My Flirtacious Husband novel Chapter 1151

Chapter 1151 You Were Not Shy Earlier

Too lazy to move, Sally stayed curled up in the seat. “There's probably a pinhole camera in the bedroom, so look for it. Also, remember to cover your nose when you enter the house.”

“Okay.” Cooper pushed open the car door and alighted from the vehicle.

Sally proceeded to lock the car door. She then leaned back against the seat and napped for a while. When a knock sounded on the car window, her eyes reflexively popped open.

Only when she had ascertained that the person outside the car window was Cooper did she unlock the car door and move over to the passenger seat.

After the man got back into the car, the smell of agarwood clinging to his clothes discomfited her slightly. In a mild voice, she asked, “How was it?”

“It's best that you remain ignorant,” Cooper said, then drove toward the city.

When Sally was feeling better, she divulged, “I sneaked into Geraldine's house today, deliberately staging a gas leak and luring her out before turning the whole place inside out. There was a safety deposit box in the bedroom. In it were a few hundreds of thousands in cash and two house deeds in her name. That aside, there was a wedding photo of her and Edward above the head of the bed.”

Cooper gave a bark of laughter. “It looks like she's been with Edward for quite some time since they'd even taken a wedding photo together. And Edward must have accepted a huge sum in bribes that he could afford to gift his mistress two houses when he's only a chief secretary.”

“I'll contact Edward tomorrow,” Sally stated.

Cooper shook his head. “No, that's too quick. A wedding photo can't prove anything unless they have a fake marriage certificate, or we unearth evidence of his corruption.”

Edward would still be unaffected if Geraldine were to deny any relationship between the two of them.

Aware that Cooper was right, Sally decided to shelve her plan.

By the time they arrived back at Swallow Garden, it was already past seven o'clock in the evening. Cooper circled to the passenger seat and opened the car door, bending down to carry Sally.

“I'll walk by myself.” Sally slapped his hand away.

“While barefooted?” Glancing at her sock-covered feet, Cooper slipped his hands under her knees and scooped her up. “You weren't the least bit shy earlier, so there's no need to start now.”

Stroking her head, Cooper gently promised, “Okay. I'll definitely tell him about it.”

“It's going to be the new year soon. Will Daddy and Mommy be coming back?” Amanda questioned, her ebony eyes brimming with anticipation.

Having grown up in Dartan, both Amanda and Lucian had celebrated four new years there. Last year, they had spent the new year domestically after coming back. Alas, Armand wasn't by their side at that time.

Cooper knew how much they yearned to have their parents with them during the new year meal.

He couldn't bring himself to lie to Amanda, so he resorted to changing the subject. “We'll go to Baykeep and visit your great-granddad tomorrow, okay?”

Amanda's eyes lit up. “Aren't you busy with work, Uncle Cooper?”

“I'll leave it to the others. Let's go and see what's for dinner tonight.” Cooper got to his feet with her in his arms and headed toward the dining room.
