“Cordelia, what’s this?”
“Eat it.” Cordelia was expressionless. “It’s bad to eat instant noodles so frequently. How many times
have I told you that!?”
Linda felt a lump in her throat. There were tears in her eyes.
Cordelia looked at her for a long time. She finally stopped pretending and chuckled out loud.
“What’s this? It’s not the first time I brought you food. Must you cry?”
Linda swallowed the food in her mouth. Lifting her red eyes, she finally spat out two words.
“I’m sorry.”
Cordelia felt her heart thumping.
She knew how proud Linda was. She never stepped back and apologized whenever they fought.
However, she also knew how much she would be willing to bend over for her.
In reality, it was just an argument between two good friends.
It was not as serious.
Cordelia smiled. She held Linda’s hand—her eyes were mischievous yet gentle. “Okay, all friends fight,
don’t they? Since when do we hold grudges?”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt“Mm-hmm!” Linda chuckled with all her heart.
“Cordelia, the pork chop you make is the best!”
“Then stop eating this trash! I’ll bring you food whenever I cook.
“Hehe…” Linda revealed a big smile.
‘Gifts blind the eyes.’ After taking two bites, she instantly raised three fingers to swear. “Cordelia, I
promise I won’t b*tch about Marcus from now on! He’s my brother-in-law from now on. I’ll side with him
no matter what!”
Cordelia was not sure whether to laugh or to be mad. She finally laughed out loud after looking at her
for a while.
“Speaking of that, I have a question for you. Why did you always despise my husband?”
“I don’t…” Linda smiled in guilt. “Perhaps I have too many hopes for you. I always thought you’d marry
someone better!
“Marcus isn’t bad,” she whispered.
“Yes, yes, yes, as long as you like!”
She had almost finished the food when she burst into joy. However, she did not see the subtle change
of expression in Cordelia’s eyes when she looked at her.
“Hey, enough about me!” Cordelia poked her with her elbow. She asked while smiling. “Do you have a
crush that you didn’t tell me about?”
Linda almost choked and coughed hard.
“Don’t deny it!” Cordelia lifted her chin. “Seth went hiking too when you went during the weekend!”
Linda panicked. “It’s not what you think it is…”
“He panicked when he found out that you went hiking alone. He kept asking me what you usually bring
when you go hiking, especially in case you hurt yourself. He brought first-aid-kit and went looking for
you right away!”
Linda was stunned. Her cheeks were flushing as if she had a fever.
It was no wonder Seth had not only appeared when she sprained her ankle, but he had even brought
medical supplies for her emergency.
Meanwhile, she was so naive to think that perhaps doctors would usually bring backup supplies along.
Which doctor would bring ointment for sprains along for nothing!?
Linda secretly smiled.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmCordelia closed in. Their heads leaned on each other, shoulder-to-shoulder, just like when they were in
school.
“Linda, you like Dr. Stafford, right?”
“Stop it.” Linda suppressed her smile. “I’m only focusing on work now, nothing else!”
“But you are blushing…”
“Ahh, it’s too stuffy in here!” She ran away with the food container. “I’ll eat in the office. I’ll return the
container after I wash it!”
Cordelia revealed a helpless smile as she watched her leave.
She told Marcus what happened when she got home at night.
Suddenly, there was a smile on his usually cold face.
“Hmm, I think they’re a match,” he said with a deep voice. “Lately, Seth always mentions her whenever
I talk to him. So, they have liked each other since earlier.”
“What?” Cordelia widened her eyes. “Dr. Stafford has had a crush on Linda since the beginning?
“But she’s stubborn. She definitely won’t confess first. Dr. Stafford looks like a gentleman and not the
kind who would confess first, either… Ugh, they’re so annoying!”
