The Contracted Ever After (Cordelia and Ronan) novel Chapter 13

Cordelia didn't get why he suddenly brought this up, but since she had already claimed she had a boyfriend, she had to keep up the charade. "Ex or current boyfriend?"

Ronan snorted, he hadn't expected his wife to be so charming. "How many boyfriends have you had?"

"Just two."

Just two? Seriously, only two?

"What's the name of your current boyfriend?" Ronan asked gruffly.

Coming up with a name on the spot was tough, but someone named Jamie just sent her a friend request. So, without hesitation, Cordelia said, "Jamie."

The world was so big, how could Ronan possibly know Jamie?

"His name is Jamie?" Ronan asked, frowning.

"Yes, do you need to talk to him for anything?" Cordelia responded confidently.

"You are not allowed to sleep with him while we are married! I find it disgusting." Ronan ordered Cordelia.

His attitude made her uncomfortable as if she was being treated like a second-hand good. "Mr. Evans, rest assured, I have strong professional ethics. I know what I should and shouldn't do. Besides, he is currently interning out of town and can't come back. Even if I wanted to sleep with him, it's not possible," Cordelia retorted, her words not fitting the mood of the evening at all.

Perhaps it was Cordelia's cold attitude that killed Ronan's desire, although he still remembered their first night together, the comforting feeling, and her warm cheeks, which were hard to forget.

But tonight, he realized something, this intern was not so easy to control. He couldn't let her affect him like this; if he did, she would seize the opportunity and be even more reckless.

He got off Cordelia.
