Chapter 44


    Just as Cordelia was taking care of Barney, Deanna jumped in, "Alright, you''ve done enough. It''s my


    turn."


    Without thinking twice, Cordelia got up. Just at that moment, Ronan walked in. Deanna''s interruption


    was perfectly timed.


    Seeing Ronan, Cordelia was instantly reminded of the awkward situation when they were buying the


    He nced at Barney, adjusted the IV drip to be slower, and then said to Cordelia seriously, "Come out


    with me."


    Cordelia had no choice but to follow him out.


    They reached a corridor a bit further from Barney''s bedroom, and Ronan asked Cordelia to lean


    against the wall.


    "Why would you let her do such heavy work?" he asked harshly.


    Cordelia thought resentfully, why can''t she do this work?


    "When do you n to divorce?" Due to her bad mood and theputer purchase matter, Cordelia''s


    tone was also a bit unpleasant.


    Obviously, her question caught Ronan off guard. "Are you looking forward to the divorce?" He frowned


    at her.


    "Deanna''s back, and I''ve moved out. I think a divorce is just a matter of time. I just want to know when,


    or else I''ll feel uneasy." Cordelia looked up, but not at Ronan.


    "Well, really? Do you not understand why I asked you to move out? Or do you want toe back to


    make money?" His mockery was heavy, "Right, you''ve bought yourputer, so you''re not short on


    cash now."


    "Do you really have to do this for Logan? He''s not even alive anymore, so what are you still holding


    onto? What about you snooping on my diary? That''s private. I could sue you." Cordelia stared into his


    eyes.


    "Then go ahead."

    Cordelia knew her threats wouldn''t scare Ronan; he might even find it amusing. She huffed and turned


    her head away.


    "You stand here."


    "When are we getting a divorce?" She asked again.


    "Just be Mrs. Evans for now." After saying this, Ronan went into Barney''s room.


    It seemed Cordelia still had to y the role of Mrs. Evans for a while. Probably until Barney passed


    away, then he would break off the fake engagement and marry Deanna.


    "Cheapskate." After Ronan left, Cordelia muttered under her breath.


    Unexpectedly, his footsteps suddenly stopped, then he came back. "What did you say?" He asked with


    a frown.


    Cordelia lowered her head, "Nothing. You''re really handsome."


    He knew that wasn''t what she said, but he didn''t want to argue, so he walked away.


    When he entered the room, Barney was awake, and he asked Ronan, "Where''s De? Is she back?"


    "She''s back. She''s outside."


    "Hurry, let her in." Barney waved his hand eagerly.


    "Barney, I''ll go get her." Deanna then left the room.


    Seeing Cordelia standing against the wall, a strange smile appeared on Deanna''s lips, "He really treats


    you like a nurse, huh? Go on, Barney''s calling for you."


    Upon hearing those words, Cordelia felt wronged and excluded.


    Seeing Cordelia, Barney immediately smiled, "De, are you back from your business trip? Are you


    nning to stay?"


    Cordelia didn''t dare answer casually, she snuck a nce at Ronan.


    "Yes, she''s staying at home now."


    "Well, are you two having a fight? You''ve just got married, haven''t you? Ronan, that''s not right."


    Deanna patted Ronan''s shoulder, pretending to be concerned. As if she had a say in their rtionship.


    "I have work this afternoon, I have to go." Deanna stood there gracefully, "I didn''t drive today. Ronan,


    could you give me a lift?"


    Shepletely ignored Cordelia''s presence.


    Out of chivalry, and given the vi''s remote location which made hailing a cab inconvenient, Ronan


    decided to drive Deanna away.
