Chapter 763
The kinds of dramas that she watched were ‘Temptations of Home’, ‘The Woman Who Married Tom
Davis’ and ‘Don’t Cry, Stepmother’. Although the titles were buzzwords, she still watched them with
relish.
Those dramas, which were broadcasted in high-definition, were from the DVDs that Carmen brought
from her home to lend to Sophia.
It had been produced many years ago, which exined why the videos obtained from online sources
and its footages were of an extremely poor quality—to the point where the alphabets were blurry. In
contrast, the DVDs in Carmen’s house were well-kept.
The DVDs were in an outdated format and required the use of a DVD yer to y the videos.
Therefore, Cooper specifically searched for a DVD yer and connected it to the projector so that
Sophia could watch it through a home theater system in their living room.
The DVDs could basically be referred to as antiques since each one only contained one episode.
Those types of DVD were practically obsolete in the market, so it was unexpected that Carmen would
have some well-kept ones in her house, let alone that sort of shows.
Carmen would bring a few episodes for Sophia on her daily visits and carefully kept it away at home.
Once Sophia had watched them, Carmen would bring another set of episodes the next day.
When Sophia asked Carmen who the owner of the collections was, thetter replied, “These are
mommy’s babies!”
Babies… Speaking of which, isn’t her father one half of the gay couple? She actually has a mother? Isn’t
that a fraudulent marriage?
“Where is your mommy? Why haven’t I seen hering over to y?”
After she had undergone vocal cord surgery, she had made a full recovery and her voice was much
better than before. However, traces and charms of her old self would still be noticeable to those who
listened to her carefully.
Carmen answered, “Daddy said that Mommy is a fairy. Fairies and mortals cannot fall in love with each
other, so she has gone to heaven to be a fairy and will return in a few years.” She even proudly added.
“Mommy turns into a star every night to secretly visit me.”
She turns into a star… Sophia seemed to have a sudden realization. She’s an abandoned child, so she
doesn’t have a mother… This is such a beautiful white lie…
She involuntarily stroked Carmen’s head as she pulled the young child into her arms. “Darling, your
mommy must be watching over you from the sky. You must listen to your daddy.”
Carmen brought Sophia a few DVDs every day, but that meant thetter could only watch three episodes
daily. The drama would always stop at the most exciting part, which would leave her on edge.
On top of that, Carmen was still young, so she often brought the wrong DVD, which made Sophia even
more anxious.
She took the opportunity and asked, “Carmen, can you bring the whole set to me? I’ll make a copy
before returning them to you.”
Carmen agreed and returned home to carry an entire set of DVDs over to Sophia. As those cliché
dramas usually had dozens of episodes, an entire set of DVDs could fill up arge box. Fortunately,
Nichs came with the function to move things after an upgrade and was able to help her to carry the
box.
When the DVDs arrived, Cooper slowly copied its contents into theputer.
He initially refused to do so when he saw the drama titles.
Since those DVDS were manufactured years ago, it would blur when it was projected onto their home
theatre—even in high definition. Therefore, he took the initiative to repair and restore them, attempting to
maximize the rity of those videos.
When it involved Sophia, Cooper would treat it seriously, no matter how insignificant the matter was. With
his utmost seriousness, he tried his best to repair those old videos that had been kept for many years.
Tsk, Michael’s taste is damn vulgar! As expected, he is not a good match for my daughter! A man with a
poor rating and negative score! He should just get lost!
Carmen was nervously watching Cooper from the side. Whenever he finished copying a DVD, she would
quickly take it back and carefully keep them in the box. She even uttered, “Mr. Cooper, you need to be
careful. These are Mommy’s favourite DVDs! She would be saddened if it breaks! If she is sad, she will
not return from the heavens!”
He was stunned by her words. It turns out that these are Sophia’s taste. Hmm, elegance and vulgarity
have traits to be admired by everyone. Great vulgarity is the same as great elegance! This is expected
from my daughter—she’s really unique!
As Sophia watched him sitting in front of theputer to slowly repair the video quality of the DVDs, she
felt curious. “Dad, please let me try!”
After watching for a while, she felt that she more or less understood how it worked, so she was tempted
to give it a shot herself.
As a matter of fact, it was not particrly difficult since she only needed to use the software to repair the
videos.
Cooper allowed her to take his seat so that she could sit down and repair the quality on her own while he
stood beside her to teach. As expected from my daughter—she’s so intelligent that she can learn
anything quickly.
Nichs unexpectedly entered the room to notify them that they had a guest after they had repaired a
few episodes.
Cooper nced at the surveince tape and noticed that Michael was standing at their door. Why is
Michael here again?
He left Sophia to continue learning on her own before he went to open the door.
The moment he opened the door, Michael asked with a deadpan expression, “My DVDs are here with
you, right?”
It turned out that he came for his DVDs.
Since they were done with copying the DVDs, Cooper returned them to him. Michael then returned home
while carrying a box of DVDs in his arms.
It so happened that it was sunset, so it was time for Carmen to return home as well. After she said
goodbye to Cooper, she returned home with Michael.
While they were enroute home, the father and daughter did not speak to each other. As Michael wore a
cold expression, Carmen knew that her father was mad and did not dare to say a word.
Upon returning to Vi No. 8, Michael entered the study that no one had used for a long time before
cing the box of DVDs into the cab. Inside, there were many treasured DVDs and CDs as well as
small essories, technical books,ic books, novels and so on—everything was ced in an
organized manner.
After storing the DVDs, he sat in front of the study table and looked at the familiar items—bench,
bookcase, andputer.
Sophia’sputer, phone and tablet were ced on the desk and the room was cleaned on a daily
basis. Sticky notes with her short-term goals written on them were glued on her desktop’s monitor. When
he saw that one of the notes—with the goal ‘regain my figure in one month afterbor for a wedding
photoshoot’—written on it, fell andnded on the table, he quietly used glue to stick it back and
intentionally at the same angle as before.
Everything seemed like it was yesterday.

The room was maintained in the same way as she had left it back then, as if weing her home at any
time.
Michael woulde in to sit for a while every day to feel how it would have been to have her by his side.
It was already three years—she had left for three years.
Sophia’s name was still registered in Michael’s household registry—it had not been removed yet, so it
meant that he would not be able to enter into another marriage.
It was as if he was waiting for her to return…
He sat in the study for a long time. When Carmen came to take a look many times, he finally called her
in. “Carmen,e to Daddy.”
She silently approached him and seemed guilty as she pouted.
Without ming her, he took her into his arms instead. Pointing at the orderly arranged book rack, he
adjured in a serious yet earnest manner, “Carmen, these are Mommy’s babies. Don’t take them out and
show it to others in the future, okay? If she returns someday and finds that her stuff is missing, she will
be upset.”
Carmen seemed confused, but she nodded.
Caressing her little head, Michael smiled and whispered, “Darling… That is my Carmen. You are such a
good girl…” Even as he beamed, there were tears in his eyes.
