Rowan panicked. He was stunned as he looked at Cordelia.
What was happening? Was his daughter testing him?
Or did Xyla know that he was in Centrolis and got Cordelia to test him? To see if he still liked her?
Tiny droplets of sweat dripped from his nose. His heart was pounding.
Cordelia did not know that he had so much going on in his mind. She only thought her question was so sudden that
it scared him.
Even if she was in a hurry to look for a partner for her mother, she should not ask so directly!
“I’m sorry, I’m sorry.” She kept apologizing. “I didn’t mean anything ill, Uncle Irwin. I won’t ask if you don’t want to
answer that!”
“I…” Rowan smiled awkwardly. “I’ve actually never thought about that. I’ve been busy with work and medical
research these years. I’ve long forgotten about this.”
“Isn’t it great to have someone to spend your life with?”

Great?
Rowan felt melancholic.
Apart from Xyla, there was nobody in the world that he wanted to spend his life with.
However, perhaps she would never forgive him.
“I’ll think about this later.” He smiled perfunctorily. “Building the hospital is more important than anything!”
Cordelia nodded and continued working.
Rowan was tossing and turning that night, unable to sleep. He only fell asleep when the day was breaking.
Charlie woke him up when he only had less than two hours of sleep.
“Sir?” Charlie was shocked to see him looking sleepy with dark eye circles.
Rowan was an extremely disciplined person. He would have a strict time to sleep and go to work. He would not
delay any of it for even a second.
What happened to him today?
“Sir, we’re meeting the Hamertons’ family head. Don’t tell me you’re going, looking like this?”
Rowan was stunned.
He just recalled that he was visiting Liam today.
He washed up, changed immediately, and ate breakfast in a rush. Fortunately, he had prepared a gift beforehand,
so he did not have to rush that as well.
He looked terrible along the way. Just like the dark clouds outside the windows, he looked gloomy.
Liam was friendly when they met, while Rowan maintained a neutral manner. He almost made a slip of the tongue
a few times as he wanted to ask about Cordelia. However, he would always swallow his words.
What right did he have to be asking that? Who was he to ask that?
He forced a smile and tried lifting his spirit.
Clark sent him to the door when he was leaving.
“Please wait.”
Rowan smiled courteously. “Mr. Hamerton is too kind!”

master. Please accept it.”
Rowan lifted his eyebrows and got Charlie to accept it. Eventually, he could not hold back and asked Clark, “Is your
master so nice to everyone?”
“The Hamertons are a big family. It’s natural that we’d need to excel in our etiquette.”
“So… I heard Mr. Z brought a lady over. Is your master as nice to her as well?”
Clark was stunned. He thought Rowan was really powerful to even know about that.
However, why did he care about that?
Clark remained calm as he answered with a smile, “That’s right. Although our master looks strict and intimidating,
he’s actually soft inside. He loves young people especially.”
“So, he likes that lady?”
Clark did not say it directly. Instead, he answered. “As long as Mr. Z likes her.”
“Will the granddaughters-in-law be bullied when they marry into the family?”
“Err…” Clark was feeling more and more annoyed. He looked at Rowan in confusion.
