Chapter 152: Chapter 152 I, Cooper Coldson, am not a dog that comes when you call

Noah Coldson’s voice reluctantly sounded, "So you do regret it after all?"

"What are you thinking about?" Yolanda Greenwood shook her head, "I’m worried about my health, and I also don’t know if this place is close to the Civil Affairs Office."

Noah Coldson let out a sigh of relief.

"Don’t worry, when the time comes, if you really want to go, I can carry you there."

Yolanda Greenwood chuckled lightly, "Big brother, after I get divorced from Cooper Coldson, you shouldn’t bother about me anymore. Even if it’s to repay a favor, I think what you’ve done is enough."

"Not enough!" Noah continued packing up.

"It really is enough." Because of her weakness, Yolanda Greenwood’s voice was exceptionally soft, "We were all kids back then. Even if the one who ran away was me, I might not have been able to quickly find my family."

She looked sincerely at Noah, "Big brother, I’ve never blamed you."

Noah stopped his movements, his hand gripping the clothes tightly as he restrained his emotions. If Yolanda knew the big mistake he made back then, would she still say the same?

He really couldn’t imagine, "Alright, you should rest now. No one will bother you for a week, so take your time to think it through."

Indeed, staying in the camp was almost the safest place.

Yolanda Greenwood lay in bed for two days and finally couldn’t lie down any longer. Seeing Ivy Hall come to check on her, she quietly begged.

"Sister Hall, can’t I really go out for a walk?" Her face turned into a little bitter gourd, "Lying down like this, my whole body is going to waste."

Ivy Hall finished the basic check-up, amused by her words, resignedly said, "Alright, alright, go around for a bit."

Seeing Yolanda’s eyes light up, she quickly added, "But I must accompany you, and we must come back immediately whenever I say."

"Aye, aye, sir!" Yolanda Greenwood saluted, less than perfectly.

Ivy Hall found the thickest down jacket and quickly wrapped Yolanda up like a dumpling, leaving her laughing and crying, "Sister Hall, isn’t this a bit exaggerated?"

"We’re in the suburbs here, it’s much colder than in the city," insisted Ivy Hall. "If you don’t want to bundle up, just stay put."

Where dared Yolanda Greenwood oppose, she nodded repeatedly, "I’ll wear it, I’ll wear it."

When Noah Coldson entered, he saw the two preparing to go out.

"She’s restless and can’t lie still, I’m taking her out for a walk nearby," Ivy Hall explained proactively.

Yolanda Greenwood looked pitifully at Noah Coldson, knowing that if he didn’t agree, she couldn’t go out.

Immediately swayed by her look, Noah shook his head, "Alright, if Sister Hall agrees, who am I to object."

He followed them out, staying close enough to respond immediately if needed.

After arriving here, Yolanda Greenwood stepped out of the infirmary for the first time and realized that they were indeed on a mountain, and the temperature was genuinely low.

She chatted with Ivy Hall as they walked, and soon, the topic shifted to the children’s father.

Ivy Hall had learned a little from Noah Coldson, but not much. However, she could tell Yolanda Greenwood liked the children’s father a lot.

"How long have you known each other?" she asked curiously.

Yolanda chuckled, "Unofficially? About twenty years. But if we’re speaking formally... seven years."

Noah Coldson, following behind, heard all this. If counting from the time Yolanda saved someone, it indeed had been twenty years, and these seven years... he was somewhat surprised; he hadn’t realized it had been seven years since Yolanda and Cooper Coldson had reunited.

And he had been absent for those seven years.

It was quite ironic to think that in those seven years, neither had recognized the other.

The conversation continued, Ivy Hall asked again, "I heard from Noah that you’ve been married for only a year. What about before that? Were you together?"

Yolanda shook her head.

"Just friends?"

Yolanda thought carefully before responding, "Not really, perhaps... just acquaintances."

Listening more, Ivy Hall felt it odd, "Then when did you fall in love with him?"

Without a deep love, Yolanda wouldn’t have cared so much about the child in her womb.

"Maybe it was love at first sight during our second year of high school, or maybe it was... during the military training in our freshman year, or perhaps it was the moment he turned to be with someone else."

Often, Yolanda couldn’t clearly discern which moment it was that she had truly fallen in love with Cooper Coldson.

Ivy Hall frowned, listening to Yolanda’s words; she could imagine how deeply entangled the two were.

"And him? Did he ever love you?"

Yolanda was silent for a while before bitterly smiling, "I once thought he did."

"My freshman year, his junior year." To this day, reflecting on that period still made Yolanda’s heart race.

That was when Cooper Coldson had treated her the best. For nearly two years, they were inseparable whenever they had time.

Cooper would pin her against the wall when no one was watching, kissing her until she couldn’t stand; he would hold her and kiss her when sending her back to her dorm, not letting her go back... several times, they almost went too far, but Cooper held back every time.

Back then, he said he wanted to marry her, to save their first night for their wedding day.

But at that time, Yolanda struggled a lot. She thought she could never conceive, and as the Family Head of the Coldson Family, Cooper couldn’t marry a woman who couldn’t bear children.

So, during that time, Yolanda allowed Cooper’s intimacies but never agreed to be with him, secretly hoping to give her body to him, even if it meant they couldn’t marry later, and she lived her whole life without ever marrying anyone else.

Back then they truly loved each other, without a formal relationship, yet they did almost everything a couple would do. Yolanda’s feelings were on a rollercoaster, experiencing both happiness and extreme self-torture... but no matter what, they couldn’t let go of each other.

"What happened later?" Ivy Hall asked again, "When did you feel you no longer loved him?"

Later?

Yolanda thought for a moment, "Two years later, he suddenly got together with someone else."

She forced a smile, "The bride he is about to marry."

It was Melissa Greenwood!

Noah Coldson’s expression changed. He believed that at that time, Melissa Greenwood already knew that Cooper was the boy from those years, so she pretended to be the girl from back then by using the Jade Pendant.

He silently clenched his teeth, just then Yolanda’s expression had been painful, clearly she had been very anguished back then.

Yolanda didn’t speak; she remembered it very clearly.

Just as she and Cooper Coldson had been in a nameless love for two years, she had finally convinced herself to tell him the truth, but it was at that moment Cooper suddenly announced his official relationship with Melissa Greenwood.

Back then, Yolanda was nearly mad, waiting every day beneath the Coldson Group building, but what she always saw was Cooper coming and going with Melissa Greenwood.

She didn’t understand what had happened.

She only remembered Cooper repeatedly telling her, "The person I’m going to marry is Melissa, the position of Mrs. Coldson belongs to her, you can leave."

At that time, Cooper must have had his grievances too, "Besides, didn’t you not want to be with me? What? Regretting it now?"

He cruelly curved his lips, "Yolanda, it’s too late, I, Cooper Coldson, am not a dog that comes whenever you call."
