Hannah picked up the bowl on the table directly as she spoke.
As she was about to eat the dessert, she heard Cordelia say with a chuckle, "It's not that I can't bear to let you eat it, but you shouldn't eat this when you're pregnant."
Hannah froze as she held the spoon.
"This is imported from Southeast Aciatic. There are many expensive herbs in it. But it's not suitable for pregnant ladies. You might have a miscarriage if you eat it."
Janine scoffed, "Sister-in-law, Cordelia's parents sent this for my father. You sure are eager to take it for yourself."
Hannah was stunned. She put down the spoon and pushed the dessert away.
Franklin did not have the patience to stay. He stood up with his cane and went back to the house.
"Eh? What's wrong with dad!?" Noah asked foolishly. "Sister, is dad upset?"
Janine rolled her eyes at him.
"It's okay, wifey!" Noah looked at Hannah and said with a smile. "I'll get them to make you anything you like! All of the chefs are here. I'll—"
"Noah, yes, we have many chefs at home today, but dad got them here for Cordelia. It has nothing to do with you guys!" Janine's voice was cold.
"What are you doing, sister!?" snarled Noah. He dragged Hannah and walked out.
The latter pretended to advise him to have peace with his family. Janine was so mad that she threw a glass at them.
The glass was crushed. Cordelia quickly walked over to comfort her.
"Mom, it's not worth it to hurt yourself over someone like this!"
"It's disgusting!" Janine scolded ruthlessly. "Look at her, Cordelia! Do you think she's really pregnant?"
Cordelia paused and said nothing.
"I'm sure that b*tch isn't pregnant at all!" Janine said coldly. "I'm sure she wants money again, so being pregnant is just one of her excuses. Just watch. She'll say that she suffered a miscarriage when she gets money a few days later!"
However, Cordelia and Zephyr did not think the same.
