Chapter 101 Some Problems
People always said that pregnancy can make a woman a bit scatterbrained.
Cordelia felt that she had indeed become a bit stupid.
More precisely, the pregnancy seemed to make her drown in affection.
That day, Imogen had undergone a minor cervical polyp procedure, while Cordelia had opted for an
ultrasound to check on the baby’s development.
Unexpectedly, Ben and Elijah had somehow gotten the news and arrived together.
They stormed in, clearly under the impression that the two friends were there for some joint abortion
procedure.
Although neither of them was there for an abortion, Cordelia was indeed pregnant.
When Cordelia found out that she was pregnant, she felt like she had just gone through a rollercoaster
ride of emotions, not knowing whether to be joyful or sad.
Fate really had a twisted sense of humor.
Even now, she hadn’t made up her mind about whether to tell
Elijah and his families about her pregnancy. This material belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.
“Cordelia, I haven’t asked you yet, but how did the checkup go that day?” Imogen asked, noticing that
Cordelia seemed absent-minded while sipping her coffee.
“Same old. It was fine,” Cordelia replied absentmindedly, poking at the small pastry in front of her with
her spoon.
“Really?” Imogen raised an eyebrow. “Then why have you been touching your belly so often lately?”
“Have I?” Cordelia blinked innocently.
“And also, the other day when you were at my place, you puked when you smelled the smoke,” Imogen
pressed on.
Cordelia placed her hand on her forehead. “It seems like I can’t hide anything from you.”
“What? You’re really… pregnant?” Imogen suddenly stood up excitedly.
“Imogen, can you not be so surprised?” Cordelia wished she could find a hole to hide in.
“Oh my goodness, Cordelia, you’ve finally made it! Congratulations!” Imogen exclaimed.
Then, she took out her mobile phone and was already planning to buy some gifts for Cordelia’s baby.
Cordelia asked helplessly, “Imogen, can you please keep this a secret for now?”
Imogen paused, realizing she had gotten carried away with her
excitement.
She nodded and said, “Cordelia, you’ve been waiting to have this baby for three years. You’ve always
been living a tough life. This is your chance to reach a higher status now. Why hesitate?”
Cordelia leaned on her hand, looking somewhat melancholic. “I admit that it might be because Elijah
has suddenly become nicer to me, or maybe his grandfather said something to him. He’s treating me
much better than before, but I still can’t completely trust him, and he feels the same way about me.”
Imogen understood what she meant.
It was, after all, a marriage without a solid emotional foundation, much like the situation she had with
Ben. Therefore, she could understand Cordelia’s worries.
“Cordelia!” Lamia’s cheerful voice came from the entrance of the
restaurant.
“What a carefree young lady. Her joy and freedom are truly envious,” Imogen remarked sardonically.
Cordelia smiled faintly and waved at Lamia.
“Hey, Cordelia, I came specifically to pick you up. We’re all going back to Grandpa’s place for dinner
tonight. He said there’s
something important to announce,” Lamia said.
Cordelia was taken aback, feeling a sense of unease. “What’s it about? Do you have any inside
information?”
“It’s certainly the most important thing on his mind! I guess it’s not about arranging a marriage between
me and Jacob, haha!” Lamia laughed heartily.
A sixth sense was telling Cordelia that something was amiss.
Surely, what Gideon was most concerned about was the prospect of having a great-grandchild.
And lately, Elijah’s attitude toward her had been exceptionally strange. A man who had always been so
desirous had suddenly started minding his behavior.
If she hadn’t accidentally caught him pleasing himself in the bathroom that day, she would have
suspected he had some unspeakable problems…
