Married a Secret Billionaire novel Chapter 654

Cordelia was stunned and failed to react.

Meanwhile, the lady introduced herself naturally. “You’ve never met me, cousin-in-law. I’m Ava, my dad is Noah. I’m sure you’ve met my dad!”

“Oh!” Cordelia came to a realization. “So, you’re Zen’s cousin.”

“That’s right!” Ava smiled.

Cordelia had seen Zephyr’s uncle at the family dinner.

He was a strange man. He was plump like a ball, and he looked wicked when he smiled. His existence made one uncomfortable.

It was said that he was also the person among the Bakers who was against Janine and Zephyr the most.

He would always say privately: “Why get someone with a different family name to take over the Bakers’ matters?”

However, he would flatter them when they were around.

Ava was not Noah’s daughter. She was his wife’s daughter with another man. They said she was great at pleasing the adults. He loved her, giving her the life of a princess.

Nobody in the Bakers dared to say that she was a drag.

It was said that she had asked to change her family name when she was ten. The old man had disagreed at first. After her and her mother’s years of persuasion, she finally got to change her last name to Baker when she became an adult.

The Bakers did not say anything on the surface, but they would secretly mock her.

“Why change her family name out of nowhere? She just wants a share of the interests and estates!”

“Nobody knows if she will get anything! Ha, don’t conclude anything now just because the Bakers’ first daughter is taking over. The grandson with a different family name will take over in the future!”

“Would he trouble his own uncle?”

“We don’t know that! Let’s see.”

…

Cordelia smiled courteously at Ava when she snapped back to her senses.

“I didn't know what to get you when we’re meeting for the first time, so I got you some Southeast Aciatic dishes. This is embarrassing!”

“Oh…” Cordelia shook her head, “It’s not—”

“I’m sure you’re hungry?” Ava passed her the cutlery. “Try them and tell me if they’re delicious!”

Cordelia was worried.

She could not eat the food before finding out if Ava was a friend or a foe.

Someone had put mercury in Zephyr’s cake when he was nine… It seemed the situation in the Bakers was nothing better. She should be cautious.

“Cousin-in-law…” Ava looked at her with her big, innocent eyes. “Why aren’t you eating?”

“Ha, it’s not that I don’t want to eat, it’s just that… I suddenly lost my appetite.”

“What?” Ava looked shocked. “A pregnant woman is so fickle-minded when it comes to her appetite?”

Cordelia showed an awkward smile and said nothing.

Ava seemed to have seen through Cordelia. Her voice became soft. “Don’t tell me… you suspect I put something in your food?”

“No, no!” Cordelia did not want to make things awkward. “Don’t take it the wrong way. I really just lost my appetite suddenly…”

“If you’re suspicious, I’ll eat it first!”
