My Husband Is a Gary Stu

Amused, Cooper pushed his chair backward and rose to his feet.

He then approached Sally and slightly bent forward to invite her to dance. Sally hesitated for a moment before putting her hand in his.

Under the lights, the couple danced gracefully to the music. Needless to say, the atmosphere was utterly romantic.

“No wonder Amanda and Genevieve seldom fought. The kids are so good at romance.” Sally smiled.

Cooper smiled as well and said, “Exactly. I'm an adult, but even I'm not as good as they are.”

After the music ended, Amanda trotted toward them and uttered sweetly, “Although you're not wearing a gown, you still look so pretty when you dance, Aunt Sally. You're like an angel!”

“Thank you.” Sally patted Amanda's head and added, “You're so good with the violin, Mandy.”

Amanda was proud of herself after getting praised. Seeing that Cooper and Sally were holding hands as they returned to the table, Amanda couldn't help chuckling with her mouth covered. Uncle Cooper and Aunt Sally have reconciled! I'm a genius!

Earlier on, Lucian had already contacted the movie theater and booked a room for couples. He also told the staff at the movie theater to play a romantic movie for them.

Amanda was young, but she could tell when the people around her weren't on good terms. However, she quickly dozed off in her seat minutes after the movie started playing.

Lucian was never fond of watching romance films, so he, too, fell asleep twenty minutes into the movie.

The movie only ended after midnight. Amanda and Lucian were still fast asleep, so Cooper and Sally had to carry the kids home.

Upon arriving home, Sally wiped Amanda's face and hands with a warm towel before tucking her in.

Just when she was about to go to the bathroom, she saw Cooper standing at the door.

Seeing that Cooper was keeping mum and staring at her, Sally went to close the door and asked him, “What's up?”

“You know why Amanda brought us out for dinner and a movie, right?” Cooper walked up to Sally. They were so close to each other that they could feel each other's breath on their faces.

“I'll be more careful in the future.” Sally was practically breathing in Cooper's breath.

He then held her face and lowered his head to kiss her. However, Sally raised her hand to cover his lips before turning her head away.

“I don't mind.” Cooper knew what she was afraid of. Besides, he also knew Sally hadn't been in the mood ever since she returned. That was why he had been giving her the space she needed.

In the next second, he wrapped his arm around her waist and pulled her in.

Lowering his head, he whispered into her ear, “I've been with several women before you, and my relationships with them were all long-term. You knew about it, but you were never bothered.”

“I might recall what happened that day.” Sally shut her eyes and stammered, “I'm afraid I have a phobia now.”

At the moment, she was even hoping that the person who took advantage of her that day was merely a stranger.
