Chapter 177
"Mr. Emerson's suggestion is quite good. What do you think, Cordelia?"
It seemed that Ronan still gave Cordelia a chance to choose. What a swell husband and president he
was.
In order not to be transferred out of the Audit Department, Cordelia had to bite the bullet and agree.
"But I'm not good at writing," she emphasized. "I don't read novels."
"Well, just jot it down as daily life. Alright," Ronan said, "Hand it in daily."
Cordelia walked away with her head down, thinking: Was Samantha tattling again? Why did Jamie
keep stirring up trouble for her?
"Are you schooling your wife again? You really know how to pass the buck, I bet Cordelia will hate me
for this." Emerson grumbled, "Don't you realize you're too cunning?"
"No, I'm not. Let's get down to business."
Cordelia returned to her office and got to work. She found that keeping a diary was actually a good This is the property of Nô-velDrama.Org.
thing. Her work was chaotic every day, but writing it down made her day more organized. It was helpful
for her work, and many things in life could be recorded. When looking back, she could also know which
event happened on which day.
One day, when Cordelia went to visit Shelley, Shelley told her something: Ronald was injured in a
collision with a truck while he was driving a bus to make way for an ambulance. His leg was broken,
and he couldn't work after being discharged from the hospital, only getting a few hundred bucks in
welfare every month.
Shelley also told Cordelia, "Della, your uncle's family is also in a tight spot. Samantha might be a pain,
but she is still your cousin, and you should help her out. She might not treat us well, but we can't fight
fire with fire. It's not about being a pushover, it's about decency."
Cordelia just nodded.
Samantha seemed to have disappeared from Millstone after she left Lumos Enterprises. Cordelia also
recorded this in her diary.
One day, Cordelia went to hand in her diary and put it on Ronan's desk. He hadn't started reading yet
when it was time to clock out. Cordelia saw him get up and change his clothes, and then they went
home together.
The next morning, they went to work together, but when Cordelia arrived at the office, her diary was
already on her desk. Judging by the time, Ronan probably didn't have time to read her diary.
Cordelia tried to test him a few times and found that he always did this.
Cordelia was sure. He didn't even read it, he was just going through the motions. In the future, she
became bolder when writing her diary. Once, she even wrote her true thoughts at the end. Ronan was
a jerk, and he acted like a tyrant every night.
She even drew a solid star at the end of each entry, sometimes she didn't, but that was rare.
At the end of the month, Cordelia had a problem she was too embarrassed to tell anyone — she was
skint.
She also recorded this in her diary. After all, even though she handed it to Ronan every day, he didn't
read it, so it was like writing to herself.
Even though Cordelia was broke, she felt a lot better. She also realized that their marriage might end
abruptly one day, but she was very happy during this time. Her mother was a very smart woman.
Having dreams but being broke was a bitter pill to swallow.
Lumos Enterprises paid salaries on the 8th of each month, and there were still ten days left. She didn't
even dare to go out for lunch now, so she made lunch at home in the morning. The food was not rich;
she cooked whatever she had at home and took it to the office.
"Aren't you cooking for me anymore?" Ronan asked.
"Yeah, after you had that fancy private kitchen dish last time, I'd better not cook anymore," Cordelia
said, "Mainly because the Audit Department is so busy right now, going out for lunch would waste a lot
of time."
Ronan didn't say anything, but he noticed that Cordelia's food was not as plentiful as before.
Cordelia originally planned to grit her teeth and get through this period, but unexpectedly, the person
who delivered shirts to Ronan came again.
When it rained, it poured.
