The party was in the yard. String instruments were played melodically, with the aroma of wine drifting in the air.
The roses in the garden were in full bloom too. It felt as if one was back in the 16th century Eropah with a dreamy
tinge.
With her very pregnant belly, Cordelia socialized with Zephyr among the crowd. Zephyr felt bad about her difficulty
in walking and was going to carry her when she held his arm.
“What?” The man chuckled. “Didn’t you say that you don’t need your legs anymore after you’re with me?”
“I still need them now!” Cordelia whispered harshly, “It’s not nice in front of your family!”
“What does coddling my wife have to do with them?”
Cordelia chuckled but stopped him anyway.
“Our Cordelia’s simply too sensible!” Janine said in a lowered voice as well, “It’s nothing to let him carry you. Your
feet look so swollen… It must hurt?”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtCordelia shook her head docilely.
A woman’s shrill voice came from afar. “Oh, our Mrs. Hamerton’s really so sensible! So much so that she doesn’t
distinguish her elders!”
Janine frowned. It was Hannah.
The latter sauntered over. Her stomach was still flat, but she was like a queen who needed an entourage
surrounding her.
Janine rolled her eyes. “Cut the crap! Do you think you can slander anyone just because you’re pregnant? Are you
crazy?”
“Janine, you’ll find out in a while who’s crazy!”
Their argument attracted the attention of relatives and friends, but they only watched on without a word, holding
their wine glasses and enjoying the free show.
Hannah saw that the timing was right and threw a stack of photos on the table.
The men caught in the photos looked sneaky and secretive, like they were following someone.
Cordelia and Zephyr exchanged a smile.
They had long known that Hannah had her guard up against them. She noticed that she was being followed, so they
played along and asked the bodyguards to act more obviously so she could capture them in the photos.
“Janine, look at these! These are your wonderful son and daughter-in-law?!”
Janine was unfazed as she sneered. “What about it?”

“What about it?” Hannah widened her eyes. “They sent people to follow me!
“Janine, I don’t know why they’re doing this but isn’t the trick a little dirty?”
Hannah palmed her head. “Once I think about how I’m being followed, I get into a bad mood. Once I get into a bad
mood, it affects my baby…”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThe guests around them whispered to each other.
“Yeah, for whatever it is, Hannah still carries a Baker child.”
“Zephyr and Cordelia doing this obviously means they can’t accept Hannah and her child!”
“Hah, Janine might be the one behind it…”
Once Hannah heard that the discussion was on her side, she continued to fuss unreasonably and threw herself to
the floor. “This is so unfair! I’m just having a baby! Why are you doing this to me!?
“Noah, I’m sorry! Since your nephew and niece-in-law hate this baby so much, we don’t want it so they won’t be
upset…”
Noah quickly went forward to pull her up as he scolded Zephyr and Cordelia without much thought.
Cordelia held Zephyr’s hand, and he held her back, giving her a gentle and firm smile.
They waited a bit more, and Zephyr put Cordelia behind her to step forward and scanned with his cold gaze
everyone, landing it on Hannah. “Aunt Hannah, get up and talk.”
Hannah stood her ground and refused to.
Zephyr stood before her and looked down with a sneer. “You like talking with your head up? Not much difference
from kneeling down, I guess!”
