18 Floors Above the Apocalypse

Chapter 130

Chapter 130

To have a proper conversation, sometimes you needed to beat the other person first.

Jasper gave Cooper some advice. "You don't need to be so quick to deny me, and certainly not yourself. You hold a special place in her heart, even if I'm with her, it won't change how she feels about you. "Besides, Stella and I have a deal. If I ever mistreat you, she won't talk to me anymore. If you can't even beat me, how can you hope to protect her? Why not give me a chance and we can protect her together? "And don't worry. I'll treat you the same as I treat Rosie. You won't be left out in the cold once she has a boyfriend."

The dog, Cooper, gave him a silent stare.

"Don't believe me? We can pinky swear." With that, he lifted Cooper's paw and completed the pinky swear.

Cooper, the reluctant participant in the pinky swear, continued to stare at him silently.

"Be a good boy, finish your food and keep fit." Jasper patted Cooper's head, "If you starve, I'll be the only one left to look after her, and you won't get another chance."

Cooper's eyes widened in surprise and he took a few steps back.

Jasper left him alone to ponder over things in his cosy dog bed. He then joined Stella, "Cooper is smart, just a bit jealous. He's been hurt before and needs a sense of security. He'll come around in time." "And if he doesn't?"

Jasper didn't want to pressure her, "We'll find a solution."

After a while, Stella opened the door to her room. Cooper came over, with a melancholic look in his eyes.

"What's wrong?" Stella asked, "The butcher's shops are closed, and I'm not that kind of person."

She poured some dog food into his bowl, and she also added a chicken drumstick.

Cooper ate hungrily, occasionally lifting his head to look at Stella as if worried she might disappear.

"I'm not going anywhere. I'll always take you with me."

Later, Jasper called Stella over the intercom, "Stella, bring Cooper over for dinner."

Stella covered the intercom and asked Cooper, "There's food next door. Should we go?"

Cooper hesitated but eventually picked up his food bowl.

Stella laughed, "We'll be right over."
