I Am the Sweetheart of Mr. CEO-Chapter 371 - 372: I Will Take Good Care Of You (5) Added Update

Sitting by the bed, Kris Cooper casually pulled Vera Wave’s bare left foot onto his lap. When she saw him about to put a sock on her foot, she quickly pulled it back.

"No...no need, I can do it myself!"

Her feet were clean from the bath, but the socks she’d worn for half a day were already dirty. She couldn’t bring herself to let him help her put them on. Seeing him look at her, Vera hurriedly explained.

"The socks... they stink!"

Kris Cooper didn’t say anything but caught her foot again and placed it back on his lap. He carefully helped her put the cotton socks on her small feet, and at the end, he didn’t forget to gently tug the elastic band at the top of the sock, which was a bit too tight.

His handsome eyebrows furrowed as he looked at the socks, which were a little tight around her ankles.

"Eat quickly. Then we’re going to the Shopping Mall."

"Okay!"

Vera didn’t know what he wanted to buy, so she quickly got up and put on her shoes.

After they washed their hands and finished dinner, Kris Cooper took her downstairs. Vera had initially planned to stop by her office for her bag and phone, but seeing the urgent look on his face, she figured he needed to buy something important right away and didn’t mention it.

Upon leaving the Ashton Building, the two headed straight for the nearest Shopping Mall.

Kris Cooper led her straight to the fourth floor. Vera’s face turned red involuntarily when she saw him hurry past the lingerie section.

Is he... taking me to buy men’s underwear?

While she was still lost in thought, Kris Cooper stopped.

"Sit down!"

Assuming he was going to pick something out, Vera obediently sat down on a small sofa stool. She then watched him turn and walk between the nearby shelves.

On the shelves, contrary to what she’d imagined, were rows and rows of socks.

So he’s here to buy socks!

Wait...

Vera’s gaze fell on the cotton socks he had taken from the shelf, and she quickly reminded him.

"Honey, those are women’s socks!"

Honestly, this guy! How can he not even tell men’s and women’s socks apart?

Kris Cooper ignored her. He looked around and swiftly grabbed several pairs of socks from the shelf.

A salesgirl hurried over. "Sir..." she began, but by then, he had already opened the sock packaging. "Sir, you... you can’t just open these..."

"I’m taking all of these. Just prepare the bill!" the man said. He then walked over to Vera, crouched in front of her, and slipped off her flat shoes with a swift motion.

"Honey, what are you..."

Before she could finish speaking, he had already taken the socks off her feet and was putting one from a newly opened pair onto her foot.

He tested the tightness of the sock’s opening with his fingers. Frowning, he removed that sock and opened another package.

Vera could only stare, dumbfounded. Trying on socks in the Shopping Mall—this was a first for her.

The nearby salesgirl was also petrified. She had seen people try on clothes and shoes, but this was the first time she’d ever seen someone try on socks.

"Don’t move!"

Kris Cooper caught her foot as she tried to pull it away. He put on another sock, tested the elastic with his fingers, and only when he was satisfied that it was neither too loose nor too tight did a smile finally touch his lips.

"Go get all the socks of this type from your stockroom. I’ll take them all!"

Hearing his voice, the salesgirl finally snapped out of her daze.

"Sir, are you... joking or being serious?"

Kris Cooper said nothing. He just took out his wallet, pulled out a credit card, and handed it to her.

"Ring up one hundred pairs for now. If that’s not enough, I’ll pay for more."

A hundred pairs? Is this guy planning to open a sock store for her?

Vera wanted to object, but the salesgirl had already accepted the credit card with a smile.

"Okay... I’ll go get them for you right away!"
