Chapter 485


    “I didn’t say that I agree!”


    X looked at her daughter and smiled when she caught the slight disappointment in her expression.


    Even when she could not see Rowan again in this lifetime, having the pair of children she had was the


    most precious gift the man had given her.


    “I know that you’re doing this for my sake,” X said gently, “But I really don’t want to look for someone


    else. How William Jenner treated me in the past… It’s still fresh in my head.”


    Cordelia hung her head in silence.


    “But the man you mentioned, he’s not as bad as William Jenner, right?”


    “Huh?” Cordelia jolted. “No, of course not! He’s super nice!”


    “Treating the sick and saving those in need is benevolent.” X smiled. “I don’t agree to another


    marriage, but meeting him and having an acquaintance is fine.”


    “Really?” Cordelia’s eyes lit up. She hugged her mother.


    The sun traced a gentle outline of gold around the mother and daughter cuddling together. Ginger


    meowed and stretched with a squint.


    Everything looked peaceful and pleasant.


    Cordelia smiled. It was not easy that her mother was willing to take this step forward. She would leave


    the future to the future. Many married couples started from being acquaintances anyway!


    “Right.” X looked at Cordelia. “What cat does the man have?”


    “Thest time I met him, he had a Siamese!”

    X froze and felt a clench in her heart. It was an inexplicable sadness that even breathing felt painful.


    She recalled her carefree days in the past—it felt like something from her past lifetime.


    …


    The school found that X and Janine kept a pet cat back then. The international school had strict


    rules and busy school work, forbidding students from doing anything unrted to their studies. The


    school ordered the two friends to send the cat to a shelter, or they would be punished.


    X’s eyes were rimmed red as she stood at the school gate with tears falling. It was then she was


    pulled into a warm and familiar embrace.

    Rowan rubbed her head, his eyes brimming with indulgence that was reserved only for her.


    “Silly goose, why are you crying over something so small?”


    X looked at him and sobbed, saying after a while, “I can’t bear to…”


    “I’ll take care of it.”


    “What?”


    “I said I’ll take the cat back.” Rowan chuckled. “The shelter can barely provide, and you have spoiled


    the cat. It probably can’t stand an environment like that. I might as well take it home. We have space at


    home anyway. It won’t end up in the streets.”


    “Then…” X pouted. “I won’t be able to see it often.”


    Southeast Aciatic had no winter, but the air was chillying to this time. X only wore a short-


    sleeved school uniform and had wrapped her arms around herself.


    Rowan did not take off his jacket to drape it on her. Instead, he unbuttoned it and pulled her into his


    embrace.


    The masculinity he oozed enchanted the young girl.


    “Don’t worry.” Rowan’s voice was husky. “I’ll pick you up every night, and you’ll see it once you get


    home. Then I’ll send you back before your curfew. No one will notice.”


    “But isn’t it tiring for you toe back and forth?”


    He rubbed her hair. His love and doting on her were like chocte, melting and spreading in his smile.


    “It’s not tiring at all to do anything for you.”
