"Alright, I'll give him one more chance. If he stops now, I won't hold it against him!"
Vera Wave felt relieved and smiled, immediately turning to give him a loud kiss on the cheek.
"Thank you, darling!"
Wrapping her in a hug, Kris Cooper lightly curled his lips.
"As long as you're happy."

The next afternoon, Kris Cooper dropped Vera Wave off at the Barker Group building, then personally got out of the car to open the door for her.
"I'll wait for you in the car. If anything happens, call me immediately."
Vera nodded and gave him a reassuring smile, then walked up the steps.
"Vera!" Kris Cooper hurried a few steps to catch up with her, ran to her side, tidied her hair, then reminded her once more, "Be careful. I know you and he were childhood friends, but remember, people can change."
She nodded seriously, "Don't worry, I'll protect myself and the little one."
Kris Cooper raised his eyebrows, still uneasy, and immediately reached out to hold her hand.
