I Am the Sweetheart of Mr. CEO-Chapter 697 - 696: Pregnant?! (19)

The next morning, Kris Cooper took the breakfast Mrs. Zhang had prepared and hurried to the detention center.

Inside the detention center, the staff already recognized him. When Kris Cooper stated his purpose, the person in charge was quite troubled.

"Mr. Cooper, I am truly sorry, but according to regulations, family members aren’t allowed to visit alone."

After Kris Cooper pleaded for a long time, the staff member, who knew about the relationship between the Cooper family and Lucille Matthias, found he couldn’t refuse him and finally agreed with reluctance.

"Mr. Cooper, let’s be clear: this is a one-time exception. It won’t happen again!"

Kris Cooper thanked him repeatedly.

The man then called another staff member over and asked him to bring Vera Wave out to meet Kris Cooper.

Carrying the breakfast he had brought, Kris Cooper entered the reception room and waited, frowning.

A moment later, footsteps sounded from outside. Hearing them, Kris Cooper rose and strode to the door.

The door was pulled open. It wasn’t Vera Wave who entered, but the staff member. Kris looked past the staff member, but he didn’t see the person he longed for.

"Where’s Vera?!"

The staff member met his gaze and noted his expression. "She said she doesn’t want to see you."

"This... How is this possible?!" Kris Cooper was stunned. "She... she must still be angry with me. Could you please go to her one more time? Just say... I’ve come to apologize to her. Sorry to trouble you!"

The staff member nodded and left again.

He returned a short while later, still alone.

"What... What did she say?!"

The staff member shook his head gently.

"She still refuses to see you."

"Didn’t you tell her I came to apologize?"

"I did, but she just said she didn’t want to see you."

Kris Cooper gritted his teeth. "Then... can I go in to see her?"

"Mr. Cooper," the staff member said, his expression troubled. "You should know this is already an exception. The cell block is a restricted area; you absolutely cannot enter. Otherwise... why don’t you come back another day with a lawyer?"

Kris Cooper frowned in thought, then got some paper and a pen and wrote a note.

"Could you please give this to her?"

The staff member took the note. "This really is the last time. If she still refuses to see you, please come back another day."

"Okay, thank you, thank you!"

The staff member left again. Kris Cooper followed him out as far as the barred iron gate. From there, he watched the staff member pass through multiple heavy iron doors and disappear at the end of the corridor before he finally stopped.

Arriving at Vera Wave’s cell, the staff member opened the door and stepped inside.

Inside the cell, Vera Wave was sitting on the bed with her knees drawn to her chest, staring blankly at the blue sky visible through the small window in the wall.

"Mr. Cooper asked me to pass this note to you."

The staff member handed over the note, which was folded in half. Vera Wave turned her head to look at the note in his hand.

After a moment’s hesitation, she finally reached out, took the note in her fingers, and unfolded it. It bore the man’s familiar handwriting.

"Vera, I was wrong yesterday. I know you’re doing all this because you love me. Please, come out and see me just once, okay?"

"Miss Wave, Mr. Cooper is waiting right outside," the staff member began softly. "He repeatedly asked me to persuade you. He even brought breakfast specially. Why don’t you go and meet him?"

Vera Wave closed the note in her hand, took a deep breath, then turned her face to the staff member and said, "Please, tell him to go back and focus on his work. When Ashton and Glimmer are completely on track, I will see him then."
