Right then, Sally turned around and informed, “My men have found out that the biological research lab's backer is in Lostaria. Coincidentally, I'm going to escort Mr. Gordon to Lostaria to deal with some matters. Since Mr. Gordon is going to be there for two weeks, I'll have time to check on the backer.”

Cooper had told her long ago about the people who contacted Jerry, looking for the rare blood type. After all, it was more efficient to have one more person on the mission.

He just never expected Sally's men to have already located the backer when there was no progress from his side yet.

Cooper frowned. Before he could say anything, Sally had walked over, stood on her tiptoes, and hugged him, planting a kiss on his lips.

Just like that, the sexual desires he had been suppressing were triggered, and he lowered his head to kiss her back.

Sally was usually cold and assertive, like a rose with thorns. However, she was quite flexible in bed and went along with whatever Cooper wanted.

As a man, it was only natural for him to be satisfied by how submissive she was.

When they were done with their business in bed, Cooper carried her to the bathroom and took a simple shower before placing her into the bathtub filled with water. Following that, Sally lay her head on his chest, revealing the side view of her gentle-looking face.

Tracing her fair skin with his fingers, he asked plainly, “When are you leaving?”

“Tomorrow.”

He hummed a response. “I'll take you to the airport.”

“Okay,” Sally agreed.

Suddenly, she got up from his arms and sat up facing him. As she studied his emotionless eyes, she slid her finger between his brows.

She breathed, “Do you know why I chose you? It's because we're the same.”

They had both lost the people they loved, and their hearts were filled with emptiness.

By the time Genevieve returned from the team-building event, the weekend had arrived. Genevieve wanted to visit the two children, so she woke up early that morning to get ready.

Meanwhile, Armand did not rush her. He waited patiently for her to be ready before preparing breakfast.

Genevieve wore a short-sleeved denim dress with white letters printed on it. Her dark hair was tied up with a butterfly hair clip, with beautiful chains of pearls weaved among the locks of hair. It was an intricate and beautiful sight.

When she came out of the room, she spread her arms and twirled to show Armand her outfit. “Do I look elegant in this? Will they like it?”

Amusement shone in Armand's eyes. “You've always been pretty. You look good in everything.”

Genevieve was pleased with his reply.

After having breakfast, Armand drove Genevieve to Swallow Garden. Along the way, she kept muttering to herself, wondering if it was too inappropriate to show up empty-handed when it was her first time meeting the children.
