CHAPTER 412: CHAPTER 422: ANOTHER TURN OF EVENTS (4)

"Haha, you’re welcome," Aurora Cooper replied with a smile.

Bradley Cooper looked a bit surprised and then smiled gentlemanly, saying, "It’s an honor for me."

Aurora Cooper playfully nudged him and said to Mia Ginger, "We’ll be going now. Until we meet again."

"Mm," Mia Ginger waved with a smile, "Goodbye."

"Bye-bye," Amy also smiled and turned to leave.

Watching Bradley Cooper embrace Aurora Cooper as they got into the car, Mia Ginger felt a warmth in her heart.

For consecutive years, Bradley Cooper has been the most famous male celebrity in the country, the audience’s favorite actor, and the listeners’ favorite male singer, among other awards. His popularity has never waned, partly due to his talent and partly due to his character.

He is a Heavenly King superstar with zero scandals, unmarried, and no negative news since he debuted.

It is rumored—

that he comes from a privileged family background.

Unexpectedly, in private, he’s so approachable and laid-back.

Mia Ginger put her phone away, put on a mask, and couldn’t help but smile with her eyes as she walked lightly towards the supermarket.

——

Bradley and Aurora Cooper got into the car.

Glancing at Mia Ginger in the rearview mirror, Bradley Cooper smiled and said, "I was startled when I first saw that girl."

"Why?" Aurora Cooper undid her coat buttons, leaned back relaxedly in her seat, and asked, "Don’t tell me you think she looks a bit like me?"

"It’s not just a bit," Bradley Cooper thought for a moment, "That girl’s face has at least a 60% resemblance to yours when you were young. Didn’t you try to find out just now?"

"I asked," Aurora Cooper sighed, "She has parents, and she’s in a relationship."

"Has parents?" Bradley Cooper was slightly surprised, pondering, "True. You’ve only been back in the country a few days, it’s unlikely you’d find her right away, let alone run into her on the street. The odds are nearly zero."

"Exactly," Aurora Cooper sighed deeply.

"Are you regretting it now?" Bradley Cooper glanced at her, his tone not too pleasant, "How could you have been so ruthless back then? Such a good child, and you just gave her up. In my opinion, it’s better if you don’t find her. If you did, who knows if she’d even acknowledge you."

"Brother," Aurora Cooper said moodily, "You know my situation at the time..."

Her voice carried a mix of defiance and grievance. Bradley Cooper looked at her somberly for a moment, then said softly, "What about the orphanage director from back then? Still not found?"

"No, today’s address was wrong too, no idea where they’ve moved to."

"Then stop searching for now," Bradley Cooper sighed, "Twenty years have passed, a few more days won’t matter, we can talk about it after the New Year."

Aurora Cooper glanced at him and said no more.

Back then, she had fallen for a seemingly kind but actually deceitful man.

And the result?

At that masquerade ball, the more she drank, the soberer she became, while her dance partner was drunk beyond repair.

Eventually, they went to a hotel together.

A fleeting night of passion.

She finally saw what the man looked like, and thought he wasn’t bad.

But that man, at the last moment, whispered another woman’s name in her ear.

Thinking back, it truly was a farce.

What was hard to accept was that she inexplicably ended up pregnant.

And she had always been slim since childhood, with irregular periods, she didn’t even realize she was three months pregnant.
