Chapter 806
The man’s voice was hoarse from a whole day of pushing insurance sales, which was why he spoke
softly. Despite that, Sophia could still hear him.
She turned around and took off her mask as she looked at him. What she saw was an unfamiliar, tired
and dejected face. She had no recollection of this face in her memories.
Smiling at him, she asked, “Do I know you, sir?”
Taken aback, the man opened and closed his mouth a few times, but not a word left his pale lips.
There was no mistake; it really was her. Then why…
Before he could say anything, the man standing next to Sophia tugged at her as he spoke coldly. “That’s
your ex-boyfriend, Richard Harper. Ignore him.”
“Really?” Sophia faintly remembered this person. However, no matter how unforgettable someone was,
they were just another stranger to her now.
“He looks so old.”
Taking another look at him, Michael almost did not recognize Richard too.
Indeed, Richard looked extremely old. Standing before them was a man in his twenties, but he looked
like he was past forty. His white hair and wrinkles made him look pale and dull. He must have been
released from prison. On top of that, he was sick too.
Then, Michael led Sophia away and they left.
Standing still, Richard watched as Sophia slowly disappeared from his sight. He knew that he was
forever gone in her memories, bingplete strangers and would never interact with each other
again. The past would stay in the past, buried forevermore.
It was only after a long time that he sat back down on the bench. Turning around, he looked at the house
that was once his home.
Once upon a time, he was an incredibly powerful man. He was worth tens of billions and was a high-
profiled and influential person.
But now, everything had changed.
Everything that he once had was now far out of his reach.
Not only did the Harper Group go bankrupt, the Harper Family waspletely ruined. Mr. Harper had
taken his own life while Mrs. Harper remarried, left the country and was unreachable. Meanwhile,
Richard and X were both sentenced to prison and had lost all their fame and fortune.
On top of that, X had a miscarriage and passed away due toplications.
After four years, he was finally released.At this moment in time, he did not have a penny to his name. No
one wanted to help him and none of his rtives could be reached. His birth mother had remarried and
was now overseas, and he could not afford to go in search of her. Now, he could only run around doing
sales and selling insurance just to make ends meet.
He was aware that this was karma brought on by Sophia. Finally, they were even.
As Michael and Sophia left, Michael turned back to look at a depressed Richard before looking at
Sophia, who looked unbothered. At that moment, he felt relieved.
Forgetting was not a bad thing, after all. While the good memories were forgotten, the bad ones
vanished too.
Come to think of it, it wasn’t that bad.
After walking her dogs, Sophia happily went home. As soon as she arrived, she saw Cooper, who was
sitting in the living room, looking at her coldly.
“Where have you been, darling?”Sophia froze, knowing she was caught. She could only force out, “I
went out to walk the dogs.”
“Who did you go with?” It seemed like he already knew, which was why Sophia did not try to hide it.
“Carmen’s daddy!”
Upon hearing this, Cooper harrumphed.
I knew it… That man does not have good intentions! he thought to himself.
Unfortunately, his darling was too innocent to see through him!
Cooper sat on the couch frigidly, while Linus sat silently on the other side. From time to time, Linus would
nce at Sophia sympathetically. Meanwhile, Carmen was on her toes, trying to reach up to Cooper’s
hair and was attempting to braid it.
Not long after, Cooper’s blond hair was tied into two little pigtails that were way too short. After that, it
was Linus’ turn.
Looking at the pair of messy pigtails, Sophia found it hard to take Cooper seriously.
At that moment, Carmen blew at Cooper’s annoyed face. “Grandpa’s mad. I’ll blow the anger away and
Grandpa will be happy again.”
Cooper was indeed disgruntled. He knew things were not that simple when Michael let Carmen
recognize Cooper as her grandfather.
He was actually wondering why Carmen was especially clingy today. It turned out she was creating an
opportunity for her father!
As Carmen blew, Cooper’s resentment seemed to be blown away too. Taking this opportunity, she
asked, “Grandpa, I’m going to pick strawberries with Daddy. Do you want toe?”
Speaking of this, Sophia suddenly remembered. “Michael is bringing Carmen and I to the farm outside
the city tomorrow to pick strawberries and catch free range chickens. Would you like to join us?”

Upon hearing this, Cooper was set on declining the offer. Moreover, he would forbid Sophia from going
too. However, Carmen insisted while Sophia looked eager as well. In the end, he had no choice but to
reluctantly agree.
He had to join them on the trip and keep an eye on Michael, in case he tried to make a move on his
darling.
The next day, Michael came to pick Carmen and Sophia up. Not only did Cooper join them, Linus came
along too.
Carmen, Linus, and Sophia all went with Cooper, who was the driver. Meanwhile, Michael drove himself,
with four dogs and two puppies with him.
At that time, Nathan was home too. When Sophia saw him wandering around, she hurriedly said,
“Nathan, you shoulde with us!”
However, he coldly rejected, “No.”
Muttering under her breath, Sophia then got into the car.
After driving all morning, they finally arrived at Michael’s farmhouse. Thrilled, Sophia got down from the
car, excited to see the free range chickens and to pick strawberries.
“Mr. Mitchell, this is my farm, which mainly grows vegetables that we use for cooking at home,” Michael
proudly introduced.
However, Cooper had on his usual cold expression and did not respond. He only had his darling in his
eyes. Thus, Michael stopped speaking to him.
Each of the men looked after their own darlings.
That being said, Michael understood Cooper. If Carmen was sold to someone for eighty thousand, he
would have castrated them right away.
After thinking from Cooper’s point of view, he thought that Cooper was actually being kind to him. At least
he did not castrate him.
On Michael’s private farm, there was a holiday vi, which was specifically for his asional holiday use.
In the past, Sophia loved toe here for a stay once in a while.
At once, everyone went into the vi, which had been cleaned and prepared beforehand. The beddings
were all freshly cleaned and smelled like sunshine.
Then, Michael opened the door to one of the bedrooms. “This is the room we used to stay in when we
came over.”
Happily, Sophia took her things and went in but before Michael could enter, he was blocked by Cooper.
“You’d better not go in.”
Cooper then picked the room right next to Sophia’s. Linus picked the room next door, leaving Michael
with thest room on the furthest end.
The farm was a good distance from the city, almost in a different province. They had departed in the
morning and arrived at noon. Here, the soil was fertile and the area was sparsely popted, so many
wealthy people from Cethos had bought private farmhouses here.
During lunch, they all ate a very simple but healthy lunch at the vi. They were served vegetables that
were freshly picked and chicken that was freshly prepared. On top of that,
When they were done with lunch, Sophia changed her clothes and went out. She had on a loose outfit
and had tied up her hair, putting on a pair of boots before walking to the strawberry garden with a basket
in hand.
The strawberries were grown in a greenhouse, where the temperature and humidity was well managed
and the light was sufficient. Thus, the strawberries grew to be big and round. Sophia picked the
strawberries happily while Carmen trailed behind.
The fruits here were all grown organically, free of pollution and pesticide. As Sophia picked the
strawberries, she stole a few bites and her lips turned red from the juice.
Whenever Michael found any big and round strawberries, he would immediately ce them in her basket
too.It was indeed a peaceful atmosphere.
