Chapter 27


    "Where''s De, why didn''t shee with you?" Ronan''s grandfather seemed a bit grumpy in the car.


    To him, Cordelia was more like a child. Being with her always brought a sense of warmth and


    homeliness.


    "She''s still at work, you wouldn''t want to interfere with her job, would you?" Ronan added, "Stay with


    me this time. I''ve already arranged everything with the doctors. We have all the medical facilities at


    home, so you don''t need to go to the hospital."


    Ronan drove into Pearl Palms where he lived. It was four o''clock in the afternoon. The house staff were


    all out to meet them, but Cordelia was nowhere to be seen.


    With a slight frown, Ronan asked the staff, "Hasn''t thedy returned yet?"


    "Not yet. Do you want us to call her?" The maid asked.


    Ronan had already briefed the staff about his wife, so they all appeared calm in front of Barney.


    "No need, don''t disturb De at work. She''ll be home when she finishes. I''ll go tidy up a bit." Barney


    said.


    Ronan looked back, expecting to see Cordelia, but there was no sign of her. As he searched for


    Cordelia, another woman drove up.


    "Is it some kind of telepathy between us? As soon as you turn around, I''m here." Deanna got out of the


    car and said to Ronan in a suggestive tone. At that exact moment, the trunk of Ronan''s car was


    opened, revealing Barney''s luggage.


    "Let me help." Deanna volunteered to carry the luggage.

    Looking at Deanna, Barney slightly frowned. However, he didn''t say anything.


    "Let the staff take care of it." Ronan said and walked into the house.


    Cordelia had clearly unsettled him again. He was not in a good mood.


    Deanna had already apanied Barney to his bedroom for rest.


    "Barney is exhausted. He''s already asleep." Deanna came out of Barney''s room, light-footed.


    Ronan was still sitting on the sofa, lost in his thoughts.


    About twenty minutester, Cordelia rushed back. Her face was flushed, her hair messy, as if she had


    hustled back from a far-off ce.


    "Where''s Barney?" She started looking for Barney as soon as she stepped in, only sparing a nce at


    Deanna. She recognized Deanna at once. This was the woman she had seen in photos and heard


    about from her colleagues.


    "He''s in his room. Turn left on the first floor. He''s sleeping. Don''t disturb him." Ronan said.


    This was Cordelia''s first visit to Ronan''s house, and he nonchntly showed her the way. At this point,


    Deanna also noticed the wedding photo of Ronan and Cordelia hanging on the wall. Her face instantly


    turned pale.


    "Why are you back sote?" Ronan pulled Cordelia onto hisp, and naturally leaned in to kiss her


    cheek.


    Deanna was sizing up Cordelia. She was tall and slim, with big eyes that shone like droplets of water.


    Her nose was upturned, lips soft, making her look adorable. Even without dressing up, she was


    beautiful.


    "Who is thisdy?" Cordelia asked. She knew this woman was Deanna, and she also knew that Ronan


    was doing this deliberately to make Deanna jealous. She was just a tool for him.


    Due to the fact that Ronan couldn''t find Cordelia this morning, she decided to fully cooperate with his


    show to calm his anger.


    Cordelia''s hand reached up to Ronan''s neck, "I missed you too. Why are you back sote?"


    When Cordelia acted all cute, she was very charming. The fresh scent from her body filled Ronan''s


    nostrils, making him feel so good that he wanted to take her to bed right then.


    "Oh, by the way, who is thisdy?" Cordelia nced at Deanna.


    "An old friend of mine." Ronan said.


    "I''ll go upstairs to put away my bag." Cordelia said and went upstairs, thinking, “Just friends?”


    She had no idea where Ronan''s room was. She just wanted to give off the impression that she would


    be visiting this house frequently. The vi was extravagant yet understated. Cordelia almost tripped on


    the staircase.


    "You''re married? You didn''t mention itst time." Deanna said, trying to smile despite her pale face.


    "You didn''t ask mest time." Ronan replied.


    He wasn''t sure what his feelings were. Perhaps because he was unsatisfied with Cordelia''s behavior


    this morning, he decided to be affectionate with her, making Deanna jealous, and then punish Cordelia


    in bedter.


    "Is she your wife?" Deanna asked Ronan.


    Seeing Cordelia and Ronan being intimate earlier had made Deanna very jealous. She was itching to


    push Cordelia away and take her ce on Ronan''sp. She never got the chance to do that before.


    She even wondered if they were putting on a show for her, but they didn''t seem to be acting.


    Ronan lit a cigarette, seemingly proud as he looked at Deanna, "Isn''t she beautiful?"


    Deanna just nodded, not answering the question directly. "She''s your wife. If you think she''s beautiful,


    then she is. I''ll leave now." Deanna said.
