CHAPTER 411: CHAPTER 421 TURBULENCE RESURFACES (3)

"It’s alright, I don’t have anything to do this afternoon either."

"Didn’t you say on the phone that you needed to buy something? That you’d arranged to meet someone?"

"Nope." Mia Ginger smiled, "I just said that so he wouldn’t worry about me."

"..." Aurora Cooper paused for a moment, then said to Amy, "Nowadays, sensible young girls like her are really rare. That girl Margot, getting a boyfriend and not stirring up trouble is already good enough, yet she finds new ways to make a fuss every day."

"Isn’t that the truth." Amy also smiled suddenly, echoing, "My cousin’s the same; her boyfriend has to be available at her beck and call."

Mia Ginger didn’t say anything, biting her lip with a shy smile.

Aurora watched her, feeling that the girl really was thin-skinned and couldn’t bear to tease anymore.

In the warm interior, drinking coffee, Amy’s previous reproach towards her dissipated.

The three of them chatted casually for a bit more.

Then got up to leave.

Mia Ginger was originally going to pay, but under their insistence, she gave up.

Amy went to settle the bill.

She and Aurora stepped out of the coffee house first.

As Mia lowered her head to put on her gloves, she heard a cheerful and excited voice, "Aurora."

"Brother."

Aurora called out, her attitude instantly more affectionate and carefree compared to her earlier conversation, like family reuniting after a long time.

Mia Ginger instinctively looked up.

She froze.

The two people embracing each other let go.

She saw the sharply defined features of the man, further surprised.

Surprised, and a bit startled.

The man who had just hugged Aurora was nearing fifty, a domestic superstar in film, television, and music, blazing in the entertainment circle for twenty years, still irresistibly charming, the powerhouse king of screen and song, Bradley Cooper.

Bradley Cooper.

Creating countless classic screen roles, songs resonating in streets and alleys, winning awards everywhere, known by everyone, that Bradley Cooper.

Though she’d never been a fan, suddenly seeing such a figure, she was overwhelmed with excitement.

When she was very little, she used to watch him swooping around on TV, starry-eyed, drooling.

Mia Ginger was just stunned.

Aurora turned her head and saw her starry-eyed expression.

She was stunned too.

This girl, who had just been shy and composed, quiet and polite.

And now this—

Aurora suddenly laughed, gesturing towards Bradley Cooper, "Ha, this girl’s eyes are glued to you, aren’t you going to give her a signature right now?"

Bradley Cooper just then took notice of Mia Ginger, was momentarily surprised.

Taking a closer look at his long unseen sister, he smiled and asked, "And who might this be?"

"A girl I just got to know." Aurora smiled.

"Oh." Bradley Cooper understood, then turned to Mia Ginger, smiling as he asked, "Pretty lady, may I have the honor of taking a photo with you?"

His voice was warm and rich, like wine, the most full-bodied and fragrant kind, seasoned by time, increasingly intoxicating.

Just listening left Mia Ginger a bit dazed, eagerly nodding, "Sure, thank you, King Cooper."

"Haha." Several people nearby suddenly laughed, looking at her with good-natured expressions.

Mia Ginger still felt a bit thrilled, took out her phone, and tiptoed, trying to get both of them into the frame.

"Let me do it." Bradley Cooper reached for her phone, intentionally stooping a bit to match her height, took several pictures, then smiled and said, "All set, here you go."

"Thank you, sir." Mia Ginger held the phone like a treasure.

With bright, sparkling eyes, she gazed at him, then at the smiling Aurora nearby, shyly saying, "Thank you, Aunt Cooper. I’ve always liked King Cooper since I was little, today’s the first time I’ve met him in person."
