Chapter 1188
The elder waved his hand. “Fortune-telling can only tell you the gist of one's fate. It can't read every detail of your future. We're part of a materialistic society now which denies the existence of immaterial things anyway.”
Cooper chuckled at the elder's contradicting words. “Why do you think I'll take up your offer then?”
The elderly man replied, “Because you have some truths to discern.”
The elder's answer stopped Cooper from leaving with Sally. “I have someone important who is very far away from me. I want to know if she and her lover are alive?”
The elder asked for the woman's birthday. A few minutes later, he said, “Old friends will meet again someday.”
Cooper had always considered Armand intelligent. He was sure Armand must have survived the explosion with Genevieve. Despite his certainty and confidence in Armand's capabilities, relief still washed over him at the elder's words.
Time is something I have in abundance. I'm confident I can wait until the day arrives when we finally reunite.
Cooper pulled out his wallet and gave the elder every banknote in there. Yet, the elder merely took two pieces.
“I charge fifty per person, so taking two hundred is more than enough.” A glint flashed across the elder's eyes when his gaze swept past Sally.
He asked Cooper, “Should I read the marriage fortune between you two?”
Cooper nearly burst out laughing.
He and Sally weren't a real married couple, so there wasn't any marriage fortune between them in the first place. He was sure the elder was a swindler, albeit a swindler who didn't cheat a lot of money.
However, Cooper decided to play along since the elderly man had said some nice things to reassure him earlier.
After getting the two's date of birth, the elder studied their features. “From your looks, you're a rare fated couple. Even though neither of you expressed your feelings, the other party understood them. Your minds are in sync. Alas...” The elder shook his head as he trailed off. After pausing for a beat, he continued, “You're just soulmates.”
