Chapter 1202
Sally shifted her gaze between the bowl of grapes and Cooper. She was about to say something when the screen of
his phone on the table lit up.
It was an incoming call from Bertilla.
The call was probably about work as Cooper went upstairs in a hurry shortly after answering the phone.
In order to make the grapes taste even better, he had added some ice cubes into the glass bowl.
Sally picked one of the grapes up with a fork and stuffed it into her mouth.
The sweetness of the grape filled her tongue almost instantly, and the coolness from the ice cubes only amplified
its flavors even more.
Cooper was so busy with work that he remained in his study throughout the rest of the afternoon. He stepped out
for a quick meal during dinner but went back to work in the study immediately after.
Sally knew better than to disturb him at a time like this, so she helped Amanda build Lego castles in the living room
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtinstead. At about nine in the evening, she brought the kids to their bedroom upstairs before returning to hers.
It was already ten by the time she was done showering, and yet. Cooper was still busy working.
After putting on a robe, Sally whipped up a bowl of oatmeal and brought it over to the study.
Cooper was so absorbed in his work that he didn't even hear her knocking on the door.
It wasn't until Sally placed the bowl down on his desk that he caught a whiff of the oatmeal's fragrant smell and
looked up at her.
“Carry on with your work,’’ Sally said as she prepared to step out of the study.
Having just ended a long video conference. Cooper's voice sounded a little hoarse when he called out to her, “You
don't look like you're about to sleep anytime soon. How about you give me a shoulder massage?”
“I've never even given my father a shoulder massage,” Sally replied.
Cooper arched an eyebrow at her in response. “Are you that much of a failure as a daughter?”
Sally stared intently at him as she recalled the bowl of grapes from earlier that afternoon. After giving it some
thought, she made her way around the table and stood behind him.
She then placed her hands on Cooper's shoulders and began massaging them.
Because the amount of force she used was just right, Cooper's stiff shoulders soon relaxed as he shifted his gaze
back toward the computer screen.
The study was so quiet that the sounds of him typing on the keyboard were all that filled the room.
Cooper was finally done working on the documents at about half past eleven. He then turned around in his chair
and pulled Sally onto liis lap.
Her body exuded a faint fragrance of the herbal shampoo she used during her shower, and the robe she wore
exposed a small part of her collarbones.
“Are the kids asleep?” Cooper asked while tucking her hair behind her ear.
“Yeah. They went to bed at around nine-thirty,” Sally replied.
Feeling a little ticklish from Cooper rubbing his finger against her cheek, Sally grabbed his hand and pinned it down
as she continued, “It was Mr. Zane who called me earlier this afternoon.”
Apparently, someone had secretly taken pictures of her and Cooper being arrested by the plain-clothes police

Those pictures soon spread like wildfire on the internet while they were being interrogated at the police station.
Not only did it affect Specter Corporation's stock prices, but commenters had also speculated that Sally and Cooper
were arrested for working together to murder Stefan.
Robert was unable to be reinstated with the Gaudette family in the way, so he couldn't get the two of them out of
the police station.
He called as soon as he heard about Cooper being acquitted and released from police custody.
After explaining everything to Cooper, Sally added, “So, I was indeed speaking to a man on the phone. Does that
make you jealous?”
Cooper let out a chuckle as he replied, “I'm not about to get jealous of a married man in his fifties.”
Pulling Sally into his arms, he kissed her repeatedly on the neck. The faint fragrance of her shampoo got his blood
pumping like crazy.
He looked up at her and asked, “You're doing this on purpose, aren't you?”
"Hmm?”
“We'll talk about this in the study of my condominium. It's not appropriate to do so while we're at someone else's
place,” Cooper replied as he reached behind her knees and scooped her into his arms.
That was when Sally realized what Cooper meant by that question of his.
