"Mr. Cooper, Sally and Nathan Leafcastle just had a big argument. Sally left in a huff and stated that Nathan can't go to Barker again."
"Alright, I've got it."
On the other end of the phone, Kris Cooper put his phone back on the table and looked at Vera Wave, who was eating across from him, and pursed his lips.
"It seems like he and... Sally have broken up."
Vera, who was just about to bite into a meatball, looked up with half of it in her mouth.
"Who? ...Ah... Oh, I got it."
She lowered her head and continued chewing the meatball in her mouth.
Kris Cooper got up and sat down next to her, lifting his hand to hold her shoulder, gently rubbing her hair.
"Vera, don't blame me."
Vera swallowed the meatball and turned her head to smile at him.
"I know you've already shown mercy. This time, it's his own fault. I hope he... learns a lesson."
