan had now introduced Anna to the public and disrupted the original harmony within his harem. And yet, he didn’t seem to be concerned if Cooper would stir up more trouble.

As such, Sean inferred that Jordan must be holding a trump card in his hands which he could use to deal with Cooper.

With that, Sean felt faintly disturbed.

What could be the trump card that Jordan is holding?

In the past, Cooper was a malicious and ruthless beast. It was as if his whole body was covered with back scales, thus it was impossible to hurt him because there was nowhere one could lay a finger on him.

However, he had weaknesses now; his enemy just had to go after his weaknesses if they wanted to destroy him.

Sean subconsciously glanced toward Sophia, who stared at Jordan eagerly as she was looking forward to seeing him pulling out the engagement ring.

Sean too casted his eyes toward Jordan and thereafter lost himself in thought.

He could no longer speculate Jordan’s mind from the perspective of a normal person. It had come to a point where at times, Jordan did not act against humans in order to achieve an objective but he merely did it for pleasure.

As Cooper’s close confidant, Sean was aware of much insider information because Cooper would often turn to him for advice in making decisions. As such, he was conversant with the issues regarding Jordan, Cooper and Anna.

Recently, Sean had been pondering why Jordan had not gotten rid of Cooper and Annabel’s two kids when he took Annabel away back then.

Cooper was only eighteen that year. Having noticed him for some time, Jordan had planted Annabel beside Cooper when he was only sixteen years old.

At that time, there was no enmity between Cooper and Jordan nor was there any actual conflict of interest. The Mitchells and the Edwards had always established a cordial relationship between the two families via marriages and business partnerships. However, Jordan turned out to have planned several years in advance to tackle Cooper, and his ultimate scheme was to use a woman to ruin Cooper.

Jordan hated Cooper to the core and he would definitely not want Cooper’s offspring to stay alive.

Sean and Cooper once spent a long time mulling over this issue and toward the end, their only explanation was that Jordan deliberately allowed Cooper’s children to become homeless so they would suffer.

Indeed, Cooper was heartbroken after being made known to the truth years later.

Cooper was not even familiar with Jordan as they were only on nodding terms, yet Jordan did everything possible to ruin him.

Is this man a psychopath?

Clueless of Jordan’s scheme, Sean became increasingly perturbed.

“Oh—I just thought of something…”

Standing beside Sean, Sophia suddenly exclaimed enthusiastically, “My father’s drug manufacturing company has recently launched a sperm bank. We’re now having an opening promotion and you can freeze your second batch of sperm for free! Come for sperm freezing, guys!”

Pfft!

Wine spurted out of a few guests’ mouths in unison.

My Dreamy Old Husband Chapter 1393

Recently, the Michel Medical Technology Company had established a cryobank and their branch in Cethos had caused an uproar in Bayside City.

Stanley wiped his mouth and glanced around. True enough, the people surrounding them were giving them weird looks.

He nearly wanted to pounce on Sophia and cover her mouth. “Aunt, can you keep a low profile on this kind of matters? It’s so embarrassing to promote it!”

Puzzled, Sophia answered, “It’s not a big deal. I’ve frozen a few eggs too; it’s just an insurance for my plan of having a second child in the future.”

Stanley wanted to retort but Sophia had already started lecturing him. “Mr. Stanley, please allow me to give you a gentle reminder—you’re almost thirty years old and the quality of your sperm will decline if you don’t freeze them now. When that happens, it will be too late to freeze them.”

Stanley instantly blushed when Sophia brought up this matter.

“Aunt, I’m begging you! Can you please keep a low profile on this? Even if I want to freeze my sperm, I will do it secretly. Have you seen anyone pleasantly announcing to the public about them freezing their sperm?”

Sophia stared at Stanley disgustedly.

Nowadays, successful individuals from the upper class regarded their career as their utmost priority when they were young, and many would still not have a child in their thirties and forties as they wished to establish a rewarding career before having children.

However, when they had finally achieved career stability in their forties, many were not able to conceive a child anymore. Hence, the cryobank was founded in the perfect era.

People could save their best quality genes when their bodies were in the healthiest state. Later on when they were ready to have kids at an older age, they could retrieve the sperm and eggs to be fertilized and transferred back to the wife’s uterus, so the baby could be born naturally. This had become good news to many.

Back then, Sophia and Michael too struggled for a long time before successfully conceiving their child. Besides Sophia’s health issues caused by malnutrition since young, Michael was facing problems too. After all, he was already in his thirties at that time and the quality of his sperm was not as satisfactory as before.

They had even frozen their sperm and eggs back then, thinking that a test tube baby would be their last resort if they still failed to get a child in the future.

To Sophia, freezing sperms was just like how she saved Carmen’s milk teeth; both acted as an insurance for the future. Nowadays, many unmarried people from the upper class had saved their sperm in a cryobank and it became just as normal as saving money in a bank.

There was nothing to be embarrassed about!

While Linus thought it was not a big deal, Sean smiled awkwardly as Stanley blushed in embarrassment.

“Do help me to promote the cryobank in your blind dating group chat. There are many older people in the group who are not married. I’m sure they need this service urgently.”

Rattling on, Sophia even started advertising the cryobank. “We’re the first private cryobank to obtain a business license in Cethos. Besides sperm freezing, we provide egg freezing services too. Anyone who volunteers to freeze his sperms can even get a discount. If you’re planning to have a baby but don’t want to get married, we can provide top quality sperms or eggs. Our standards for selection are pretty high, so all the gametes are of superior quality. The business just started not long ago and it’s doing great. Many white and gold-collar workers have come to purchase premium gametes from us. You can ask my brother if you’re not convinced.”

Linus hummed in response.

Sophia continued, “Come on, Stan! Your sperm is normally wasted anyway. Why don’t you donate them to me for some money? The Fletchers’ genes are extremely good. We should establish a steady cooperation in the long term and you’ll have kids all around the world when you get older.”

Her words left Stanley flabbergasted.

All these corrupted, depraved capitalists! They’re even trading gametes; how is that different from human trafficking?

“In your dreams! I’ll never donate the chromosomes passed down from my ancestors!”

Sophia frowned at Stanley’s huge reaction. “They’re going to be wasted anyway. There’s no harm in donating them and what’s more, you can even get some money.”

Stanley was again dumbfounded.

What is she prattling on about?

Frightened by Sophia, Stanley hurriedly fled. On the other hand, Sean thought he could actually give it a try as a plan for the future. After all, it was undesirable for Maisie to be alone.

He didn’t want to get married but he wished to have his own child.

Meanwhile, Jordan had finally realized the disappearance of Cooper and Anna after quite some time.

Silently, he shoved Jordaine’s hand away, which was holding tightly onto him, and went to the lounge.

Anna and Cooper are together!

He could sense a hint of betrayal and adultery.

There were multiple individual rooms in the lounge. Many guests came here to catch up with friends while the attendants served them.

One by one, Jordan flung the doors open but Anna was nowhere to be seen even after checking several rooms.

Jordan, who was normally a calm person, had become flustered at this moment as his rage had overcome his rationality.

“What’s wrong, Jordan?” Jordaine caught up to him and asked.

Ignoring her question, Jordan continued searching for Anna through the rooms. His footsteps and breathing became increasingly ragged and he was at the verge of breaking down, his rationality torn apart.

He could not withstand Anna being together with another man, not even for a second.

At last, Jordan found Anna. He opened the door and saw Anna sitting on the sofa, gracefully sipping tea while Callum and Cade sat on the other end of the sofa. Three of them seemed to be having a good conversation.

Seeing Jordan’s arrival, Anna put down the tea cup and stared at him in surprise. “What’s wrong?”

Jordan glanced around the room suspiciously.

There were three people in the room but four cups on the tea tray.

To whom does the fourth cup belong to?

Who has been here?

Jordan seemed to know the answer.

This lounge was not too spacious and one could cover the entire room at one glance; there were no other hiding spots besides the washroom.

Without uttering a word, Jordan vigilantly walked toward the washroom, wishing he could pierce through the door with his sharp and ruthless sight.

Approaching the door, Jordan then laid his hand on the handle. He had a strong feeling that Cooper was inside the washroom.

He could even hear Cooper breathing.

He must have come here to have a secret date with Anna.

The rest of them remained silent as they watched Jordan’s actions.

Jordaine too seemed to have understood that Jordan came to catch them cheating in the act, so she kept silent and waited for the show.

Meanwhile, Callum and Cade too clammed up as they silently watched Jordan. Callum even put on a puzzled expression and asked, “What’s wrong, Father? Do you need to use the washroom?”

Sitting elegantly on the sofa, Anna remained quiet with a subtle smirk on her delicate features as she watched Jordan attempting to catch them red-handed.

Placing his hand on the washroom door handle, Jordan hesitated to push open the door because he knew that as soon as he did, there would be an unrestorable fissure between him and Anna.

However, he had to lift the veil!

Shuddering, his hand pressed on the handle. However, the door did not swing open as it was locked from the inside.

Furiously, Jordan knocked at the door and roared, “Come on out, Cooper!”

Nevertheless, there was no response behind the locked door.

Why are Anna and Cooper together?

Jordan had devoted his heart toward her in the past thirty years and had given her everything that he deemed was the best. He even assisted her to become the master of Yard Family. Why did she still choose to betray him?

And why must it be with Cooper?

Jordan kicked madly at the door, his rationality completely engulfed by his wrath.

My Dreamy Old Husband Chapter 1394

Unexpectedly, he suddenly heard a woman’s scream of horror. “Please give me a moment!”

Immediately after, there came the sound of the toilet flushing and a lady opened the door. As soon as she pushed the door open, she saw Jordan, who looked enraged. Startled, she stuttered, “M-Mr. Edwards!”

At the same time, Anna stood up and grabbed her bag. “I have a meeting tonight,” she murmured coldly. “Callum and Cade, let’s go.”

Hearing this, the twins grabbed their bags and the three of them left in a hurry. It was only then that Jordan came back to his senses.

He was afraid that the person in the toilet was Cooper but at the same time, he was also scared that it wasn’t Cooper.

However, it turned out to be the latter—the person in the toilet was not Cooper.

“Annie!”

When Jordan ran out of the room, Anna had already walked past a corner and in the blink of an eye, she entered the elevator.

“Annie!”

Jordan called out to her again but he didn’t hear any response. All he heard was the sound of the elevator ding before the doors closed, covering Anna’s blank expression.

Watching the elevator doors close, Jordan realized that he acted like an angry fool a moment ago.

Anger filled his mind and at that time, his insight that he was once proud of completely disappeared.

Just then, Jordaine ran up to him from behind. “Jordan, what’s wrong?”

She knew what had happened but she could only play dumb.

Anna is really wise! She made Jordan think that he misunderstood her. I’m sure he will definitely go accompany her tonight. Anna can’t give birth and she won’t even let men touch her, yet Jordan couldn’t forget about her for twenty years. It’s all because of her tricks of playing hard to get. Jordan has many women and all of them are devoted to him, all except Anna, who ignores him and treats him coldly. However, it is her cold attitude that makes Jordan reluctant to let her go. She has great ways to deal with him but I will not let her be his wife! Never! After all, I still have something over her! Even if she has two sons, it will be of no use!

At that moment, Lucy walked over and asked, “Dad, the gift that you prepared…”

Naturally, she was talking about the big present that he prepared to give Anna.

Unfortunately, Anna had just left in anger a while ago. It seems that the present won’t be of much use now. However, I exchanged tens of millions for it. I shouldn’t just let it go to waste. I must think of some way to deal with it.

It was only then that Jordan calmed down slightly and realized that he was completely carried away by his anger. Usually, he wouldn’t do something like that.

Pressing the elevator button, Jordan said, “I don’t need it anymore. You can have it.”

Later, the elevator doors opened and Jordan entered the elevators. Jordaine naturally followed behind him.

Now that I’m here today, I’ll make sure he forgets about Anna!

As for Lucy, she went to deal with the present Jordan left behind.

After they all left, the toilet door of the lounge that Anna was in a moment ago suddenly opened. Anna wasn’t there, Jordan wasn’t there, and the strange woman that appeared out of nowhere wasn’t there either…

Meanwhile, Cooper returned to the engagement banquet and saw that the singing and dancing had begun. It was a session that Jordan had prepared for Anna but now, it had become an engagement gift that Cooper gave Jordan.

Lucy also took over the huge diamond ring that Jordan wanted to give Anna as an engagement ring.

Cooper looked around for his son and daughter but he suddenly saw Stanley rushing toward him. Cheeks blushing, Stanley yelled, “Your daughter keeps teasing me!”

From a distance, Cooper could already hear Sophia’s cheeky laughter. He leaned closer and heard that they were talking about the sperm bank.

It seems that this program is really popular lately. Many young women and men got their eggs and sperm frozen when they were young and now that they want children, they realize that their health is not as good as before. Hence, they found the sperms and eggs that they had frozen back then and successfully had children. This program started more than twenty years ago and now that twenty years have passed, people who had invested in it can now see the results and it is really promising, so business has been great.

Cethos had slow development in this aspect and there were only a few state-owned cryobanks, but Cooper received approval and opened the first private cryobank.

As they spoke about this, Cooper suddenly remembered that when he was young, saving frozen samples in the cryobank had just entered the public eye and he seemed to have saved some.

Back then, Annable was dead and it made him feel like he had lost everything. He seemed to have changed overnight and he focused all of his energy on work. He didn’t want to get married, he couldn’t have any feelings for another woman more than admiration and he knew that he wouldn’t build a family for the rest of his life. However, he didn’t have a child and at that time, he wasn’t Fass and he hadn’t planned to leave the Mitchell family yet, so he froze his sperm for future plans.

Cooper remembered that he had paid the fees for 70 years all in one go. Almost 30 years have passed; I wonder what has happened to my sperm that I saved in the cryobank abroad?

I can’t remember the name of the cryobank and I’m sure that the receipt is long gone. If Sophia didn’t bring this up, I would’ve completely forgotten about this. I froze my sperm with my identity as Cooper Mitchell but I didn’t tell the Mitchell Family. Fortunately I didn’t; otherwise, if the Mitchell family knew about this, I might have come back to a few babies.

Technology is the last resort. The best babies are born through natural methods. To me, Linus and Sophia are like a pair of angels!

At the end of the engagement ceremony, the guests were invited to the balcony to watch the fireworks. After a loud bang, dazzling fireworks shot into the night sky one after another, creating a magnificent scene.

Half of Bayside City could see the fireworks. Everyone looked up to admire the amazing sky and some people were reminded of the best years of their lives.

Cooper thought of Anna, his children, and his grandchildren. Sophia also thought of her family. Lucy, who was standing next to her fiancé, only had the picture of a naughty rascal in her mind.

That year, she was already in university but an underage boy from a nearby high school pursued her madly. Of course she rejected him, but he didn’t give up. He pestered her non-stop like a pest. Even though he was foolish, he was determined and nothing could stop him. In the end, Lucy developed feelings for him.

“You are still underage so we can’t date each other,” she told him, to which he replied, “Are you willing to be with me after I become an adult?”

She murmured, “We can try.”

He was about to turn 18 that year so the two of them patiently waited until he became an adult.

However, when he finally turned 18, he suddenly disappeared. Lucy searched for him hysterically and she found him at the hospital after he tried to commit suicide countless of times. Turned out that he had become a she.

The fireworks went on. At that moment, tears welled up in Lucy’s eyes as thoughts of Dana buried deep under her mind and soul resurfaced; reflection of the lights from the fireworks and his figure could be seen in her eyes.

When another firework shot into the sky, Lucy’s cheeks were already covered in tears. He was hidden deep in every single teardrop.

Dana, are you okay? Dana, where are you?

“Dana, it’s time to leave.”

Meanwhile, Jordaine had left early. Moore rushed out to the balcony and saw that his new assistant was looking up, admiring the fireworks.

“Understood, Mr. Edwards.”

My Dreamy Old Husband Chapter 1395

After the fireworks show ended, Dana turned around and followed Moore into the luxury van. Soon, the car disappeared into the darkness.

“Wait? Is that Dana?”

Sophia’s head was spinning and she couldn’t even walk in a straight line. Her vision was blurry but she seemed to have heard someone mention Dana’s name. However, after looking around, she only saw a figure of a man walking away.

She continued searching around for a while but she couldn’t find anything.

I must have misheard the man. Why would Dana be here?

Later, all of them returned home. Under Sophia’s strong persuasion, Sean decided to freeze his sperms in their private cryobank. Stanley followed them and when he heard that Sean wanted to store his sperm, he blushed in embarrassment and yelled, “That’s disgusting! You guys are sick!”

“Why is it disgusting?” Sophia countered, disdain evident in her tone. “We operate according to the regulations. It’s great technology! Come on; I’ll take you to see our equipment.”

When Stanley heard that Sophia was taking him to see the equipment, he hurriedly grabbed the doorknob in horror and struggled hard. “No! I don’t want to! Please don’t!”

Meanwhile, Michael had joined them; he was also there to have a tour. He and Sophia had frozen their genes long ago but now that they had a cryobank, it was better to move their genes here, so they brought them over that day.

On the other hand, Cooper went home to look for his old work diaries and finally found the receipt from the sperm bank. He made a call and fortunately, the sperm bank didn’t close down so he managed to get his sperm that he had kept there for 30 years.

His sperm was really healthy because they were extracted when he was in his best shape. The rate of successful thawing was high so it was possible that he could have healthy offsprings.

Unfortunately, Anna didn’t freeze her eggs. She was already in her forties and her body was not as strong as before. Even if they had an IVF child, it would be bad for Anna’s health so Anna was unwilling to give birth to any more children, which was why Cooper felt that his sperms were unnecessary. He didn’t want any offspring running around in the future either, so he donated them to science research.

At that time, there was a new project in the medical science field. They were conducting genetic research on ordinary and talented people to test that apart from upbringing, where the earliest differences would appear and whether the genes of an average person could be genetically engineered to create prodigies.

It would be great if a remarkable person like Cooper could donate his genes for research. They had already gotten Linus’ genes and were already researching it.

After Cooper handed his genes over to the research team, he suddenly patted Michael’s shoulder and said, “You should extract some of your sperm later for extra precaution.”

He probably won’t be healthy forever. He can leave but he must leave a sample of his genes behind!

Cooper thought that his own genes were perfect. He was wise and calm but he lacked a little on the physical aspect. Cooper had a great mind but weak limbs.

He was great at academics but he sucked at sports. In fact, there were very few members of the Mitchell Family who were athletic and most of them were elegant academics like Cooper, which was why Justin was the odd one for being in the army.

The Fletcher Family’s genes fill this gap. Michael and Sophia’s child, Carmen, not only had the brains of the Mitchell Family, she also had the physical agility of the Fletchers too. Carmen had been practicing taekwondo lately and she was really talented.

Even though Michael looked a little soft, he used to work in the special forces during his earlier years, which was why Cooper thought if Michael would be gone in the future, at least they had some of his sperm in the cryobank.

Although Michael was over his prime, if they extracted more, they would at least have some that they could use.

Even though Michael knew that his father-in-law had good intentions, as he listened to Cooper’s tone, he felt that he had bad intentions deep down.

Why do I have a feeling that he’s treating me like a goose who lays golden eggs?

“Come on,” Sophia urged. “I’ll take you to the extraction room.”

With that, the two of them went into the allocated sperm collection room. As soon as they entered the room, Michael immediately closed the door and with a devilish smile, he said, “I want you to ‘personally’ collect it!”

Hearing this, Sophia instantly blushed and she punched him softly in the chest. “You disgusting pervert!”

Sean soon finished the collection process and he filled up the forms for registration records.

After he came out from the collection room, the way Stanley looked at him was radically different. For some reason, Stanley felt that there was something wrong with Sean and he was no longer the person he used to know, hence his strange look.

As for Michael, he didn’t come out of the room.

After agreeing to tour around the Michel Cryobank together, the couple had asked Stanley to promote the cryobank on his single friends’ chat groups and promised that they would treat him to dinner, which was why even though they hadn’t come out, Stanley and Sean didn’t leave.

As for Cooper, after he handed his genes to the research department, he sat outside waiting for his daughter.

Half an hour later, everyone was still waiting outside. Sophia, who went in to ‘personally’ collect Michael’s sample, wasn’t out yet and neither was Michael.

Sitting outside waiting, Cooper’s expression darkened and he looked really gloomy. Seeing this, Linus tried to hold back his laughter. Meanwhile, Sean closed his eyes and rested while Stanley laid down and fell asleep.

One hour later, they still didn’t hear anything. All of a sudden, Cooper jumped up from his seat, clenched his fists and got ready to knock on their door.

Linus hurriedly stopped him. “Dad, we cannot disturb the collection process… What if they can’t ‘extract’ it?”

With a grim expression, Cooper sat back down and continued to wait.

It was only after two hours later, when the sky was about to turn dark and the cryobank was about to close, that they saw the door open.

Sophia, who had personally gone in to help with the collection process, was as red as a tomato. Meanwhile, Michael seemed to be in a good mood as they walked out hand in hand.

Sophia then turned to Cooper, who looked mad, and said, “Dad, our work here is done!”

Cooper was obviously furious. He silently stood up and was about to leave but right at that moment, a researcher ran over in a hurry and whispered something to Linus.

After listening to him, a look of disbelief appeared on Linus’ face.

“Linus, what’s wrong?” Sophia hurriedly asked.

Linus didn’t reply; instead, he whispered something into Cooper’s ear.

After hearing what Linus said, Cooper looked shocked. In a doubtful tone, he asked, “Is that even possible?”

Then, he turned his head and said to Sophia, “You should go and have dinner. I have some things to deal with.”

With that, he and Linus followed the researcher to the research center.

Hearing that, Sophia was puzzled but she chose to leave.

Everyone worked hard today, especially Michael. He should be well rewarded.

When they arrived home, dinner was ready and Theo brought Carmen and Maisie home, while the staff in the kitchen were busy preparing the dishes.

However, Cooper and Linus had not returned. They called to urge them to hurry home but Linus told them that they would be back late.

After dinner, everyone watched television in the living room while waiting for the two to return home.

Judging from Cooper’s stern expression, they knew that something bad had happened.

It was around 10 at night when Cooper and Linus finally came home, and the former seemed to be in a bad mood.

After dinner, Cooper hugged Carmen for a moment and went to his room.

“What happened, Linus?” Sophia asked her brother anxiously. Hearing this, everyone hurriedly leaned in close.

It looks like something serious has happened!

With a look of sadness and disgust, Linus solemnly replied, “Dad’s sperm that he kept in a cryobank was switched!”

My Dreamy Old Husband Chapter 1396

Everyone was stunned but when they wanted to ask questions, Linus told them he was exhausted and left. They knew that it was a tiring day for him so they didn’t pressure him.

Cooper also did not bring up this matter, probably because he didn’t want to drag Sophia into it.

However, as one of Cooper’s favorites, Sean seemed to know something and he told Sophia.

“It’s not an accident or a mistake. Cooper’s sperm was switched long ago on purpose. Twenty years ago, the cryobank that he stored his sperm in was owned by Marks Real Estates. At that time, the Marks family already belonged to Jordan, which means Cooper had stored his sperm in Jordan’s territory. After conducting a test, it is confirmed that the sperm that he retrieved belongs to Jordan.”

Hearing this, Sophia broke into cold sweat.

This kind of attack made people uncomfortable both physically and psychologically.

“Is Jordan Edwards mentally ill?” Sophia shouted in anger.

Sean shook his head. “It seems so.”

Jordan is seriously mentally ill! Twenty years ago, Cooper was still a young man and had no grudges against him. However, not only did he want to destroy Cooper, he even messed with his genes.

If it weren’t for the changes that happened, many years later in the future when Cooper couldn’t have children, he might have headed to the cryobank to retrieve his sperm and look for another high-quality gene to have a child.

Then, Cooper will teach the child everything he knows and give him the power to handle all of his fortune, all the while completely clueless that the child isn’t his.

That is just sick and disgusting!

Fortunately, they had found out in time. This incident also made Cooper have a better understanding of how cruel Jordan was.

I really cannot imagine what other tricks Jordan will come up with to destroy Cooper.

Jordan is downright ruthless and cruel—he doesn’t care about law or reason at all. From a certain perspective, Ryan and Henry are more like him. They are barbaric and dirty, and they inherited Jordan’s inhumane character. They can do all kinds of harm but as they don’t have Jordan’s brains, they died at an early age.

However, Sean was worried about something. “They have Cooper’s genes now and I’m afraid that they might use it for bad intentions.”

Sophia was worried about the same thing. She didn’t want to see some evil brothers and sisters suddenly appear out of nowhere. Sophia didn’t really care if they fought for Cooper’s inheritance but she was afraid that they might hurt him…

Meanwhile, Tiffany had been really clingy to Cooper as of late. She often made excuses to visit his house to harass him, so Sophia often saw a pair of meatballs bouncing around the house.

Tiffany was so shameless that it was disgusting. She wore revealing clothes every time she visited and the whole family was angry about this, especially Sarah who lived next door. Every time Tiffany came, her daughter Betsy would wander around maliciously.

“Coop, my birthday is coming up so I’ll be having a special birthday party. Would you like to attend?”

Tiffany was wearing a low-cut blouse again and she rubbed against Cooper with her large bosom. Cooper was reading the newspaper and he was really annoyed by her so he murmured, “I’ll be there.”

Sitting at the side, Carmen was eating fruits and she secretly asked Sophia, “Mommy, why is that old woman wearing so little clothes?”

Hearing this, Sophia glanced at Tiffany.

She is wearing so little she might as well run around naked.

“Only adults can wear clothes like that,” Sophia hurriedly replied. “Children are not allowed to.”

Carmen nodded. “Mommy, why don’t you wear clothes like that?”

Upon hearing this, Sophia glanced at her small chest in dismay.

I think that my assets are quite big but compared to Tiffany, mine looks really small. If I have boobs like Tiffany, I would show them off everyday too! Unfortunately, I don’t.

Sophia looked at Tiffany in jealousy and thought of an excuse. “Mommy is a fairy. Fairies do not grow up so we don’t wear clothes like that.”

Carmen nodded in reply.

Tiffany indeed had the ability to make men go crazy over her and women feel jealous of her. Not only did she have a great figure, she was born with a charming personality that flowed within her body. Furthermore, she had a strange sweet fragrance that was alluring. In short, Tiffany was an exotic beauty.

Even though Sophia said that she didn’t want to see Tiffany, everyone—albeit men or women, or even animals—would subconsciously be attracted by beauty.

Even the dogs in the Fletcher Residence would rush over to Tiffany and admire her beauty, smell her sweet fragrance and rub against her leg, let alone Michael.

However, Cooper was an exception. He seemed to be completely unbothered by Tiffany’s charm as he sat there calmly and felt nothing at all.

That day, Tiffany, who tried to stay overnight at the house but failed, left unwillingly. Although she was shameless and often came over to join them for meals, she would keep her actions to a certain degree and make sure Cooper didn’t feel disgusted. She only annoyed Cooper to a certain degree that he could tolerate.

After all, she was great at figuring out a man’s thoughts and she knew when to play hard to get. Tiffany knew that she had to use different strategies to deal with different men, and she knew a lot of them.

No wonder she has dated all sorts of men over the years; she is really skillful at seducing them. Combined with her identity and status, all men will fall for her—all except Cooper.

Twenty years had passed and Cooper had grown from a young man to a handsome middle-aged man, while Tiffany had grown from a beautiful girl to a charming woman. However, she still could not make Cooper fall for her.

If Tiffany’s skill was to make all men fall for her, Cooper’s talent would be his ability to resist temptation from all women.

The two of them were different sides of the coin.

However, now that Cooper had agreed to join Tiffany’s birthday party, in her eyes, this was a great step forward.

I will sleep with Cooper no matter what!

Not long after Tiffany left, Stanley brought a female husky over in the middle of the night.

“Sophia, this dog belongs to my ex-wife. She’s pregnant and due soon. I’m putting her here,” Stanley said as he carried the dog’s clothes, food and bed from the trunk.

Sophia scoffed and asked, “Why are you leaving your ex-wife’s dog at my house? Why can’t you take care of her yourself?”

Moving the things into the house, Stanley replied, “Summer holidays are coming soon so Sean and I are going to bring the kids out for a short trip. My ex-wife is still in the hospital for rehabilitation so there’s no one to take care of the dog. If I leave her alone at home when we’re out on the trip, she will get bored. I’m worried that she might get prenatal depression and I suddenly remembered how lively your house is, so I decided to send her over.”

Sophia frowned. This b*stard really thinks that this is his house!

Christine was still recovering in the hospital and she was really strong. She cooperated with all the given treatments and she was financially capable. Her recovery had been going well and she even took the opportunity to hire a private tutor to improve her vocational skills.

Christine’s dog soon got pregnant after mating with Sophia’s dog. After Christine got hurt, there was no one to take care of the dog so the poor dog didn’t even have someone to feed it daily. Sean kind-heartedly took the dog in and took care of it so when he sent it over to Sophia’s house, the dog had a big and round belly, and was about to give birth.

After Stanley sent the dog over, he went home and the dog was left in Sophia’s house temporarily. Fortune and Richie didn’t know who was the father of the puppies and they came over to sniff the female husky one after another. Then, they even tried to ride her.

Seeing this, Sophia immediately grabbed a slipper and hit them on the head. With that, the two dogs left with their tails between their legs.

As expected, the female dog was more well-behaved and she didn’t destroy the house. She just quietly waited to deliver her babies.

The next day, Sophia took the dog to the pet hospital for a birth check-up and saw that the five babies in her belly were healthy.

After the check up, Sophia grabbed some nutrients that a pregnant dog needed and got ready to head home. However, as soon as she walked out of the pet hospital, she saw Tiffany walk straight into the obstetrics and gynecology department in the hospital.

This was a private hospital under Michael’s name. The pet hospital was just a part of it and the obstetrics and gynecology department in this hospital had a great reputation.

My Dreamy Old Husband Chapter 1397

“What’s going on?” Sophia wondered out loud, surprised written all over her face. Then, she hurriedly placed the dog in the car and followed Tiffany into the obstetrics and gynecology department.

That b*tch is pregnant? When did she get pregnant? Isn’t she pursuing Cooper? How can she be pregnant? Is she pursuing Cooper because she is pregnant and wants him to raise her child, or is it possible that the baby belongs to Cooper? Oh my goodness; Cooper slept with her!

Sophia observed Tiffany discreetly. After Tiffany left, Sophia immediately ran over to see her files, which revealed that Tiffany was three months pregnant with twins.

Three months… Tiffany is three months pregnant. Who is the father? I remember that she wasn’t in Bayside City three months ago so I’m sure that Cooper is not the father. However, she pursues Cooper like crazy. The babies don’t belong to him but she chases after him everyday. Moreover, Cooper seems to have changed his mind about her. I’m guessing Tiffany is definitely planning to let Cooper take care of her children!

Sophia rushed home in a hurry to stop Cooper from going to Tiffany’s birthday party, wanting to warn him to stay away from her. However, as soon as she entered the house, she heard Cooper say to Linus, “Linus, Tiffany’s birthday party is in a few days but I have some things to deal with so I can’t go. Looks like you’ll have to attend the party on my behalf.”

Linus, who just came home from the office, was stunned when he heard this. “Dad, where are you going?”

“Your sister told me that the husky is about to give birth soon and she has never helped a dog give birth before, so she’s a little nervous,” Cooper murmured. “I have to stay by her side and help her.”

Hearing this, Linus was silent for a moment before he murmured, “Fine; I’ll go on your behalf.”

This matter is indeed more important than Tiffany’s birthday party.

Standing at the door, Sophia felt speechless.

I think I may have been overthinking things. In Cooper’s eyes, Tiffany is just a business partner and a friend but from an emotional level, Tiffany is even less important than my dog. Come to think of it, Cooper is really cold and cruel.

The day of Tiffany’s birthday party finally arrived and the dog started to show signs of giving birth. Seeing that it was about to give birth soon, Cooper decided not to attend the celebrations. New lives were about to enter their family so it was really important to him—he couldn’t leave.

It was probably an excuse to not go to Tiffany’s birthday party. However, Sophia didn’t want Linus to go either. For some reason, she felt that Tiffany had hidden intentions.

On Tiffany’s birthday, when Tiffany, who was dressed extremely sexy that day, heard the knock on the door, she opened the door in excitement. However, she didn’t see Cooper, who she was expecting; instead, she saw Linus and Sophia standing outside the door.

Before her grin of joy could fully turn into a beaming smile, it froze.

Tiffany was living in a hotel suite and it was really expensive. She told Cooper that she was hosting a birthday party but when she opened the door, Sophia noticed that the lively party that she described wasn’t there.

Sophia glanced into the room and only saw the maid setting the table. A candlelight dinner had been set on the square table and the red wine was chilled, while an alluring and charming aroma wafted out of the room; a sniff of the fragrance could make a man fall head over heels.

Judging by the situation, if Cooper really came, he would be in great danger.

Sophia knew that Tiffany was in a bad mood after she saw them but Sophia still smiled and said, “Miss Tiffany, my dad has a last minute important meeting he needs to attend today so he can’t come. He says that he’s sorry.”

Linus presented her the gift that they prepared; he opened it and revealed a skincare set.

However, Tiffany didn’t even take a look at Cooper’s gift. In her gaze, there was a mix of disappointment and anger. She coldly glanced at Sophia and Linus before her lips curled into her usual polite smile.

“Oh—he’s busy?”

As she spoke, she made way for them and murmured, “Come in.”

Linus and Sophia both knew that Tiffany wasn’t happy but they shrugged off goosebumps and followed her into the room.

Tiffany was wearing a sexy pajama set underneath a silk robe. Her slender and fair legs were vaguely visible and it was really attractive.

The candlelight dinner, red wine and enchanting aroma, coupled with the ambiguous atmosphere in the room was easy to get someone in the mood—there were hints all over. Seeing this, Linus felt extremely awkward. Meanwhile, Sophia’s gaze was focused on Tiffany’s belly.

She’s three months pregnant but it’s not quite obvious.

Staring at Tiffany’s stomach, Sophia felt an inexplicable hostility toward the twins in Tiffany’s belly whose father was unknown. However, she had nothing to do with those two babies.

After Sophia and Linus went in, they exchanged pleasantries with Tiffany. A short while later, they excused themselves; Tiffany obviously didn’t want them around either. After sending them off, the hostess slammed the door with an ear-piercing bang.

Linus and Sophia glanced at each other before they left in a hurry.

When they arrived home, it was chaotic. Cooper anxiously went in and out of the dog’s room and he was wearing gloves for delivery, which had some blood on it. He looked really busy. It turned out that the dog was in the midst of giving birth but unfortunately, there were a few complications.

Fortunately for them, Theo had a lot of experience in delivering pigs so he was the one in charge of the complicated delivery.

After they entered the dog’s room, they saw a few men standing around the dog’s bed looking really worried.

Theo cheered the husky on as he tried to deliver her babies. “Come on! Breathe in… Harder! There’s two more babies left!”

Michael was standing at the side and he had gloves on too.

In a stern tone, Theo said, “Sons, the two of you are all grown up now. You are both stronger and more capable than me so there’s nothing much I can teach you. The skill of helping animals deliver babies is the only thing I can teach you. Take a closer look—the hardest part is coming.”

Michael looked helpless. He didn’t want to learn this ancestral trade but Theo was really eager to teach him. Theo owed them too much in this life so he felt that he would feel better if he taught Michael this trade.

Quinton rolled his eyes as he watched by the side. Theo also wanted to teach him this trade but Quinton was a doctor of medicine. Furthermore, he was also the one who delivered Carmen…

“I brought the nutrition cream!” Cooper ran into the room, panic written all over his face. He had brought over the dog’s favorite nutrition cream, which Theo then placed next to the dog’s mouth.

“Come and eat some yummy food. We’ll continue after you’re full.”

The dog struggled to eat the nutrition cream and after it was done, it obediently continued to give birth.

“Harder! Push harder! Oh no—I’m not asking you to shit!”

“Son, clean up the dog poop.”

Sophia entered the dog’s delivery room and asked, “Do you need my help?”

Theo frowned and quickly replied, “We don’t have any more sterilized gloves. You can’t help us.”

Upon hearing this, Sophia left the room. When she returned, she was wearing a pair of gloves that were meant for food. She poked her head in and asked, “Do you need my help?”

Seeing that, everyone was speechless. In the end, it wasn’t until late at night that the five puppies were finally born. Michael put a collar on each dog according to the order they were born to distinguish them before carefully placing them next to their mother.

Sophia held a puppy and stared at it. The newborn puppy was just born so it was soft and small.

“Hubby, look! It’s so pretty,” Sophia cooed in admiration.

Michael immediately frowned.

It’s not strange for her to think the puppy is pretty, but when she said it while she’s wearing food grade gloves, I can’t help but think that she’s actually hungry…

My Dreamy Old Husband Chapter 1398

Sophia held the puppy in her hands and she gazed at it.

It was covered in only a thin layer of fur and its pink skin was still visible; it was light as a feather in her hands.

“Hubby, look at its little claws and paws. How cute!”

In her hands, the newborn puppy looked like a little ball of flesh.

At that moment, Sophia had on a pair of gloves that looked like the ones she would usually wear when she had barbequed meat. As such, the father of the puppy leapt forward and started to whine at her.

And so, Sophia unhappily placed the puppy back to the litter before she huffed at Cash, “Alright, alright. I was just looking so stop barking at me.”

As soon as Cash saw the puppy had returned safely to the litter, it rested on its stomach and watched Sophia warily. It was worried that she would do something strange to that puppy with that pair of gloves again.

Meanwhile, another husky—Penny—came over to sniff it for a brief moment and left, leaving Cash who stayed to guard the litter and the mother. Now, they knew for sure who was the father of the litter.

However, Sophia still couldn’t help but feel a little ache as she saw the puppies; they were just too cute! She wondered if Carmen also looked like a tiny ball of flesh back when she gave birth to her…

It was too bad that she had forgotten all about it.

Sophia loved kids. In fact, she yearned to have another child but her health had not been in the best condition and she kept failing to conceive. As such, she had been tending to her health but unfortunately, her body was too weak and it would be difficult for her to conceive again.

When she was younger, she lived a tough life and that was when her illness started. Now, it would not be easy for her to have a baby. Even if she did, there would be complications during birth.

Sophia had considered going overseas to find a legal surrogate but she felt that it would be strange to have her baby coming out of someone else’s body, even though it had her genes.

She also wanted to try IVF but she heard that it was very painful, and that it was better not to take that step unless it was absolutely necessary.

In the end, Sophia decided it was best to conceive naturally.

However, there had been no changes in her body.

She felt like there was nothing she was missing in life except a second child.

Other families already had their second or third child, while she only had Carmen. Now that Cethos had ended the one-child policy, she thought her belly should end its ‘policy’ too.

Though, she wasn’t even thirty yet so she was in no hurry. Meanwhile, Tiffany was in her forties and she was still pregnant.

Speaking of her… For some reason, Sophia felt disturbed at the thought of Tiffany’s child.

She wondered what was the deal with that.

Since they knew about her pregnancy, things were quiet for a couple of days. However, on the third day, Tiffany came again early in the morning.

She was only three months along, so there had not been major changes to her body yet and it still remained in shape.

Sophia stole a few glances at Tiffany from the side.

She was already in her forties, yet she was pregnant. Moreover, the risks of late pregnancy were huge. She must know that.

So, who exactly did she conceive this child with?

As if she had forgotten about her birthday party a few days ago when she was stood up by Cooper, Tiffany came prancing over again today for a business meeting with Cooper.

Although it was a business meeting, she was wearing a low-cut dress as always.

On this day, it just so happened that Stanley and Sean were here to see the puppies with Maisie and they would be staying for lunch. As such, the atmosphere at their home instantly became lively. With that said, everyone who was there saw how Tiffany’s huge breasts bounced.

What an eyesore!

As a matter of fact, Michael had a dislike for those whose surname was Adams.

The younger one was trying to hit on his daughter while the older one was trying to hit on his father-in-law.

Neither of them were better than the other.

These Goddamn insurance people!

After sticking around for lunch, Tiffany tagged along with Cooper—who happened to have some things to do—and they left together. Not long after, Michael left too.

As soon as Tiffany was gone, Sean stressed, “You need to be careful around Tiffany. She’s not as innocent as she seems.”

Naturally, Sophia was aware of this.

She knew that Tiffany was almost as sick as Quinton.

On top of that, Sophia was definitely going to wait for the opportunity to confront Cooper and stop him from being a dad of a child that wasn’t his!

On a relaxing weekend afternoon, everyone was chatting in the living room, discussing where the dogs were going.

Upon learning that they were dividing the puppies, Sarah rushed over to pick one for herself. When she picked hers, she left a mark on it and was gazing at the dogs happily. Suddenly, her phone lit up in her pocket and she pulled it out to look.

As soon as she took a glance, her happy and youthful face instantly turned dark.

“Fcking btch!” she cursed before rushing out again.

“What happened?” Sophia asked and followed Sarah; she had a feeling things weren’t as simple as it seemed. Judging from Sarah’s demeanor, it looked like something serious had happened.

As Sarah stormed out, she growled, “That fcking btch, I’m going to kill her! I’ll kill her!” Her youthful face was full of rage. Even though she had been Mrs. Winston for a long time, she never behaved calmly like a grown woman should.

Fcking btch?

Is Harry messing around with other women?

No; that can’t be. It is usually the man-eaters who will grab any opportunity to pounce on him.

Just then, Sarah went home and changed her shoes before leaving. Upon seeing that she was not in the right state, Sophia went after her and got into the car with her.

In the car, Sarah had a sullen expression and did not speak a word. Grabbing Sarah’s phone, Sophia saw that someone had sent a photo to her anonymously. In that photo was Hope, who had recently been sent to join a painting class. It turned out that Sarah really wanted him to pick up drawing as a skill and become an elegant artist in the future.

Much to Sophia’s surprise, on Hope’s little face was a huge lipstick stain.

In the photo, Hope was carrying his backpack as he looked icily at the camera. Next to him was a person in black who was holding him.

It looked like Hope had been kidnapped!

All at once, Sophia was outraged and disgusted.

“Who is this? How dare they…”

They kissed Hope’s cheek and deliberately left a lipstick stain!

At that point, Sarah was grim. Pressing her lips together, she spat through gritted teeth, “Betsy.”

Sure enough, it was her again.

She was Harry’s die-hard fan and Tiffany’s daughter—it was clear the apple didn’t fall far from the tree!

She had deliberately sent the photo to provoke Sarah.

“Hurry up and call Mr. Blond!” Sophia urged.

However, Sarah remained silent.

In the email, Betsy specifically instructed Sarah to go over.

When Sarah left, she did not contact Harry, who was away shooting for a film, because she knew that Betsy wanted to negotiate with her again.

Furthermore, Sarah knew that she was who Betsy wanted. Once she was there, Betsy would release Hope.

The easiest way for Betsy to replace Sarah as Harry’s wife was to get Sarah to leave.

Since Betsy wanted to negotiate, then Sarah was going to make sure they settle this once and for all!

Seeing that Sarah did not respond, Sophia kept an eye on her and discreetly texted Michael and Sean.

Soon, they arrived at a high-class hotel and went to the room Betsy specified. At the entrance, there were already people who had been waiting for their arrival.

Upon entering the room, there was a romantic candlelight dinner set up in the room and the food smelled delicious.

At that moment, Betsy was feeding Hope, who was sitting across from her. While feeding him, she cooed, “Say ‘Mommy’!”

Meanwhile, Hope looked indifferent. On his tender little face was an eye-catching lipstick stain which was the same color as the one Betsy had on her lips.

My Dreamy Old Husband Chapter 1399

Betsy was wearing a full face of makeup, and a short, low-cut dress that showed off her long legs. At that moment, she was trying to feed Hope, who refused to open his mouth. His tiny face had an icy cold expression.

“Hope!” At once, Sarah appeared at the door and called out anxiously. Hope, who had his back toward the door, turned around and eyed her and the people with her. He was comparing the strengths of his mother and Betsy, contemplating whether to run to his mother, or continuing acting like he didn’t know her.

When he saw Sarah, he realized she only brought Sophia and two little lackeys with her. As such, he suppressed the urge of running over to his mother and remained seated without any expression.

Upon seeing no response from Hope, Sarah was baffled. “Hope, what’s the matter?”

Regardless, Hope was still silent and the atmosphere became tense. On his face, the bright red lipstick stain looked like it had become more distinctive.

Sarah assumed something had happened to her son so she lunged forward while hissing, “Fck you, btch! What have you done to my son?”

However, Betsy deliberately went to sit next to Hope and gave him a kiss on his other cheek, leaving another lipstick stain that matched the first one.

“Your son? Soon, he won’t be yours anymore… Right, Sour Face? You’re my good boy,” She lifted his chin and puckered her lips before leaving yet another lipstick stain on his forehead.

Meanwhile, Hope was indifferent and remained silent. He did not show any emotions, nor did he respond or object.

Thinking he was just shaken up, Betsy rubbed his cheeks and continued, “Come on, son. Call me ‘Mommy’. Say, ‘Mommy’.”

However, Hope remained still and kept mum. No matter what the opponent did, he would remain motionless.

Who knew Betsy would be this shameless. Sophia was baffled yet again by the shamelessness of this pair of mother and daughter duo. Just then, she fumed, “Betsy, let go of Hope. Are you trying to start a war between the Adams and Winston Family?”

Meanwhile, Betsy was holding an emotionless Hope as if she was holding her own son. She curled her lips and giggled, “Start a war? Do I look like I’m starting a war? I’m clearly trying to unite the Winston and Adams Family!”

Looking at Sarah whose face was flushing with anger, she smirked. “Well? Have you considered my proposal, Sarah?”

Sarah snapped, “If you think I’ll leave my husband and son and let you replace me, you can dream on! It’s not going to happen, so just give up!”

In fact, Betsy had been trying to seduce Harry more times than she could count. She would attach herself onto Harry whenever there was an opportunity, and that caused Harry to be at his wit’s end. He would avoid her like she was AIDS. Now, Betsy hardly had the chance to see him.

As such, she turned her attention to Sarah. As long as this pretty young thing was gone and the spot was vacant, she would have a higher chance with Harry. Previously, she used many excuses to force Sarah to negotiate, but this time, she actually kidnapped her son!

Holding Hope in her arms, Betsy crossed her legs before her enchanting red lips spat out each syllable in a sing-song voice, “Fine, then the both of us will carry on with this.” She was not afraid and did not care that she was a homewrecker. In fact, it seemed like this homewrecker was trying to wreck everything with a wrecking ball!

In a smug manner, Betsy challenged, “There’s an old saying in Cethos that goes, ‘When there is a will, there is a way’. Right now, I have a strong will to steal Harry’s heart, and I will come up with many ways to take it. I will grab even the smallest opportunities to get what I want. He can run, but he’ll never be able to hide from me. As long as I’m still around, both of you will never have peace. One day, Harry will be mine!” She spoke with great pride, as if she was doing something truly honorable.

“You!” At that point, Sarah was shaking with anger. Her tiny figure looked like it was about to explode anytime. Indeed, even if Harry was unwavering, it would still be extremely annoying to have her linger around like a fly.

Recently, they had gotten sick and tired of Betsy. Not only did she harass Sarah and Harry, she even went as far as to kidnap Hope. Sarah was contemplating leaping forward to fight this foul woman, but since Hope was still in her hands, she couldn’t act recklessly. She had to get the child to safety before doing anything else.

Settling down, Sarah took a couple of deep breaths to calm herself as best as she could. With a calmer voice, she said, “Didn’t you say you would let him go if I came? Well, I’m here now. If you have any problems with me, come to me. Leave my son out of it!”

Betsy had already poured herself a glass of red wine and was sipping it slowly. She placed the glass before Hope and said, “Here, son. Have a sip, you’ll like it.”

Hope, whose face was covered with lipstick stains, glanced at Sarah and remained motionless.

Despite being ignored by Hope, Betsy was not angered at all. Instead, she smiled devilishly and held him closer to her. “Yes, I did say I would give him to you, but didn’t I ask you to bring Harry along? When the three of us are done with our dinner as a family, I’ll return Hope to you temporarily.”

What? Temporarily? Every word she spoke was dripping with arrogance. Sarah tried very hard to hold back her screams of frustration and said through gritted teeth, “I will never let you see my husband!” There is no way I’m going to step down! Betsy can dream on if she thinks she can sleep with my husband!

Yet, Betsy still had that emboldened demeanor. She had one hand around an indifferent Hope while she delightfully ate with her other hand. It seemed like she was waiting for Harry. As long as Harry wasn’t here, she would not let go of Hope.

What a b*tch! Sophia cursed internally. At the same time, she was worried for poor Hope who was being held hostage. It’s okay, Harry and Michael will be here soon. They were stalling while waiting for their arrival. Sophia peeked at her phone and saw that Michael had shared their real-time coordinates, and that they were already on their way over.

On top of that, Michael also sent a message that said ‘Harry is furious. Protect the child and yourselves.’

Harry is furious. Protect the child and yourselves? The message behind this sentence meant that… Harry was going to kill her! It seemed like Harry’s patience had reached its limit!

At once, Sophia glanced at the frenzied Betsy and the child who was trapped in her arms before shifting her gaze to Sarah, whose tears were welling up from anger. Her mind raced. No matter what, I have to get the child away from Betsy before the fight breaks out! As such, Sophia suggested, “How about this? Let’s each take a step back, okay? Sarah, think about it. There really isn’t any issue with lending your husband to someone else to sleep with, right? Come one, let’s sit down and talk.”

Upon hearing this, Sarah gaped at her in surprise. Meanwhile, Sophia was already tugging her to sit at the other side of the table and acted like a peacemaker. “There’s nothing you can’t negotiate, right? Come on, let’s negotiate. How about this—on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, Harry belongs to Betsy, and on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays, you get to have Harry. On Sundays, you’ll both share him.”

Share him? Over my dead body! Sarah was foaming at the mouth.

When Betsy saw that they seemed to have given in, she smiled proudly and gave a command to the bodyguards in the room. “You may leave us.”

As instructed, they left the room, leaving the four of them at the table. Sophia and Sarah were sitting on one side while Betsy was sitting on the other side with Hope in her arms.

At that moment, a plan was forming in Sophia’s head…

My Dreamy Old Husband Chapter 1400

As a matter of fact, the Adams family had been in the insurance industry for several generations. As such, they had become giants in the industry. Moreover, those who were in this industry were relentless, had great patience, and not to mention thick skin.

Thus, Betsy was determined to win over Harry after coming back to Cethos this time.

The Adams family was the king of the insurance industry, and there was no insurance that they couldn’t sell. Nor were there any men that she couldn’t get.

Of course, they were also kings of coming up with various reasons for not settling claims.

As expected, Sarah gave in.

At that moment, the three women sat together to negotiate while Hope was still in Betsy’s arms with a sour face, which was littered with lipstick stains.

Betsy laid out her conditions. “Since you’ve given in, I’ll lay out my terms. I want Harry.” Her tone was firm, as if she was saying, ‘You will buy this insurance from me’.

At once, Sarah slammed the table and shot up from her seat. “Dream on, you b*tch!”

Hastily, Sophia pulled her back down to her seat and advised, “I know what you’re feeling, Sarah, but we can work this out calmly. Let’s all sit and talk it out like grownups, alright?”

She held Sarah’s hand and subtly hinted at her while tugging her back down to sit. When she calmed down, Sophia took the opportunity to continue, “As for you, it’s rude to come and grab someone else’s husband like that. How about both of you take a step back and have a discussion on how you’re going to share him. You could each take him on specific days like I said earlier, and let Harry rest on Sundays. After all, he’s not young anymore and his body isn’t as strong as before. If anything happens to him, nothing good will come to the both of you, right? How about a one-month trial? When the time is up, Harry will decide who stays.”

F*ck you, Sarah thought. Without saying a word, she scoffed and turned away.

Meanwhile, Betsy had a look in her eyes that looked like she was considering this idea.

Naturally, she was unwilling to share Harry with Sarah.

However, if Sarah took one step back, she would be one step closer to Harry. Of course, stepping forward wasn’t her biggest difficulty, but getting rid of Sarah was.

As long as Harry was willing to sleep with her for a night, she would be able to keep him by her side for the rest of his life.

Finally, Betsy raised her eyebrow and insisted, “Three days is too little. Harry should be with me on Sundays too!”

Upon hearing this, Sarah almost lunged forward to give her a hard slap.

Meanwhile, Sophia said in a business-like tone, “But Harry is already in his forties and he can’t possibly withstand all the action. Perhaps Sarah could also share her son with you, like his father.”

Hope remained emotionless, whereas Sarah was on the verge of exploding.

Pausing for a moment to think, Betsy then decided, “The child comes with me on weekends too.”

Sophia was already holding down Sarah, whose blood was boiling. “Alright, alright. Well, there’s no use in just talking, so you’ll both have to sign a contract.”

Betsy glanced at Sarah and jeered, “What do you think, dwarf?”

Sarah, who almost exploded with curses, pressed her lips together and swallowed the insults before slamming the table again. “Let’s sign it!”

Suspiciously, Betsy gazed at them for a moment before dropping her guard and smirking.

Sarah is no match for me!

At that moment, Betsy put down Hope to go get a pen and paper…

Now!

Sophia was about to grab the child when he instantly slid under the table to hide.

Right then, there was silence between the trio.

“Fck you, and fck your mom too!” Without missing a beat, Sarah leapt toward Betsy like a predator and grabbed a handful of her hair before beating her.

It was only then Betsy realized she had been tricked before clawing at Sarah furiously.

“My mom is Tiffany Adams, so f*ck her if you want to!”

The two women wrestled on the floor.

Meanwhile, Sophia heard someone approaching the door, who clearly heard the commotion going on in the room. She frantically rushed to lock the door before going over to the table, lifting the table cloth and picking Hope up from under the table.

“Hope, go hide in the bathroom. Don’t come out unless Mommy or Godmommy says you can, alright?”

Without saying a word, Hope went to hide in the bathroom.

Meanwhile, there were poundings on the door from the outside, but Michael and Harry weren’t here yet.

Now, the only way to contain the situation was to restrain Betsy.

Unfortunately, even if Sarah was feisty, she could barely hold herself up against Betsy who stood at five foot five and had large breasts. At that moment, Sarah was being held down by Betsy while her large breasts hung over Sarah’s face, almost suffocating her.

Sophia grabbed a steak knife from the table and went over to try and restrain Betsy.

She did not learn the skill of single-handedly snapping a person’s back from Quinton, so she could only hold a knife to Betsy’s neck to make sure they could leave the room safely.

However, when she rushed over with the knife, Sarah, who was pinned to the ground, suddenly gathered all her strength and managed to push Betsy off of her. “I’ll f*ck your dad too!”

Then, they went back to fiercely wrestling again. When Sophia rushed to help, the knife in her hand was somehow thrusted into Betsy’s back.

At once, Betsy let out a muffled grunt and lowered her head in disbelief as she felt a sharp pain on her back. Then, she felt a warm liquid gradually flowing down—she was losing blood along with her life. When she reached to touch her back, she realized there was a knife sticking out of it.

When she fell limp on the ground, Sarah saw the knife.

Curling up on the carpet, Betsy cried in pain as a pool of blood started to form around her. She screamed for help, and even Sarah and Sophia were shocked.

Just then, there was a scuffle outside the door and someone was desperately trying to kick the door open.

Glancing at Sophia’s bloody hand, Sarah instantly lunged forward, pulled out the knife from Betsy’s back and rubbed it on her clothes to get rid of the fingerprints before stabbing Betsy again.

“Fck you, btch!”

Betsy cried for help as she crawled around the room with a trail of blood behind her. Clutching the knife in her hand, Sarah followed her and stabbed her a few more times. Each stab was deep and merciless.

After a few moments, Betsy’s screams became weaker and weaker, until she was finally lying motionless on the ground and became a battered corpse. Her blood and some of her insides were all over the floor, while Sarah was still ruthlessly impaling her with the knife in her hand.

She had had enough!

Since Betsy was already stabbed, the Adams Family would not let them off easily anyway! She might as well kill her!

While Betsy thought that she was competent enough to pry Harry away, Sarah thought she was competent enough to kill this little b*tch!

On the other hand, Sophia was so frightened that she had goosebumps all over her body. Shivers were running down her spine as the hair on the back of her neck stood on end.

In fact, she had never seen this murderous side of Sarah before.

Indeed, Betsy deserved it, but for Sophia who was witnessing Sarah’s ruthlessness for the first time, she was horrified. Despite that, she still had a clear mind. Knowing that the Adams family would not spare them because they had killed Betsy, they had to quickly come up with a strategy.

“That’s enough. She’s dead. Calm down.”

At that moment, Sarah’s eyes were blazing murderously. Presumably, she had been with Harry for a long time and the Winstons’ habits had rubbed off on her.

In fact, Sarah was merciless when it came to her own parents and uncle, let alone a shameless b*tch!

When Sophia went over to pull Sarah away, blood was splashed onto her face. At that moment, the door swung open.

By the door stood Harry and Michael. Upon learning the news, Cooper and Linus came as well, and so did Tiffany and Bailey.

As soon as Tiffany saw Betsy’s battered corpse in a puddle of blood, she almost fainted.

“Betsy! No!”
