My Flirtacious Husband novel Chapter 1109

Chapter 1109 I Am Not Going To Die

Standing inside the house was Cooper in casual wear, and besides looking a little thin, Cooper seemed just fine.

He was so kempt that even his facial hair was taken care of.

“Mr. Sutton?” greeted Bertilla tentatively, worried that he was hallucinating because he had stood outside for too long and that the door was actually still closed.

“What are you panicking for? It's not as though I'm going to die,” stated Cooper calmly as he glanced at the assistant, for he knew the two children would be left alone if he were not around too.

After following his boss inside, Bertilla took the food he had bought out of the bags. “I bought you lunch from Golden Restaurant. Would you like to have it now?”

“Sure.” Cooper took a bottle of water out of the refrigerator and handed it to Bertilla.

Then, he pulled up a chair and sat down to have lunch. “Did you go to Swallow Garden? How are Lucian and Mandy?”

“I've been there thrice,” replied Bertilla. “Mandy kept asking me where you went and why you didn't answer her calls. I just said that you were busy with work. Mandy bought it, but not Lucian.”

Lucian was smart, so for Amanda's sake, he did not ask Bertilla or Steven about Cooper, even though he knew something was wrong.

“I'll check on them tomorrow. Today, I'm going to the office,” stated Cooper.

Bertilla nodded in response to that. “Mr. Sutton, there's one more thing... When I went to Swallow Garden to see the children, I heard from Steven that the news of Mr. Faulkner's and Ms. Rachford's death had reached Old Mr. Zeigler.”

Herbert had been ill for a long time but had recently recovered enough to go out.

Unfortunately, when he learned that his granddaughter and grandson-in-law had died overseas within less than a year of returning home, he was so devastated that he was sent to a hospital that very evening.

With his dire condition, Herbert lay in a hospital bed and remained in a coma for a long while.

Cooper lifted his head to frown at Bertilla when he heard the news. “Only Frank and Sally were there, so how did General Zeigler hear about it?”

“I heard that another cruise ship passed by, and the passengers on board witnessed the explosion,” answered Bertilla.

Afterward, Cooper remained behind his desk and kept busy until the sky outside the window turned dark. When he lifted his head to massage his neck, his phone on the desk rang.

“What is it?” asked Cooper after picking up the device.

“I'd like to treat you to dinner,” uttered Jerry with a smile on the other end of the call. “What do you say, Mr. Sutton?”

Even though Cooper knew Jerry had an ulterior motive for asking him out, he agreed to meet the man for dinner at Imperial Club anyway.

Because of the snow on the road, Bertilla took forty minutes to reach the club by car.

Cooper then entered a VIP room and saw that there were others beside Jerry at the table.

“This is my uncle. He's quite close with my family.” Jerry introduced a person beside him after rising to his feet casually.

“Mr. Sutton,” greeted the stranger while quickly holding his hand out to shake Cooper's.
