Chapter 1189
Sally followed his line of sight, and her gaze landed on the teddy bear before darting back to Cooper. Her features
scrunched up with annoyance as though she wanted to scold him, but she appeared too lazy to do so.
With a chuckle, Cooper said, “You look even more alike now.”
Sally didn't respond to his teasing.
Cooper reached for her hand and led her to the flower shop. “Let's go and have a look. We came out to have fun
anyway.”
The sales campaign was held to attract customers and increase the shop's sales, so the games weren't challenging.
A majority of customers could easily win them.
When Cooper and Sally made it to the final challenge, only six couples were left.
However, the last challenge was slightly more difficult. The men would have to kiss their significant others as they
carried them.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThe couple that could hold out until the end would walk away with the prize.
Sally didn't mind intimacy in their private moments but disliked showing affection under the scrutiny of the public.
She wanted to get Cooper to leave, but he was already casually rolling up his sleeves. He took off his glasses and
slid them into his pocket. Without the lens obscuring his eyes, he looked gentler.
Cooper coaxed, “Come on. This is the last challenge already. It'll be such a waste to walk away now.”
Cooper was a businessman, and throughout his career, he had never left in the midst of a contract signing.
Before Sally could react, the challenge had started.
Cooper hunched down and slid an arm beneath Sally's knees, easily swooping her into his arms.
Sally's nose brushed the collar of his sweater and caught a waft of his faint yet delicious scent. Once again, she
spotted the faint hickey on his neck.
Before embarrassment flooded her, Cooper's voice interrupted her thought. “You're much lighter than before.”
Even though he didn't carry her much, he still noticed the change in her weight.
He then said, “I'll have Melissa make some mushroom soup later.”
Sally stayed silent.
The other couples started kissing. When the flower shop manager saw Cooper was still dilly-dallying, she joked that
Cooper and Sally would lose if they didn't start kissing soon.
Cooper lowered his head to Sally. She could feel his breaths tickling her forehead. “Do you want to kiss me, or
should I do it?”
“I'm not choosing from those two options,” she refused coolly.
Cooper ignored her rejection and warned, “If I kiss you, I might not be able to control myself and end the challenge
earlier.”
“That teddy bear is pretty cute, and we're already here. It'll be a pity if we don't take it back with us.” His gaze
roamed Sally's face before he stated, “I'll kiss you if you still refuse to move.”
With that said, he moved as though he was about to kiss her. Sally immediately threw her arms around his neck
and raised her head to meet his lips. Her eyes were closed, but her quivering lashes betrayed her nervousness.
Soon, a couple threw in the towel as fatigue took over.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmFollowing the first couple, several more gave up soon after. The prize was merely a teddy bear which didn't cost
much. It wasn't much of a motivation for other contestants to put in all their effort.
Five minutes later, another couple gave up, and Cooper and Sally were the winners.
When the flower shop manager passed the teddy bear and roses to Cooper, she praised, “The two of you must love
each other very much for being so into the kiss.”
Sally kept quiet, but her ears were flushed from having the public's eyes on her during an intimate moment.
Seeing the tinge of pink on her tiny earlobes, Cooper teased, “I thought you didn't know what embarrassment was,
Ms. Loake.”
Then, he handed the teddy bear to Sally. “Here, your prize.”
Sally studied the teddy bear but couldn't see the similarities between it and her. “I'm not a child. I don't like fluffy
toys like this,” she said indifferently.
Cooper put the tortoises in the trunk and flashed her a smile. “Then, be a child just for today.”
He might've blurted it nonchalantly just to coax Sally, but those words were like a rock thrown into a calm pool. It
elicited ripples in her heart and destroyed her calm. An indescribable feeling surged within her.
