I Am the Sweetheart of Mr. CEO-Chapter 483 - 481: Give Me Back My Ring (5)

"No, Brother Nathan." Vera Wave pulled her wrist from his hand. "I... I don’t want to leave. I want to stay."

"Did he threaten you?"

"No, he didn’t."

Nathan Leafcastle furrowed his brow. "Vera!"

On the steps, Kris Cooper coughed lightly, intending to remind Vera Wave.

If she can’t sort it out, then he will.

"No, really." Vera Wave glanced at Kris Cooper behind her and took a step back on the stairs. "We... we’ve gotten back together. It’s true, I’m not lying to you! Thank you so much for everything today. It’s so late; you should go home and rest too."

Before Nathan Leafcastle could say anything more, Kris Cooper, having lost his patience, descended the steps and stood by Vera Wave’s side.

"I’ve tolerated you for long enough. Don’t force my hand!"

Nathan Leafcastle raised an eyebrow at him, then his gaze returned to Vera Wave.

Nathan Leafcastle also saw Vera Wave’s determination. Knowing he couldn’t take her away tonight, he didn’t make things difficult for her any longer.

"If anything comes up, call me. I’ll do everything I can to help you. It’s too late tonight, so rest here for the night. I’ll call you tomorrow."

Vera Wave just hoped he would leave quickly, lest the two of them start arguing again. She immediately nodded gently. Nathan Leafcastle then looked back at Kris Cooper.

"Don’t bully her, or else... I won’t let you off the hook!"

"You’d better stay away from my woman, or else... I won’t spare you either!" Kris Cooper retorted, giving tit for tat.

Vera Wave reached out and held his arm. He raised an eyebrow but didn’t continue.

"I’ll head off then. You get some rest."

After saying goodbye to Vera Wave, Nathan Leafcastle turned, walked to his car, started the engine, and drove away.

As Nathan’s car lights receded into the distance, Kris Cooper draped an arm around her shoulder.

"Let’s go back inside."

Gazing at the taillights vanishing around the corner, Vera Wave sighed inwardly. She turned and walked back to the old house with Kris Cooper, then spoke softly.

"He... he’s not really a bad person. He just... has some misunderstandings about you. Could you please not argue with him?"

"Okay!" Kris Cooper smiled and took her hand. "As long as he doesn’t try to steal my woman, I can tolerate anything else."

"Then..." She turned her face to him. "Can I have a meal with him tomorrow?" 𝕗𝗿𝕖𝐞𝐰𝗲𝕓𝐧𝕠𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝐨𝚖

She felt she had to explain today’s events to Nathan Leafcastle. After all, he had helped her a lot today.

"You can."

Vera Wave was taken aback.

He... he actually agreed so readily!

"However, I’m going with you!"

Letting his woman dine alone with a man actively trying to steal her away? He wouldn’t be at ease at all.

I knew it. How could he possibly agree to let her go alone? Vera Wave thought.

"But..."

"I promise I’ll be like a statue and ignore his existence. That should be fine, right?"

Vera Wave sighed helplessly. With his personality, it would be a miracle if he let her dine alone with Nathan Leafcastle. This is the only way.

"Alright then. But you promised you wouldn’t argue with him."

"Okay. But you’re not allowed to let him touch you again!" Kris Cooper patted the wrist Nathan Leafcastle had held. "He even got your clothes dirty by touching you."

Vera Wave gave a helpless lift of her lips.

After a moment, she stepped forward to block his path, extending her hand in front of him.

"Give me back my thing!"

"What thing?" Kris Cooper asked, puzzled.

She raised her left hand and waved it in front of his face.

"My ring... Give it back to me!"
