    Chapter 1151 You Were Not Shy Earlier


    Toozy to move, Sally stayed curled up in the seat. “There''s probably a pinhole camera in the bedroom, so look for it. Also, remember to


    cover your nose when you enter the house.”


    “Okay.” Cooper pushed open the car door and alighted from the vehicle.


    Sally proceeded to lock the car door. She then leaned back against the seat and napped for a while. When a knock sounded on the car window,


    her eyes reflexively popped open.


    Only when she had ascertained that the person outside the car window was Cooper did she unlock the car door and move over to the passenger


    seat.


    After the man got back into the car, the smell of agarwood clinging to his clothes difited her slightly. In a mild voice, she asked, “How


    was it?”


    “It''s best that you remain ignorant,” Cooper said, then drove toward the city.


    When Sally was feeling better, she divulged, “I sneaked into Geraldine''s house today, deliberately staging a gas leak and luring her out before


    turning the whole ce inside out. There was a safety deposit box in the bedroom. In it were a few hundreds of thousands in cash and two


    house deeds in her name. That aside, there was a wedding photo of her and Edward above the head of the bed.”


    Cooper gave a bark ofughter. “It looks like she''s been with Edward for quite some time since they''d even taken a wedding photo together.


    And Edward must have epted a huge sum in bribes that he could afford to gift his mistress two houses when he''s only a chief secretary.”


    “I''ll contact Edward tomorrow,” Sally stated.


    Cooper shook his head. “No, that''s too quick. A wedding photo can''t prove anything unless they have a fake marriage certificate, or we


    unearth evidence of his corruption.”


    Edward would still be unaffected if Geraldine were to deny any rtionship between the two of them.


    Aware that Cooper was right, Sally decided to shelve her n.


    By the time they arrived back at Swallow Garden, it was already past seven o''clock in the evening. Cooper circled to the passenger seat and


    opened the car door, bending down to carry Sally.


    “I''ll walk by myself.” Sally pped his hand away.


    “While barefooted?” ncing at her sock-covered feet, Cooper slipped his hands under her knees and scooped her up. “You weren''t the least


    bit shy earlier, so there''s no need to start now.”

    “I shouldn''t have gone over. I should''ve had you experience the feeling of seeing yourself make news with seven women tomorrow,” Sally


    retorted expressionlessly.


    A frown marred Cooper''s countenance. “Don''t mention that anymore. It repulses me.”


    The instant Amanda saw Cooper returning with Sally in his arms, she trotted up to them and eximed, “Uncle Cooper, you''re finally


    romantic for once and know to carry Aunt Sally! But why didn''t you give her flowers? Daddy nted a lot of flowers personally. In the past,


    he used to gift Mommy a bouquet of fresh flowers every day.”


    “It''s because your Aunt Sally doesn''t like flowers,” Cooper replied.


    Amanda wrinkled her nose. “It must be because you''re toozy to bother.”


    After Cooper carried Sally into the living room, Amanda took a few award certificates and test papers out of her bag. “I scored full marks in


    three subjects and got three excellence awards!”


    “Wow, that''s great, Mandy! What do you want as a reward?” Cooper scooped her up and sat her on hisp.


    “To visit Great-granddad before going to Disnend to have fun!” Amanda swung her head sideways with a bright smile on her face. “Uncle


    Cooper, you must send my test papers to Daddy so that he can have a look. Oh yes, you''ve also got to tell him I got three award certificates


    while Lucian only received one.”


    Stroking her head, Cooper gently promised, “Okay. I''ll definitely tell him about it.”


    “It''s going to be the new year soon. Will Daddy and Mommy being back?” Amanda questioned, her ebony eyes brimming with


    anticipation.


    Having grown up in Dartan, both Amanda and Lucian had celebrated four new years there. Last year, they had spent the new year


    domestically aftering back. s, Armand wasn''t by their side at that time.


    Cooper knew how much they yearned to have their parents with them during the new year meal.


    He couldn''t bring himself to lie to Amanda, so he resorted to changing the subject. “We''ll go to Baykeep and visit your great-granddad


    tomorrow, okay?”


    Amanda''s eyes lit up. “Aren''t you busy with work, Uncle Cooper?”


    “I''ll leave it to the others. Let''s go and see what''s for dinner tonight.” Cooper got to his feet with her in his arms and headed toward the dining


    room.
