The Contracted Ever After (Cordelia and Ronan) novel Chapter 479

Marian stood five meters behind Jamie. Marian's demeanor now was completely different from when Cordelia was still in Millstone.

People around glanced at her, but they were all high-profile intellectuals at a conference. No one cared about such petty matters. They quickly turned their attention back to networking and making money.

Marian was dressed in a light gray business suit, with a pair of gold-rimmed glasses. She appeared capable and aloof, seeming rather unapproachable.

"Hey, Marian. Cut it out!" Jamie said to her.

Marian completely ignored Jamie and walked up to Cordelia.

"Long time no see, Ms. Haselwood."

"Hello." Cordelia responded.

"Ms. Haselwood, why are you hugging my man as soon as you meet?" Marian asked.

"Your man?" Cordelia vaguely remembered that the two of them were not a couple.

Jamie, standing behind Marian, shook his head.

Jamie still had feelings for Cordelia, who had been out of touch for years. Without the consent of the person involved, parental approval was meaningless.

Over the years, Marian introduced herself as "Jamie's fiancée". Jamie never corrected her; after all, it would be quite embarrassing for a woman to be publicly corrected.

After reading the message, Cordelia put her phone aside. Her mindset was completely different now, compared to three years ago.

Sean and Sally came to Cordelia's room to discuss which parts of the forum could be applied to their research. They had heard about the conflict, but they weren't clear on the details and didn't ask.

Just then, Cordelia's phone rang. She answered it.
