I Am the Sweetheart of Mr. CEO-Chapter 405: The Girl from Six Years Ago (8)

Kris Cooper pinched her little nose, a chuckle in his voice. "Good girl!"

Vera Wave shrugged slightly. She knew he wouldn’t agree. Besides, she wasn’t very interested herself. The one million she’d earned from this movie was enough for her and her grandma’s living expenses. It would be better to focus on her main job in the future. The entertainment industry was a mixed bag and really wasn’t the right place for her. What if she encountered someone like Irene Spencer again? That would be a real headache.

Thinking of Irene Spencer, Vera suddenly remembered something.

She sat up straight and looked seriously at Kris Cooper. "Darling?"

He raised his hand and gently caressed her cheek, his fingertips lightly brushing her lips. Then he leaned close, gently kissing her delicate neck.

Hearing her call him, he murmured against her neck, "Mm?"

"I have something to ask you."

Even though she didn’t believe what Irene Spencer had said, she was still very curious why he wore such a pair of rings around his neck.

"Speak."

As usual, the man replied with a single, terse word. His lips, however, had already moved to her collarbone. As she felt his hair gently brush her skin, her heartbeat instantly lost its rhythm.

"Actually, I just wanted to ask about that ring."

Her hand gripped his shoulder, her breathing already a little ragged.

The ring?

Kris Cooper lifted his face from her neck, meeting her eyes with a puzzled look.

"What ring?"

"This one!" She pulled the necklace from around her neck, holding up the ring hanging on it. "I remember, you always had it hanging around your neck. You... why do you have a pair of couple’s rings on you?"

This girl... why did she suddenly ask about this?

Doubt arose in Kris Cooper’s heart. He didn’t answer immediately, just gazed into her eyes.

"Why do you ask?"

Vera spoke nonchalantly.

"Just curious. It just feels a bit strange..." She licked her lips and added teasingly, "It’s not something you bought for an ex-girlfriend, is it?!"

She had only been teasing, but as the words left her mouth, an inexplicable pang of jealousy arose within her. The mere thought that he might have had an ex-girlfriend, someone from his past, made her uncontrollably jealous. Although logic told her that such an outstanding man must have liked other women in the past, she still couldn’t accept that reality. Love is selfish. Who wouldn’t want the man they love to belong solely to them?

Kris Cooper furrowed his brow. "Did someone tell you some nonsense?"

「Outside the door.」

Irene Spencer pressed her ear against the door, listening to the faint voices from inside, her heart in her throat.

She had told Vera those things on impulse, and now she was filled with regret.

「Inside the room.」

"No, not really. I was just curious and asking on my own."

Vera didn’t mention Irene Spencer’s name. Filming would be over soon, and she wouldn’t have many chances to interact with Irene Spencer in the future anyway. There was no need to make a big deal out of such a trivial matter. Otherwise, given Kris Cooper’s temper, he would probably do something to Irene Spencer.

Kris Cooper relaxed, and a smile returned to his lips.

"Do you really want to know?"

"Yes!"

"Alright!" He leaned back, propping himself up on his arms on the bed. "Help me take off my shirt, and I’ll tell you!"

What a scoundrel!

She immediately pouted.

"No way!"

His peach-blossom eyes narrowed slightly as he gazed at her small face. Suddenly, Kris Cooper relaxed his arms and fell back onto the bed.
