Chapter 998 All Thanks to Our Competitors!

• Mark, who was excited to hear the news, had offered to help care for Celine if she returned to the Fletcher Residence, but she preferred to live at Sophia’s—her house was spacious, had clean air, and there were more people around. Celine therefore decided to move in with Michael. Sophia’s house had practically turned into a mini version of the Edwards Residence. A number of individuals who depended on Cooper had moved in, including Derek, Vincent, Justin, Dimon, and a few others. Cooper, as the leader of this branch of the Edwards Family, was therefore excited to hear about Celine’s pregnancy. Her baby belonged to the Edwards, after all. They had even discussed the child’s surname—Celine’s first child would be a Fletcher, while her second child would be an Edwards.
• Now that Celine was in her forties, it was hard for her to get pregnant. Both Justin and Michael acted as if they were preparing for a war as they hurriedly increased the number of helpers that surrounded Celine. However, Celine was still as energetic as a child—she ran all over the place with the level of excitement that was equivalent to three huskies’. Cooper couldn’t help but recall the past whenever he glanced at Celine. The Celine that he had met when Mark first introduced them to one another was a totally different person from the woman she was right now!
• Although both Sophia and Celine had lost their memories after Phantom Wolf used their brainwashing techniques on them, Celine was still as innocent as a young baby even after being in recovery for nearly a year. Sophia, on the contrary, was maturing at a rapid pace. Cooper knew that Phantom Wolf had brought Sophia along when they were trying to avoid getting caught by the Fletchers. He knew that Sophia had been brought to dark, illegal places that were hidden deep within society… Celine was protected the entire time, but Sophia didn’t have the chance to remain innocent. Cooper now felt a pang of guilt when he looked at Sophia. He sometimes wondered how much his own daughter had to suffer before she turned into the cold-blooded, vicious woman she was right then. How I wish she could just be a protected little baby forever!
