The True Heiress is the Reserved Fiancé's Exclusive Memory-Chapter 471 - 482: Biological Mother (9)

Feeling a bit embarrassed.

She rubbed her belly with one hand and looked at Aurora Cooper, giving a shy smile.

Her eyebrows were delicate, and her face was small. Wearing a light-colored sweater, she appeared even more well-behaved and charming, fair-skinned and youthful, her smile had a hint of pitifulness, so no matter how one looked at her, she was very tender-hearted.

Aurora Cooper glanced at her with a smile, and said softly, "Are you full already?"

"Yes." Mia Ginger nodded, "I can’t eat any more, I still have to go back for dinner later, or Aunt Lee will be upset."

"You can have dinner here too." Bradley Cooper suddenly said.

"No, thanks." Mia Ginger checked her phone, realizing it was already six-thirty, she quickly stood up and said, "Thank you, Chairman Cooper and Heavenly King, for hosting me, but I need to head back before it gets dark."

"Still calling me Chairman?" Aurora Cooper playfully looked at her.

Mia Ginger corrected herself, "Aunt Cooper."

"That’s better." Aurora Cooper laughed, wrapped her arm around Mia Ginger’s shoulder, and led her to the door, reluctant to let her go.

Mia Ginger put on her clothes and shoes, and bid farewell to both of them with a smile, then walked away with Chancellor.

Aurora Cooper watched her leave for quite a while before retracting her gaze, let out a breath, and said to Bradley Cooper, "Brother, this girl really pulls at the heartstrings."

"Huh?"

Aurora Cooper turned and went inside, briefly recounting Mia Ginger’s story.

Bradley Cooper quickly frowned.

Looking sideways at her, Aurora Cooper pondered, "I quite like this girl. If the search for her origins turns up nothing, I want to take her in as a goddaughter. What do you think?"

"Goddaughter?" Bradley Cooper thought for a moment and said softly, "I still feel that this girl is similar to you, both in age and birthday. Why not investigate her background? It’s possible she was adopted by her parents."

"Didn’t I say before?" Aurora Cooper glanced at him, "She’s not adopted; she even went missing when she was little. Did you forget?"

"..." Bradley Cooper hesitated and added, "It’s possible she was adopted from birth. If her parents never mentioned it, this child might not know. You also said earlier that her mother doesn’t quite like her. If they were her birth parents, they wouldn’t favor an adopted child over their biological one, right?"

Aurora Cooper was taken aback, momentarily speechless.

Isn’t that true?

How did she not think of that?

A smile suddenly appeared on her face. She quickly went to the living room, just as she was about to pick up her phone, it rang first.

"Amy," Aurora Cooper called out, "I have something here I need you to look into."

"Chairman, I have something regarding the young miss that I wanted to discuss with you." Amy’s tone carried obvious light-heartedness.

Aurora Cooper paused, "Then go ahead first."

"The orphanage director was found and said the young miss was adopted when she was a little over two years old," Amy’s voice was soft, "I have already looked into the adopters; the adoptive father is called Aiden Jiang, the adoptive mother is Charlotte Chester, and their status is not ordinary..."

"Surname Ginger?" Aurora Cooper paused, "Could it be that it’s the child Mia Ginger, whom we’ve met a few days ago..."

"Her name is Zuri Ginger," Amy corrected, "I’ve also looked into it. The daughter we met should be the biological one, the adopted daughter is the young miss."

"..." Aurora Cooper furrowed her brows, "Zuri Ginger? Isn’t she two years older than Mia Ginger?"

"How do you know?" Amy paused, "But that’s what I found out. I specifically asked the director, who said the Ginger Family wanted to adopt a child slightly older and wiser, so they reported her age as two years older."

Aurora Cooper: "..."

After a moment, she said in a low voice, "Alright, I understand."

"Should I arrange for you and the young miss to meet soon?" Amy asked.

"..." Aurora Cooper hesitated for a moment, then responded, "Yes. Arrange a meeting with the Gingers."

"All right."

Aurora Cooper let out a breath and hung up the phone.

"What’s going on?" Bradley Cooper asked, puzzled.

"The child has been found." Aurora Cooper looked at him with a strange expression, "They said it’s Mia Ginger’s sister, Zuri Ginger."

Bradley Cooper was stunned.

After a while, he hesitated, "The one who was sentenced to four years?"

Aurora Cooper pursed her lips, her face turning grim as she nodded, tossed her phone, and sat on the sofa.

Bradley Cooper’s expression changed too.

Similarly, he sat heavily on the sofa, deep in thought.

They didn’t speak for a long time.

After what felt like ages, he finally looked up at her with resignation and said, "It’s come to this, how about meeting first and then talking? The child ended up that way, and you’re primarily responsible as the mother. If you hadn’t abandoned her back then, would she have been adopted?"

"This feeling is really awful." Aurora Cooper said.

Bradley Cooper draped an arm over the sofa and sighed, "Whenever Amy schedules it, I’ll go with you."

"I don’t know yet."

"Don’t you want to meet?"

"Brother." Aurora Cooper looked at him, suddenly said, "I’m a bit scared."

"Afraid she’ll blame you?"

"I don’t know." Aurora Cooper rubbed her forehead heavily with her hand and sighed, "Maybe, I feel strange, a bit resistant to meeting, my mood... hmm, very complicated, something seems off, it shouldn’t be like this."

"It’s already come to this, thinking won’t help." Bradley Cooper stood up, "I’ll have dinner prepared, you rest for a while."

Aurora Cooper leaned into the sofa, her expression weary.

Meanwhile—

Aiden Jiang returned home with a complex expression.

He put down his bag and washed his hands, then went straight to the dining room for dinner.

After sitting down, he subconsciously glanced more at Zuri Ginger.

Zuri Ginger’s belly was slightly protruded; to hide it, she wore a very loose sweater. Noticing his gaze, she felt uncomfortable and looked up, "Dad, do you... have something to say?"

"Yes." Aiden Jiang simply put down his chopsticks and said sternly, "I have something to tell you."

"..." Zuri Ginger pursed her lips.

Aiden Jiang thought for a moment, then in a calm tone said, "Your biological mother is looking for you."

"Huh?" The three people eating meal together were all taken aback.

Aiden Jiang said directly, "It’s Aurora Cooper, the current chairman of Amanda Company, and she wants to meet you."
