Kris Cooper actually took the initiative to invite Nathan Leafcastle to dinner, which seems impossible when you think about it!

From start to finish, he never liked Nathan Leafcastle, Vera Wave was well aware of that.

The only reason he’s doing this is probably just to make her happy, but Vera certainly wouldn’t agree.

"I know you feel sorry for me..." Vera reached out, holding his arm, expressing gratitude, "But, I don’t want you to compromise yourself because of me."

If she had to choose between the two, she would undoubtedly choose Kris Cooper without hesitation.

Kris Cooper lifted the corners of his lips, a satisfied smile appearing on his handsome face. Knowing that he was more important in her heart than that jerk, he naturally felt pleased. However, this matter needed to continue.

"I’m serious."

"Stop it!" Vera pouted, "A jar of vinegar filled with soy sauce is still sour!"

He chuckled softly, "That’s why we need to invite them even more."

Noticing the underlying meaning in his words, Vera raised an eyebrow in confusion.

"What do you mean?"

Kris Cooper’s expression turned serious, "Vera, don’t you think it’s a bit odd that Sally Dalton suddenly came to find you at this time?"

"It is strange, I find it quite sudden too..." Vera met his gaze, her brow furrowing suddenly, "You... you’re not thinking that they have some kind of conspiracy, right?"

In fact, that’s exactly what Kris Cooper thought.

"This... only Nathan Leafcastle can answer."

A reconciliation?

Because of him and Vera, Nathan Leafcastle lost his mother. Could he really come to terms with this in such a short period?

No, Kris Cooper didn’t believe it; Nathan Leafcastle must have some ulterior motives.

Vera bit her lip, "Since you think he has a conspiracy, why should we still go?"

"Because I want to know what exactly he’s up to." Kris Cooper took a deep breath, reached out to hold her hand, and deliberately put on a relaxed smile, "Maybe, he really did come around?"

Though he didn’t believe it at all.

Vera took a sip of water from her cup, her gaze fixed on the rippling surface inside.

"Do you really think so?"

Kris Cooper remained silent for a few seconds, then reached out to gently ruffle her hair, lovingly.

"I don’t want to lie to you, I can only say... I hope so. But you have to be prepared, if not, then... I won’t go easy on him. I won’t allow anyone to hurt you again, no matter who it is!"

Vera put down her cup, turned to look at him for a moment, then nodded solemnly.

"Alright."

This matter needed to be resolved because Kris Cooper had already endured too much because of her, and she couldn’t allow him to be troubled any longer.

If the two men had to pick one, she would naturally stand by his side without hesitation.

Of course, she didn’t want to see such a situation.

She could only hope now for Nathan Leafcastle, hoping that everything before was just a nightmare. Turning her face, she received a kiss on the side of her hair as Kris Cooper spoke gently.

"Let’s eat, come on, have some beef. It’s good for our son’s nutrition."

After dinner, the two returned to the company, Kris Cooper dropping her off at the Planning Department before heading back to his office.

He called Tommy Taylor in and immediately gave an order.

"Make arrangements, I want to invite Nathan Leafcastle and Sally Dalton to dinner tomorrow afternoon."

Tommy Taylor looked surprised.

"You... you mean?"

"I want to see what he’s really up to!"

Kris Cooper raised his hand, throwing the dart he was holding, which traced a line of light through the air, hitting the bullseye.

Good afternoon
