A Vengeful Ex-Wife novel Chapter 465

James was a man, and yet he was willing to live within the confines of JT Nunnery in order to woo a woman. It was indeed true love.

James patted Cooper's shoulder and said, "I'll have to woo Maria first. And when she comes back, I'll give you a long vacation."

Cooper was at a loss for words. 'Am I supposed to believe that?'

A while later, James decided to go back to his room and rest. Only Cooper was left in the living room now.

He stood in front of the window, staring at the night view while holding a glass of wine.

He could still remember the last time he saw Sandra three months ago. She made him a steak and joked, "Once you've eaten the steak, you'll be mine."

Unfortunately, he didn't respond to that.

He was so indulged in his work that he didn't have any spare time on his hands. Every single time, Sandra was the one who took the initiative to see him. He, on the other hand, couldn't even find the time to respond.

After gulping down his wine, he decided to carry on with his work.

The following morning, once Maria was done with her meditation, she started looking for Coy. She saw him playing with a woman in pink.

With a smile, she greeted, "Sandra, you're here."

"Maria! Are you done with your meditation?" Sandra asked as she turned around and smiled back at her.

"Yup."

Stroking Coy's head, Sandra said to the boy, "Coy, I need to talk to your mom, okay?"

The boy nodded and answered, "Okay!"

"Good boy!" It was safe in the nunnery, so there was no need for Maria to worry about her son's safety.

After the boy had left, Sandra let out a sigh. "Maria, are you really at peace here?"

"I am." Maria looked back at her and noticed the forlorn look on her face.

"Maria, I'm here to tell you that I'm tired, and I want to give up on Cooper,"

Sandra said. "I've been in love with him for over four years.

And he's been back to H City more than three years. All this time, I've done my best to get closer to him, but I still haven't received any response. It makes me feel so frustrated." Sandra started laughing at herself.

While they were talking, they walked along a stone path. Maria just listened as her friend rambled on.

"If I didn't know what kind of person he is, I would assume that I'm just a back-up, a just-in-case." But she knew him well. His private life was pristine.

Because of HL Group, his social status had skyrocketed over the past two years, and he had refused many women who tried to get close to him.

But out of all those women, she was the one who had never been refused directly.

Sadly, this kind of life was exhausting.

"I've tried so many times, but I just couldn't stay away from him. I think this time, I really have to leave." Sandra gazed into the distant horizon; her eyes laden with confusion.

Maria had also asked Cooper about his relationship with Sandra, but he never gave her a clear answer. And so, she couldn't figure out how to comfort Sandra.

Sandra looked down at her toes, listening to the sound of the bell from nearby. She tried to make her voice sound nonchalant. "Believe me, I give up. I'm going to marry another man, have a baby, and live happily ever after."

Despite the strength of her love, it was still defeated by his dedication to his career and love for his family.

"Sandra, perhaps you should wait a little longer. I know how stressful it can be to lead an entire company alone, especially a company like HL Group. Now that James has regained consciousness, it means that Cooper would soon be relieved of some of his duties. And once he relaxes a little bit, maybe he'll start thinking about your relationship."

Sandra wore a wry smile. "Maria, it's just as you said. You're not sure either, right? If he does love me, why hasn't he thought about our relationship yet? I'm giving up because I don't want to put too much pressure on us. As my mother once told me, I don't have to be with Cooper. She has already chosen a suitable man for me. I'm going on a blind date. Honestly, I don't want to go, but my mother kept crying about it."

Sandra's mother wanted to distract her, so she was forcing her to go on a blind date.

"You know, nothing forcibly done will ever be agreeable. I support your decisions one hundred percent as long as it makes you happy," said Maria. If Sandra and Cooper weren't destined to be together, nobody could force them to do so.

Sandra embraced Maria. "Thank you, Maria. Thanks for always trying to understand me. You're nothing like my roommates. They scolded me when they found out that I'm giving up on him."

Maria chuckled. "Cooper is indeed a good man, whether it's as a boyfriend or a husband. Your roommates were probably just feeling sorry for you."
