My Husband Is a Gary Stu
Chapter 1134
“It's because General Zeigler is still unconscious in the hospital, and Armand is no longer here. Otherwise, Beatrix wouldn't have been so arrogant at the mall that day,” Sally surmised.
Speaking of that, she dipped her eyes and pinned her gaze on Cooper. “Do you think Armand didn't know about the Gaudette family's ambition when he was so smart?”
“He naturally knew when even both of us could tell. But he had never been interested in going into politics. Besides, he was but a man. There was no way he could prepare for every eventuality,” Cooper answered calmly.
The only person he cared about was his wife, Genevieve, so much so that he would head to death with her without an ounce of hesitation.
When he was done doctoring Sally's injury, he suddenly divulged, “It wasn't Ethan's heart. Robert knew about it, yet he never said a word and used Armand all along.”
“I know. Mr. Zane told me when he went to prison,” Sally admitted.
Like Robert, she didn't want Ethan to be dissected in death, so relief suffused her when she learned that the man was cremated whole.
At some point in time, she had seemingly let some things go.
Cooper's gaze shifted from her wrist to her face. “Was your eagerness to save Mandy back at the snow play area, even going as far as suffering a wrist fracture, a show for my benefit?”
Sally held his gaze. “Why would I do that?”
“To garner my sympathy.”
Despite Sally's great control over her emotions, his words still had her letting out a bark of laughter in vexation. “Mr. Sutton, we only got married because we have the same goal. Is there a need for me to curry favor with your niece to garner your sympathy?”
Cooper put on his glasses that had been wiped clean, appearing gentle and elegant. “That's not entirely impossible.”
At that, the corners of Sally's mouth twitched. “I find that you're pretty... narcissistic.”
Leaning forward, she closed the distance between them, her eyes bright and clear.
“Even if you hadn't sought me out for a collaboration, Mr. Sutton, I still had a way to deal with the Gaudette family. General Zeigler has a few unmarried grandsons, including Miles at the space agency and Yuvan, who's running a large-scale art gallery. Yuvan's father is Commander Zeigler, and my father's relationship with him is pretty good. Say, will the Zeigler family protect me?” she analyzed mildly.
Then, she continued, “I protected Mandy because she's adorable, and I like her a lot.” Pausing for a moment, she wept her gaze over the man. “It wasn't because I wanted to garner your sympathy.”
“It looks like I was indeed too narcissistic.” Chuckling, Cooper grabbed the back of her neck and pulled her toward him.
Her eyelashes quivering, Sally lowered her head and kissed him.
It was a whim on Cooper's part, so the kiss merely lasted for a brief second.
After leaning back, he brushed a finger against her lips, only to find it slightly cool. “Why are your lips always cold?”
“Because I was born with a cold constitution,” Sally replied expressionlessly. She pushed his hand away and stood up.
Feeling a touch parched, she went to the bar and snagged a bottle of mineral water.
