Chapter 119
In the early morning, Melisa walked into Cooper’s room, only to find him already up, reading by the window
Upon hearing the noise, Cooper turned his head and said, “Mom”
Seeing him in casual clothes, Melisa asked, ‘Not planning on going out today?”
“Yup Cooper answered
Melisa sat down beside him, smiling, “I noticed you came home late last night. What were you guys up to? Why aren’t you continuing your day out with her today?”
“Mom, even best friends don’t hang out every day” Cooper replied, ‘Besides, we’re just friends”
With a slight sigh, Melisa said. “If you don’t want to be just friends with her, you need to put in more effort. Keep going out with her I see you’ve been having a lot of fun recently”
Feeling helpless. Cooper put down his book, ‘Mom, I’m not thinking that far. Seraphina and I are just friends.”
Upon hearing this, Melisa just hummed, rising to leave
Cooper hesitated for a moment, then suddenly called out to her, ‘Mom, do you know Seraphina’s mom?”
Upon hearing this, Melisa stopped in her tracks, sat back down, and frowned, “Why bring this up all of a sudden?”
“I ran into her when Seraphina and I were out to dinner yesterday. I feel like they don’t have the best mother–daughter relationship, Cooper explained.
After listening Melisa said with a tone of disdain, “That’s exactly why I let Seraphina hang out with you. Her mom… I’ve only met her a few times at public events. To put it bluntly, she’s not a well–behaved woman.”
Cooper stayed silent for a moment after hearing this
“Don’t worry. In my eyes, Seraphina is a good girl if you really like her, just go for it, Melisa said, “After all, she and her mom are two different people”
Feeling helpless, Cooper sighed, “Mom, I’ve told you, I don’t have such intentions…
With a look of regret in her eyes, Melisa looked at him. Cooper, however, avoided her gaze and buried his head back into his book. Melisa sighed inwardly and left the room
Cooper quietly stared at the book in his hand lost in thought.
Three days later, Cooper saw Seraphina again
Dressed in a blue evening gown, with immaculate makeup and a bright smile, she appeared in his living room.
Cooper was taken aback when he saw her, but Seraphina frowned at him, “Why haven’t you changed yet?”
Before Cooper could respond, Melisa walked in from outside, smiling at Seraphina, “Sera, you’re here! Oh dear, Cooper, why aren’t you hurrying up? Come, I’ll help you get ready.”
As she spoke, she pushed Cooper into the bedroom
“Mom. “Cooper could immediately tell this was another one of her setups. He couldn’t help but ask, “What are you up to?”
While picking out a suit for him, Melisa said, “Tonight is the Adams family’s anniversary party. Both your father and I hope you could attend”
Unable to hide his displeasure, Cooper frowned. “You know I don’t like these types:
of events.
“But Seraphina is already here. You saw how dressed up she is, all for accompanying you to the party,” Melisa said, “Are you going to let her efforts go to waste?
Cooper remained silent, looking at the suit Melisa picked out
Seeing this, Melisa said ‘Alright. I’ll go tell Seraphina to leave then.”
“Mom Cooper helplessly called out. “Fine, I’ll go. Is that okay?”
Only then did Melisa smile satisfactorily
Ever since Cooper became disabled, he barely made any public appearances. His daily life consisted of staying at home, quietly reading and studying. However, for his parents, he was once the most cherished, most outstanding son. How could they let his life go to waste just because of his disability? Seraphina’s arrival brought some change to Cooper’s monotonous life He was even willing to go out with her and attend some semi public events. This was undoubtedly good news for his parents Hence, on the company’s anniversary, Melisa decided to use Seraphina to coax Cooper into attending
As expected, her strategy worked
Melisa was overjoyed. Even the way she looked at Seraphina was filled with affection
On the way to the venue, Cooper thought for a while and finally apologized to Seraphina
“Why would you think I’m forced? Seraphina laughed, “On the contrary, I wish I could attend more of these events. The more people I meet, the better it is for my work”
Hearing this. Cooper finally relaxed and gave a small smile, “That’s good”
Upon arriving at the venue, a staff member immediately led them in They deliberately avoided reporters and took another elevator
Just as the elevator doors were about to close, another staff member rushed over, “Please wait”
The staff member held the door open, then turned to look outside the elevator, smiling, “Mr. Reynolds, please”
Then, Leandro, Keen, and two other men in suits appeared in Seraphina’s line of sight
The moment their eyes met. Seraphina couldn’t help but laugh
What a coincidence
Leandro glanced at her, then at Cooper, who was sitting in a wheelchair
Cooper didn’t recognize him, but since he was a guest of the Adams Group, as the host, Cooper should be polite. So, he said to Leandro. “Hello”
Leandro nodded and looked away.
The elevator was spacious Even with so many people in it it didn’t feel crowded. However, the atmosphere fell fense
Keen didn’t expect to bump into Seraphina here of all places “What a pain in the neck,” he thought to himself.
It wasn’t until the elevator doors closed that Cooper turned to look at Seraphina, who had just burst into laughter. Just as he was about to ank why she was laughing. someone else spoke first
“What are you doing here?” Leandro asked
Cooper blinked in surprise, looking up at Leandro, only to realize that Leandro’s question was aimed at Seraphina.
Seraphina met his gaze without flinching “And what are you doing here? Are you stalking me? Are you so infatuated with me?”
Leandro shot her a sidelong glance Seraphina placed her hand on Cooper’s wheelchair and said, “I’m Mr Adams‘ date tonight. I don’t have time for you, Mr. Peynolds”
As she stood there all decked out, Leandro’s gaze lingered on her face for a moment before he looked away.
Just then, the elevator arrived at the banquet hall on the 29th floor Reception staff were already waiting at the elevator doors. Upon seeing the people inside, one of the staff immediately smiled and said, “Mr. Reynolds, please come in.”
Leandro didn’t give Seraphina and Cooper another glance. He walked straight out of the elevator.
As they walked, Keen whispered in Leandro’s ear, “That guy there, that’s Cooper Adams from the Adams family. He got into a car accident three years ago and ended up disabled. It’s been years since he showed up in public”
