Chapter 207


    Ronan whispered into Cordelia''s ear, "Could you swing by the mall across the street and grab me some


    pants?"


    Cordelia nodded, "Sure thing."


    His pants were indeed wet, making him feel a bit awkward.


    "What type do you need?" Cordelia asked.


    "Just something wearable. Pay with the card." Ronan replied.


    Cordelia nodded again, stood up, apologized to everyone, and then left the room. Jamie''s gaze


    followed her out. Ronan watched all this without showing any emotion.


    "Adrian, if you ever run into trouble, you can count on me," Ronan said to Adrian.


    "Ronan, we''re gonna be family. I''m gonna down this one, even though I''m engaged, the wedding''s still


    a ways off. The engagement already cost an arm and a leg, and the wedding won''t be cheap either."


    Adrian started to brazenly ask for money, and he seemed a bit drunk, "Also, I''m thinking about starting


    my ownpany. Could you maybe invest a bit?"


    The room fell silent, Jamie tried to reel Adrian in, but Adrian insisted on asking Ronan for money.


    Cordelia walked into the room with a shopping bag. "Got ''em," she gently patted Ronan''s shoulder from


    behind.


    "Quiet! I''m discussing something with Ronan." Adrian told Cordelia.


    "Adrian!" Although Cordelia didn''t hear what Adrian just said, she could guess what he was saying.


    "Quiet, Cordelia, you just need to focus on making money." Adrian probably had one too many, he even


    started to call Cordelia a "money machine".


    "Adrian!" Cordelia''s face turned bright red. She felt her dignity was being trampled on.


    Adrian pointed at Cordelia, "Don''t raise your voice at me! Samantha told me you''re not Mom''s


    biological child, what right do you have to yell at me? And don''t scare the baby in your sister-inw''s


    belly."


    "How much do you want?" Ronan asked, smiling, but his gazes were as cold as ice.


    However, Adrian only saw his smile. Adrian stretched out his hand, "This much."


    Cordelia thought to herself, Adrian had lost his marbles. He was asking for five million!


    "You''re out of your mind!" Cordelia scolded Adrian sternly.


    Adrian pushed Cordelia away, almost knocking her down, "Move." Adrian was clearly drunk; he even


    forgot how he got to where he was today. His attitude towards Cordelia became very rough.


    "Alright, I''ll give it to you when you get married," Ronan said.


    "Ronan, you''re a real pal! It''s a deal." Adrian, drunk as a skunk, gave Ronan a hearty pat on the


    shoulder.


    Ronan lightly brushed off his shoulder.


    After Adrian pushed Cordelia away, Ronan kept his eyes on him. Adrian started to shiver immediately.


    Ronan didn''t say a word, but Adrian already felt a chill, barely holding onto his ss.


    "Cordelia, talk to Mr. Evans if you got something to say." After saying this, Adrian retreated to his seat.


    Once he sat down, he realized he was covered in cold sweat.


    Cordelia didn''t see the look in Ronan''s eyes just now because she was standing behind him. Ronan


    turned his head and saw the shopping bag in Cordelia''s hand.


    "Go change in the bathroom."


    Ronan stood up and said to Cordelia, "Come with me."


    Cordelia worried that if she didn''t go, he would deliberately flirt with her and make Jamie feel


    ufortable. So she followed him.


    There was a bathroom in the private room, Cordelia helped Ronan take off his shoes and pants,


    saying, "Don''t be mean to my brother."


    "Why?" Ronan pretended to be clueless and asked Cordelia.


    "Just don''t."


    Cordelia couldn''t express her inner unease; she just felt very anxious. She had a feeling that the better


    Ronan treated Adrian, the bigger the problem became, and the more serious the hidden issues


    became. Because she could already sense Ronan''s anger, but he had been holding it in, deliberately


    creating problems for Adrian.


    "Is it wrong to be kind to my family? How should I defend myself?" He chuckled sarcastically, augh


    that was hard toprehend.


    At this moment, she was still squatting in front of Ronan, helping him adjust his underwear. "The nicer


    you are to him, I''m afraid he will..." Before Cordelia could finish, Ronan suddenly pushed her head


    down.


    Cordelia''s words got stuck in her throat. She could only hear the noise Adrian was making outside, and


    Kendra''s hypocritical voice, "What''s taking your sister and Mr. Evans so long?"


    When Cordelia stood up from the ground, her face red with anger, she muttered "bastard" and then


    stormed out. Then Ronan finished dressing himself and came out.


    Jamie saw the two of theme out one after the other, and seeing Cordelia''s red face, he knew what


    had happened. Jamie felt even more hopeless.


    Shelley was already feeling awkward; hearing Adrian''s angry words, she felt she hadn''t taught this child


    well. Adrian hadpletely embarrassed her.


    "Does Jamie have a girlfriend?"


    "Not yet."


    "What type of girl does he like?" Shelley asked gently.


    "Emm..."


    Kendra nced at Jamie and joked, "Mom, you might not know this, but Jamie likes girls like Cordelia,


    especially Cordelia. Too bad she already has a boyfriend."


    After Kendra finished, she nced at Ronan. He was staring at his coffee cup, mindlessly fiddling with

    it.


    "Huh?" Shelley instantly felt that asking this question was a total bummer, as it just paved the way for


    Kendra to stir things up.


    Kendra just loved to create a ruckus.


    "No worries. I''m going abroad by the end of the year." Jamie said, with a hint of regret in his voice.


    "Going abroad? That''s great." Shelley could only gloss over it like this.
