Cordelia put one hand behind her back, tightly clenching her fist while maintaining a calm demeanor on the surface. "Living together after engagement is quite good."
"Cordelia, do you want your four elder brothers to go to Beilve City and beat him up? Teach that scumbag a lesson!" Imogen said excitedly.
Cordelia shook her head. "Forget it. No need."
"But..."
"Imogen, through this experience, I've learned to cut losses in time. Wasting time and energy on someone unworthy is the most foolish thing to do."
Cordelia suddenly felt a bit more relaxed after speaking. She slowly relaxed her hand that had been clenched behind her back, which had grown somewhat numb.
Imogen didn't notice anything strange about Cordelia throughout their conversation.
Seeing Cordelia handling things so well, Imogen felt genuinely happy for her, glad that she was moving on from her heartbreak so quickly.
Later on, Cordelia didn't stay for the meal. She and Eason both had work to attend to, so they left separately.
Imogen looked at the sumptuous meal in front of her, feeling a bit worried.
Meanwhile, Adam had already finished a bowl of rice and was elegantly wiping the corners of his mouth.
"Imogen, eat a little bit more. Even if you manage to throw it up later, absorbing some nutrients before that would still be beneficial. It's important for the baby's growth," Adam advised with concern.
Imogen worriedly asked, "Adam, aren't you concerned about Cordelia at all?"
"Don't worry, Eason is here," Adam said mysteriously, "You probably don't know a secret..."
Imogen perked up her ears, eager to hear the secret. However, Adam suddenly stopped himself and didn't continue!
"Hey? Tell me!" Imogen raised her eyebrows.
Adam got up and smiled. "Let me think about it. How should I put it? Where should I start?"
"Adam, did you do it on purpose?" Imogen immediately widened her large eyes and added, "No, you have already successfully piqued my interest. You must say it today!"
While the two were playfully fooling around in the room, someone suddenly rang the doorbell.
