I Am the Sweetheart of Mr. CEO-Chapter 653: I Have a Question for You

Vera Wave let out a sigh of relief, "By the way, Grandma, you haven’t fed the fish yet today, have you?"

"Go eat first!"

Kris Cooper’s voice came from the doorway.

Mrs. Li came in, supported Grandma Wave’s arm, and helped her to the front yard for dinner.

Vera Wave closed the photo album on the bed and looked at her father’s face on the cover, then let out a long sigh.

"Hopefully, Grandma will forget about this tonight, otherwise... I really don’t know what to do!"

Even though her mind wasn’t as sharp as it used to be, Grandma Wave still thought about her son every day. Vera could only use this method as an excuse, feeling both helpless and a bit heartbroken.

"Kris!" She turned her face, "Do you think... should I tell her?"

Kris Cooper frowned slightly.

"No way!" Vera Wave was already shaking her head, "If she knew the truth, she definitely wouldn’t be able to handle it. Last time, it was because of this that she ended up in the hospital. We can only keep deceiving her."

As she spoke, her gaze returned to the photo album, gently stroking her father’s picture with her fingers, eyes tinged with nostalgia.

Seeing her expression, Kris Cooper couldn’t help but feel a similar conflict arise within him.

To tell the truth or a benevolent lie, how should he choose?

He walked over, gently holding the young girl’s shoulder, and spoke softly.

"Vera, I... I have a question I want to ask you."

"What question?" Vera Wave looked up, her clear eyes meeting his, "Go ahead and ask!"

"If... I mean if!" Kris Cooper tried to keep his tone light, "If the Deer Island project was manipulated by someone behind the scenes, and that person... is someone very close to you, what would you do?"

"That’s..." Vera Wave bit her lip, "I’ve never thought about it. I feel like it’s unlikely to happen. Someone close to me, why would they harm my father and our Wave Clan? It doesn’t make sense!"

As she spoke, she paused for a moment, then looked seriously at Kris Cooper.

"Honey, did you... find out something?"

Previously, Kris Cooper had told her he would definitely help find the truth.

Recently, with so many things to deal with, Vera hadn’t paid much attention to it. 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝒆𝔀𝒆𝙗𝓷𝒐𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝓶

In her heart, she’d never thought it was a conspiracy. Now that he brought it up suddenly, she couldn’t help but feel puzzled.

"I’m... I’m still investigating, but I haven’t figured it out yet. I just suddenly thought of asking if your Wave Clan had any past grievances with others."

Why would Liliana Davis target Vera Wave? Kris Cooper also couldn’t quite understand this.

Vera Wave thought for a moment, then shook her head.

In her impression, her father was always very busy and he was not the kind of person who held grudges. No matter how she thought about it, she couldn’t figure out any enemies of the family.

Buzz!

The phone vibrated lightly. Kris Cooper took out his phone and upon seeing the text message, his eyebrows twitched slightly.

The message was from Liliana Davis, with a time and address written on it.

"Let’s go and have breakfast first."

The two of them went to the front restaurant to have breakfast. After finishing, Kris Cooper grabbed the car keys and said goodbye to her.

"I’m heading out now. If nothing comes up, I’ll be back early."

"Alright." Vera Wave stood on tiptoe to kiss his chin, "Drive carefully on the road."

The man reached out to rub her hair, grabbed the car keys, and headed for the door. Vera went over to tidy up the bed and saw the laptop bag he left on the sofa, just shaking her head.
