Cooper was displeased. “Did I say that?”
“No. But I think so.”
Both Erica and Jane were gentle and caring women. As such, Steven had a preconceived notion that gentle women were Cooper's type.
Cooper leaned back in his seat and closed his eyes. “I'm not interested in Ms. Yerton. I courted her earlier because the two children liked her, and she was also their teacher.”
He added, “I said that just now because I was afraid that if I were too harsh, she would get upset and give the children a hard time at school.”
“Who are you interested in then? Is it Ms. Loake?” Steven asked again.
Cooper sneered when he heard that. “Am I crazy?”
“Well, you do look crazy to me.” Steven saw Cooper knitting his brows and exuding a cold aura through the rearview mirror.
“Ever since Sally left, you've changed. You're not a short-tempered person, but you have been in a bad mood recently and tend to lose your temper,” he added.
“Because she did not stick to the agreement and was ungrateful,” Cooper explained coldly.
“Is that so?” Steven asked. “Before I went to pick you up, someone from the bar called me and said that you smashed Zeno's head after he insulted Sally.”
Cooper placed his hand on his forehead and closed his eyes, saying nothing. No, that's not it. I was just upset and frustrated by what Sally did, so I was eager to find her and demand an explanation from her.
The pain in his wound and everything that unfolded that night made Cooper restless. He tossed and turned in bed, and when he opened his eyes again, it was already afternoon the next day.
Bertilla thought he had something urgent to deal with and did not disturb him.
Since his assistant had made all the work arrangements, Cooper went downstairs for lunch and asked the housekeeper to pick out a few luxury gifts from the storehouse.
