Chapter 990
“I've already picked out the wedding dress,” Genevieve went on as she fished her phone out of her pocket to show Cooper everything. “The green dress from the fashion show this year is so beautiful!”
Genevieve was especially fond of green, and she never liked the idea of having a white wedding dress. She had always dreamed of wearing a color she loved and marrying the man of her dreams.
She didn't actually feel much when she said those words to Cooper, though.
It was more of a rational statement than an emotional one. She enjoyed spending time with Cooper, even when she was just a kid, and the two of them had been engaged for so long that it just made sense to marry him.
“Uh, it is beautiful, and if you like that dress, I will buy it for you,” replied Cooper. He held her hand and glanced at her before suddenly breaking the news. “But Genev, I can't marry you.”
Genevieve was taken aback. “Why not?”
Cooper was about to explain the situation when Genevieve asked in a horrified voice, “Wait, don't tell me... My dad dated someone else before he got married, and you're the son he had with his first love and, therefore, my half-brother. Hence, you can't marry me. Is that it?”
A thought flashed past Cooper's mind. Actually, the one who had another lover was your mother, and you do have a half-brother, but it's not me.
“No, that's not it,” replied Cooper. He instinctively tried to push his glasses, but there was nothing there for him to push.
“Well, if we're not related, then everything is fine,” said Genevieve as her frown relaxed. “I don't care. You promised you'd marry me when we were kids.”
Cooper didn't want to die from Armand's wrath, so he had no choice but to lie. “I can't marry you because I'm in love with someone else.”
“You're lying,” commented Genevieve before she snickered. “Come on, you don't hang out with other women, and I know that all too well. Besides, we grew up together. Our love and history are strong, so there is no way anyone can compete against me.”
“Why would I lie to you?” challenged Cooper. “We're adults now, and feelings change. Also, I've only ever seen you as a baby sister.”
Genevieve's smile turned upside down immediately. “Have her come here, then. I'd like to meet her.”
Cooper was lying to Genevieve earlier. He didn't actually have a girlfriend.
The poor guy was about to signal Armand and get the latter to come up with a solution when someone knocked on the door. Sally entered the room a second later.
