Chapter 311
Coop’s image was depicted on the papers. In an era of economic hardship, a person who knew
photography, could afford to purchase an advanced and pricey camera, and would often visit the high-
end restaurant where Annabel worked—those signs illustrated that he was wealthy. Judging from his
nice handwriting, he didn’t seem like the son of a nouveau riche, so he might have been born in a family
of schrs.
It was obvious that he was a patient and gentle man. From Annabel’s diary, Sophia was able to tell that
the former lived in happiness when she used simple words to describe every minute detail of her
rtionship with him.
Under his guidance, she had made fewer spelling errors while her handwriting became cleaner and
sharper, bing more simr to his. Although her handwriting didn’t seem as energetic as his, it
gradually took the appearance of his handwriting. Therefore, it was obvious that she had been trying
hard to improve.
It piqued Sophia’s curiosity about him.
Coop… That sounds like a middle-aged man. He was also a highly-intelligent middle-aged man who
has two doctorate degrees. He was amazing! A rather wealthy and gentle middle-aged man should
have been totally irresistible for Annabel at that time!
She then turned to another page and the words written on it was ‘Coop is 18 years old today!’ 18 years
old? He received two doctorate degrees at the age of 18? Who on earth is this Coop? She scratched her
head in disbelief.
Coop kept appearing in Annabel’s diary; it was obvious that she was living a happy life with him.
Unfortunately, Sophia had already known about the ending—those two were unable to be together in the
end. She felt a sudden sorrow and continued to flip to the next page with a heavy heart.
Sure enough, after a few pages, the diary stated, ‘Coop’s family came to look for me today. They said
that I’m unworthy to be with him because his future wife must be a youngdy from a good family. Coop,
what should I do?’
There were a few spelling errors in the sentence, but the handwriting that would patiently amend her
mistakes never appeared again.
There were quite a number of nk pages. Annabel might have been threatened by Coop’s family and
was separated from him for various reasons. Feeling devastated, she had lost the mood to pen her
thoughts in her diary—or perhaps it was because the person who urged her to do so never showed up
again.
Sophia then turned a few more pages. Annabel seemed to have collected herself and started her new
life, which was also the beginning of her nightmare. ‘It’s rather nice to stay in the Edwards residence and
they pay well too. My brother needs the money to study, so I have to work hard to pay for his school
fees.’
On the next page, Annabel’s handwriting started to tremble. ‘I was raped by Mr. Edwards today. Coop,
what should I do? Coop, where are you? Can you quicklye and save me?’
Probably because it was her mother’s diary, Sophia was in grief and indignation.
As expected, my mother was never willingly in a rtionship with Joe, that ugly and fat b*stard! She was
actually raped! My mother had never been a slut who desired to be part of the rich and wealthy!
N?velD(ram)a.?rg owns this content.
On the next page, Annabel wrote, ‘I spoke to my father on the phone today. He doesn’t allow me to head
home because the wage here is exceptionally high. Coop, what should I do? Can youe to save me?’
The handwriting at the end contained her usual crooked style—the twisted handwriting and utterly
illogical sentences strongly indicated that she might have written those in a sorrowful and indignant yet
helpless state.
The truth of that incident years ago was finally revealed. Annabel left Coop because she was threatened
by his family. To avoid them, she became a nanny in the Edwards residence where she was then raped
by Joe! She was helpless and had no one to assist her. Coop had left her and Joe had even confined
her. When she finally had the chance to call home to ask for help, not only did her family refuse to save
her from the fire, but they even thought that she had received an opportunity to be rich by being a
mistress to a wealthy businessman. Therefore, they asked her to continue to live at the Edwards
residence!
The fingers on the notebook trembled and her nails tore a yellowish paper in extreme anger.
Sophia continued to flip to the next page. There was little content on the following pages—only Annabel’s
scribbles, which repeated the old poem over and over again. If the city generals were present, the
barbarians’ horses would never have crossed the mountains.
In thest entry on the diary, the handwriting was messy, revealing the writer’s copsing emotional state
of the writer. ‘My belly is bing bigger. I’m really scared that madam would find out. Oh my God, what
should I do? Coop, where are you? Coop, I really missed you.’
The diary came to an end after that entry. It might have been because Annabel’s pregnancy with Sophia
started to show and was finally discovered by Joe’swful wife. Thetter then drove Annabel out from
the residence.
Annabel was helplessly driven out of the Edwards residence with a big belly. She couldn’t or dared not
look for Coop, so she had to return home to Riverdale on her own.
It wasn’t difficult to imagine her life after she returned home. Rumors would have been spread like
wildfire that an unmarried 18-year-old youngdy was pregnant without a man by her side.
B*tch, whore, a loser… Haha.
Her family had nned to wait for her to deliver to the child and take the child to make a scene at the
Edwards residence. However, the child had unexpectedly turned out to be a girl—Sophia Edwards.
Her uncle then brought her as an infant to the Edwards residence to find fault before returning home with
a gloomy expression, which might have suggested that his n had failed.
When Sophia closed the diary, she suddenly realized that tears were streaming down her cheeks. She
cried for her mother’s tragic fate as well as for herself.
Nobody knew how helpless and desperate Annabel was.
Nobody understood the grief and indignation that she currently felt—she turned out to be a product of her
mother and a rapist!
She was a child unwanted by the world; a child born without parents!
Her life had actually been given by a rapist. She was conceived in Annabel’s despair and helplessness
and delivered from her death.
All of a sudden, Sophia had a delusional thought. My biological father might have been Coop!
Unfortunately, when she perused the diary once more, she noticed that Annabel had left in around
December and delivered to her in mid-October the next year. Therefore, it would be impossible for Coop
to be her biological father!
Sophia closed the notebook with a thud and kept it in the drawer.
When Nathan saw her having a dark expression after she finished reading the diary, he did not dare to
say anything.
Michael returned homete, so she fell asleep alone.
It was 12AM when he finally returned home.
Hale had already informed him about what happened earlier in the day. Nathan, who was still awake,
had waited for him to return home to report on today’s incident as well. For instance, how she cried after
reading the diary and did not speak for a long time.
What exactly is written in the diary?
Michael entered the room and found that Sophia was sound asleep. Without disturbing her, he brought a
ss of milk into her study before retrieving the yellowish diary from the drawers.
As he drank the milk, he flipped open the diary’s cover page before a passage entered his sight. If the
city generals were present, the barbarians’ horses would never have crossed the mountains.
The handwriting was frightening, resembling a troop of army marching in a line while radiating a sharp
and vicious aura…
He flipped open the diary with a frown and read it with all his concentration. After reading it, he was able
to guess the reason why Sophia was furious.
e then read the whole diary again and stared at the handwriting in a daze.
This handwriting and this qualification… 20 years ago, an 18-year-old young man received two doctorate
degrees and he’s from a reputable family from Bayside City… Any family with a child who manages to
get two doctorate degrees at a young age of 18 would definitely announce it to the whole world…
Coop’s identity would be revealed in a matter of time!
