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?”
Was it?
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?
