Chapter 1188


    Chapter 1188 That Bear Looks Like You


    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 minutester, 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 shed 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 outughing.


    He and Sally weren''t a real married couple, so there wasn''t any marriage fortune between them in the


    first ce. He was sure the elder was a swindler, albeit a swindler who didn''t cheat a lot of money.


    However, Cooper decided to y 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. s...” The elder shook his head as he trailed off. After pausing for a beat, he


    continued, “You''re just soulmates.”


    Cooper didn''t feel any pity. Instead, he chuckled. “Looks like it''s true when you said you were a fortune


    teller.”


    Despite Sally and him not being an actual couple, they knew what the other was thinking. She was like


    a missing piece of his body. Wasn''t that proof enough that they were soulmates?


    The elder left with his granddaughter after he told Cooper''s and Sally''s fortunes.


    Cooper vaguely noted Sally was in a bad mood when they continued their tour around the aquarium.


    He recalled the elder''sment about how they were a rare fated couple and assumed that was the


    cause of Sally''s worries. “You don''t have to give a thought to what the old man said. If fortune-telling is


    so urate, then why doesn''t everyone go and have their marriage fortune told? There will be fewer


    couples at City Hall filing for divorce in that case.”


    Sally merely grunted an acknowledgment and said impassively, “I didn''t take his words to heart.”


    She was aware of their rtionship. Her mind was rational and clear-headed, but hearing they were


    only soulmates had inexplicably rubbed her the wrong way.


    Her initially rxed and calm feelings turned turbulent.


    After the fortune-telling interlude, Sally had an indifferent expression throughout the remaining tour


    around the aquarium. She didn''t speak much either.


    It wasn''t out of the norm for her. Cooper was used to her being quiet, so he didn''t give it much thought.


    Seeing as it was still early after leaving the aquarium, he asked if Sally would like to go shopping, but


    she didn''t enjoy shopping for clothes and bags.

    Cooper rubbed his throbbing temple and finally drove Sally to the flower and bird market. They bought


    a few tortoises for Amanda so the child wouldn''t feel bored at home.


    Since it was an off day and the market was one of therger scale markets in Jadeborough, the ce


    was packed.


    When they were about to leave with the tortoises, Cooper spotted a flower shop having a sales


    campaign with a cool-looking purple teddy bear and a bouquet of roses as the prize.


    Cooper stopped in his tracks when he saw the prize. “That teddy bear looks like you.”
