Chapter 451 A Dangerous Thought
"Really? Congratulations to you then!" Cordelia laughed, happy for Eason and Susan on the news of their upcoming little angel
Eason was indifferent throughout the conversation, not mentioning a word about the child, while Susan couldn't stop talking about the baby. After a short chat by the road, Cordelia politely said her goodbyes. Susan and Eason watched as Cordelia's slender figure gradually receded into the distance.
"Eason, let's go!" Susan said softly, leaning into Eason.
However, Eason coldly pulled his arm from her grasp. "Let's go."
Susan paused, then hurriedly caught up with him in a few quick steps. "Eason, we've already confirmed our relationship and been intimate. Why are you still so cold towards me?"
Eason looked at her emotionlessly. "Did everything we said on the day we met mean nothing?”
"But..."
"There are no but. Our relationship will always be superficial, understand?" Eason spoke rapidly, seeming not to want to waste time on such a repeated topic.
A shadow crossed Susan's face, and she quickly grabbed Eason, who was turning to leave. "But Eason, I'm carrying your child!"
"So what?" Eason gave Susan a cold glance, then walked away without looking back.
If it wasn't for his reluctance to have the child become an illegitimate child like himself, Eason wouldn't even considered marrying Susan. Now, he felt trapped by both the child and this woman, and he wasn't happy about it.
Every time he thought of the child and Susan, Eason couldn't control his temper, and his pace quickened.
Susan stood there for a long time under the scorching sun, feeling only coldness.
On the day Imogen returned, Cordelia took Amy to Grant City to meet her international flight.
Imogen returned alone. Kenny was accompanied by Joyce.
That day, Cordelia and Imogen stayed in Grant City with Amy.
For convenience in Grant City, Cordelia had asked Adam to buy an apartment for her a year earlier.
Regular cleaning services were arranged so Cordelia could stay anytime. After more than two years, this was Imogen'’s first return.
Due to the time difference, she chatted with Cordelia like a night owl, talking about work and then men. After discussing the "brotherhood" between Joyce and Jacob, they began to gossip about Cordelia and Elijah.
Cordelia was extremely tired, responding with non-committal "hmm™ and "uh-huh" sounds.
As Imogen spoke, she sighed emotionally, “To be honest, Cordelia, I kind of wish Ben would disappear completely. Eric is truly my aesthetic ideal..."
For some reason, when Cordelia heard this, her mind suddenly cleared. She practically jumped up from the bed.
"Shush! Imogen, I warn you, don't ever share this dangerous thought with anyone other than me, okay?"
“This foolish girl! She must be tired of living!" Cordelia thought secretly.
