Chapter 106


    As soon as Ronan mentioned cream pasta and fried steak, Cordelia''s mind began to wander. Another


    person, someone she knew, was particrly fond of these two dishes as well.


    Tomorrow, Cordelia nned to visit this person, but she didn''t share this n with Ronan.


    When she arrived at the office, the first thing Cordelia did was to transfer some money to Jamie. It was


    the money she had borrowed from Ronan to buy aputer, and she hadn''t spent a dime of it. Then,


    she sent back The CPA Sess Blueprint and the notes on financial management that Jamie had


    given her, indicating that she had settled her debt with him.


    She sent Ronan a message with the transfer record and the tracking number of the package and then


    wrote two words. [All clear.]


    Ronan''s reply was short. [Good.]


    Even though there had been no issue of debt between her and Jamie before, this "all clear" was more


    of an expression of Cordelia''s attitude.


    She was afraid that one day, Ronan would put her in a position where she couldn''t get herself out.


    For the first time, Cordelia brought her own homemade food to the office. At lunchtime, she couldn''t


    help but post a photo of her lunch on Facebook.


    Ronanmented. [Don''t forget about tomorrow.]


    Cordelia responded with an "OK" hand sign emoji.


    The post, unsurprisingly, received a lot of likes from her coworkers—this was the first time Ronan had


    evermented on someone else''s Instagram post.


    All her colleagues who was her friends on Facebook, naturally, liked the post as well.


    That night, Cordelia prepared the meals and made roast beef, chicken breast, and fried steak for


    Ronan the next day. Plus, she also prepared some coffee for him.


    She didn''t make lunch for herself, as she nned to take the day off.


    When Ronan saw there was only one lunch on the table, he asked, "Where''s my lunch?"


    "Darling, this is your lunch. I took the day off yesterday. I need to visit a ssmate today."


    "A ssmate?" Ronan frowned.


    "Yes, I''m not lying this time." Cordelia said pitifully.


    "Go ahead then." Perhaps due to the incidents of the previous day, Ronan knew Cordelia wouldn''t do


    Belonging to N?velDrama.Org.


    anything outrageous.


    Cordelia felt a huge weight off her shoulders. She didn''t leave with Ronan, instead, she took the bus


    alone to the cemetery where her father, Castiel, was buried. It had been six years.


    Cordelia ced a bunch of daisies on her father''s grave. She had a lot she wanted to say to him.


    "Dad, I''m here to see you. It''s been a while." Cordelia said, tears rolling down her cheeks. When both


    her parents were alive, she was a very happy child. "Before you died, you told me to keep an eye on


    that guy. I''ve been watching him for you, making sure he doesn''t abuse your eyes. He may be a bit


    harsh and looks down on people sometimes, but I believe he won''t do anything bad. You asked me not


    to tell him, so he wouldn''t feel guilty all his life. I hope he can live a righteous life, not in the shadows.


    I''ve been doing just that. Especially now, with our rtionship, I can''t tell him. Dad, there''s one more


    thing. The creamy pasta and fried steak you loved, he loves them too. Dad, do you think he liked them


    before? Or did he start liking them after he got your eyes? I''m not sure."


    At this point, Cordelia couldn''t control her tears, and she was bothughing and crying.


    “Actually, Adrian wanted to see you too. He''s just too busy with work, and he doesn''t have time."


    Cordelia made excuses for him. Ever since her father passed away, Adrian had never visited. He felt


    that their father had left him nothing but a vegetative patient to take care of. Cordelia knew all this, so


    on the anniversary of their father''s death, she didn''t call Adrian over, fearing his presence would


    unsettle their father.


    Looking at her father''s tombstone, Cordelia stood there for a long time. Of all her rtives in the world,


    her parents couldn''t respond to her anymore, and her brother was always against her, which made


    Cordelia feel very cold.


    As soon as she got on the bus leaving the cemetery, Cordelia''s phone rang. It was Adrian.


    "Do you remember that today is Dad''s death anniversary?" Cordelia asked angrily.


    "Today is dad''s death anniversary? I don''t care! Get over here!" Adrian, seemingly not caring at all,


    ordered Cordelia around. He seemed to be very angry, not even showing up on their father''s death


    anniversary, but still managing to be mad. What a joke!


    "What is it?" Cordelia was very unhappy. Thinking of thest time her brother drugged her, she decided


    not to go.


    "I won''t harm you this time! I''m at the café, even if I wanted to, there are cameras here. I don''t want to


    go to jail! I''ve sent you the location, hurry up." Adrian hung up after saying that.


    Cordelia looked at the time and found that it wasn''t even noon yet, so she went to the café Adrian


    mentioned.


    There was a book and a notebook on Adrian''s table, the book was Jamie''s The CPA Sess


    Blueprint, and the notebook she recognized as the one about cost management in finance. So, Adrian


    was here for Jamie.


    "What did Jamie do to you? He has already paid for the clothes." Adrian interrogated Cordelia, tapping


    on the table.


    "If he paid, just say he paid. Why did he say my husband paid? Is he my husband?" Cordelia''s eyes


    were still red. "Today is dad''s death anniversary. Do you know that?"


    Adrian coldly turned his head away. "He didn''t acknowledge me as his son, so I don''t acknowledge him


    as my dad!"


    "You..." Cordelia''s eyes reddened.
