Although Xyla had no intention of getting married again, Cordelia still thought that it was hopeful because of her
willingness for an acquaintance.
Therefore, she had been thinking of ways to pull the two together these days. Ultimately, the best method seemed
to be the most old-school as well—that was to come out and meet.
Cordelia first called Rowan and vaguely expressed that she would like to sit down somewhere with him for a chat
and explicitly asked him to bring the Siamese cat along.
When Rowan hung up, he felt a buzz in his ears and was delightfully surprised.
“Charlie, I didn’t mishear, did I?” he repeatedly confirmed in disbelief. “Cordelia wants to… She wants to have
coffee with me?”
Charlie felt like it was a miracle too.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtCordelia was gentle and approachable but almost never took the initiative to ask someone out.
Charlie frowned and suddenly caught a detail.
“Mr. Irwin, Cordelia asked that you bring the Siamese cat along!”
“Hmm, so?”
“You forgot? She had a tabby when you met at the veterinary hospital last time… Those two cats got along pretty
well!”
Charlie deduced, “Do you think Cordelia wants to… breed her cat?”
“Uh…” Rowan was simply puzzled.
What was there to do when their breed was not even the same?
In spite of it, this was an invitation from his daughter. He was not giving up on this chance, no matter how many
challenges and obstacles he faced!
It was just that where was he getting a cat? He had bought the Siamese cat to approach Cordelia—he had given it
away after that!
“Charlie! Quickly!” Rowan instructed, “Get another Siamese cat, a pretty one!”
Charlie assented and quickly did as he was told.
Rowan darted to his closet. His hands were shaking in thrill when he picked out his outfit.
The next day, he was all suited up with a tie and even a hat. With a Siamese cat in hand, he arrived at the cafe
Cordelia had asked to meet an hour earlier.
Before he went in, he practiced various smiles against the window. He finally decided on one with the best-ticking
angle and was going to go in when he heard the familiar voice at the corner of the street.
“Cordelia, slower! What hurry are you in?”
Rowan’s mind went blank, and his heart felt like it had ruptured.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmHe froze. While they came close, he abruptly dashed off to hide behind the pots of tall shrubs by the cafe’s door.
“Goodness, can’t you walk slower!” Xyla nagged with a chuckle carrying Ginger. “I have this one in my arms. How
could I catch up?”
Cordelia turned around and hooked arms with her mother with a beam. She was just a little too eager to let Rowan
and Xyla meet.
“Mom, I think the uncle will be here soon! Let’s go in first. Let’s not make him wait for us.”
“Mm, sure.”
Rowan hid nearby. As he watched the mother and daughter chat merrily, a pang came from his heart, and a tear
slid from his eyes.
Cordelia had never been late or let others wait a long time for her. This was what Xyla had taught her.
He had caused Xyla to become the family’s sinner, to be chased out of Southeast Aciatic, and to have no home.
Yet, she had given him a fantastic daughter and son, giving new meaning and hope to his life after this.
This was their difference—one was consumed by resentment and revenge, while the other was filled with love.
He had won Irwin Pharmaceuticals and the whole world, but he had lost her.
