I Am the Sweetheart of Mr. CEO-Chapter 603: Shop ’Til You Drop

Barry Gust glanced sideways at Kenton Maverick, who was just tilting his glass back, drinking the whiskey with just ice, not even looking at her.

Barry Gust’s gaze dimmed and he withdrew his sight, taking a large sip of his own cocktail.

Evan Gust lazily swirled the wine in his hand, "When are you guys planning to have the wedding?"

"Yeah, when?" At the mention of this, Barry Gust’s interest was piqued too, "When’s the official wedding?"

"It’ll be a while; my parents are busy with some film things right now, but..." Kris Cooper slightly curled his lips, "Everyone can start getting ready to attend our engagement party."

While everyone was drinking and chatting, Barry Gust raised his right hand, "When the time comes, I’ll be Vera’s bridesmaid. How about it, Vera?"

Vera Wave laughed, "I’d love that!"

"You should definitely have it in Bali Island then, think about it, the blue sky, white clouds, the shadows of coconut trees, how romantic? Right, Debbie?"

Debbie Chantro looked up from her e-book, "I think the setting doesn’t matter, what matters is that the two are in love."

Barry Gust burst into laughter, pulling her into a side hug, "You talk like you’re so experienced, but haven’t you never been in a relationship?"

Debbie Chantro smiled softly, "Has Larry had any?"

"I..." Barry Gust was at a loss for words, "I’ve of course had plenty, let me tell you, as an elder sister I am very experienced. If you encounter any emotional problems in the future that you can’t solve, just come to me, the expert."

Bang!

Kenton Maverick’s glass clinked onto the table.

Everyone turned their gaze to see the man lightly shrugging his shoulders.

"Sorry, slipped hand."

Saying that, he took the bottle and poured himself more, also topping up Kris Cooper’s glass.

"Kris, this one’s for you."

Kris Cooper brought his glass over, clinking it lightly against his.

The two men didn’t say much, just lifted the glass and drank it all down.

Everyone continued drinking and chatting, by the end of the night, Kris Cooper was already a bit tipsy, as he had had the most to drink tonight, with toasts here and clinks there, all among good friends, naturally he wouldn’t cut corners.

Andre Colin checked his watch, "It’s about time, shall we head back to the hotel?"

Kenton Maverick stood up, "I have a flight at dawn, so won’t be heading back to the hotel."

"Want me to arrange someone to take you?" Kris Cooper asked.

"No need, my assistant is waiting outside."

Being all good friends, nobody fussed over it; these few men were all quite independent, each being very busy. 𝐟𝐫𝕖𝗲𝘄𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝕧𝐞𝚕.𝕔𝕠𝐦

If he had the time, of course he would have stayed, but nobody insisted otherwise.

So, they all left together, with Kenton Maverick heading straight to the airport by car, while the others returned to the hotel to rest.

Vera Wave helped Kris Cooper into the guest room, closing the door with a backward hand, not even turning around before she was embraced from behind by the man’s arms, pulled into his embrace.

"Darling, now you’re officially my legal wife. How does that feel?"

Vera Wave turned her face with a smile, "I feel especially happy, especially excited, do you know why?"

"Why?"

"Because..." She turned in his arms, wrapping her arms around his neck, "Today I’ve finally snagged a rich and handsome husband. From this moment on, my life is all about shopping, shopping, and more shopping!"

The man burst into laughter, bending down slightly to bring his face closer to hers.

"Well then, go ahead and swipe the card!"
