Chapter 344


    Though Lumos Enterprises was off-limits to everyone, Edwin and Brooklyn were exceptions. Brooklyn


    was a good friend of Cordelia, who had just given birth.


    As Cordelia was about to be discharged, Edwin and Brooklyn visited her in the hospital.


    Seeing Cordelia''s nket not properly covering her, Edwin carefully tucked her in, saying, "You just


    had a baby, make sure you stay warm."


    Cordelia chuckled. "Edwin, you''re quite attentive. Brooklyn, you''re lucky."


    "Am I?" Brooklyn''s smile was a bit stiff.


    Edwin was not attentive to Brooklyn,


    he didn''t even know when her birthday was.


    After Edwin and Brooklyn left, another unexpected visitor came.


    It took Cordelia a while to recognize her. It was her former colleague, Marian, who had once deeply


    hurt her.


    When Cordelia was working at First Enterprises, she only saw Marian once during thepany''s


    annual g. She mainly heard her talking in the restroom, which left a bad taste in Cordelia''s mouth.


    Back then, everyone used to dress up. Compared to the make-up-free beauty before her now, it was


    like night and day.


    "Cordelia, don''t you recognize me?" Marian looked at Cordelia somewhat familiarly.


    "Marian?"


    Cordelia couldn''t believe that Marian hade to see her.


    Marian nced at Ronan, who was sitting on a nearby couch.


    Marian''s visit was as clear as a mirror to Ronan.


    "Cordelia, long time no see. You''ve given birth, your baby is so adorable." Marian''s tone was much less


    arrogant than before.


    Cordelia just gave a bitter smile.


    "I brought you a gift set to celebrate being a new mom. There''s a lot of stuff in it. Clothes for the


    newborn, skincare for you, back supports, and all sorts of things you can think of and can''t think of,"


    Marian said.


    Cordelia looked at Marian suspiciously. She felt that she had to be careful about epting anything


    from Marian.


    Seeing Cordelia''s expression, Marian looked a bit wronged.


    "I''ll just tell you straight, I had my dad change thepany name to Tang, and we haven''t had a single


    order since..." She nced at the nonchnt Ronan again.


    Cordelia also gave him a few nces.


    "Yes. I was just out of grad school and didn''t know how the world worked. I was stubborn and did a lot


    of things that I shouldn''t have. But that''s in the past now. Cordelia, can you forgive me?" Marian


    grabbed Cordelia''s hand.


    Cordelia nced at Ronan.


    Ronan was absentmindedly flipping through a magazine.


    Why Marian came to see Cordelia, only Cordelia knew. It must have been because Ronan had blocked


    all of her projects, giving her a hard hit. Now, she was smarter and came to see Cordelia, which was


    actually her way of pleading with Ronan.


    "Okay," Cordelia said.


    "Shall we high-five?" Marian suggested like a child. "And I''m not like Samantha, I won''t scheme against


    you. You can use this newborn gift set with ease. Now that I''ve taken this step and I''ve let go of the


    past, let''s not hold grudges against each other, okay?"


    Cordelia analyzed Marian''s sincere expression. "Okay. Let''s high-five."


    After high-fiving three times, Cordelia said, "But it won''t be much useing to me, Jamie is one of the


    top ountants at Millstone, you should connect with him more. It''s always cooler under a big tree."


    "It''s easier said than done. We haven''t talked in a long time because of you." Marian added, "I was so


    reckless back then, I didn''t know any better. Can you y mediator and help mend things?"


    "My words don''t carry much weight, I''m afraid I won''t be able to persuade him. But I''ll give it a try."

    Cordelia said this for Ronan to hear, so she nced at him.


    She was afraid Ronan wouldn''t let her contact Jamie.


    "Deal. Now, you rest and take care of yourself during this postpartum period, I''ll leave now." After


    saying this, Marian left.


    In the room, only Cordelia was left with Ronan, and their baby in the crib.


    "You understand what I mean, right?" Cordelia asked Ronan.


    After Cordelia asked, Ronan replied, "Hmm, what do you mean?"


    "Are you ying dumb on purpose?" Cordelia was exasperated.


    Ronan lowered his head. "God arranges people''s fate, not you."


    He left Cordelia speechless.


    Cordelia noticed how attractive Marian was. She also seemed like a passionate person. Cordelia


    thought about setting her up with Jamie so that Ronan would stop misunderstanding her rtionship


    with Jamie. If Jamie had a lover, he wouldn''t think of Cordelia anymore.


    But after what Ronan said, Cordelia suddenly felt like an old-fashioned matchmaker, especially the


    shameless kind.


    She pulled the nket over her head, no longer wanting to deal with Ronan.
