All Chapters of My Husband Faked His Death, So I Married a Billionaire: Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

Cordelia could not help laughing at Chloe’s pitiful expression.She reached out and pinched Chloe’s cheek, her tone indulgent. “Of course. I like spending time with you too, Chloe. Staying with you for a few more days won’t be a problem.”Chloe’s eyes instantly lit up. “Really? Delia, you’re the best!”Cordelia smiled and took the insulated lunch bag out of her purse. “I made breakfast for you. You can have a little in the car. I’m guessing Mr. Wright must have something very important to handle today, so he didn’t have time to prepare this for you.”Chloe took the lunch bag and hugged it to her chest, saying excitedly, “Delia, you made this especially for me?”Cordelia’s heart softened. “That’s right. Open it and see if you like it.”Chloe carefully opened the lunch bag and saw two little bear-shaped pancakes inside. They were adorable.“Delia, these are so pretty! I love them!”She immediately picked one up and took a bite. “It’s so good! Delia, yours tastes way better than the ones

Cordelia did not expose her, nor did she have the patience to argue. She looked at Sylvia, her tone very calm.“Everyone has to stand on their own eventually.”Sylvia smiled and said nothing more, but a flash of coldness passed through her eyes.Felix stood beside them, his gaze fixed on Cordelia. His brows were slightly furrowed, and his expression was cold.He glanced at Sylvia, stayed silent for a few seconds, then slowly spoke to Cordelia.“Cordelia, come with me for a moment.”It was the same commanding tone as always, completely different from the way he spoke to Sylvia.Cordelia’s heart sank. Felix had already turned and walked outside.Cordelia took a deep breath and said to Nora, “Nora, I’ll step out for a moment,” then followed him out.Outside the research institute, Felix stood with his back to the entrance. He heard Cordelia’s footsteps, then turned around and looked at her coldly.Cordelia stopped in front of him, her face expressionless. “What is it, Fabian? If there’

Sylvia had a PhD in pharmaceutical science, but so did Cordelia. If Sylvia was qualified to enter the research institute, then Cordelia had earned her place there too.Everyone was here on their own merit. Cordelia did not think she was inferior to Sylvia in any way.Cordelia did not respond. She withdrew her hand and slipped it into the pocket of her trench coat, looking at Sylvia with a calm expression. “Dr. Lane, you’re so capable. I’m sure you can organize your own data. I doubt you’ll need me.”Sylvia’s hand froze in midair, and her smile stiffened for a split second. But she quickly returned to normal, lowering her hand with a gentle smile. “Delia, you’re still as strong-willed as ever.”Cordelia ignored her and turned to return to the office. Just then, footsteps came from the staircase.Paul Moore came down from upstairs. He was one of the institute’s senior researchers and had joined two years ago. He had always considered himself Warren’s most promising student, but in r

Elias smiled. “There’s been a lot going on at home, and the hospital has been busy too. I haven’t had much time to eat properly. It’s fine. I’ll put the weight back on after a while.”Cordelia knew about his family situation.Elias came from a well-off family. Both of his parents were doctors, and they always had high expectations for him.He had originally been Warren’s most promising student and had been doing perfectly well at the research institute. But his family insisted that he work at a hospital, saying the institute was too unstable and a hospital position offered more security.Elias could not win against his family. Two years ago, he left the research institute and joined a major hospital his family arranged for him. Although his work was still related to pharmaceuticals, it was no longer pure research.“I never thought I’d actually live to see the day you came back,” Elias said, looking at Cordelia with a complicated emotion in his eyes.Cordelia smiled. “Neither did I.

“Daddy, I want more of that!”It was Celia’s voice, carrying over from some distance away. Her voice was so bright and crisp, with that particular piercing quality children had, that every word came through clearly.From where Cordelia was sitting, she should not have been able to hear them at all. But Celia’s voice carried easily, and anyone could tell how happy she was right now. As long as she was not with Cordelia, she always seemed this happy.Cordelia and Elias both turned at the same time and looked past the edge of the booth towards them.Felix, Sylvia, and Celia were seated in a booth not far away. Celia sat in a child’s seat, a kids’ meal set in front of her. Sylvia was sitting beside her, cutting the burger into smaller pieces before pushing the tray toward her.There was a burger in front of Felix. He opened it, carefully picked out the onions Sylvia disliked, then wrapped it back up and pushed it toward her.Then he looked up at Sylvia, his gaze filled with a tenderne
