Chapter 159 The Child’s Father
“My mother said that if I marry Jacob, she will give me half of her family’s shares as a gift. I won’t have to work in the future…” Lamia laughed loudly.
Cordelia was surprised, and she also felt happy for Lamia’s vigor and positivity.
At this time, not far away, Elijah’s cold voice sounded. “If you can’t change your laughter, you will never be able to marry into the Taylor family.”
Cordelia and Lamia turned their heads together and found that Elijah was standing not far behind them. Perhaps he had been listening to their conversation for a long time.
“Elijah.” Cordelia reached out to Elijah.
Elijah stepped forward and naturally held Cordelia’s soft hand in his palm.
Feeling that Cordelia’s hand was cold, Elijah frowned slightly and immediately took off his coat and put it on Cordelia.
Seeing Elijah’s movements, Lamia’s eyes widened.
She said, “Elijah, did I see wrong? I remember you didn’t know how to take care of people!”
Elijah stared at Lamia with sharp eyes, and she immediately shut up.
Cordelia explained, “Elijah is a reserved man, and he doesn’t bother to show affection in front of others.”
Elijah’s cell phone rang. He ignored Lamia and went to answer the phone.
Lamia approached Cordelia and hugged her arm. “Cordelia, did you teach Elijah? He never took care of women before.”
Cordelia said, “I didn’t. Maybe Eva taught him.”
Thinking of Eva’s squeamish appearance, Cordelia was surer of her guess.
However, Lamia denied it.
She said, “When Elijah was with Eva, he didn’t take care of her so naturally as he did to you. He would only do what Eva wanted.”
As Lamia said that, she started acting vividly.
At this time, the servant came to the yard to call them. It was time for dinner.
In the dining room, Gideon sat at the main seat.
Today he was wearing a suit with white patterns, and his gray hair was neatly pulled back on his head. His face was radiant,
and he was full of spirit.
He said, “I have something to announce to you today. Baxter’s family has a new kid.”
There was silence in the dining room.
It was Gabe who applauded first. “That’s good. Congratulations to Baxter’s family!”
Edith raised her head and gave Gabe a hard look. She asked Gideon, “Dad, what is going on?”
Gideon smiled and said, “Aaron has a first love…”
Hearing Gideon’s words, the people present had different expressions. This matter was too dramatic.
Besides, Aaron had an extramarital affair and had an
illegitimate child. His character was very bad.
However, Gideon didn’t care about this at all for the sake of the
child.
“I’m leaving for Tarssa City tomorrow to meet that child. During my absence, Gabe will be in charge of the family affairs,” Gideon said with a smile.
At this moment, Cordelia’s cell phone rang.
She glanced at her phone and frowned.
It was Ottilie who hadn’t contacted her for a long time.
Cordelia quickly left the table and went to the living room to answer the phone.
“Cordelia, what should I do? They took my child away!” Ottilie said.
Cordelia frowned and said, “Ottilie, calm down. Tell me slowly, who took your child away?”
“It’s the child’s father. He took the child away.” As Ottilie spoke, she began to cry.
“Ottilie, you have to tell me who is the father of the child. Who is he?” Cordelia had a strange feeling that this person might be…
Ottilie cried. “The child’s father is Aaron!”
