"You found it amusing," Dallas Taylor responded politely, "just a personal matter."
Aurora Cooper knowingly smiled, glanced at Koa Jackson, and asked Mia Ginger with a smile, "Is this your boyfriend?"
"Yes." Mia felt she was being rescued from the situation, took Koa’s arm, and introduced, "This is my boyfriend, Koa Jackson. This is, um..."
She looked up and smiled at Koa, "Didn’t I run into Mr. Bradley Cooper on the street yesterday? Chairman Cooper is Mr. Cooper’s sister. We t by accident yesterday because I accidentally stepped on her foot..."
Last night, she only ntioned Bradley Cooper and did not bring up Aurora Cooper.
Koa thought for a mont, his expression softened, and he smiled, "Hello, I’ve heard so much about you."
Aurora nodded with a smile, "This girl is very likable, sensible, and thoughtful of you."
"Yes."
"It’s cold at night, we won’t stay long. Goodbye." After speaking, Aurora glanced at the several people who followed and then headed towards the parking area.
With this interruption, both Koa and Dallas let out a sigh of relief.
Olivia Williams shivered while holding her coat, and said softly, "It’s too cold, cousin, let’s get in the car."
Dallas lowered his eyes to look at her, responding, "Okay."
Turning around, he also left.
Olivia lagged behind, placing a hand over her chest, and turned to smile at Mia.
Mia poked Koa’s arm and smiled, "It’s so cold outside, let’s go back too."
Koa stood there, saying nothing.
He felt a bit stifled.
He suddenly felt that Mia was still very distant from him.
Besides the situation with the Ginger Family, he seed to know nothing about her life.
How were her grades in school, how was her relationship with classmates, did she have any positions?
Her friendships, her contacts.
How had she been living all these years, what were her plans and dreams for the future?
He heard from Windsor Myres during a al that she beca the class monitor, perford well during military training, was valued by instructors and teachers, liked by classmates.
Her adoptive mother’s suicide, a friend’s death, and being injured by Charlotte Chester were things he discovered by accident.
Even bumping into Aurora Cooper on the street, such a small incident, she hadn’t divulged to him.
Mia, she—
What exactly did she take him for?
Koa silently stood there, feeling uneasy, and just as he was about to pull his arm away, Caiden Ward appeared in his sight.
He seed to have spent extra ti at the auction, acquiring several items.
Koa thought casually and smiled as Caiden approached.
Caiden also curved his lips into a smile, "Why haven’t you left? Don’t tell you two were waiting here just for ."
"We were about to leave," Koa replied coolly, suppressing his smile.
Blair Chester, holding Caiden’s arm, stood right next to him, glanced at Mia without a word, her feelings tangled.
Koa had won the Angel’s Wings, which was like a slap to her face.
She had comforted herself with the thought that Koa was just a doctor, and no matter how well-off his family was, even if he had ties to Caiden, it wouldn’t be anything extravagant.
Little did she know—
That just during a restroom break, she accidentally learned about his background.
