Even Casper himself wasn't exempt from being the recipient of Cooper's death stare after he'd noticed him visiting a few times. Thereafter, he was intimidated and gradually dared not go to Carmen's house anymore since he had to avoid Cooper every single time. Bailey, however, was different. He ignored Cooper's death stare and went to Carmen's house as he liked whenever he had time, always going over to look for her blatantly.
Besides, he even dared ask Carmen out right in front of Cooper, which was something Casper didn't even dare contemplate. After all, he was afraid of being mauled by Chow and Eggplant! Not just anyone could withstand Cooper's death stare; the few boys who used to visit Carmen's house often were also terror-stricken by Cooper's stare, and even Hope who lived next door didn't dare go over if there wasn't anything pressing.
Hence, Casper couldn't do anything despite seeing Bailey coming over frequently to ask Carmen out. Bailey was also a very conscientious person. Every time he took Carmen out, he always drove her home on time without spending the night with her or even holding hands. He kept track of the time very well each time, giving Cooper no excuse to blow up that he could only shoot him the death stare. No, in his eyes, it was merely a helpless look.
In the summer, Sophia planned to take the entire family for a vacation; Cooper, Anna, and the others would also be joining. When Sophia asked Bailey over for dinner, she casually noted, "Bailey, we're all going for a vacation. Are you interested in joining us?" Carmen who was eating perked up her ears as well. She initially thought that Bailey wouldn't be interested, but to her surprise, he instantly agreed. "Sure!
It just so happens that I'm thinking of going for a vacation as well." Thus, Bailey packed a simple suitcase under Cooper's death glare and overtly went for a vacation with the entire family as the invisible old son-in-law. In the blink of an eye, spring was gone to be replaced by summer. As per Casper's anticipation, Carmen officially entered Bayside University for her second doctorate. I can now bond with her as we go to school and back home together every day!

What is Premium?
Premium is a site-wide subscription while your plan is active.

Gold vs Premium — which should I choose?
Choose Gold if you only want this series: one payment (about 2,999 Gold for the full novel on this book) unlocks the whole story forever.
Choose Premium if you read many locked books and want one subscription for the whole site during your billing period.
You can use both.
Cancel Premium auto-renewal?
