I Am the Sweetheart of Mr. CEO-Chapter 372 - 373 There’s Nothing I Don’t Love (1)
Vera Wave watched the sales assistant hurry off, then turned to her husband. "Dear, don’t you think you’re exaggerating a bit?"
Kris Cooper slipped another cotton sock onto her small foot. "The opening is too tight. Your feet will swell if you walk a lot."
Vera froze. "You... how did you know?"
She did have this problem, though she never knew why. She’d seen doctors about it before, but they couldn’t find a cause. In the past, she would always buy a pile of socks and wear whichever pair felt most comfortable. It was just that her financial situation was limited now, so she couldn’t be as extravagant as before.
He remembered how, years ago, he’d taken the packaging from her favorite socks and scoured the entire city to buy them all up for her. Of course, he knew about her issue. But these were things he couldn’t tell her now.
After loosening her shoelaces, Kris looked up at her with a smile.
"This is common sense. If your socks aren’t comfortable, your feet definitely won’t be."
With that, he bent down to adjust the shoelaces of her flats.
"Sir!" The sales assistant returned, pulling a large box on a dolly. "All the socks from the warehouse are here. There are 125 pairs in total. Shall I write up the bill for you?"
"Yes." Kris Cooper got up, took the bill the sales assistant prepared, and went to pay. Watching Vera, who had also stood up, the sales assistant’s eyes were full of envy.
"Your husband dotes on you so much! Mine wouldn’t even buy me a pair of socks, let alone help me put them on."
Vera’s face turned a little red. She turned and gazed at Kris Cooper’s retreating figure, the corners of her lips lifting gently.
Having such a large customer for the first time, the sales assistant was particularly attentive. She personally brought the box downstairs with a small cart and helped Kris Cooper load it into the car.
Once in the car, Vera watched the man beside her start the engine and drive out of the parking lot. Her face remained turned towards him, her gaze fixed on him.
When he stopped at a red light, Kris Cooper noticed her gaze and glanced sideways at her.
"What’s wrong?"
The young woman blinked, then asked with a serious expression, "Honey, am... am I dreaming?"
Happiness had come so quickly, she found it a little unreal.
The man’s lips curved up. He extended his hand towards her mouth.
"What for?" She blinked, asking in confusion.
"Bite it," the man said.
She looked at the hand before her, understood, and laughingly slapped it away.
"You’re annoying! Even if I were to bite, I’d bite my own hand. If I bite your hand, how would I know if it hurts or not?"
He raised an eyebrow, grabbed her left hand, brought it to his own lips, and gently bit her finger.
"Does it hurt?"
"A little." 𝒻𝘳𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝘯𝘰𝑣ℯ𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝘮
Holding her hand, he brought her finger to his lips and blew on it gently. He looked at the faint tooth marks on her skin before finally letting go.
"Then it’s not a dream!" With that, he stepped on the gas again.
The car pulled away from the stop line and merged into the stream of traffic.
Outside the car window, the world bustled. Inside the car, there were two people.
Vera Wave lifted her hand. On her fair fingers, the tooth marks he had left were slowly fading, and the pain had already disappeared.
She turned her head to gaze at Kris Cooper, who was driving, and remained silent.
The car drove steadily, and the lights from outside shone through the window, making his face flicker between light and shadow.
That face, it felt as if she could look at it for a lifetime and never tire of it.
At that moment, only one thought filled her mind: she wished this road would never end, so she could keep looking at him like this, all the way until their hair turned white.
For some reason, her eyes grew moist.
He hadn’t heard anything from her for a while and thought she had fallen asleep. The car turned into the alley of their old neighborhood, and Kris Cooper slowed down, stopping the car. He turned to look at the young woman in the passenger seat.
