Kris Cooper's heart tightened as he took a light breath and stepped towards the bedside where Vera Wave sat, lifting his hand.
Vera instinctively shrank back, but the hand still came down, gently ruffling her hair, and he spoke softly.
"I acted too impulsively just now, I snapped at you without understanding the truth. I'm sorry."
Sorry?!
Vera looked up, her eyes filled with disbelief as she glanced at Kris Cooper.
"You... you didn't come to take me to apologize to Ria Chapman?"
"You didn't do anything wrong, why apologize?"
"But she... isn't she your girlfriend?!"
If she wasn't his girlfriend, why would she come so arrogantly to confront her and even threaten to fire her?
Girlfriend?!
Kris Cooper frowned, "Did she say she's my girlfriend?"
"She said you two have known each other since you were kids and even calls you Brother Kris. Isn't that childhood sweethearts?"
Families well-matched, childhood sweethearts, naturally a perfect match.
Why does it sound a bit sour?!
