My Husband Is A Gary Stu novel Chapter 1147

Chapter 1148

Sally's gaze cooled several degrees at Cooper's flippant remark. She abruptly straightened herself and headed for the door.

Cooper did not pay heed to her reaction. Instead, he wore his glasses again and got back to work. Barely three minutes passed before Sally marched back into the study.

She held a tube of ointment in hand. “Take off your sweater.”

Frowning, Cooper held Sally's cool gaze for several seconds before he finally conceded and removed his glasses and sweater.

Sally opened the tube and squeezed some white ointment onto her hand. Her mind whirled with thoughts as she rubbed the ointment into the red marks on Cooper's arm.

Josephine scratched him pretty hard. Just look at the nail marks across his skin. And that bruise over his collarbone. It's bordering on a love bite.

Sally suddenly paused and stared intently at Cooper's collarbone.

Though the heater in the study was switched on, Cooper visibly felt the room temperature drop several degrees. Also, it was impossible not to notice Sally staring at his shoulder.

Cooper smiled and teased, “Weren't you applying ointment? Why did you stop?”

Sally was confused by the feelings churning in her chest. Nevertheless, she gradually composed herself and continued rubbing ointment on Cooper's arm.

Cooper pushed his chair backward and hooked an arm around Sally's waist, easily pulling her into his lap.

He could feel her curves even through her sweater.

He coaxed, “I have standards, okay? I'm not going to bed any woman I see. By the way, you should've told me Josephine goes wild when she's drunk. I would've handcuffed her to the bed or something.”

He would have appreciated less scratch marks across his body.

Still, the scratch marks had come in handy, after all. The reporters who barged into the suite earlier that morning certainly took it as a sign that he had slept with Josephine.

Sally's silence prompted Cooper to reach his arm under her sweater and tickle her waist.

She was exceptionally sensitive in that spot, and her body inadvertently stiffened in response. She shot Cooper an icy stare just as he swooped in to kiss her lips.
