Chapter 280


    Though Ronan had aplete knowledge of Kendra''s movements, he couldn''t bring her before


    Cordelia for confrontation. Regardless of whether Shelley was killed by Olen or Ronan, it was a


    member of the Evans family whomitted the murder. He didn’t want Cordelia to resent him, much


    less Olen. Therefore, Ronan insisted it was an ident.


    On her way home, Cordelia, having nothing better to do, browsed through Facebook. She found a post


    from several days ago by Deanna. It was a picture of a table filled with delicate dishes, and a caption


    that read: ‘Dining with my dream guy.’


    Deanna had even tagged the location, a fine dining restaurant, with the date coinciding with the day


    Cordelia had lunch with Brooklyn. During those days, Ronan had been staying at Pearl Palms, with


    Cordelia unaware of his whereabouts. But she was sure as the sun rose in the east, Deanna''s dream


    guy was Ronan.


    Cordelia''s eyes flickered with confusion. Had he heard what she had said, especially about her n to


    go abroad in January? Did he make here to the office today just to keep her from leaving?


    Cordelia slightly furrowed her brows. Ronan, how could he be so unsettling, always one step ahead?


    ……


    A few dayster, Cordelia had a prenatal appointment. As the pregnancy progressed, the appointments


    became more frequent, with blood sugar tests almost every week.


    She didn''t tell Ronan about this appointment. In fact, she never did. She told Janice in the morning,


    then texted Tristi via Messenger.


    However, Tristi informed Ronan, "Mr. Evans, Mrs. Evans asked me to apany her to the prenatal


    Belonging ? N?velDram/a.Org.


    check-up today. I''m on my way to Garden Estates."


    Ronan responded with a voice message, "Just drop her off ande back."


    "Understood." Tristi said.


    After arriving at the hospital, Tristi said she would wait downstairs and let Cordelia and Janice go


    upstairs.


    Victoria was on duty that day. Cordelia usually timed her appointments to coincide with Victoria''s shifts.


    Victoria nced at Cordelia''s health indicators, "Your blood sugar control is good. How about his


    control?"


    "What?" Cordelia was confused.


    "I mean your husband, Mr. Evans. Is he still forcing himself on you?" Victoria, as a doctor, didn''t feel


    awkward asking this question.


    "Oh, he has been very restrainedtely." Even Cordelia was puzzled by his sudden tranquility, as if he


    was inplete peace of mind.


    Someone pushed the door open. Cordelia instinctively thought it was Janice, who had gone downstairs


    to pay for the ultrasound. They were having an ultrasound today to check on the babies. However,


    when she turned around, she saw Ronan. She didn’t know if he had heard what Victoria said.


    "Why are you here?" Cordelia asked calmly.


    "Why wouldn''t I be here for your prenatal check-up?" Ronan questioned.


    "I''m going for the ultrasound now. Gentlemen are not allowed, so you can wait here." With that,


    Cordelia left.


    The ultrasound results came out quickly. About ten minutester, Cordelia returned to Victoria''s office


    with the report. Just then, someone knocked on the door looking for Victoria to get a medical record.


    Victoria asked Cordelia to wait for a bit and she would be right back.


    In Victoria''s office, only Cordelia and Ronan were left. Just going for the ultrasound test had caused


    delicate beads of sweat to form on Cordelia''s forehead.


    Ronan saw this and felt a pang of sympathy. "Aren''t you going to wipe your sweat?" He asked. Then he


    took a tissue and began to wipe Cordelia''s sweat.


    Cordelia took the opportunity to grab Ronan''s wrist, "Did you find out about my n to go abroad?"


    Cordelia asked abruptly. Her small hand couldn''t grip his wrist. If he hadn''t been cooperative, how


    could she have had the opportunity to challenge him? She had challenged him many times before.


    Ronan wasn''t surprised by Cordelia''s reaction. He knew that once Deanna posted on Facebook,


    Cordelia would find out about it. "Is it a secret? Is Jamie the only one allowed to know?" He asked her,


    not stopping his action of wiping her sweat.


    "I must go! Don''t try to stop me." Cordelia said righteously.


    Under the sunlight, her forehead was covered in sweat. Her cheeks were slightly flushed, like the first


    rays of the morning sun.


    "Give birth to the child and I''ll take care of them. I won''t stop you from doing anything else." Ronan


    knew that if he tried to stop her, she might do something drastic.


    "Why would you take care of them?" Cordelia asked, her eyes filled with confusion. She was


    wondering, had he found any clues when Ava proposed on behalf of Jamie? His eyes were sharp as a


    hawk, always noticing things that others couldn''t.


    "You won''t find anyone more suitable than me who can provide for you. If the child is with me, you''ll


    So, he wanted to take care of the child not because he knew the child was his, but to make Cordelia


    <pe back. A ripple of emotion stirred in Cordelia''s heart again.
