A father knows his son best.
On one side was his long-lost lover, and on the other was his father. Christoper Cooper didn’t need to guess; he knew how much his son struggled that night.
Taking a step forward, he used his arm to half-embrace his son’s back and patted him gently.
"Go, explain to your mom, don’t let her worry. You’re not a kid anymore; you’re a man now!"
"Okay."
Kris Cooper responded softly and turned around to walk towards the door.
"Kris!" Christoper Cooper called out to him from behind.
Kris Cooper turned his face back to look at his father.
"Girls have delicate thoughts, sotis you need a bit of patience; don’t always be so rash."
"Got it." Kris Cooper nodded with a smile, turned back and grabbed the doorknob, and looked back at Christoper Cooper again, "Dad, thank you!"
"Brat!" Christoper Cooper rolled his eyes at him, "If you’re capable, bring your wife ho soon, so your mom can worry less."
"Don’t worry, you won’t have to wait too long!" Kris Cooper smiled as he opened the door, and upon seeing Bailey Hansen pacing in the hallway, imdiately walked over, opened his arms, and hugged her, "Mom, sorry for disturbing your beauty sleep, it’s just that there was sothing at the company, so I ca over early to ask Dad!"
"Is everything okay now?"
"Yeah!"
"You little rascal, you drive crazy every day!" Bailey Hansen punched him, then covered her nose and pushed him away, "Hurry up and take a bath; you’re stinky!"
"Okay, I’ll go take a shower then!"
He gave his mom a kiss on the forehead, turned around, and trotted upstairs with a light step.
Christoper Cooper ca out laughing, "Stinky boy, always taking advantage of my wife!"
"Are you sure everything’s alright?" Bailey Hansen asked.
"Nothing to worry about, don’t you know your son by now? He can’t handle the smallest problem, unlike his dad who’s calm even if the sky falls." Christoper Cooper ca over, put an arm around her shoulders, and yawned, "Wifey, let’s go take a nap?"
"I’m not a bun!" Bailey Hansen pushed Christoper Cooper’s hand away, "I’m going to check if breakfast is ready and ask Mrs. Zhang to make so bird’s nest porridge to nourish him."
Christoper Cooper yawned while leaning against the hallway wall, "Rember to make a bowl for too; I also need so nourishnt."
"I don’t care about you!" Bailey Hansen replied without looking back, and went downstairs.

The Wave Clan’s old house.
Vera Wave sat on the steps hugging her knees, looking at the garden growing gradually brighter, her eyes still filled with confusion.
"Vera?" Early-rising Grandma Wave saw her and imdiately walked over, "This child...get up, it’s cold on the ground! Girls might catch a cold...co on, get up!"
"Grandma!" Vera Wave quickly wiped her face and stood up, "How co you’re up so early?"
"Old now, sleep less, can’t sleep well," Grandma Wave said, her gaze falling on Vera’s face, "Why are you up so early too?"
"I..." Vera Wave hesitated for a mont and then spoke, "I...I had a dream, and couldn’t get back to sleep after waking up."
"Silly child, dreams are all false, it’s fine once you wake up."
Grandma Wave said it casually, but to Vera’s ears, it had a different aning.
Yes, dreams are all false!
"Co, co!" Grandma Wave pulled her over to the pond, took so fish food, and handed it to her, "Help Grandma feed the fish. When you were little, after having nightmares, you liked to secretly feed Grandma’s fish, and ended up feeding them to death!"
