I Am the Sweetheart of Mr. CEO-Chapter 685 - 684: Pregnant?! (7)

Thanks to Lucille’s care, he could have a private room and was treated better than others.

But for Kris Cooper, who had always been used to living freely, being confined in such a small space and facing white walls every day was indeed a form of mental torture.

This time, Christoper Cooper had specially discussed the matter with Lucille, and she had agreed to allow a computer to be brought to him.

She handed him the computer she had brought. Vera also offered him the food she had brought, her face lit with a carefree smile.

"Mrs. Zhang was afraid you wouldn’t get used to the food here, so she especially asked me to bring your favorite, Steamed Pork Ribs with Rice Flour."

Kris Cooper didn’t eat the pork ribs. He just reached out and caressed her cheek. "You haven’t been eating properly, have you? Your chin has become so sharp!"

"That’s where you’re mistaken! It’s better to look thinner for photos, and I’m preparing for our wedding shoot!" Vera lifted his hand, pressing his palm against her cheek. "See? This is a true palm-sized face."

He reached out, pulled her into his arms, and his hand gently stroked her hair.

"Vera, I’m sorry!"

"What are you saying? It’s not your fault."

"I’m not talking about this; there are many other things..." Kris Cooper’s hand gently caressed her back. Of course, he hadn’t slept well these past few days either. Every night, he’d tossed and turned, fixated on this issue. "Sometimes, I’m also a little unsure about what exactly I should do."

Vera put her arms around his waist. "I know, it’s hard for you too."

She lifted her face to gaze at the man before her, who looked somewhat haggard, then raised a hand to cup his face.

"Kris, remember, no matter what happens... my love for you never changes!"

The man smiled and nodded.

"I know."

Her fingertips gently caressed his lips. She said no more, merely lifting her face to kiss him.

She kissed him until she was almost breathless. Then, she released his lips, wrapped her arms around his neck, and buried her face against it, deeply inhaling his familiar scent. 𝑓𝘳𝑒𝑒𝓌𝘦𝘣𝘯ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝑚

"Kris, do you love me?"

"Of course."

"You said before that no matter what I do, you’ll forgive me. Does it still count?"

"Of course."

"I love you too." She tightened her embrace. "Even more than you can imagine."

Only when a staff member came in to hurry her did she reluctantly get up from his arms. Watching Kris Cooper walk to the door, she kept a smile on her face. Yet, her fingers resting on the table had turned pale from clutching its edge so tightly.

After leaving the detention center, Vera didn’t go home. Instead, she drove straight to the City Bureau. She didn’t go to see Lucille; she went directly to Deputy Chief Michael Freenan’s office.

"Miss Wave?!" Michael Freenan was discussing Kris Cooper’s case with a few subordinates. Seeing her, he immediately stood up and ushered her in. "Alright, let’s pause here for now. The rest of you, go on with your work!"

A few subordinates packed up their materials and left. Michael Freenan invited Vera to sit at the table and poured her a glass of water.

"Miss Wave, is there anything I can do for you?"

Vera picked up the cup from the table and took a sip.

"I’ve come... to tell you the truth."

"The truth?!" Michael Freenan looked at her in confusion. "You mean?"

"The real murderer."

"Who is it?"

Vera put down the cup in her hand and sat up straight on the sofa.

"Me!"

Even the usually composed Michael Freenan was stunned. It was a good moment before he reacted.

"Miss Wave... what on earth do you mean?!"
