Cooper was sitting at a table near the window. His long and slender fingers were gently tapping on the table, but his gaze was on the door.
When he saw the waiter lead Genevieve in, his eyes lit up slightly.
As the two approached, Cooper got up from his seat and pulled out the chair opposite him.
Genevieve ignored him directly. After seeing a familiar violin case sitting on the opposite chair, she pulled the chair that was further inside and sat on it.
Cooper was not mad. He pushed the chair back, returned to his seat, and passed Genevieve the menu.
“Have a look at the menu and see what you want to eat.”
Genevieve glanced at him lightly and typed on her phone: I’ll pay for this meal. Order whatever you want. I am not eating.
Cooper was slightly taken aback when he saw Genevieve typing on the memo to reply to him. “What’s wrong with your voice?”
Genevieve did not answer. She put down her phone and stood up with the intention to take the violin case on the seat beside Cooper.

Cooper’s gaze darkened. He quickly raised a hand and pressed it onto the violin case.
Gently, the man uttered, “Genev, didn’t you say you’d treat me to this meal? Shouldn’t you wait until we finish the meal before you take a look at the violin?”
If she were to get the violin, she would probably leave immediately.
Genevieve furrowed her brows and sat back in her seat. She pushed the menu to Cooper, signaling him to order and eat quickly.
Cooper’s thin lips twitched for a moment as he casually picked up the menu and ordered from the waiter.
After the waiter left, Cooper leaned forward slightly and looked at Genevieve. “Back then, I instructed the housekeepers to wait for you to finish packing your stuff before cleaning up the Rachford residence. I did not expect Erica to find them secretly and forcibly snatch your belongings… I’m sorry.”
Genevieve’s expression did not change as she typed on her phone: You have been with Erica for two to three years at that time. Whatever she did is equivalent to you having done it. What do you have to say?
Cooper could sense the mockery in Genevieve’s text. He felt a sudden bitterness in his mouth.
Indeed, most of the deeds were not done by Cooper, but he had indulged Erica to do whatever she wanted.
Erica’s family background, appearance, and education were no match to Genevieve’s. Still, Cooper was so blinded that he was seduced by and stayed with Erica for many years.
Perhaps, it was Cooper’s karma.
After the waiter had served the steak, Cooper carefully cut the steak and pushed the pieces to Genevieve. “I remember you like the steak from this place. Every year, I would order you a steak on your birthday.”
Cooper had suddenly recalled the moments of Genevieve’s birthday.
On Genevieve’s coming-of-age birthday, her father spent a lot of money to hold a grand birthday dinner for her. After that, Genevieve spent her birthdays from the age of eighteen onward with Cooper by her side.
