My Flirtacious Husband novel Chapter 991

Chapter 991 Why Should I Leave

Unfortunately, Cooper had to make Genevieve believe the act, so he pushed his anger down. Exasperated, he turned to Genevieve and said, “It's as you see, Genev. She is the one I love and the only one I will marry.”

Cooper turned his attention to Armand after that. “It's late. Mr. Faulkner, please help me take Genev home.”

Armand murmured an affirmative reply before heading over to grab Genevieve's bag and lead her out of the room.

Cooper waited until Armand and Genevieve had left before he dropped his smile and picked up the cutlery on the table. “I already have dinner, so you can take everything you brought with you and leave.” He paused for a moment before mercilessly adding, “Also, please never visit again.”

Sally pulled up a chair and sat down before crossing her legs and leaning back. “I just did you a favor, and this is how you repay me? By chasing me away?”

Cooper grabbed the bowl of soup and kept sipping away. It was as though he were pretending that she wasn't there.

Sally saw the half-peeled apple on the table, so she picked it up and continued peeling it.

Her gaze was aimed downward, and her voice was stoic when she said, “My aim and gunmanship are on point. The bullet I fired wouldn't have missed my target's head, so I can say for sure that I'm not the one who shot you.”

“You may not be the one who shot me, but you are still the one who fired first,” growled Cooper as he slammed his bowl of soup onto the table. He had a scowl on the entire time he spoke.

The situation at the time had everyone on edge, so no one dared to make the first move. However, Sally, who was hidden in the shadows, had fired her gun.

If Harry hadn't dashed forward, Genevieve would've been dead.

Sally replied, “Even if I wasn't the one who shot first, Zephyr would still kill everyone after grabbing those diamonds.”

Cooper was too tired to listen to her excuses, so he grinned evilly. “Armand wasn't there at the time, so he doesn't know the specifics of what happened. What do you think will happen to the Loake family if he were to discover those details? You killed the President of the Carlo family, so in a way, you have avenged Ethan's death. That means I'm no longer your tool and am free to share whatever information I want with whomever I want.”

Cooper had only struck a deal with Sally to protect Genevieve. That was why he had volunteered to be the bait.

He also thought that Zephyr wasn't dumb enough to come all the way to Chanaea to hurt Genevieve. It simply didn't make any sense. After all, Zephyr knew just how powerful Genevieve's maternal family and Armand were.

Under normal circumstances, shouldn't I be so furious that I slap that woman across her face or something? Why did I leave just like that?

“What are you doing? I want to head back there to teach that homewrecker a lesson,” complained Genevieve.

“You can do that the next time you run into her,” replied Armand. “You don't like the pungent smell of disinfectants in the hospital, anyway.”

The inpatient department had many long-term patients who had to stay there to receive treatment. Hence, the smell of disinfectant was heavier there. It also reeked of different medications, so Genevieve did feel rather uncomfortable there.

They had stayed in Cooper's room for quite some time before they left, so the scent of disinfectants lingered on them.

Armand fished a small tin box out of his pocket. He got two pieces of candy out of it and handed them to Genevieve. She hesitated for a moment before accepting them.

When she popped them into her mouth, she realized they were cherry blossom-flavored candies that were sweet and fragrant.

The discomfort Genevieve felt faded when those candies melted in her mouth. Curious, she asked, “Have I ever told you that I dislike the smell of disinfectants?”
