Sorry for Your Loss, It's Me, I'm the Loss novel Chapter 190

Yvonne smiled, stroking Bullet’s big head.

Mr. Cooper, still rocking in his chair, put his glasses back on and looked her over. “Yes, fits you well.”

A full-length mirror stood opposite her, and in its reflection, she saw a young woman in a vintage-style dress, exuding an aura of classic elegance. In that same mirror, she saw the man standing a few feet behind her, his gaze resting on her, his expression unreadable.

The wicker chair creaked as Mr. Cooper leaned forward, looking from Yvonne to Bennett. “You two are a funny couple,” he said lazily. “Why did you arrive separately?”

Yvonne flinched. Her current body was completely different from her old one, yet she had a feeling that Mr. Cooper, with the wisdom of his years, could see right through her disguise to the soul within. He knew she was the same girl from all those years ago.

Bennett remained silent, his dark, calm eyes fixed on her.

His stare made her heart race, and she blurted out, “Mr. Cooper, you’ve misunderstood. Mr. Thompson and I are just… acquaintances.”

Taking another bite of pastry, Mr. Cooper peered at Bennett, then back at her. “What’s wrong with you, girl? Is your memory worse than an old man’s? Weren’t you two about to get married?”

The words ‘future mother-in-law’ and ‘boyfriend’ made Yvonne want to crawl into a hole. Realizing she couldn’t reason with him, she lowered her head and mumbled an agreement. She quickly placed the dress in a box and handed it to Bennett.

He took it, his gaze sweeping over her briefly. “Thank you.” His voice was cool, like melting snow.

Yvonne kept her head down, unable to meet his eyes, but the trembling of her long lashes betrayed her agitation.
