Ava was attentive and considerate when they shopped. She was incredibly thoughtful the entire time. When they passed by a lingerie shop, she insisted on entering and checking it out with Cordelia. “Cordelia, this brand is well known in Chaiseland! The designs are great, and the material’s comfortable! Let’s go in and try them?” “Ava, I’m a bit tired.” Cordelia refused nicely. “Fan will pick me up in a while. I’ll stop shopping now and wait for her here.” “Huh?” Ava looked disappointed. “Cordelia, I asked you to shop and you asked Fan over. Do you not trust me?” “Don’t overthink this. I just—” “Sorry, Cordelia. I didn’t do well enough.” Cordelia felt bad seeing Ava’s lowered head. Thinking that there were around ten minutes before Fan would arrive, she might as well go in and look around. Ava was delighted and helped Cordelia into the shop. She picked several maternity bras for Cordelia. The material was soft and comfortable, and the design kept pregnant women in mind. They were beautiful and practical. “Cordelia, go try them on. It’s on me!” “How could I?” “There’s no fault in giving you a present!” Ava’s smile was pure and jovial. Cordelia suddenly thought of Zennie, who was far away in Centrolis. She snapped out of it and took a deep breath before she waved with a smile. As months went by, her cup size went up as well. She did need several maternity bras like these. It was just that she could not let Ava pay for them. She did not want to owe her a favor like this. Cordelia took the bras and entered the VIP changing room under the sales assistant’s guide. Just as she took off her clothes and before she could try the bras on, Ava suddenly barged in! “Cordelia, I found a few ones like this. You—” “Ah!” Cordelia was shocked and quickly covered herself with her hands. Despite that, Ava stood rooted, and the door to the changing room was still wide open. Her eyes were fixed on Cordelia’s stomach. “Cordelia, you…” Cordelia’s heart thumped. She subconsciously wanted to cover her belly, but there was no way it would happen. She saw the ugly lines and marks on it through the mirror, and something seemed to erupt in her ears at that moment. “Cordelia!” Ava’s smirk was discreet and sinister. “What’s this? Your stomach… Are you okay?” “I’m fine, please leave!” Cordelia’s expression changed, and her tone went stern. This was the moment Ava was waiting for. Hannah had been to the hospital Cordelia regularly went for checkups and managed to probe about Cordelia having stretch marks.

animals. No matter how deep and romantic their love is, they’re disgusted once they see the marks on the women. Would he still love her?” Ava smirked in victory. She grabbed Cordelia’s clothes first and purposely asked aloud, “Cordelia, what’s that on you? Why are there lines on your stomach!?” “Give me back my clothes!” Cordelia shouted, “Get out!” Their voices attracted the sales assistants, prompting them to hurry over as they thought that something had happened, only to see the stretch marks on Cordelia’s stomach. “Cordelia, it’s okay!” Ava stepped forward to hold Cordelia’s wrist and pulled her out. “I picked a few more for you. Try them on as well!” “Let go of me!” Cordelia shoved her away but was afraid of hurting her baby if she exerted too much force. The moment she met Ava’s eyes, she saw the malice and deceit in the latter’s eyes. She felt helpless as if she was standing in front of everyone completely undressed. “Ava Baker, you—” “Cordelia, you aren’t planning to run out like this, are you?” Ava sneered with a raised brow. “What will Zephyr think if he sees these disgusting stretch marks?” Books Chapters Are Daily Updated Join & Stay Updated For All Books Updates… “Let go!” Cordelia shrieked. Suddenly, a figure flashed past and knocked the two of them apart! Cordelia was unstable and nearly lost her balance but did not fall.
