My Dreamy "Old" Husband [Completed]

My Dreamy Old Husband Chapter 1283

Sophia and Michael attended the ceremony together. As soon as they entered, they looked around for Cooper and saw him drinking liquor while Linus accompanied him at a corner.

“Dad!” She quickly ran over to him.

However, Cooper did not seem to drink much liquor, so his eyes were still clear. When he saw her coming with Michael toward him, he answered in a flat tone, “Hello.”

At the same time, Tiffany continued to persuade Cooper to drink more. “Here you go. I know you are upset, so you should have some liquor.”

She shook her huge breast while her whole body was almost resting on his lap, but he pushed the red wine that she gave him away. “I can’t drink any more of this. Why don’t you drink it yourself?”

However, she pushed the wine over to him again. “It’s fine. This wine has a low alcohol percentage. You can drink more of it.”

Even though he still refused to drink it, he could not bring himself to say no to her. Maybe the only thing that can save me now is wine. The moment the wine reaches my stomach, the cold liquid seems to temporarily numb all the pain. This is fair enough…

On the other hand, Tiffany could not wait for Cooper to down a few more glasses of wine since she could only make her move when he was drunk. I’ve stayed by his side for 20 years, but I never had the chance to see what kind of a man he is. I must succeed this time!

She was really excited when Cooper’s face started to redden after two glasses of wine, so she pressed her huge breast on his shoulder and murmured sweetly, “Fass, how do you feel?”

Despite her efforts, his words were still lucid. “Tiffany, your breast weighs a ton and it’s pressing on my shoulder.”

Instantly, she was rendered speechless. Looks like he hasn’t been drinking enough.

Therefore, she wanted to give him more wine, but Sophia could not stand it anymore and immediately snatched the glass from his hand before being cold toward Tiffany. “That’s enough. My dad can’t drink anymore. Are you trying to embarrass him in front of everyone by making him drunk?”

Tiffany smiled. “Don’t worry. If he’s drunk, we can let him rest in a hotel room.”

Her lust was written all over her face to the point where she almost screamed that she wanted to bed Cooper.

However, Sophia was well aware of Tiffany’s intentions, so she would not allow the latter to get away with it! She needs Cooper’s consent if she wants to bed him!

“Come, hubby. Lend me a hand since we need to send Dad home.” Sophia did not want Cooper to stay any longer and suffer the pain of watching Anna with another man, so she asked Michael for help.

After that, Michael also came to support Cooper. My young-looking father-in-law is really torturing himself. If it was me in my younger years and the woman I love is forced to be engaged to another man, I would have gathered thousands of soldiers from the Fletcher Family. Everyone involved in the marriage won’t escape my grasp as I will include them on my list of executions. Of course, Irene doesn’t count because she’s not worth it. However, one has to compromise in this world. The older you become, the more you think about your actions. Cooper and I know that it’s for the best if we don’t interfere with the engagement ceremony. The painful part is when emotions and rationality cross with each other. Now, he can only watch everything happen in front of his eyes while being unable to stop it.

However, Cooper pushed them away. “Leave me alone. I’m not that weak.” I’m not leaving. No matter how deep the pain is, I’m not leaving her alone.

Not far away, Anna was surrounded by everyone like a celebrity who was with her husband and sons beside her. She had a happy family, a satisfying career, and she was loved by everyone, but not many could feel the anger and helplessness in her heart.

Occasionally, her eyes would land at a certain corner when other people were not noticing. Everytime, she could find that man and gaze into his eyes. For a moment, she felt as though she had infinite strength and courage to face everything. I’m not alone because I still have him…

He was unwilling to leave because he wanted to stay for the engagement ceremony, so Sophia had no choice but to accompany him. She thought, Sigh… Why is God so merciless toward our family?

Sitting in between Cooper and Tiffany had allowed Sophia to prevent the other woman from giving him any more wine. With Linus and Sophia sitting on each side of Cooper, Tiffany knew that she had no chance to make her move tonight because Michael was still looking at her from the side. Even if Cooper became drunk, Tiffany would not be able to drag him away, so she left with little interest.

Afterward, Sam came over with some wine and touched Cooper’s glass. “Coop, are you alright?”

Cooper already had some anti-hangover drugs, so he looked as awake as usual, but his face was still slightly red. “I’m fine. I’m just thinking of something.”

Sam did not seem to completely understand what was happening and left with his wine after exchanging a few words with Cooper.

However, Sam was curious about Jordan’s second wife, Anna. Even though the two of them had met before, it was merely a greeting and they never had the chance to speak.

She was surrounded by many elites today, so Sam did not have the opportunity to speak with her. Upon seeing that Jordan had left and there were not many people around her, he took the chance to greet her.

“Hello, Anna. I’m Sam. I’m the ninth child in the Edwards Family. You can just call me Sam.” Sam went up and politely greeted her.

Upon hearing his voice, Anna turned and saw him.

The two of them glanced at each other and felt that the other person was oddly familiar. When Sam saw Anna, he felt that her eyebrows were extremely familiar to him, but her mannerism was much different from the person whom he had in mind. Also, their background was vastly different.

On the other hand, she also felt particularly familiar when she saw him. Somehow, she felt that his name was not Sam, but in the end, she managed to suppress her doubts and touched his glass. “Hello. I’m Anna.”

After a few words, the two of them parted ways.

As Anna gazed at Sam’s leaving back, she still felt that it should not be his name. His name should have been Andrea or something else… Why did this weird name come up in my mind?

The more he looked at her, he also felt that she seemed familiar…

When he turned to look at her again, she was already surrounded by a crowd. Maybe she is someone whom I once met, but I’ve already forgotten where and when.

The engagement ceremony was about to begin and Sophia was getting anxious as she quietly tightened her fists.

Suddenly, she rose to her full height and carried her bag before saying, “I need to head to the washroom.”

Michael quickly replied, “I’ll come with you.”

The married couple left, but unexpectedly saw Sandra and Lucy together after a few steps. The two of them seemed to be discussing something.

Sandra should have ran out of her medicine long ago, so how is she still able to move around freely…26659

Phantom Wolf’s fake drugs had stopped production a long time ago. When Phantom Wolf was disbanded, someone had tried to snatch the formula and its production line, but since everyone wanted it, an intense war broke out in the end and destroyed the entire production line. Even if someone had the formula, it would be difficult for them to produce it anywhere else.

Did Sandra land her hands on some fake drugs again?

At that moment, Lucy and Sandra were talking about something—one had a cold and indifferent face while the other had a distorted face, which reflected all of her evil intentions.

“If you don’t carry out this task, I will tell everyone, including the Edwards, about your scandal! Now that you have four younger brothers, do you still think you can hold onto your position as the heir if everyone knows about your scandal?”

My Dreamy Old Husband Chapter 1284

Sandra forcefully lowered her voice to threaten Lucy.

She had actively volunteered to help Henry to spoil the engagement ceremony, so she could only threaten Lucy to assist her.

However, Lucy did not seem to be affected at all. “It doesn’t matter whether they dare to be engaged or not. As long as their true identity is exposed, they will still be the heir to the Edwards Group even if they are b*stards. Besides…” She glared at the delusional Sandra. “If I come out and ruin the engagement ceremony, they will have another one the next time. Also, my father will punish me afterward. I’m not that stupid. Who cares if you’ll expose me? No one believes you!”

“You—” Sandra was extremely short-tempered and whenever she was irritated, her face would flush aggressively. “Lucy Edwards, don’t forget who you are! If you dare to defy me, I’ll expose your scandals!”

Lucy completely ignored Sandra, but the people who were near them repeatedly glanced at their direction. Lately, Sandra had been involved in lots of drama—including the swimming pool incontinence incident and the exposure of her drug use. There was also news from the Mitchell Group that they were on the brink of collapse, so none of the elites in Bayside City dared to approach her.

I wonder how she managed to join the fashion party today.

Upon seeing Lucy’s disdain toward herself, Sandra was frustrated, but she could not afford to fail the mission!

Without Lucy’s help, she could only rely on herself. Luckily, I came prepared!

Then, Sandra grabbed her bag and went into the washroom. In the cubicle, she took out a lighter from her bag and a huge firecracker…

At the banquet, the atmosphere was buzzing. Since the time was up, Jordan and Anna held their hands as they were about to be engaged.

After the engagement, they quickly received their marriage certificate and the wedding was already being prepared. He officially revealed his position in the Yard Group and she as the matriarch of the Edwards Family.

Many strong women around the world would soon realize that they had the same type of husbands as Anna…

In the meantime, Sophia and Michael returned before sitting beside Cooper, who was currently discussing something with Bailey.

She repeatedly glanced at Bailey. Oh my, this brat is really something! If only Carmen can be as brilliant as him at that age. But, I think it’s better for her to focus on school and exams at the age of 14.

Just as she was about to say something to Linus, a huge explosion suddenly came from the washroom. The whole State Hotel shook while the glasses fell to the floor, causing the guests to panic and screams from female guests could be heard at the same time.

“What happened?” Sophia swiftly stood up.

The guests looked at each other while the smell of gunpowder overpowered the scent of wine.

Amidst the silence, someone screamed in horror, “There’s a bomb! Someone is trying to kill us all! Run!”

There’s a bomb! There’s actually a bomb! Tonight, all the top elites from around the world are gathered here. If the bomb is detonated, the whole Bayside City will plunge into chaos!

The sudden panic threw the entire banquet into chaos as the screaming guests fled the scene. As the commander-in-chief of the scene, Lucy was also shocked. Without her orders, the on-site emergency team had already made their move to escort all the guests out in an orderly fashion. There was also a bomb squad that entered the washroom and discovered that a cubicle was blown up.

The scene was now a mess as the guests frantically rushed toward the emergency exit. In the crowd, all the furniture had been flipped over and plates were smashed on the floor. Someone even fell to the floor before being trampled by countless feet.

Amidst the chaos, Sophia, who was sitting in the corner, was not involved in the crowd as Michael quickly protected her. “Let’s go. I know where the emergency elevator is.” No matter whether there is a bomb or not, it’s not safe to stay here!

“Dad, let’s go!”

Cooper glanced at Sophia and murmured, “Linus, take good care of your sister.”

Without saying anything, he rushed into the crowd and ran toward Anna. I can’t leave her!

“Dad—” Sophia yelled, but he was instantly engulfed by the crowd.

Michael quickly dragged her to the emergency elevator and left.

In the chaos, she saw the two brothers with their cane. It was difficult for them to move around as they squeezed in the crowd, so they were on the verge of falling down.

Upon seeing them, she instinctively moved her foot. “Go to hell!”

She kicked Henry down and he happened to fall on Ryan. As soon as the two brothers fell together, she took the chance to ruthlessly step on them before escaping. For convenience sake, she removed her high heels so that she could run faster while being barefoot. Soon after, she arrived at the front of the emergency elevator and prepared to leave.

Linus had also caught up to them, but sadly… Cooper was not beside him.

Inside the elevator, she felt relieved yet worried. Looks like this engagement party is ruined, but I’m worried about Cooper and Anna.

At the banquet, Anna was not prepared for the sudden incident at all. At first, she was surrounded by many people who wanted to talk while Jordan happened to leave all of a sudden. Not far away from her, Callum and Cade were talking with a few guests.

When someone screamed ‘there’s a bomb’ at the banquet, the crowd went wild and Anna, who wore high heels, was squeezed to one side by the crowd. Her feet were not rooted to the floor, so she was terrified that she could fall at any time.26660

She instinctively called out to her sons, “Son!”

However, Callum and Cade were being squeezed to another side as they desperately moved toward her.

“Mom! MOMMMM!” They shouted loudly, but they were unable to get closer toward her. As they were pushed further away, they could only watch her disappear into the crowd. If she falls and gets trampled, the consequences will be devastating!

“Mom—” At the moment, Callum felt anxious and flustered, but he suddenly saw a figure rushing toward her.

That stalwart and profound figure in the chaotic crowd seemed to be filled with strength as he squeezed through the crowd and quickly disappeared in the sea of people—just like Anna…0

“Son! Aaaah—”

In the crowd, Anna called out for her son as her whole body fell backward. She had no control of her body and there was nothing for her to grab onto. Coupled with the turbulent crowd, she thought that she would be trampled into pieces if she fell backward, but surprisingly, she fell into a pair of warm arms.

It was a powerful hand supporting her.

As soon as she turned, she could see Cooper’s worried looks. At that moment, tears flowed from her eyes like rain. “Cooper…”

Without saying anything, he carried her and entered a room in the State Hotel, which had an emergency elevator inside, instead of following the crowd to the main exit.

She remained in his arms as he ran forward. She then wrapped her arms around his neck and heard his breath and heartbeat. Her heart seemed to start beating in a strange manner. It’s great to have you…

My Dreamy Old Husband Chapter 1285

Cooper did not say a word as he carried Anna into the corridor. After he placed her down for a while, he quickly pressed the elevator button.

“It’s fine. I’ll bring you out of here,” he eventually spoke.

As she sat on the floor, she finally felt a gruesome pain on her foot. When she flipped her dress over, she realized that someone had accidentally stepped on her earlier in the crowd. Now, her entire foot felt painful and numb.

Her face was distorted with pain as it was covered in a film of perspiration.

He examined her foot and murmured, “Don’t worry, we’ll get out of here soon.”

As his face came closer, she could see a trace of blood on his forehead—it was already bleeding.

When he rushed over while carrying her earlier, he had collided with many people on the way, but he could not protect himself since both his arms were holding her. Therefore, he could only brace himself and run forward. He did not even know when he injured his head.

“You’re bleeding!” Anna screamed with unspeakable distress. If it weren’t for me, he wouldn’t have…

However, Cooper’s expression remained calm and indifferent because he was not even concerned about his wound. After the elevator arrived with a ‘ding’ behind him, the door opened and he hurriedly carried her inside. He pushed the button for the garage before the door quickly closed again.

The moment the door closed, she suddenly kissed his lips…

Her kiss carried her tears, which made it soft and salty. As soon as the two lips connected, he seemed to return to 30 years ago when they were still teenagers. During those youthful times, they were carefree and innocent. They foolishly thought that as long as they loved each other deeply, they would spend the rest of their lives together…

Time seemed to stop at that moment where they were the only ones left in the world. Their souls combined into one and they only wanted to stay in that world of theirs forever…

Ding! The door opened, revealing that they were now at the parking lot. Michael and Sophia were already in the car and prepared to leave before the huge crowd arrived. Unexpectedly, they saw Cooper and Anna in the elevator.

The two of them looked like a mess and his head was stained with blood. Her face also looked devastated because of the tears that smudged her makeup on her face.

Upon seeing the blood on Cooper’s face, Sophia could suddenly feel tears swimming in her eyes. “Dad!”

She quickly ran over to him, but he still remained calm. He uttered calmly when Linus came over, “Linus, help your mom.”

Therefore, Linus swiftly took Anna from Cooper. After the heavy burden was lifted from Cooper, his body softened and he almost collapsed on the floor, but luckily, Michael and Sophia were there to support him.

“Cooper!”

“Dad!”

She held onto him while tears flowed out of her eyes.

Michael immediately helped Cooper into the car. After everyone was seated in the car, Michael quickly drove the car away to leave the chaotic place before the crowd rushed down.

In the car, Cooper removed his shoes and realized that he had stepped on an inverted glass earlier and it pierced the sole of his leather shoe. After he took off his shoe, they could see that his sock was soaked in blood.

“Dad. Sobs…”

Sophia was so terrified that she started to cry. When he saw his little sweetheart crying, Cooper hurriedly hugged and comforted her. “It’s fine. It’s just a minor injury.”

Due to the pain, he did not dare to speak in a loud voice, so he could only whisper.

She did not expect something like that to happen. As she stared at his bloody foot, her tears continued to flow.26661

Even though he was comforting her, his eyes were still gazing at Anna.

He looked at her and smiled. She also smiled at him, but it was a teary smile…

Anna could not stop her tears from flowing. I can’t believe he continued to carry me after sustaining such a serious injury.

Cooper suddenly reached out to her, so she placed her hand on his. Instantly, she pounced at him and hugged him while avoiding his wounds. Then, she gave him another long kiss, causing everyone to be startled.

Soon after, they arrived at a hospital and the two victims were sent in to treat their wounds.0

After escaping the building, Callum and Cade immediately called Sophia because they knew that Cooper was the one who saved Anna from the place. As soon as they received the location, they immediately went to the hospital and saw Anna, who was getting her wounds treated.

She had experienced shock, so her face was a little pale and she could not move her feet. Other than that, everything else was fine.

“Mom!” Callum and Cade were overjoyed as they approached her to talk to her.

“I’m fine, all thanks to Cooper.”

Although her face was pale and distorted, it was filled with gentleness when she gazed at Cooper.

He had two wounds on his head and leg, causing him to lose a significant amount of blood. At that moment, he was undergoing a blood transfusion, but his other hand reached out to hold Anna’s hand tightly.

Upon looking at Anna and Cooper’s hands tightly holding each other, Callum felt really relieved inside. This is the first time that she has forgotten her deepest fears to engage with this man after many years. It’s because he is Cooper, the man she has loved for many years… As they hold their hands together, their fate seems to be intertwining too. After this incident, they’ve probably seen through each other and found true love.

Even though Callum was happy for Anna, he still dampened her spirits. “Mom, we should be leaving. He’ll definitely come to find you later on.”

However, she refused to release Cooper’s hand. “You two can head off. Just pretend that you didn’t see me tonight. I’m… not going anywhere tonight.”

Callum was dumbfounded as he glanced at both her and Cooper. After a quick exchange of glances with Cade, they immediately left the hospital, as if their memories of the last 10 minutes were erased from their minds.

At the banquet of the engagement ceremony, Jordan, who was at the back of the venue discussing the details with the emcee, finally noticed that something had happened. He anxiously returned to the scene and saw that everyone was fleeing, but Anna was nowhere to be seen.

“Annie!” he shouted. There was fear and panic everywhere as her lost heel was mixed with the shattered plates. “Annie! Where are you?”

He anxiously looked around for her, but he only found Henry and Ryan hugging each other on the floor with shoe marks on their faces as they grunted. Then, they were carried away.

“Mr. Edwards, please leave immediately!” Someone came to protect Jordan, but he was still anxious and wanted to look for Anna at the scene. In the end, he only found one of her heels.

At that moment, his whole body collapsed.

The bomb squad entered the washroom where the explosion happened, but they realized it was merely a firecracker. Although there was no bomb at all, they still evacuated the whole State Hotel for safety reasons to exclude the possibility of other bombs.

Sure enough, the engagement ceremony was completely ruined.

The escaped guests gathered on the square outside the State Hotel before being transferred in groups. The incident had also alarmed the fire brigade as they entered the scene to check for bombs while there was an ambulance nearby to treat the injured.

“Alice, wake up. Wake up! Don’t go to sleep, okay…”

Upon hearing someone calling her name, Alice regained consciousness and saw Daniel’s worried face.

She then touched her head and felt a bruise.

“What… happened to me?” She was confused.

When Daniel saw her regaining consciousness, he grinned. “You passed out.”

Alice finally remembered that she attended Jordan and Anna’s engagement ceremony. When she heard someone screaming about a bomb, she instinctively tried to leave, but she did not expect to be engulfed by the crowd. In the end, someone pushed her, causing her to fall backward. She seemed to hit her head on something before passing out.

“Daniel!”

Suddenly, she grabbed hold of him.

It was Daniel who carried her out of the scene when she was unconscious.

He hugged her tightly and responded, “It’s fine. Alright—”

Just as he held Alice tightly in his arms, Sam’s voice was suddenly heard.

“Nicole! Nicole! Where are you?”

]]>

My Dreamy Old Husband Chapter 1286

Sam was anxiously looking around for Nicole. Earlier at the banquet, the two of them did not stand together to avoid any rumors being created. After the incident, he was completely pushed out by the crowd, so he could not see her at all.

As soon as he came out of the hotel, he continued to call her phone, but no one answered. Although his assistant had already asked him to leave multiple times due to the possibility of another explosion, he still insisted on searching for Nicole. However, he could not locate her outside the hotel, so he risked everything and returned to the banquet for her.

It was when he lost her in the face of danger that he finally realized that she already had a place deep in his heart. In fact, he had once gotten together with her because of Cooper’s instruction.

Cooper knew that Nicole admired him and he understood that without her, he would never have had the chance to reunite with Sophia. However, he could never bring himself to love a woman other than Annabel. He could not repay Nicole’s favor and her love for him was for nothing. Sam understood his frustration, so he actively approached Nicole. In the end, he started both a relationship and family with her.

Now that he had a family, he supported her so that she would not have to work hard anymore, but he also realized that during their everyday interaction, he seemed to have forgotten about his initial intentions. In his mind, he only wanted to spend the rest of his life with her—not because of what others wanted, but because of her and their child!

Unable to locate her, he started to become anxious, so he continued to call her while ignoring the people telling him not to go inside. Finally, his assistant grabbed him and whispered, “Ms. Walker is already out of the building and she is safe. She just… doesn’t want others to discover about your relationship with her and disturb you…”

For a moment, Sam was startled as he glanced at his assistant in disbelief and saw that she was unconsciously looking somewhere. He looked in that direction and saw Nicole’s sore and panicked face as she was being interviewed by some reporters. She seemed to have suffered a minor injury, but she did her best to calm herself and answer the reporters’ straightforward questions.

When Nicole saw that Sam was about to walk toward her, she gave him a shake of her head from afar, informing him not to come over. She did not want her scandalous past to affect his reputation, but he was now rushing toward her even with the knowledge that their relationship would be exposed.

Upon seeing him approach her, she shook her head again at him with tears in her eyes. However, at the moment, Sam no longer cared about anything because he knew that she was scared and needed him. He wanted to give her a family and an identity as the 9th Madam of the Edwards Family! I also want the whole world to know that I, Sam Edwards, am married to Nicole Walker! Fck those scandals! Fck reputation! All I want now is to hold onto her!

“Ms. Walker, what happened inside?”

“What do you think about this sudden incident? Do you think the sudden timing will affect the continuation of the fashion week?”

“Regarding the recent online rumors about the ominous identity of your secret child’s father, what do you think? Can you tell us who the child’s father is?”

“Do you even know who the father is?”26662

The reporters surrounding Nicole took the chance to ask her burning questions since her assistant and bodyguards were not there. With nowhere to go, she had no choice but to directly face those questions.

Lately, many netizens caught pictures of her with a pregnant belly and there were even rumors circulating that her private life was a mess. In order to gain a higher position, she slept with many celebrities in the movie industry—including Taylor and Ethan, who were the ones that promoted her, giving her the status she had today. She herself did not even know who the child’s father was.

Unfortunately, Nicole and the Imperial Management Studio who supported her did not completely dismiss those rumors as she was undergoing an intense training session after accepting a main female protagonist in a Hollywood blockbuster for her comeback. Therefore, her silence was interpreted by the media as an admission to those rumors. At that moment, the reporters asked more embarrassing and tricky questions right on her face.

“Ms. Walker, are these rumors true? Your private life is so messed up that you don’t even know who the father of your own child is! Please clarify this, Ms. Walker!”

“You have many fans around the globe. Don’t you think they deserve an answer from you?”0

However, Nicole could not hear or see anything else because she only had the approaching man in her eyes. He came toward her with no hesitation, even though he knew that it would be bad for him if everything was exposed. Yet, he still came over without turning back.

Tears blurred her vision and at that moment, she wished she could return to the days when she was 17 years old. I would never have chosen to be a celebrity. Instead, I would always wait for him!

Obviously, the reporters also noticed that Sam was approaching them. The name of the 9th Master of the Edwards Family was a famous one since it was once a step away from having the same power as the president. To this day, the business talent, who owned the Crimson House franchise, was certainly familiar to their ears.

Just as they were about to interview Sam, the most unexpected thing happened—he strode forward and pulled Nicole into his arms without hesitation. He buried her teary face into his chest and used his body to block those frivolous shots focusing on her embarrassing looks. Then, he bellowed, “Nicole’s child is mine. We have already registered our marriage, so we are a legal couple. If these media outlets who falsely accused and insulted her don’t issue a formal apology tonight, I’ll personally arrive at your doorstep and fight for my woman.”

The elites—including the Edwards—who remained at the scene quickly glanced at him. The shutter sounds and camera flashes engulfed the two of them, masking Nicole’s joyful sobs. Actually, he doesn’t need to do this…

However, Sam continued to hold her as she buried her face in his arms. Then, he removed his clothes to cover her head so that the reporters could not take pictures of her embarrassing looks. He was using his own method to protect and love her…

From afar, Lucy gazed at Sam and Nicole, who were surrounded by the crowd, with eyes that were full of shock. I can’t believe Sam actually married a scandalous celebrity like Nicole. As the young master of the Edwards Group, this will definitely draw strong opposition from the Edwards Family because his actions will directly tarnish their reputation. However, at the moment, she was a little envious of him because he was able to openly admit about his marriage with Nicole at the expense of the Edwards Family.

It was because Sam had the backing to say those words. He had built his business from scratch after being alienated from the Edwards Family’s enterprise long ago, so he did not need to be concerned because he had nothing to lose. As for Lucy… she started to take over the family business when she was a teen. It had now been more than ten years and since then, she had devoted her life to the company. If she merely left, she would lose everything.

She swore in her heart as she stared at Dana, who was evacuating the guests, I can only hate myself for not being strong enough! That day… isn’t far away.

My Dreamy Old Husband Chapter 1287

The city tonight was filled with breaking news.

The news of Nicole and Sam’s secret marriage overwhelmed the reports about fashion week—half of the news headlines in Bayside City were about the bombing incident during the fashion week while the other half were about her secret marriage.

Sam knew what he would soon have to face, but he was not afraid of it. The worst case scenario would be him turning his back on the Edwards Family and he did not mind giving up the last name of ‘Edwards’ to replace it with ‘Walker’. For the sake of their child, Nicole, and his family, he had to put up a fight.

Everyone was busy tonight. A lot of things recently happened in the Edwards Family—on one hand, it was the marriage of the head of Edwards Family, Jordan, and on the other hand, there was the exposure of Sam’s secret marriage.

Jordan currently did not have the time to deal with all those matters as he only had Anna in his head. “Annie! Has anyone seen Annie?”

He frantically looked everywhere for her. Unfortunately, there was no sign of her either inside or outside the hall.

Lucy had not left yet—she had been dealing with the aftermath of the incident and watched as the ambulances took the injured guests away.

The Yard brothers were stupefied by the trampling. Their faces were full of shoe prints as they moaned in pain while being carried into the ambulance. Sandra was in a similar situation as well—she was hit on her face when the crowd swarmed in her direction.

Lucy had to keep track of the injured people’s conditions. All the guests who attended Jordan’s engagement were all influential people from wealthy families, politicians, or celebrities. Every single one of them was not an ordinary person. Therefore, she needed to follow up on their conditions and comfort them.

He had not been managing the Edwards Family’s matters in recent years and Sam did not have any intention to intervene with all those as well while Ian, who had been spiritless after the blow of having to undergo a circumcision, lacked the capability to do so. Hence, she was the one managing the Edwards Family’s matters all along. At that moment, Jordan was busy looking for Anna, which resulted in Lucy having to clean up the mess.

She already had her hands full—appeasing the media, comforting the guests, and calculating their losses. After attending two consecutive fashion shows in a day, she now had to deal with that matter without having the chance to have any rest. On top of that, she had been having so many late nights before the fashion week. Therefore, she was so exhausted that she found it hard to keep her eyes open.

What troubled her the most was the fact that it was only the first day of the fashion week and with six more days to go. Today’s incident had scared many guests off, so she had to make sure that everything went well in the subsequent days.

When she was exhausted to the point where she struggled to keep her eyes open, she raised her head and saw Dana, who was not far away.

Lucy found that no matter when she glanced at her, the latter would always pretend that she happened to be about 10 meters away and did not know her.

Just like that, Dana had protected and accompanied Lucy in secret.

Tonight, Lucy’s nominal fiancée was at the scene as well. However, as soon as the explosion occurred, he fled without leaving any trace. Hmmm… That’s another reason to get rid of him.

After that, the Edwards Family would choose another fiancée for her and she would approach that person, attract his attention, and pretend to fall in love with him.

She could not stop; she had to feign that she was actively searching for a fiancée to prevent the Edwards Family from discovering her relationship with Dana.

Although the Winston and Edwards Family had matching family backgrounds and Dana’s father was the most authoritative elder in the former besides Harry, the outsiders still knew Dana as a young lady of the Winston Family despite her having a frivolous character!

However, she was not a lady—she was a man and had been since young. She had a man’s sense of responsibility, a man’s courage, and a man’s masculinity. In fact, she was way better than any other man—she had never been a woman!

…

Jordan ignored the chaotic situation before him; all he had in mind was Anna.

He found Callum and Cade, who told him that they had not seen her since they were separated by the crowd.

Nobody had seen Anna.

Jordan ran into the security room to find her through the surveillance tape. Unfortunately, there were blind spots that were not caught on camera. The recordings only captured the part where Anna and Callum were separated by the flow of the crowd and could not locate where she had been brought to. Where has she gone?

All of a sudden, a name crossed his mind—Cooper.

As he did not have Cooper’s contact number, he directly called Tiffany while getting his men to search for the area where Michael and the others had gone.

She had left the scene, but she was still in shock. “Jordan, why are you looking for me?”

Jordan immediately uttered, “Cooper and Anna have disappeared together! I want to know where he is!”26663

Tiffany was shocked. “What? Cooper and Anna have disappeared? What were you doing when you were supposed to keep an eye on your wife?”

Bailey, who was resting his eyes next to Tiffany, abruptly opened his eyes, feigning disinterest, but in fact was eavesdropping on their conversation.

“Okay, okay. I’ll notify you when I get an update.”

After exchanging some words, she hung up on the call while feeling edgy. “Damn it, where the hell did Cooper go?”

An anxious Tiffany repeatedly gave Cooper a ring, but he had switched his phone off after that incident. They did not return to the Imperial or the Edwards Residence at Riverdale, so she had no idea where he went.0

Bailey, who was beside her, suddenly said, “Michael opened a private hospital with a good surgical department. You can try to ask there.”

Before he dealt with anyone, he would always investigate the person’s background in advance. In addition to retail, Michael had a few private hospitals under his company, Asco International, and the nearest one was just around the corner.

Tiffany immediately went to the hospital. Sure enough, she saw Michel and Mitchell’s family’s vehicles coming in and out of the building.

She intended to head in to look for Cooper, but when she thought of him being together with Anna, she felt really upset. Also, he would not allow her to enter as well.

After some contemplation, she dialed Jordan’s number.

Soon, his car arrived at the hospital and he actually brought along with him a number of people.

Tiffany parked her car at a hidden spot opposite the hospital, secretly watching everything that happened in front of the hospital.

Jordan came in an aggressive aura—he could not bear to see Anna and Cooper together!

Upon seeing the people from the Edwards Family appearing with ferocity, many bodyguards, from both the Mitchell and Michel’s Families, soon exited the hospital.

Without saying a word, he immediately ordered his men to barge in.

“Mr. Edwards, what are you doing?”

Linus and Sophia suddenly appeared at the lobby behind all of the bodyguards and Michael stood next to her.

Jordan wore a cold expression. “I’m here to pick up my fiancée.”

Sophia pretended to be confused. “Fiancée? Mr. Edwards, shouldn’t you be watching after your own fiancée? Why would she be here?”

He refused to beat around the bush. “Move to the side. I know that Anna is here.”

Upon hearing that, her expression turned cold. “That’s too bad; my father is injured and he has taken his rest. Please don’t behave presumptuously here. We haven’t seen your fiancée either.” She took a step back into the realm of the bodyguards’ protection.

The people from the Michel and Mitchell’s Families formed a human wall, blocking Jordan’s people from entering. As they were at the hospital, the place was equipped with all necessary facilities—except guns—to prevent people from causing trouble.

The human wall was impenetrable, preventing Jordan from entering. This situation further affirms that Anna is here!

My Dreamy Old Husband Chapter 1288

Jordan radiated a cold aura when he fiercely glared at the direction where Sophia and Linus were leaving. “Alright, I’ll be waiting here!”

The people of the Edwards Family surrounded the hospital from outside, guarding all the entrances and exits of the hospital and ensuring that their besiegement was impenetrable.

In the ward, Anna knew that Jordan had arrived, but she was reluctant to leave. I’m not going anywhere today since I belong to Cooper.

She threw herself into Cooper’s arms without any reluctance or regret and indulged herself in his warmth and presence tonight. Sinking deep in his embrace on the bed, his guidance led her to drop all of her vigilance and wariness to become one with him as she enjoyed the unprecedented pleasure of lovemaking.

When her pleasure climaxed, all that was left in her mind was nothing but splendor. She felt the kind of love and warmth that she had never felt before and felt good to be a human for the first time in her life…

Since it was late at night, Sophia, who had stayed in the hospital to look after Cooper, did not dare to leave. However, his room had been locked, preventing anyone from entering.

She slept in the neighboring ward for the night while Michael and Linus took their turns to rest while being vigilant of Jordan’s people—in the event that they suddenly rushed in.

There were a few vehicles parked at the entrance and his men had been guarding outside the hospital. They guarded all entrances and exits; they were determined to wait there until they found Anna.

Tiffany parked her car outside the door to watch the situation as well.

She waited until midnight and finally could not wait any longer. She then stood at the entrance gorgeously, attempting to slip past the crowd to visit Cooper.

However, she was stopped outside the entrance—she was even not allowed to visit him, which obviously made the situation seem fishy! Anna must be in the hospital then!

It was now midnight, but Jordan did not head to sleep. He kept loitering around the entrance, waiting for Anna to appear. At that moment, he seemed to have the most sensitive sense of smell in the world and picked up on the fragrance that she had left there. I’m sure that she must be here.

Representatives from both parties were in a standoff throughout the night and soon enough, it was daybreak.

After pacing back and forth for the whole night, Jordan’s eyes had reddened, but he still raised his head and looked in the direction of the hospital ward.

The sun rose later in winter and it was the first time in Anna’s life to wake up after a full sleep. She had slept well without any signs of insomnia or nightmares; it brought peace to her mind, as if there was an unprecedented sense of security that shrouded her with the feeling of never being that comfortable for the past 30 years.

She woke up in Cooper’s embrace, raising her eyes and looking at him. His sharply-defined features still looked enticing even after many years had passed.

Cooper had already woken up a long time ago, but he did not rise to his full height; he merely stared at her asleep and feeling content. I never thought that in this life, I would still be able to embrace the love of my life.

“Morning.” Anna pecked him on his lips while carefully avoiding his injury.

“Good morning.” His leg was injured, but he was reluctant to get up. With her in his arms, it was as if their hearts were glued together through thin layers of flesh.

After the floodgate of love was opened overnight, their love, which they held back for 30 years, went out of control like a raging flood.

At that instant, all they wanted was to tightly hold each other and cherish every second that they had together.

Unfortunately, they still had to separate from each other. Since their time had yet to come, they were unable to be together. Soon, Sophia’s voice was heard from outside the door. “Dad, it’s almost time for Mrs. Yard to leave. Everything is ready at Callum’s side as well.”

The two people, who were in each other’s embraces, pretended not to hear her voice. After a few seconds, Anna reluctantly uttered, “I have to go.”

Cooper planted a kiss on her black hair. “Okay, please be careful.”

Although they were unwilling to do so, they had to temporarily part from each other.26664

She got out of bed, wore her clothes, and tidied herself before opening the door.

When the door was suddenly pulled open, Sophia, who had her ear glued on the door, stumbled into the ward.

As a result, all three of them were rendered speechless.

She awkwardly chuckled and fled the scene with her tail between her legs.

Anna left with her as well.0

Although Jordan was guarding the entrance, the place was Michael’s territory and it was impossible not to have a secret exit. Sophia was now guiding Anna to leave through that exact route.

She furtively peeked at Anna and noticed that the latter’s face was flushed red while it shone in a glow that she had never seen before. It was as if Anna had changed into a different person. Looks like they had a wonderful night together…

Sophia felt troubled as she did not know how to face her mother, so she acted indifferently. She led Anna to the secret exit and said, “Head into the car. Someone will pick you up after a while.”

Anna smiled. “I will take care of myself.” She then got on an electric bike and traveled in the carpark for a few minutes. When it came to a stop, she was then led to a door. Then, she pushed open the door and took a few steps before the view suddenly became clear—she had arrived at a subway station.

In the ward, Cooper felt empty after sending her off, as if someone had dug a hole in his heart.

After Sophia sent Anna off, she returned and sat opposite him while staring at him in the silence. Hehe! As expected from my dad! He sure is impressive! He managed to get her in his bed at such speed!

Sophia’s stare made Cooper embarrassed. He then stroked her hair and uttered, “Darling, we should have our breakfast.”

Linus, who had asked for their breakfast to be served in the ward, helped Cooper up as he took his meal.

The family of three quietly ate. Sophia had to head to the venue of the fashion week after breakfast because JNS Group had two more fashion shows to host. She had to be at the scene to supervise everything.

She gobbled up the food. As the millet porridge was still hot, she perspired a lot while eating it.

“Darling, why don’t you eat slower?” Cooper asked.

While looking at his two children, his eyes twinkled with amazement. They are Annabel’s children—the products of our love and the babies that we had together! The more I look at my babies, the more I find them adorable! They look like two cute piglets when they are eating—one seems quieter while the other seems livelier. I hope that we can have another two similar piglets—no, I can accept having as many as I can…

Sophia loudly ate her breakfast, totally unaware of Cooper’s intent and fatherly stare, while the same stare numbed Linus. He thought, What’s wrong with Cooper today? Maybe Anna has reminded him of the past?

After having breakfast, Cooper sat on the bed. Medicine had been applied on the injury on his leg, so his movements were restricted. “Invite the guests outside in and let’s have a meeting with them,” he said to Linus.

Linus nodded and their people at the entrance retreated a while later. After that, Jordan entered with an aggressive aura while Tiffany poked her head into the room before entering.

Upon seeing Cooper in the ward, she was shocked. “Oh, my God! Fass! You are injured!”

He replied, “It’s nothing. Just some superficial injuries and a little concussion.”

The moment Jordan came in, he looked around to look for Anna. He had asked his men to guard all the entrances and exits of the hospital and carefully checked every single person who entered and exited the premise, but she was nowhere to be found. No, I know that Anna must have been here last night—this room is filled with her scent and I can sense her breath in the air. She must have been here!

My Dreamy Old Husband Chapter 1289

Linus, who was standing on one side, impatiently uttered to Jordan, “Anna really isn’t here…”

Jordan glanced at Cooper, who was on the bed and raising his head to look at the former. They exchanged menacing glares with each other—one was as steady as rock while the other as fiery as a volcano, causing invisible sparks to flicker in the air.

“Jordan, who are you looking for?” Cooper knowingly asked.

Jordan’s phone suddenly rang at that moment. He answered the call and immediately heard Callum’s anxious voice. “Father, we found Mother in Laguna Hospital. She sprained her ankle and it seems quite severe!”

After hanging up on the call, he gave Cooper a vicious glare before turning to leave. He then drove to a hospital, which was located 5km away and close to the State Hotel.

“Annie!” He pushed the door to the ward open and immediately found Anna lying on the bed with a pale face and bandaged ankle; it seemed like she was in a bad condition.

“Oh, Annie!” He anxiously approached her to check on her injuries. Fortunately, she only had a few minor abrasions and a sprained ankle with medicine having been applied on all her injuries.

Anna said, “I was sent to this hospital by someone and I lost my phone.”

Jordan did not seem to suspect anything, but only God would know whether he bought her explanation.

He left in a hurry after paying her a visit. As the head of the Edwards Family, he had many things to deal with after the incident last night.

“Send Mrs. Yard back to the ancestral home.” He instructed someone beside him before leaving.

The ancestral home he meant was, in fact, the Edwards’ ancestral home.

His action meant that she had been officially accepted as the matriarch of the Edwards Family, which would then greatly impact both the Yard and Edwards Families.

Upon seeing that Jordan had left and there were no outsiders in the ward, Callum worriedly asked, “Mom, are you really going to the Edwards’ ancestral home?”

Anna’s expression fell. “Since he wants me to go there, I will do so.” What is he trying to do? Feeling me out? Or, is there any other purpose?

Callum unintentionally noticed a hickey hidden under her clothes—it seemed like a bruise, but… there were quite many of them!

She used to fear men—even Jordan was forbidden from getting close to her, but now it seemed like she had found the love of her life. No, that person had always been her beloved, but he had been stolen from her.

A lot of things had happened over the night.

The Edwards Family was in a complete mess—firstly, there was Jordan’s sudden engagement followed by the exposure of Sam’s secret marriages. The combined ages of those two big shots could be totaled up to a century, but their wayward behaviors had managed to turn the world upside down, causing their family to be in hell.

In contrast, the Fletcher Family was overjoyed because of what someone said—‘Stan is dating someone!’

The children of the Fletcher Family ran around the yard, delivering the great news to everyone. Everyone in the family was delighted to learn about it. The fact that he was dating someone became a topic that all of them discussed whenever they met one another.

The number one bachelor of the Fletcher Family—the gigantic baby who was never in a relationship despite being almost 30 years old—was finally dating someone!

It felt as if the hog that they had reared for years finally learned how to graze flowers!

“Stan did not return home yesterday night!”

“He went out with a girl!”

“Sean told us himself, so it must be true!”26665

“What? Is the adopted child really his biological child?”

…

Stanley, who had played games for the entire night, exited the cybercafé with two dark circles. After he bade goodbye to Christine, he returned to the house that he shared with Sean, washed his face, and went to lie on the bed, looking as though he had spent his whole night with a lady under the sheets. I think I am getting old. I’m now almost 30 years old, so I can’t act perversely like how I used to. I used to be able to energetically head to class after playing games for the whole night, but now I can’t—I feel weakened after a few rounds of games.

After Stanley went home, he threw himself on the bed and started to catch up on his sleep.

He had given his all in an attempt to convince her to promote his cybercafé on Twitter.0

When Stanley thought about it, Christine was a celebrity with a few millions fans, which mostly consisted of gamers. If she helped him to advertise his cybercafé, the conversion rate from her fans would be high. According to the normal business procedure, he had to spend a five to six-figure advertising fee to place advertisements on Twitter, but he only spent a night playing games with her and treated her to a piece of bread with a can of coke—all for the total cost of only 6! I used 6 to do something that usually cost five to six figures! I’ve saved loads of money!

Other people played business card games, but he played ‘business games’. No, I won’t admit that it was because Christine has good skills and she aroused my fighting spirit, causing me to unknowingly play with her throughout the night. I was working—and really hard at it last night.

The company had recently branched out of the technology sector and established Dragon Technology. Cooper joined the company and was in charge of the shares while Stanley and Sean continued to focus on game development and game merchandise. To fulfill his own dream, Stanley even opened a large cybercafé, so he had spent a lot of money lately.

The cybercafé had more than 20,000 computers equipped with top configurations to provide the most comfortable experience for its users. Therefore, the world’s largest cybercafé was established using money!

Upon listening to the most recent financial report, Sean furrowed his brows. Recently, we have had to save as much money as possible; every penny counts…

“Sean, I’m not heading to the office today. Stand in for me; I have to catch up on some sleep.”

Stanley took a shower and lay on the bed to sleep, holding a cat in his arms to use it as his bolster.

With a thud, Maisie ran over and tugged him. “Papa, is it true that you went on a date last night?”

He mumbled, “Go away. A kid like you knows nothing. Let me sleep for a while and I will play with you later.”

“Okay,” Sean responded to Stanley before wearing his clothes and preparing to head to work like usual. I have to deal with company matters and watch a fashion show tomorrow.

The sleepy Stanley did not see Sean’s desolate expression.

As expected, he didn’t return home last night. Sean knew where Stanley went and did not hide the truth from the Fletcher Family when they came to ask.

Everyone from the Fletcher Family was overjoyed. Even if Stanley was only meeting a live streaming host and actor, they were satisfied as long as the person was a woman. Stanley will eventually take the right path, get married, and have kids.

“Maisie, I’m going to work. Be a good girl and get along well with Carmen, Hope and Poppy in the kindergarten. I’ll take you out to have some fun tomorrow!” Sean could not help but hug Maisie before leaving.

Maisie seemed to have noticed something—although Sean still looked the same, his eyes seemed to be filled with desolation.

Although she was at a tender age of three, she had experienced many tough situations in life. She was kidnapped from her parents and brought to Ronney City as a merchandise, where Sophia eventually brought her home and placed her under Sean’s care. As the young child was beaten a lot, she was a sensitive child since young and especially good at reading people’s body language.

Even though she now had two fathers who treated her well, she was still a considerate child and one who was more sensible than her peers. While looking at him, she held his hand and asked, “Daddy, Papa is dating someone. Does this mean that he doesn’t want us anymore?”

Her words seemed to give a huge blow to Sean’s heart. If Stanley is in a relationship, he will surely have his own family and children soon and it won’t be suitable for Maisie to follow him since it can be inconvenient for him… Similarly, if he gets married, it won’t be convenient for him to continue to stay with me…

My Dreamy Old Husband Chapter 1290

Sean patiently explained to her, “When your Papa is in a relationship, you will have a mommy to love you and maybe you will have many little brothers and little sisters! Won’t you be happy, Maisie?”

Maisie finally smiled and replied, “Are we still going to stay together then?”

He forced a smile on his face. “Of course.”

Only then did she feel relieved to head to the kindergarten. She also hugged Judge as her way of saying goodbye.

As a matter of fact, she seemed to understand that Stanley, who was now in a relationship, would soon form his own family and have his own kids. So, it was a matter of time before he would leave Sean and her.

However, she still feigned happiness as she knew that he was upset. If she was upset, he would feel even more depressed. Therefore, she had to be elated to make him happy.
