I Am the Sweetheart of Mr. CEO-Chapter 480 - 478 Give My Ring Back to Me (2)

The girl sniffed. "I’ll go prepare your bathwater. Go take a hot bath so you don’t catch a cold!"

"I thought you were going to leave again!" Kris Cooper finally breathed a sigh of relief. He raised his hand to caress her small face. "Go wash your kitten face first!"

He guided her into the bathroom, where Kris Cooper stood with her before the sink. "There... take a look!"

Looking at herself in the mirror, Vera Wave couldn’t help but laugh. Her face was smeared with mud from somewhere. She had cried for a while too, leaving her face streaked with black and white, just like a little kitten.

Kris Cooper rinsed his hands under the faucet, then gently pressed her head down, cupping water in his large hands to wash the mud from her face.

After cleaning her small face, he picked up a towel to dry it. He looked at her intently, then nodded in satisfaction.

"Mm, much cleaner now. Go on, change your clothes and wait for me in bed."

"I’m not going."

Kris Cooper frowned slightly. "Still angry with me?"

Vera Wave grabbed his arm. "I don’t want to be separated from you!"

She couldn’t recall how they had fallen in love six years ago, but one thing was crystal clear: she loved this man and was irrevocably involved. She hadn’t realized this before. It wasn’t until he left her last night that she truly understood how important this man was to her. She didn’t want to be apart from him for a single moment, not even the distance of him being in the bathroom while she was in the bedroom. Right now, all she wanted was to be in his presence, to touch him, and to listen to their past memories.

Sensing her feelings, Kris Cooper’s lips curled slightly. "Since you’re being so good, I’ll give you a chance to help your husband bathe."

"Yes, sir!"

She curtsied to him like a little maid. Smiling happily, she went to run his bathwater, then rose again to get a towel...

Leaning against the sink, Kris Cooper watched the little girl bustling about in the bathroom and slowly let out a long sigh.

"Dear husband, the water is ready!" The little girl grinned mischievously, gesturing for him to come over.

Taking a step forward, Kris Cooper reached out again and pulled her into his arms. "Girl, promise me, no matter what happens in the future, you won’t leave me like this without a word again, okay?"

She wrapped her arms around his waist and agreed from within his embrace. "Kris, I’m sorry!"

Sensing she was about to cry again, he quickly changed his tone. "Kiss me, and I’ll forgive you!"

Her tears turned to laughter. She stood on her tiptoes and nibbled his chin.

"Lips!"

"No, your breath smells of smoke! It stinks!" 𝓯𝓻𝓮𝙚𝙬𝓮𝙗𝒏𝙤𝒗𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝒐𝓶

"Stinky or not, you still have to kiss me!"

As he spoke, he leaned in, feigning seriousness. She giggled and dodged, but he lowered his head and playfully bit her neck, making the little girl shriek with laughter.

"Stop... HAHA... that tickles... My dear, you seem to have grown a beard... it’s prickly!"

He touched his own face; sure enough, he felt a bit of stubble.

It was no wonder. He usually groomed himself meticulously every morning, but today he had rushed out in his pajamas without even washing his face. How could he have been in the mood to bother with a beard?

Meanwhile, the little girl had already reached out and begun to unbutton his shirt.

"Did I ever help you bathe before?"

"Once."

"Only once?"

"You wanted to help again later, but I said no."

"Why?"
