CHAPTER 203: CHAPTER 204: MARRIAGE, ENGAGEMENT OR COHABITATION (2)

"So you mean, we should get married first?"

Married?!

Vera Wave widened her eyes. "You and me?"

"Is there anyone else here?"

"No...this..." Vera stammered, struggling for words. "This...isn’t it too fast? We don’t know each other well enough yet..."

They had known each other for less than two weeks, and only a day after making their relationship official, he was already talking about marriage. The pace was a bit too much for Vera to keep up with.

"What about an engagement first?"

What?!

Now he’s talking about an engagement?!

"No, that’s not it..." Vera turned her face to look at Kris Cooper, who was driving. "But...I haven’t even met your parents yet..."

"You’ll meet them tonight."

"No, I mean...this is all...just too fast... Can we take it slow, please?"

Kris Cooper thought for a moment. "Marriage, engagement, cohabitation...pick one."

"Then I choose cohabitation!" Vera responded without hesitation.

He grinned. "As you wish."

Seeing his smirk, Vera instantly realized she’d been tricked.

"Kris Cooper, you did it on purpose, didn’t you? No...I want a do-over."

"So, are you choosing engagement or marriage?"

"I choose eng—wait a minute!" Vera pouted. "I choose neither! We should start by dating."

"Then you must agree to live in the old house."

Since he had already compromised so much, Vera found it hard to refuse.

"Just because I’ll live there doesn’t mean I’ve accepted that house."

Kris Cooper laughed and nodded. "Alright!"

Anyway, I have the keys, he thought. I’ll just go over and stay every day. I bought it, so she can’t kick me out. Next, I just need to kiss her until she’s dazed and carry her to bed. Then, when a little baby comes along, we’ll have a shotgun wedding. As for whether the house is mine or hers, it’ll be marital property after we marry, so it won’t matter.

"Also..." Vera remembered something else and quickly added, "We need to keep our marriage... no, our relationship secret. I don’t want people at the company to think I’m getting ahead because of you. Besides, if you decide to break up with me someday, it won’t be too awkward for me."

Kris Cooper had been listening with a smile, but when he heard the words "break up," his eyebrows shot up.

"You’re still thinking about breaking up with me?"

"No, I mean...what if you stop liking me one day and fall for someone else?"

Just like Harry Snowpine...

But it’s strange. Why don’t I feel sad at all when I think about Harry Snowpine now?

Could I be such a fickle woman?!

"Don’t worry!" Kris Cooper pulled the car over to the side of the road. He reached out his large hand and gently ran his fingers through her hair. "I won’t stop liking you. So, you don’t have to think about the issue of breaking up. Wait for me here, I’ll go get you breakfast."

He quickly pushed open the car door and got out. Vera turned her head to watch his tall figure disappear into a fast-food restaurant by the roadside.

Many people were lining up in the fast-food restaurant. Kris Cooper glanced at his watch, took out his wallet, grabbed a handful of bills, and casually tossed them onto the floor.

He shouted, "Look, money on the floor!"

The people in line turned their heads. Seeing the cash on the ground, they froze for a moment, then bent down to pick it up.

He walked up to the young cashier, who was staring blankly, and placed a large bill on the counter.

"One breakfast set, please. Keep the change!"

While everyone was still bent over picking up the money, Kris Cooper swiftly returned to the car with the purchased breakfast and handed it to Vera.
