Married a Secret Billionaire novel Chapter 675

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.

Cordelia was unstable and nearly lost her balance but did not fall. Instead, she knocked into a warm and petite figure.

“Mrs. Hamerton, don’t be scared. I’m here!”

Fan took off her jacket and draped it on Cordelia as her furious glare felt like knives on Ava.

“Ms. Baker, what are you trying to do?”

Ava, unfortunately, collided against the wall when she was abruptly knocked to the side and felt her head buzz.

“You!” She was infuriated when she saw that it was Fan. “I’m taking my cousin-in-law to shop. What does it have to do with you?”

“You know well if you are just shopping or you have an ulterior motive!”

Fan did not want to speak much to her. If looks could kill, Ava would have already died more than a thousand times.

Although Fan’s death glare was not that powerful, the bodyguards behind her were enough to take care of Ava on the spot.

Fan nudged Cordelia into the changing room and closed the door. As she gave her order next, dozens of men in black darted out from each direction in the mall and surrounded the small shop.

Ava panicked as she looked around and asked Fan in a shaky voice, “W-What are you doing?”

“Afraid now, Ms. Baker?” Fan scoffed. “Didn’t you think of Mr. Z’s men kicking your *ss when you bullied Mrs. Hamerton just now?”
