Chapter 1129


    Prior to this, Anna and Cooper had only met briefly, and they had only spoken a few words to each other.


    But Cooper—a cold and indifferent man—had left a deep impression in Anna’s heart.


    During their meeting this time, their eyes met when Cooper wasing down the stairs. Anna felt as if


    her eyes were locked onto his as something magical lingered in the air between them.


    Sophia had destroyed Callum’s dignity and both parties had already torn up their cooperation agreement,


    so she was not sure what Anna was doing in her house. But since they were here, they might as well


    made things clear.


    When Sophia talked to her dad or her brother, she spoke in a young, child-like voice. But, as soon as


    Anna and her sons walked in, her voice turned low and grave and waspletely different from her


    usual tone. “Mrs. Yard, since you’re here, let’s rify some matters.”


    They were guests nheless, so Sophia politely greeted them and made sure they were all properly


    seated before she began clearing things up.


    “First of all, I’m sorry for the disagreement between me and Mr. Callum the other day. Even though we


    can’t continue with the business, we can still be friends.” Sophia gave Callum a sincere apology, which


    he epted with a nod.


    After all, there were no permanent friends or enemies, only permanent interests.


    That day, Sophia was indeed offended by Anne’s impertinent remarks. Being called a ‘b*tch’ had


    certainly touched a nerve.


    Sophia continued, “As for the house, we currently don’t have any ns of selling it. We’re staying in Vi


    No. 1, so we’re not going to sell it off. Those office buildings are being used as well, so we have no ns


    to sell them for the time being. Also, my dad doesn’t n to remarry.”


    Thest sentence was the most important point.


    Cooper had no interest in Anne whatsoever, so there was no point in trying to win him over.


    Callum shrugged at this. What a huge misunderstanding.


    But, now that everything was over, he reckoned that it was better to just let it go and let it remain a


    misunderstanding. Anne had already been beaten into submission after all.


    Anna was the one to respond. “That misunderstanding was a result of my ipetent teaching. It


    caused Anne to overstep, so I’d like to express my apologies.”


    Anna was an arrogant person, but she was not blindly arrogant.


    Although they were speaking in a friendly manner, Sophia did not want to say anything to Anna anymore.


    Before this, they still had a nodding acquaintance, but now, all they had were business exchanges.


    Property ? N?velDrama.Org.


    Meanwhile, Cooper and Linus said nothing. Sophia was always the one dealing with the Yard Family


    anyway, so they rarely had any contact with the Yards.


    Even if they had dealings, it would be back-and-forth fights that were carried out in secret.


    Hugging General, Linus stroked the feline. Touching a cat with shares does feel different, he thought.


    Cooper, on the other hand, kept a stony expression on his face.


    He was, however, looking at Anna the whole time.


    This was his Anna after all!


    But, he knew that she was not the same Anna she once was.


    It did not matter whether or not she had lost her memory, or if she still remembered him—they could


    never return to the way they used to be.


    Halfway through the conversation, Cooper suddenly got up and said, “You guys carry on.”


    Frostily, he turned away. He did not utter a single word since he came down, and now he was leaving


    after just throwing out one sentence, which just went to prove how indifferent he was.


    Is this the man from Bayside City that’s rumored to dote fiercely on his daughter? His character and


    appearance do not match that description at all! Cade spat in his mind.


    Watching his retreating figure, Anna felt a bone-chilling sadness in the simple arc of his back.


    What’s this man grieving about?


    The three of them sat there for a brief period. After rifying matters and talking a little about business,


    they got up to leave.


    “Let’s go together.” Linus got up as well as they were headed to the neighbor’s house anyway.


    Sophia had finished touching up her makeup, so she followed them out.


    They then walked to the neighbor’s house together.


    From the way they dressed to their nature, Callum and Cade were exactly the same. Unlike their father’s


    cold temperament, they were fresh and warm. Like two delicate little cherries, their faces were tender


    enough to pinch.


    On the contrary, Sophia and her brother looked nothing alike!


    Due to this, Callum was dubious. “Are you two really twins?”


    Linus gently took Sophia’s hand, steadying her as she wobbled in her high heels. While doing so, he


    answered, “I look like our father while she looks like our mother.”


    As he said this, Sophia nced subconsciously toward Anna.


    As mother and daughter, they certainly did look alike.


    When they walked past Sophia’s Vi No. 1, the Yards could not help but peer inside.


    Just by looking at its appearance, one could tell that it was a decent house. Sophia and her family had


    more than enough space in Vi No. 8, so it was truly a waste to leave this house empty! It was simply a


    waste of natural resources!


    To their surprise, someone suddenly opened the door of the vi, and a pig joyfully scurried out.


    They rear… pigs?!


    Cade’s expression changed as he began to re-evaluate Sophia’s worth.


    She’s actually raising pigs in Vi No. 1, the heart of Bayside City! What a wealthy woman!


    By the time the neighbor’s party ended, it was already the wee hours of the morning. Yawning, Sophia


    went home with Linus, while the Yard Family left in their car.


    Sitting in the car, Anna sensed a pair of eyes looking in her direction as they passed by Vi No. 8.


    She looked up at the vi and saw that the window on the third floor was open, and a figure was just


    turning away.


    Cooper…


    Anna looked out the window until she could no longer see the vi.


    After they got back to the hotel they were temporarily staying at, Anna quickly fell asleep.


    She had not been asleep for long when a man came in from outside. Softly closing the door behind him,


    he walked into the bathroom to take a shower before changing into his pajamas and getting into Anna’s


    bed.


    “Annie…”


    Jordan slowly moved closer to her; his hands were outstretched as if he wanted to touch her.


    His hand approached her, but eventually stopped and hung mid-air, not reaching out atst.


    There was a distance between the two of them as theyy there in their clothes.


    He knew that Anna was not asleep, so he said softly to her, “Ryan and Henry areing to Bayside City


    to pursue their PhDs.”


    Upon hearing those two names, Anna’s eyes suddenly flew open, and a dark gleam shed across her


    eyes.


    Meanwhile, Carmen had returned, so Linus and Sophia went to the airport to fetch them.


    As soon as the door to the aircraft cabin was opened and the stairs were lowered, Michael brought


    Carmen down with a scowl on his face.


    Looking energetic as she was dressed in a pink dress with her hair up in pigtails, Carmen bounded


    happily toward Sophia and Linus. “Mommy, Uncle Linus!”


    Feeling delighted, Sophia rushed forward to hug her daughter. She had only been gone for three days,


    but she had already grown cuter and was even more beautiful than before.


    She was really a little baby that grew up feeding on cuteness!


    After her little reunion, Sophia noticed Michael’s sour face, and she had a feeling that things did not go


    well.


    Thest time he came back, he had worn the same dark expression because Carmen had brought back


    a huge water buffalo, two goats, a chicken, and a pig.


    This time… Oh, no!


    They had gone to a vige in the desert!


    What animals were there in the desert?


    Sophia did not have to guess as they would soon find out.


    Dancing around with joy, Carmen beamed, “Mommy, I brought back a special product!”


    Sophia’s scalp tingled as soon as she mentioned ‘special product’ because she was almost always


    referring to something that was alive.


    Sure enough, in the next moment, arge camel could be seening down from the cargo hold.
