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
