The Contracted Ever After (Cordelia and Ronan) novel Chapter 331

With a huff and a puff, Ronan managed to carry Cordelia only a few steps before having to put her down.

"What do you weigh now? Two hundred pounds?" Ronan frowned, eyeing Cordelia up and down.

"No way! Quit your nonsense." Cordelia poked Ronan in annoyance.

The pair boarded the elevator and headed upstairs.

As soon as they entered the room, Ronan had Cordelia pressed against the door, showering her in kisses.

The kisses left Cordelia breathless and flustered.

"You start dinner. I need to rest." Cordelia's forehead was lightly beaded with sweat.

She was exhausted.

Back in the room, Cordelia lay on the bed, scrolling through her phone while resting. She noticed Ronan liked the latest post on her Facebook timeline.

His like was a declaration to everyone that the picture wasn't taken stealthily but with his consent.

All colleagues who liked or commented on the post would likely receive a notification.

Cordelia shot him a message on Messenger. [Are you free? Not cooking?]

Ronan didn't reply. He was probably busy.

By the time he entered the bedroom to call Cordelia for dinner, she had dozed off.

Ronan nudged her, waking her. She held his hand and smiled.

"I think it's quite nice without Janice here," Cordelia casually mentioned during dinner.

"You're happy when I'm busy?"

"Well, doesn't the husband have to help out when his wife is having his babies?" Cordelia retorted nonchalantly.

"What did you name the kids?" Ronan didn't respond to Cordelia's comment, asking his question instead.

"Uh, I haven't thought about it. You're the cultured one, you think of something." Cordelia sounded indiffere

Ronan paused. “How about Callum Evans for the boy and Edith Evans for the girl?”

“Which does Edith represent?”

“It's been so long, why do you keep bringing it up? Is it fun?” Cordelia mumbled, looking down.

“It's not fun. Eat up.”

Cordelia didn't say anything more.

Today, Cordelia was really tired. After dinner, she went to take a bath. Soaking in the tub felt wonderful.

As she was meditating with her eyes closed, Ronan walked in.

He began to undress and joined her in the tub.

Cordelia had been soaking for a while. Her face was a charming shade of peach.

Ronan began to kiss Cordelia, and she reciprocated eagerly.

She almost slipped to the bottom of the tub, but Ronan caught her under her arms.

With a panicked laugh, Cordelia looked at him, and her expression was completely naïve.
