Chapter 321


    Cordelia picked up the papers, scanning them thoroughly. After she was done, she let out a cynical


    gaining poprity,ying low, and appealing to the public through charity.


    Cordelia sat on the bed, folding the children''s clothes, and not uttering a single word.


    "What''s wrong?" Ronan asked.


    "Nothing. It''s fine." Cordelia thought to herself that Ronan had connections everywhere, even in the


    police department. The case of her mother''s death was closed fast, just like this case. No one was held


    ountable.


    How influential he was. Cordelia was no match for him. If he wanted to support Deanna, she had no


    say in the matter. After all, they had known each other longer.


    "I''m heavily pregnant now, and I''m finding it hard to keep up with work. From tomorrow, I probably won''t


    be able to help with thepany anymore. The ounts for PrimeBuild Contractors are done. Could


    you take them to the office for me?" She asked, standing up and going to the living room to fetch the


    ounts for Ronan.


    She was clearly upset, and Ronan could tell. "I''m supporting her so that she and Samantha will destroy


    each other. She''s just a target." Ronan tried to exin.


    "I didn''t ask you to avenge me, did I? I''m just frustrated. It just doesn''t sit right with me," Cordelia


    retorted, her eyes looking fearlessly at him. "You don''t need to exin anything to me."


    "Cordelia!" Ronan clenched his teeth in frustration.


    "Hmm? What is it?" She replied.


    Ronan was left speechless, and his anger was dissipating.


    During dinner, Cordelia served him food as usual, but she was unusually quiet. Ronan wanted to make


    out with her that night, but Cordelia was as unresponsive as a log.


    "The babies are yours. If something happens, I will be the one in pain, but I don''t know if you would feel


    any pain at all," she said indifferently.


    Hearing her words, Ronan lost all desire.


    Cordelia saw he had stopped trying, so she continued to sleep.


    The next day, when Ronan went to work, he specifically asked Janice to keep a close eye on Cordelia.


    "Don''t worry, Mr. Evans. I''ll make sure nothing happens while I''m here."


    Cordelia didn''t have any issues after waking up. She had been doing yoga at the office, but now she


    had to do it at home.


    In the morning, she was feeling quite down and told Janice she wanted to go down to the coffee shop


    to have a ss of milk, so Janice apanied her.


    Cordelia preferred the window seats at Starbucks, where she could watch the hustle and bustle of the


    streets. She received a message on Messenger. [Cordelia, are you free? If so, I''d like toe by with


    Brenda. Is that okay?]


    It was from Jamie. Jamie probably brought Brenda along to avoid any misunderstandings with Ronan.


    [I''m at the Starbucks downstairs. Come on over,] Cordelia replied.


    About half an hourter, Jamie and Brenda showed up at Starbucks.


    "Cordelia, you''re huge! Is this typical for women expecting twins? It''s quite shocking," Brenda


    eximed.


    From N?velDrama.Org.


    Cordelia simply smiled. "How did you two find the time to visit me?"


    "We just wanted to see you. Do we need to schedule it?" Brenda replied.


    If it were just Jamie, Janice would have stayed a little longer. But since Brenda was there as well,


    Janice left to run some errands.


    Jamie hade to see Cordelia because Ava had spoken to him the night before. She told him that


    Cordelia''s babies were Ronan''s and asked him to stop ying the role of the expectant father. She


    also asked Jamie to limit his contact with Cordelia. Jamie was worried that Cordelia might have


    overthought the situation, so he decided to visit her. To avoid any misunderstandings with Ronan, he


    brought Brenda along.


    Brenda also knew now that Cordelia''s babies were Ronan''s.


    "Why do you look so unhappy, Cordelia? You''re about to have babies!" Brenda and Jamie each


    ordered atte.


    "Don''t even mention it. My grandmother passed away recently, and it''s been quite draining. I feel like I


    can''t keep up," Cordelia said, holding her head in her hands.


    "I heard about your grandmother from Adrian," Jamie said. "I''m really sorry for your loss, Cordelia. But


    she was already quite old."


    Cordelia sighed. "You have no idea."
