Chapter 391
Meanwhile, Mark was happily ying a game of chess with Natasha. The reason he was happy was
definitely not because he got to y chess with her. Instead, it was because Stanley was spending time
with Sophia at that moment.
Cooper’s daughter will finally be part of the Fletchers! Woody was old and the Mitchell family was
unreliable. If Sophia married into the Fletcher family, she would have a ce to live in the future. Even
after I die, at least Stanley and the Fletchers will be able to protect her.
He was already fond of Sophia in the first ce and Stanley had already expressed his liking as well.
Mark had intended to get the two of them together and now that he found out Sophia was Cooper’s
daughter, it all seemed perfect! Besides, he felt rest assured to let Stanley take care of Sophia.
However, if Mark ever found out that Stanley was spending his time with Sophia by dragging her to his
house and ying games, he would probably cough up blood in anger.
Truth be told, Mark didn’t like to y chess with Natasha. She went easy on him that day as usual so
he wasn’t excited to y at all. After a short while, he easily won and Natasha pretended to exim in
shock, “Old Master Fletcher, you won again! Your skills have not deteriorated with age. I can only wish
I was as good as you.”
Mark chuckled insincerely and replied, “Yes, you’re right.”
At the end of the day, Natasha was too young and na?ve. Even if she wanted to pretend, the look of
admiration should be reflected in her eyes. Mark, who had been around for almost a hundred years,
could tell she was acting at a nce. In short, he didn’t like Natasha.
As for Natasha, she patiently yed a few games of chess with Mark and let him win easily every time,
all the while thinking she was making him happy. After a few rounds, she started to reveal her cunning
side.
As she yed, she casually asked, “Old Master Fletcher, I heard that Uncle Cooper came to visit you ten
years ago and gave you something. Do you remember what it was?”
Something from Cooper? Hmph! I knew that she had a purpose to her visit.
Mark thought about it for a while before he scratched his head and said, “Oh, how can an old man like
me remember something that happened ten years ago? Didn’t Coop pass away twenty years back? How
is it possible that he paid me a visit ten years ago?”
Useless old man! Natasha thought but she wasn’t willing to give up. Perhaps he’ll remember if I give him
a hint. She hurriedly asked, “I’m talking about your godson, Cooper! I’m sure you remember thest time
he came over to visit!”
Mark said straightforwardly, “Cooper? Who’s that? Doesn’t ring a bell at all!”
Hearing this, Natasha’s insides itched with hatred. She wouldn’t bother talking to these old men if she
had a choice. These old people should’ve gone to hell a long time ago. They are stupid and silly but they
just won’t die. His hands even tremble when he’s ying chess.
What’s the point to being alive? He’s just like that idiot, Woody. He can’t even tell the difference between
a cat and a human and is even treating a cat as his son!
Woody was indeed holding the cat as if it was his son. Everything was going well and he didn’t realize
that he had been holding a cat instead of a child for the whole day. However, when it was time for dinner,
the cat got hungry so it jumped out of Woody’s arms and ran toward the house. “Coop, where are you
going? Coop, wait for daddy!”
‘Cooper’ ran away and disappeared in a blink of an eye. Bursting into tears, Woody was so anxious and
upset that he stomped his feet and banged his crutches on the ground. Mark reassured, “Oh, dear old
man, your son went to have dinner. He’ll be back once he’s done.
Just wait for a moment.” He hurriedly called his bodyguards to help Woody stand. With tears and snot
streaming down Woody’s face, he sobbed and said, “Coop left. He left. He’s noting back.”
Mark hurriedly said, “Don’t worry; he’ll be back. Look, I’ll give him a call and he’ll be back soon.”
With that, Mark quickly made a call to Sean and asked him to pretend to be Cooper for a moment.
Looking at the mess on Woody’s face, Natasha felt utterly embarrassed and couldn’t hide the disgust on
her face as she frowned.
It wasn’t long before Sean arrived. He was still wearing the suit he put on for the business meeting and
looked elegant. Sean walked over worriedly and quickly held onto Woody, who was still throwing a
tantrum. “Dad, I’m back!”
Upon ncing at Sean, Woody waved his hand and continued wailing. “You’re not Coop! Coop, where
are you? Pleasee back!” At that moment, Woody acted like a spoiled child and no matter what they
did, they couldn’t stop him from crying. He kept crying and begging to see his son. Later, Stanley brought
a fat orange cat over and said, “He’s here! Cooper is here!”
Woody took a look and denied, “That’s not my son! That is not my son! I want Coop! Where did you go,
Coop?” Woody was having a full blown episode and he wouldn’t stop no matter who came over to
comfort him. Mark went over to coax him but Woody unexpectedly pushed him away viciously. If it
weren’t for his bodyguard who stopped him from falling, Mark would’ve fractured his bones from the fall.
Seeing this, Natasha waspletely dumbfounded. She never thought Woody would have an episode
at a time like this. If Mark fell and was severely wounded, the whole Mitchell family would be in danger!
She beckoned her bodyguard over to hold Woody still, albeit roughly. Then, she turned to Mark and
apologetically said, “I’m sorry, Old Master Fletcher. My grandfather is having an episode today. I’ll take
him home now.” However, Natasha couldn’t hide the disgust on her face.
Mark knew that if he allowed Natasha to take away Woody just like that, Woody might have to face some
punishment after they got home so he hurriedly said, “I’m fine. I’m already used to your grandfather’s
illness anyway!”
Sean silently took Woody from Natasha’s bodyguard and sat him down. He knew that Woody always had
medicine in his bag at all times in order to prevent him from messing around when he was having an
episode.
Thus, he pulled out Woody’s medicine while Stanley seemed to be used to these situations as he
hurriedly brought a ss of water to give Woody his medicine.
Sean stroked Woody’s back to calm him down and tried to coax him, “Old Master Mitchell, your son will
be back soon. Don’t be so anxious!” However, Woody was really emotional and he kept crying and
babbling.

Then, he knocked over the ss of water that Stanley brought over. “I don’t want medicine. I want Coop!
I want my son! Where did you send my son?”
Seeing this, Sean started to panic. Having no other choice, he decided to bring Woody home. “Old
Master Mitchell, let’s go back home. Perhaps Uncle Cooper already went back home! Come, let’s head
home!”
However, Woody was not willing to leave. He sobbed and muttered, “I want Coop! Coop, where did you
go?” Everyone was anxious and Natasha just wanted to leave. Initially, she was nning to ask Mark for
clues but Woody’s sudden episode ruined everything. Bringing this silly old man here was the worst
decision ever.
Natasha took a step forward and was prepared to ask her bodyguard to forcefully drag Woody back
home. All of a sudden, they heard a bubbly female voice from behind them. “Dad, what’s the matter?”
As soon as Woody heard this voice, the old man who was crying bitterly a moment ago instantly broke
into a smile. “Son, where did you go? I was looking everywhere for you!”
Everybody turned around and saw that Sophia was rushing over. Then, she gently pulled out a tissue
and wiped Woody’s face. It was Sean who didn’t allow Sophia to leave the house because he was afraid
that she would have a conflict with Natasha.
However, when Sophia saw Woody have an episode and wouldn’t stop crying like a helpless child, she
couldn’t bear to ignore him. After all, Woody was her grandfather!
