Chapter 654


    Cordelia was stunned and failed to react. Meanwhile, thedy introduced herself naturally. “You’ve


    never met me, cousin-inw. I’m Ava, my dad is Noah. I’m sure you’ve met my dad!” “Oh!” Cordelia


    came to a realization. “So, you’re Zen’s cousin.” “That’s right!” Ava smiled. Cordelia had seen Zephyr’s


    uncle at the family dinner. He was a strange man. He was plump like a ball, and he looked wicked


    when he smiled. His existence made one ufortable. It was said that he was also the person


    among the Bakers who was against Janine and Zephyr the most. He would always say privately: “Why


    get someone with a different family name to take over the Bakers’ matters?” However, he would tter


    them when they were around. Ava was not Noah’s daughter. She was his wife’s daughter with another


    man. They said she was great at pleasing the adults. He loved her, giving her the life of a princess.


    Nobody in the Bakers dared to say that she was a drag. It was said that she had asked to change her


    family name when she was ten. The old man had disagreed at first. After her and her mother’s years of


    persuasion, she finally got to change herst name to Baker when she became an adult. The Bakers


    did not say anything on the surface, but they would secretly mock her. “Why change her family name


    out of nowhere? She just wants a share of the interests and estates!” “Nobody knows if she will get


    anything! Ha, don’t conclude anything now just because the Bakers’ first daughter is taking over. The


    grandson with a different family name will take over in the future!” “Would he trouble his own uncle?”


    “We don’t know that! Let’s see.” … Cordelia smiled courteously at Ava when she snapped back to her


    senses. “I didn’t know what to get you when we’re meeting for the first time, so I got you some


    Southeast Aciatic dishes. This is embarrassing!” “Oh…” Cordelia shook her head, “It’s not—” “I’m sure


    you’re hungry?” Ava passed her the cutlery. “Try them and tell me if they’re delicious!” Cordelia was


    worried. She could not eat the food before finding out if Ava was a friend or a foe. Someone had put


    mercury in Zephyr’s cake when he was nine… It seemed the situation in the Bakers was nothing better.


    She should be cautious. “Cousin-inw…” Ava looked at her with her big, innocent eyes. “Why aren’t


    you eating?” “Ha, it’s not that I don’t want to eat, it’s just that… I suddenly lost my appetite.” “What?”


    Ava looked shocked. “A pregnant woman is so fickle-minded when ites to her appetite?” Cordelia


    showed an awkward smile and said nothing. Ava seemed to have seen through Cordelia. Her voice


    became soft. “Don’t tell me… you suspect I put something in your food?” “No, no!” Cordelia did not


    want to make things awkward. “Don’t take it the wrong way. I really just lost my appetite suddenly…” “If


    you’re suspicious, I’ll eat it first!” Ava sat at the table and picked up the cutlery. She took a bite of the


    bread and then drank the milk.


    She took a bite of the sausage, meat pie, cake, and deep-fried cruller and looked at Cordelia after she


    was done. The maids around looked at each other and whispered to each other. Ava made Cordelia


    feel guilty. She did not look like a maniptive woman, but Cordelia just wanted to be safe. After all,


    she was pregnant. If she was poisoned, even if she could take it, her baby could not. “Cousin-inw…”


    Ava’s voice was shaking. “You believe me now, right?” “Cousin, I…” “I know. My dad’s reputation is bad


    in the family. My cousin might have told you something that you have your guard up against me… But I


    came to visit you with 100% sincerity! My dad isn’t perfect, but he’s… really just mean on the outside.


    He’s a softie on the inside. You’ll naturally know who is good and who is not after living with the Bakers


    for a while!” Cordelia bit her lip. She did not know what to say. At that moment, a deep and cold voice


    came from the door. “I didn’t see 100% sincerity, but you sure are hostile to be messing up my family


    when I am away!” Ava felt a squeeze in her heart. Zephyr slowly walked in from the door. The


    suppression from his body and his eyes seemed to be able to freeze someone. Books Chapters Are

    as he saw Cordelia. He had all of his attention on his wife now. “Hubby?” Cordelia was stunned and


    then smiled sweetly. “Why are you home? I thought you went to the office!” “I know you’re sick of eating


    local food, so I went to a Southeast Aciatic restaurant to get you the food that you love.” He put the


    food container on the table and peeped at the stuff Ava had brought. When he looked up again, his


    deep and ferocious eyes gave people a shiver. “Cousin…” Ava called out to him softly. “Ah, don’t be


    mad!” She quickly exined, “I actually bought these for your wife… Ha, see. We have the same


    thought that she can’t get used to the food here!” “We?” Zephyr emphasized. “Who is ‘we’?” Ava’s


    expression changed. “We’re from Centrolis. If you think we’re the same, please leave my house. We’re


    not the same!” “Cousin—” He looked coldly at her. “These things, did you intentionally take a bite of


    everything?” “No, no!” Ava quickly cleared up. “She… was unwilling to eat, thinking that I poisoned the


    food. That’s why I took a bite of everything to prove myself!” “Is that true?” Zephyr looked at Cordelia.


    Ava’s eyes were red. She heard Zephyr talking while smiling in the next second. “You’re such a good


    girl, wifey!” “W-What!?” “I told her that apart from the food that I got her, she shouldn’t eat anything that


    anyone else gave her!” He turned around to look at Cordelia and squeezed her cheeks softly. “Seems


    like you remember what I said! You’re such a good girl!”All content is ? N0velDrama.Org.
