Kris Cooper raised his hand and gestured to him, then Tommy Taylor exited the office.
Opening Liliana Davis’s file, Kris Cooper studied it carefully.
From the information, it seems that after Liliana Davis divorced Nathan Leafcastle’s father, she went through a very difficult period, transitioning from a penniless single mother to where she is today. Her life is indeed a legend.
Putting down Liliana Davis’s file, Kris Cooper picked up the heavy roster on the table.
Just as he opened it, the phone in his pocket vibrated.
The screen displayed the words ’Mom’, and he smiled as he answered the call, imdiately placing the phone back on the table.
As soon as the call was connected, Bailey Hansen’s voice ca through bluntly.
"You rascal, you stinky brat... You’ve grown wings now, don’t even consider your parents, huh?... Proposing in public, real romantic... Such a big event and you didn’t even ntion it to us, what kind of son does that?"
Then, Christoper Cooper’s voice chid in, "Pick up the phone."
Upon hearing this, Bailey Hansen imdiately started scolding, "You dare not answer my call?!"
"Kris Cooper!"
Christoper Cooper’s voice carried a stern tone.
Only then did Kris Cooper pick up the phone and bring it to his ear.
"Yes!"
"What’s your attitude?!" Bailey Hansen scolded again.
"Queen Queen, don’t forget, the main point." Christoper Cooper reminded with a laugh from the side.
"I’m so mad at this kid." Bailey Hansen huffed, "Kris Cooper, I really can’t understand you. You said you’re dating soone, fine, but do you have to keep it a secret from us? The whole world knows now, and we’re the last to find out. If I could get my hands on you now, see how I’d punish you!"
"Queen, can you give him a chance to speak?"
Christoper Cooper reminded again.
"Hmph!" Bailey Hansen huffed again, "Fine, go ahead."
Kris Cooper raised his left hand, gently rubbing the wedding ring on his finger. This man, who was usually frivolous in front of Bailey Hansen, spoke in a rare, deep tone.
"Mom, I love her! I hope you and Dad can bless us!"
On the other end of the line, Bailey Hansen was silent for a mont, then took a deep breath.
"I understand, young people nowadays advocate for marriage freedom and love freedom. Mom supports you dating, but... you’ve known each other for just over a month, isn’t it a bit rushed?"
Kris Cooper lazily leaned back on the chair, a teasing tone in his voice.
"My dear mom, I recall you and Dad didn’t take long from eting to getting married, right?"
"I’m talking about you, don’t divert by talking about , be serious!" Bailey Hansen teased back, then her tone softened uncommon, "Son, Mom has hoped all these years that you’d find soone, find your person. But Mom has no intention of forcing marriage. If there isn’t anyone suitable, Mom won’t force you, nor does she want you to compromise."
Years ago, Kris Cooper’s situation was sothing Bailey Hansen and Christoper Cooper had been aware of.
Bailey Hansen always worried that the incident may have impacted her son, hence sudden news of his marriage raised concern.
Kris Cooper never ntioned that event to his parents, but he knew they must be aware. They have always stayed silent, not wanting to reopen his wound.
Bailey Hansen’s words hinted at their knowledge.
Standing up from the chair, walking towards the window, Kris Cooper gazed outside at the bright afternoon and took a deep breath.
"Mom, she is the girl from back then."
