In the morning, Cooper saw Sally having breakfast at the dining table when he came out of his room after washing up.

There were oatmeal and buns on the table, so it seemed like she had gone out to buy breakfast.

Cooper then walked toward the dining table and pulled the chair opposite her for himself. Neither of them spoke, and only the occasional sound of utensils knocking on the porcelain plates could be heard.

After breakfast, Cooper gave a card to Sally and said, “There's quite an amount of money in there. From now on, don't go to the club anymore.”

Sally lowered her head and glanced at the card before shifting her gaze back toward him. “Are you going to provide for me from now on?”

Cooper froze momentarily and rubbed his brows. “That's not something I'm interested in doing. I'm giving you money so that you can find yourself a place to stay. It's not like you can bother the Gaudette family at the moment.”

“That sounds great.” Sally lowered her head and finished her bowl of oatmeal.

Seeing that, Cooper said, “This is my condominium.”

Sally put her bowl down and lowered her cold gaze. “I'm staying here so that I can be your bodyguard and protect you.”


“I don't need a bodyguard.” Cooper frowned and added, “No one's going to target me.”

In an indifferent tone, Sally uttered, “My father may be in trouble, but I'm not as pitiful as you think. I don't need sympathy.”

With that, she brought her bowl and utensils to the kitchen.

A while later, Cooper saw her coming out of the kitchen and heading toward the exit. She took her coat from the rack and changed her shoes before leaving the place unhesitatingly.

Cooper watched the door close behind her before seeing the card on the dining table. Evidently, she left without taking the card.

A long while later, he took his jacket and keys before heading out the door.

It was snowing since the day before, and it didn't stop till the early hours of the following morning. When Cooper drove out of the garage, he saw that the residential area was completely covered in snow, but the snow on the road had already been cleared earlier on.

Upon leaving the residential area, he saw Sally ambling along the road with her collars covering half of her face and her hands in her pockets.

The residential area was under tight security. Hence, anyone without a car could only hail a taxi on the main road.

Cooper glanced at her and looked away. However, his car's dashboard indicated that the temperature outside the car was sub-zero. Besides, it was even colder due to the melting snow.

Seeing that Sally was only wearing a thin coat, Cooper furrowed his brows and pulled the car to the side of the road.

He then slowly stopped his car right beside Sally and honked.

When Sally halted in her tracks, Cooper stepped out of the car and passed the car key to her when he was walking toward the passenger side.

“Let's go to Swallow Garden,” he said.

In Swallow Garden, Amanda was wearing a beautiful white winter dress and a pair of gloves. At that moment, she was building a snowman, and Lucian was helping her.
