Chapter 445 Missing Someone

Afterward, Cordelia arranged a task for Elijah, asking him to discreetly

interact with Ben's alternate personality and ensure he wouldn't do

anything out of line. Otherwise, Ben's primary personality would take

the blame.

Elijah chuckled bitterly, "Having such a troublesome friend is truly my

misfortune."

Cordelia faintly smiled and said, "You're quite a good buddy!"

After taking care of things in Beilve City, Cordelia took the flight to

Verdania to pick up Amy.

Previously, she had already arranged a perfect background story for

Amy, so all she needed to do was go through an adoption process, and

Amy would officially become her daughter!

For the sake of authenticity, this process had to be followed. Cordelia

didn't dare underestimate the intelligence of Ben and Elijah.

After that, Cordelia brought Amy back and immediately took her to

meet Milo.

Amy had big eyes and long and thick eyelashes. She had fluffy and

lightly curly hair, which was styled into two small buns by Cordelia,

looking adorable.

Seeing that Cordelia had adopted such a beautiful little girl, Milo smiled

with narrowed eyes.

He said, "Oh, she looks so cute.”

After Amy got tired from playing and fell asleep, Cordelia settled her in

a room and then informed Milo about Amy's background.

"Mr. Carter, I'm sorry for keeping this from you. I had no chance to tell

you the truth before.” Cordelia spoke with a face full of shame. After all,

Milo was the elder who loved her the most.

Milo laughed heartily, stroking his beard. "Cordelia, you have such a

kind heart. It's never too late to say it. I understand the hardships of

you, young people. How could I blame you? Life itself is a journey, and

every one of us is on our own path.”

Cordelia looked gratefully at Milo and said, "Mr. Carter, I'm truly

grateful for your indulgence over these past two years."

"Cordelia, your deep affection and loyalty are rare noble qualities. I

hope both you and your friend will have smooth journeys in life.” Milo

smiled with kindness.

Cordelia was well aware that she could never repay Milo's kindness in

her entire lifetime.

That night, Cordelia stayed at Milo's place.

The next morning, Cordelia had breakfast with Milo and Amy.

Looking at Amy, whose eyes were pure, Milo asked, "Cordelia, have you

thought of an official name for Amy?"

After thinking for a moment, Cordelia said, "Could you please give Amy

an official name?"

She had already discussed with Imogen beforehand that Amy would

have the surname of Carter, and Imogen readily agreed and fully

supported it.

After all, her daughter would be able to grow up under the guidance of

a renowned doctor, which was an honor for Imogen.

Milo thought about it for a while. "Let's call her Aimee Carter!"

The word Aimee had a similar pronunciation as her nickname, Amy.

Cordelia was satisfied with this name and immediately informed

Imogen of the good news.

Later, Cordelia left Amy with Milo and went out alone to handle some

matters.

During lunchtime, Elijah returned to Beilve City, came to pick her up at

Undernet, and took her out for lunch.

Today, Cordelia was very quiet, as if she was worried about something.

While elegantly dining, Elijah discreetly observed Cordelia and

occasionally asked her some irrelevant questions, finding she was

absent-minded.

"Cordelia, are you worried?"

Cordelia twitched the corners of her lips and replied, "Is it that obvious?

I'm missing someone.”

Elijah’'s heart tightened.

In his mind, numerous speculations instantly surged. After all, Cordelia

had just returned to the country, yet she was missing someone else. It

made him extremely nervous!

Could it be her ex-boyfriend or someone who pursued her?
