Chapter 1230 I Thought You Liked Gentle Women

Cooper and Tiffany stood in tense silence for a while. Then, she opened her bag and produced a small, dark blue

box, which she handed to him.

“I didn't get to thank you properly for giving me a lift to the wine-tasting event the other day. I saw this necktie

when I was shopping just now and thought it suited you, so I got it,” she explained.

She had been hoping that the necktie would be an opening gambit for conversation for her and Cooper when she

called him earlier that night, but she was caught off guard when someone else, namely Jerry, picked up her call

instead.

When she learned of Cooper's hand injury, she immediately hailed a taxi and hurried to the bar.

Presently, Cooper gave the box a cursory glance and said, “I didn't go out of my way to give you a lift; I was invited

to the event, too.”

Tiffany pursed her lips. “If you hadn't gone, then I would have given the event a miss, too. Besides, I never did get

to thank you for all the times you bought me presents and treated me to meals.” She paused before suggesting, “If

the necktie isn't to your liking, then how about I treat you to dinner tomorrow evening instead?”

Cooper took the box from her when he heard this. “Thank you,” he said briskly.

Tiffany had honestly been hoping that he would turn the necktie down so that they could grab dinner together. She

was admittedly disappointed by his choice, but she quickly recovered and flashed him a smile.

“I'm glad you like it,” she managed.

Steven pulled up in the car soon after that, and Cooper instructed him to drop Tiffany home first.

Tiffany settled into the backseat next to Cooper, and while she appeared to be staring out the window at the night

view, she was actually looking at Cooper's reflection in the glass.

A moment later, she turned and faced him. “Mr. Sutton, I still like you a lot.”

She had been drawn to his intellectual air and elegant mannerisms since they first spoke to each other. As far as

she was concerned, no other man she'd met could hold a light to him.

In all fairness, anyone would fall for a wealthy and successful man like Cooper.

Without waiting for his response, Tiffany added, “And for what it's worth, I absolutely adore Mandy and Lucian. As

their teacher, I am perfectly capable of taking care of them, whether in school or at home.”

She stopped and assessed him briefly. “Admit it, Mr. Sutton, you like me, too.” If he didn't, then he would not have

given her flowers or bought her meals.

We would have gotten our marriage license on the same day he gave me the ring if that woman hadn't interrupted

us!

Meanwhile, Cooper was frustrated as the events back at the bar played through his mind. All he wanted now was

some peace and quiet, but Tiffany just had to ramble on.

If she were anyone else, he would have iced her out completely.

He raised his uninjured hand and rubbed his temples wearily. After tamping down the annoyance within him, he

spoke to Tiffany in his usual, placid tone. “Maybe I liked you before, but I'm married now.”

Tiffany countered without thinking, “I thought you were divorced.” When she saw the grim look on his face, she

knew she had touched on a sensitive topic and quickly elaborated, “I was talking to Mandy the other day, and she

told me you and Ms. Loake were over, so I thought...”

It was only then that Cooper recalled the conversation he'd had with Amanda the other day in the living room. He

didn't think she would share this information with Tiffany.

“I'm sorry,” Tiffany said quietly. “I didn't mean to pry, Mr. Sutton.”

“Things might be over between me and Sally, but we aren't divorced,” he said in a clipped tone. “There are a few

executives in my company who are still single; I'll have my assistant give you their contact details tomorrow. As for

the children, I hope you'll take good care of them while they're in school, but the housekeepers are more than

capable of taking care of them at home.”

Tiffany clutched her purse a little tighter when she heard his outright rejection.

She knew Specter Corporation was a titan in the industry and that plenty of excellent candidates had been turned

away during job applications. As such, anyone who was capable of becoming an executive in such a behemoth

must be quite an outstanding person.

However, she did not care for anyone else. Cooper was the only man she loved and wanted.

A sudden thought crossed her mind, and she loosened her grip on her purse.

Cooper might not return my feelings now, but I'm still Lucian and Amanda's teacher. I have plenty of time to get

him to warm up to me. I just need to take it nice and slow.

Later that night, Steven pulled up outside Tiffany's home and waited until she had gotten down from the car, then

drove back to the way they came. At that moment, he glanced at Cooper through the rearview mirror and

remarked, “I thought you liked gentle women.”
