Chapter 720
Dahlia was annoyed that Keegan did not care about the Crosby family affairs but was being so
generous toward his ex-wife.
'' Thank god they got divorced.Otherwise, Keegan would be even more obsessed with that little
minx.There wouldn''t be a ce for me in this household."
Dahlia went to Cordelia’s house early in the morning.
The olddy was already very dissatisfied with her for the birthday banquet, so she had stayed low that
month.
Apart from giving her condolences to the guests who were injured on the day of the birthday banquet,
Dahlia went to Cordelia''s ce to admit her mistakes and apologize.
However, the olddy did not want to see her.
Every time Dahlia came over, Cordelia would turn her away, or give her the silent treatment.
Dahlia was able to marry into the Kane family because of her pregnancy and also her perseverance.
When she was pregnant, Cordelia did not approve of her, but Dahlia was patient and persistent.
She went to her house every day and brought her tea.
She would ask about the olddy''s well-being, clear up the weeds around the house, and feed the
horse and fish.
Mr.Kane Sr.was swayed by her actions.
After some time, he realize that it was not easy for a single mother to raise a child.
Moreover, it would bring damage to both Dahlia and the Kane family''s reputation.
The old man tried to persuade the olddy, and she finally budged in the end.
Now, Dahlia was trying to do the same thing thirty yearster.
She volunteered to fertilize the nts and pluck the weeds when she arrived at Cordelia''s home.
Dahlia was so eager to marry into the Kane family in the past that she did not mind any dirty work.
However, she had been pampered by the Kane family for so many years that she now disliked getting
dirty or doing energy- consuming work.
She even questioned why Cordelia fertilized and weeded therge plot ofnd every week rather than
enjoying her retirement.
Dahlia said that she wanted to help with fertilizing the ce, but when she was in the garden, she
called for the workers to put on multipleyers of masks and gloves for her.
There were many mosquitoes in the summer.

So, Dahlia frowned as she dodged left and right in the garden, holding a bucket filled with fertilizer.
It took her a long time to fertilize only a few nts.
The olddy saw this scene from a long distance, but she ignored Dahlia.
She took a pair of scissors and went to the other side to pluck some tomatoes.
When Dahlia saw Cordelia, she immediately went up to her and said, "Mom, just ask the servants to do
this kind of unskilledbor."
The olddy avoided her grip and calmly said, "This is my vegetable garden, and I have to be the one
who tends to it.That way, I can keep an eye on any nts that need to be dealt with."
Although Cordelia was talking about her nts, Dahlia felt that she was referring to something more
than that.
Her expression showed that she felt awkward.
Then, she said in a low voice, "Mom, I went to give my condolences to the guests who were injured at
the birthday banquet yesterday.They have almost fully recovered."
The olddy did not speak.
Dahlia continued, "Mom, my friends have introduced me to a lot of wealthy young girls.
Since Keegan has been divorced for quite some time now, I think it''s time for him to find a new
girlfriend.
Our family is small; maybe you can fee] more at ease if Keegan can extend the family tree."
"Okay," the olddy said calmly without looking up.
"I''m fine with anything as long as Keegan agrees." Dahlia stayed quiet.
Since she could not convince Keegan, she wanted Cordelia to put some pressure on him.But, she did
not expect the olddy to throw the ball back at her.
Dahlia hoped that Keegan would find a wealthy heiress who could help control Keegan in his career
and help her with the Crosby family''s business.Since Ste managed to make an opening for her n,
Dahlia wanted to fill the hole.
"You know how stubborn Keegan can be.But, he listens to you, mom.I''m sure he''d agree with the n
if you''re the one who mentions it."
"How long has Keegan been divorced?" Cordelia lowered her gaze and asked.
Dahlia was startled when she heard that.
"Almost two months," she replied.
"Two months. That means it''s been almost two months since Rainee passed away. It would be
inappropriate for Keegan to find a new wife."
Dahlia frowned and said in a low voice, ''''Keegan has already divorced Ste. He doesn''t need to
consider that anymore."
Cordelia gave her a cold look and said, "It''s his business whether or not he deems it appropriate.Do
you have no conscience?"
Dahlia''s face changed slightly.
"What are you trying to say, Mom?"
