I Am the Sweetheart of Mr. CEO-Chapter 388: Never Leave Me (Part 1)
Vera was only worried that he would get drunk with the way he was drinking.
"Don’t worry!" Kris Cooper raised his big hand, gently caressing her small face, "Today, your husband’s happy, don’t stop me, okay?"
There were many people at the table, and he was the big boss, so everyone had to toast him.
Vera was only worried that his stomach would be upset by all the drinking, and worried that he wouldn’t be happy if she stopped him too much, so she kept putting food on his plate with her chopsticks, and eventually she just fed him directly.
Though Kris Cooper had quite the capacity for alcohol, dealing with a table full of people naturally couldn’t keep him from feeling the effects, gradually succumbing to the alcohol.
Tommy Taylor had been by his side for a while and noticed things weren’t good, so he took the initiative to stand up.
"Miss Vera, maybe it’s time to send the president home?"
Kris Cooper’s personality was such that Tommy didn’t dare to advise him directly, so he had to ask Vera to step in.
Seeing Tommy’s look, Vera stood up and supported his arm.
"Kris, stop drinking, shall we go back?"
"It’s okay, I’m not drunk yet!"
"But I’m tired, I want to sleep!" Vera bent down and whispered in his ear, "Honey, let’s go home, alright?"
"Alright!" The man replied with a smile and stood up from his chair, "Tommy, don’t forget to settle the bill... Everyone, eat and drink to your heart’s content, don’t be shy!"
"Rest assured." Tommy also came and supported his other arm, "I’ve already spoken with the manager."
Seeing this, everyone hurriedly stood up to see them off.
"No need... no need..." Kris Cooper smiled and waved his hand, "You all enjoy your meal, this girl... is tired, I’m taking her back to rest."
As he spoke, he reached out again, ruffling Vera’s hair, his affection evident.
"No need to see us off, I’ll take him back." Vera waved to everyone, "Isla, Brother Ruben... you help take care of everyone... We’ll head back first!" 𝑓𝓇𝘦ℯ𝘸𝘦𝑏𝓃𝑜𝘷ℯ𝑙.𝑐𝑜𝓂
"Alright, don’t worry, I’m here!" Isla replied with a smile.
The group escorted the three to the elevator, and Vera and Tommy helped Kris Cooper downstairs as the elevator doors parted a moment later.
Once downstairs, Tommy went to get the car while Vera held Kris Cooper, waiting at the entrance.
She lifted her hand to feel his warm face, worry furrowing her brow as she softly scolded him.
"I told you to drink less, but you wouldn’t listen. Are you uncomfortable now?"
"Not uncomfortable!" The man extended his hand and pulled her into his arms, "It’s drinking in sadness that makes one drunk, drinking happily... doesn’t make you uncomfortable... Vera... Let me tell you, today, your husband is especially... especially happy. Do you know why?"
Supporting his waist to keep him balanced, Vera asked from within his embrace.
"Why?"
"My parents... agreed!"
"Agreed to what?!"
"You silly girl!" He chuckled lightly, raising his hands to cup her face, "Of course... to... to us being together..."
"Really?"
Vera was also filled with joy.
"Of course!" He swayed slightly, then smiled as he leaned in, using his hand to brush aside the messy hair on her face, his eyes brightly gazing at her, "Vera... my Vera... you’re destined to be mine... how wonderful!"
Muttering vaguely, he embraced her once more.
"Promise me, never leave me again... alright, Vera?"
His voice was slightly muffled, yet the happiness in his tone was unmistakable, and as she held onto his waist, listening to the rapid beat of his heart beside her ear, Vera’s own heart filled with joy.
