I Am the Sweetheart of Mr. CEO-Chapter 437 - 436: The Girl from Six Years Ago (40)

In the private room, Christoper Cooper sat upright and spoke in a serious tone.

"As far as I know, Vera Wave is Walter Wave’s daughter. She wouldn’t mind me acquiring the Wave Tower, would she?"

Christoper Cooper had thoroughly researched Vera Wave much earlier.

Bailey Hansen had previously mentioned her quite a bit, and Christoper had formed a good impression of her.

Throughout the dinner, he could clearly see how much his son cared about this young girl.

Christoper Cooper had never coddled Kris since childhood. He had stopped financially supporting Kris as soon as he became an adult, forcing him to earn his own living.

To outsiders, it might have seemed a bit harsh, but how could he not truly love his own child?

Knowing that Vera Wave was Walter Wave’s child, Christoper Cooper was quite concerned about this.

As a businessman, seeking maximum profit is perfectly acceptable. The tower was in an excellent location, and the auction price was low. If he hadn’t bought it, someone else would have.

But no matter what, that place had once been the territory of Wave Industries. Christoper Cooper couldn’t help but worry that Vera Wave would read too much into this.

Kris Cooper gently shook his head. "It’s okay. She doesn’t overcomplicate things."

"Mmm." Hearing this, Christoper Cooper gave a slight nod. "That’s good."

Vera Wave walked up to the cash desk on their floor, purse in hand. She placed Christoper Cooper’s wallet on the counter, then immediately opened her own handbag. She took out her wallet and handed her credit card to the cashier.

She knew that Kris Cooper was not short of money. However, since she had offered to pay for dinner, she wanted to use her own money.

The cashier took her credit card, settled the bill for their party of four, and handed her the slip to sign.

She carefully grasped the pen with her right hand and signed her name. In the process, she accidentally knocked Kris Cooper’s wallet onto the floor.

After putting the pen down, she hastily bent over to pick up the wallet.

She noticed a photo stuffed in his wallet. At first glance, she thought Kris Cooper had put her picture in his wallet.

She joked aloud, "Are you kidding me?" Then, she took the wallet to examine it more seriously. After another careful look, the smile on her face gradually faded – it was not her photo.

The photo was of a very young girl. It seemed to have been taken in dim light, possibly with a mobile phone, so the image was pixelated and not very clear. However, it was still evident that the girl had delicate features and bore a striking resemblance to Vera.

Staring at the photo, she immediately recalled the time when she had just met him. This picture must have been in his wallet all along.

Previously, she had seen this picture in his wallet but hadn’t paid much attention to it, as their relationship at the time was far from romantic.

Now that she saw his wallet carrying a picture, her feelings were naturally different.

"Miss, your receipt!"

The cashier respectfully handed over the receipt.

Vera Wave snapped back to her senses. She took the receipt, clutched Kris Cooper’s wallet, and started walking towards their private room. Looking at the photo, the more she thought about it, the more she felt something was wrong.

After taking a few steps, she finally stopped. She carefully pulled the photo out from his wallet and studied it intently under the light.

Under the light, the picture looked somewhat old; it was clearly a few years old. The light revealed faint writing on the photo, so she turned it over to look at the back.

On the back of the photo, there was a line of graceful English pressed deep into the paper—MY ONLY, New York, 20XX.

20XX, that was six years ago.
