Yolanda Greenwood and Noah Coldson followed the sound and saw Cooper Coldson and lissa Greenwood.
Yolanda looked into their shopping cart, full of red items, obviously preparing for their wedding.
Her heart was filled with bitterness; when she married Cooper, she had nothing.
No wedding dress, no rings, no ceremony, and none of these auspicious items.
That was probably why their marriage had ended so tragically.
Cooper had also noticed Yolanda’s shopping cart with mostly daily necessities, and there were two of each.
The hand pushing his cart suddenly tightened, but it couldn’t help him ignore the gloomy emotion in his heart.
"Yolanda," lissa spoke again, "are you back in Gray City?"
’You’ clearly combined Yolanda and Noah into one entity.
Yolanda, head bowed, did not answer.
"Yes." Noah responded, seeing that Yolanda’s face didn’t look good, he took the initiative to speak, "We’ve finished shopping, we’ll head off first."
He took over the cart, patted Yolanda’s shoulder, and they prepared to leave.
But as they passed by Cooper, he suddenly reached out and grabbed their cart.
The two looked at him, puzzled.
"Half a month left," Cooper said, his gaze cold as he looked at Yolanda, "I hope you’ll show up on ti."
Half a month?
Yolanda paused before realizing that Cooper was referring to confirming the divorce. She nodded, "Don’t worry, I won’t forget."
Noah tried to push the cart away, but noticed Cooper was still not letting go.
He looked at him with heavy eyes, "Cooper, don’t keep your sister-in-law waiting."
Their gazes t in the air, neither speaking, but the atmosphere had noticeably cooled, and the people around consciously gave them space.
"Cooper," lissa clung to him and called out softly.
Then Cooper finally let go, watching Yolanda and Noah leave.
lissa tentatively asked, "Is Yolanda with your brother now?"
Cooper looked at her fiercely, with a scary look in his eyes.
"I ant nothing by it, just that they suddenly appeared together buying daily necessities, and there were double of everything, so..."
Cooper said through his teeth, "My brother’s taste isn’t that bad."
He let go of the cart and turned to leave.
lissa hurriedly reached for him, "Cooper, where are you going? Weren’t you supposed to go shopping with ?"
"Did you co here to shop?" Cooper was clearly out of patience, "There’s business at the company, I’m heading back."
lissa, called out on her scheming, didn’t dare to keep Cooper any longer and simply nodded, "Alright, you go ahead with your work, I can manage on my own."
She watched as Cooper left, stomping her foot in frustration.
Then Athena White and Wendy Bennett, who were hiding on the side, ca over.
"lissa, it’s really you, how co you’re here?" Athena asked puzzled.
According to lissa, Cooper and Yolanda had finally gotten divorced, and Cooper felt he owed lissa a lot, taking care of her ticulously.
But the scene just now... although they hadn’t heard their conversation, the atmosphere seed off.
"I’ve been in this supermarket all along," lissa lied without blinking an eye.
Athena and Wendy exchanged a glance, both doubtful, but opt not to press further out of tact.
Wendy asked curiously, "That man just now, the one with Yolanda, is he Cooper’s older brother?"
lissa nodded.
"Holy shit!" Athena was astonished, "Has Yolanda... cast a spell on the Coldson n? One after another."
lissa looked over with disapproval, "It’s her who has no sha, insisting on clinging to them."
"But just now Young Master Coldson seed very protective of that bitch Yolanda," Athena couldn’t help but question.
Wendy’s eyes lit up, "Could it be that Yolanda is really pregnant? With Cooper’s brother’s child?"
At that, Athena’s jaw could have dropped, "That scandalous? Didn’t she just get divorced from Cooper not long ago?"
Both turned their gaze to lissa.
"No." lissa thought for a mont, "Yolanda isn’t pregnant, stop making wild guesses."
Not wanting to talk further, she pushed her cart and left, "I have other things to do, I’m leaving."
Yolanda and Noah reached the parking lot, and she got into the car while Noah alone packed the bags into the trunk.
And Cooper stood at the entrance of the parking lot, watching everything.
He didn’t erge from the shadows until Noah’s car had left, his expression unsettled.
In the car, Yolanda didn’t say a word, continually looking out the window where flashes of that striking red haunted her sight, guessing that their happy event was near.
Probably, half a month later, once she and Cooper were officially divorced, Cooper would go and register with lissa.
"Yolanda," Noah finally couldn’t help but speak, "about today, Cooper might have misunderstood. If it bothers you, I can explain."
"No need." Yolanda continued looking out the window.
Whether Cooper misunderstood or not, it no longer mattered.
"Yolanda, actually Cooper agreed to marry lissa because..." Noah wanted to tell Yolanda that Cooper had mistaken lissa for the girl from back then.
"Older brother," Yolanda interrupted him unexpectedly, "I don’t want to hear anything to do with them anymore, it’s irrelevant to now."
She suspected Noah wanted them to reconcile for the sake of the child, but how could they?
She was really tired; she just wanted to have her child peacefully and protect them.
"Older brother," Yolanda said firmly, "I will not reconcile with Cooper, and my child has nothing to do with the Coldson family. If you can’t accept that, please don’t show up in our lives again."
Seeing her react so strongly, Noah didn’t continue.
That evening, back at the ancestral ho, to Noah’s surprise, Cooper had also returned.
"Older brother," after dinner, Cooper took Noah out to the balcony, "what is really going on with you and Yolanda?"
He had felt it odd the day they went to Ully Town to rescue soone. He couldn’t understand why Noah was there.
But wanting Yolanda not to know it was he who did the rescue, Cooper had asked Noah to act in his stead, leaving with George Ross himself.
Just thinking of George Ross, he clenched his teeth in anger, although he had broken three of George’s ribs that day, it still didn’t seem enough, the beast was not worth sparing.
"What are you talking about?" Noah asked nonchalantly.
"You know what I an," Cooper said, his anger arising from his nonchalance, "are you into her?"
Noah was unhappy with his tone and retorted, "Why not? You’re divorced now, what kind of life you lead or who you’re with afterwards is none of the other’s business, right?"
"Noah!" Cooper stepped forward and grabbed Noah’s collar, "You’re still the sa, selfish! Never considering others, let alone the Coldson Group!"
