Chapter 773


    Upon entering Vi No. 8, Sophia noticed that there were cats everywhere. There were many orange


    cats, and there were even two Persian cats and Ragdolls.


    The cats started following her once she entered the house. She picked up a Ragdoll cat randomly to pat


    it, and it started nuzzling her hand obediently. It looked very pretty, and it went up to the second floor


    together with her and Cooper. They wanted to have a look at the ce she used to live in, and Sophia


    wanted to take some things she fancied away.


    Upon entering the master bedroom, she noticed that the walls were painted in pink color, and it appeared


    especially warm and adorable. When she opened the door to the adjacent space, she caught sight of a


    splendid and spacious walk-in closet. It waspletely filled with women’s clothes, handbags, jewelry,


    and such.


    Arge ruby-red diamond in a see-through security safe caught her attention. Michael exined to her,


    “That’s the Eternal Love, and it was your favorite ring. Take it with you if you like it; you can unlock it with


    your fingerprint.”


    Sophia stared at the Eternal Love for a very long time. Although she adored it, she didn’t take it away in


    the end.


    After taking a tour in the closet, Sophia didn’t take anything with her; instead, she strolled leisurely to the


    study next door.


    There was a table in the study, and a desktopputer was ced on top of it. There were two other


    laptops just beside the desktop too. There were a few post-it notes stuck onto the desktop monitor.


    There were things like, ‘Go on a diet after delivering the baby to take our wedding photos’, and ‘Get the


    company listed in three years’ time’, scrawled over the notes.


    Furthermore, there were quite a number of photos beside the desktop—some of Michael and Sophia,


    Sophia and Nathan, and the three of them together as a family. There was even one picture, where they


    had their photos taken with the pandas in the Panda Foundation.


    Sophia picked up the panda photo excitedly. “Are these the pandas we adopted?”


    Michael answered in a hurry, “Mm-hmm. Let’s visit them if time allows. They were still babies when we


    adopted them, but they have grown into adult pandas now.”


    He did not have the courage to get closer to Sophia because Cooper had been watching him like a


    hawk.


    Sophia stared at herself in the picture. In the photo, her eyes were twinkling withughter, and it was


    obvious that she was truly happy at that moment.


    After going through the photos, Sophia turned to look at the study table. There were piles of textbooks of


    university’s specialized subjects. Some of them included Computer Science, Economics, Finance, and


    ounting.


    Furthermore, she saw a few collectors’ CDs and DVDs too. Sophia even noticed the CD Carmen had


    shown her in secret.


    Michael immediately stated, “These are all yours. Feel free to take them away if you like.”


    Sophia nced around at the study, where it seemed as if she had left it behind just yesterday, while


    regarding Michael, who still had a shock of white hair. Suddenly, she couldn’t bring herself to do it.


    Carmen mentioned that the study was filled with her daddy’s precious items, and nobody was allowed to


    touch them.


    Sophia looked up to observe the book racks that were neatly arranged. I think this area must have been


    cleaned regrly… I didn’t expect him to keep my things all this while, but I honestly don’t remember any


    of it.


    In the end, Sophia did not take anything away; instead, she merely asked someone to copy everything


    from theputers to take away with her.


    While they copied the data, Cooper stared at their group photo that was ced beside theputer


    because he thought that it was an eyesore. I can’t believe my daughter got married to an old man.


    “You two should get a divorce first. I’ll shift Sophia’s household registry out,” instructed Cooper in a


    demanding manner while facing Michael. Sophia’s heart throbbed painfully, but she did not contradict


    him.


    Michael was dumbstruck when he heard that. He hesitated for a few seconds before finally responding


    dejectedly, “Alright.”


    The word ‘divorce’ weighed heavily on Michael because he had never thought of getting a divorce with


    Sophia.


    However, if that’s what she wants, I’ll give her my blessings. Nothing can beat the fact that she is back


    and alive.


    Nevertheless, upon hearing Michael’s answer, Carmen burst out crying unexpectedly. She started


    throwing a tantrum while rolling on the floor stubbornly. She wailed loudly, “Daddy and mommy are


    getting a divorce, and nobody wants me anymore! I’d need to go around begging for food soon!”


    Cooper got a shock when he saw that. Hence, he wrapped his arms gently around Carmen, who was still


    throwing a tantrum, while reassuring her, “No, of course not. Who says that daddy and mommy don’t


    want you? They both want you! Good girl, please don’t cry. My heart is breaking.”


    Carmen wouldn’t stop crying, and she kept struggling while shaking her head sadly. She wept so loudly


    that everybody on both floors could hear her clearly. “Sob… Daddy and mommy are getting divorced!


    They don’t want me anymore!”


    Sophia held Carmen tightly in her arms hastily while coaxing her in a gentle tone, “Baby, you are a good


    girl. Don’t cry, please. We won’t get divorced. Daddy and mommy won’t get a divorce, alright?”


    Carmen slumped against Sophia while crying her eyes out loudly, and it seemed as if she was


    inconsble. Sophia uttered while shooting Cooper a disgruntled look, “Dad, Carmen is still young. Let’s


    drop the matter of divorce for now!”


    This belongs to N?velDrama.Org: ?.


    Cooper med himself too, and so he put the matter of divorce on hold temporarily.


    It was alreadyte by the time they managed to console Carmen, so Michael took the chance to invite


    Cooper and Sophia to stay for dinner. Cooper barely said ‘no’ when Carmen started sobbing while her


    eyes started brimming with tears. Cooper was taken aback, and he uttered hastily, “Okay, okay. We


    aren’t leaving. I’m not going anywhere.”


    Carmen pouted, and tears started streaming down her cheeks in silence.


    In the end, Sophia and Cooper had no choice but to stay for dinner at Vi No. 8. After dinner, Sophia


    was getting ready to leave when Carmen, who seemed content just a second ago, burst out crying again.


    “I want mommy!”


    Sophia felt helpless, but she didn’t have a choice. Therefore, she requested the nanny to send over her


    toiletries and pajamas since she had decided to stay overnight in Vi No. 8 to apany Carmen.


    This time, Cooper was worried, and so he instructed Shae to keep an eye on the situation.


    He instructed Shae to beat Michael up if he were to try something.


    Upon learning that Sophia would be staying overnight at Vi No. 8, Michael was overjoyed. He sent


    over Sophia’s previous pajamas to Carmen’s room, and he even prepared her favorite mint-vored


    toothpaste.


    Sophia changed into a pink rabbit cartoon pajamas. It was her first time, and so it took some time for her


    to get used to it. Nevertheless, after wearing it for a while, she found it especiallyfortable.


    Carmen wore a set of smaller pink pajamas as well. Her clothes matched Sophia’s since they came as a


    parent-child set. In fact, she looked absolutely adorable.


    Sophia held Carmen in her arms lovingly. Carmen was especially obedient today, but she wouldn’t sleep


    despite having the lights turned off. Instead, she stared at Sophia while blinking her eyes slowly.


    Intermittently, she’d nce at Nichs and Shae, the two robots, at the side.


    Previously, Nichs used to belong to Nathan, but ever since he left for university, Nichs was passed


    onto Carmen. “Baby, why aren’t you sleeping yet?”


    This was Sophia’s first time sleeping with Carmen. She didn’t know how to coax a child, but since she


    saw that Carmen’s eyes were still wide open, she just had to ask her.


    After a moment of hesitation, Carmen asked, “Mommy, when are you returning to heaven to be a fairy?”


    Sophia paused for a while before chuckling. Then, she kissed Carmen’s cheek while reassuring her, “I


    won’t be going back anymore. I will apany you from now on.”


    However, Carmen was still worried as she asked again, “In that case, will you revert to a fairy secretly to


    fly away?”


    It turns out she’s afraid I’d leave, and that is why she wouldn’t fall asleep.


    Such an adorable but pitiful little thing!


    Sophia exined straight away, “I won’t leave anymore. I promise you that I will leave when you’re


    asleep, baby; you are a good girl.”


    Carmen was finally satisfied with her answer. However, just when she was about to fall asleep, she


    tightened her tiny hands around Sophia reflexively. It was as though she was afraid that Sophia might


    turn back into a fairy and leave her while she was sound asleep.


    The small nightmp emitted afortable warm glow, and Sophia regarded Carmen under the dim


    lighting while her eyes shone with adoration and love.


    This is my baby! She’s just like an angel. From now on, nobody will separate us ever again!
