The Contracted Ever After (Cordelia and Ronan) novel Chapter 138

Cordelia was eating in silence. "Leave some food for him," She suggested to Janice.

Cordelia's cheery mood was dampened by Ronan's sudden outburst of anger.

Barney a kept chatting with her to comfort her.

Cordelia tried to keep her emotions in check while talking to her grandpa. After dinner, she received a Messenger message from Brenda. [I sent my resume to Lumos Enterprises' HR Department today, applying for the position of CFO.]

[Really?] Honestly, Cordelia was thrilled about the news. Brenda was totally qualified for the job.

[Yeah. Jamie suggested I apply. I wasn't supposed to agree when he first brought it up, but Lumos Enterprises is worth considering, so I reluctantly agreed.]

There was a laughing emoji attached to the message.

[Great, we could work together then.]

Cordelia was not from the HR Department, so she didn’t know they hadn’t posted the CFO position on job-hunting sites yet. That was to say, the recruitment hadn't officially started, and Brenda had already sent her resume to the HR Department.

Cordelia went upstairs.

Ronan put down his book and looked at Cordelia. "When am I visiting your mum?"

"You're serious? I didn't force you." Cordelia was stunned.

"When?" Ronan was getting a bit impatient.

"Today is Friday, how about tomorrow?"

"Fine."

Ronan agreed, and Cordelia started feeling a bit anxious, thinking about what Ronan would pay attention to when visiting. She leaned on the headboard, thinking carefully.

"By the way, don't ever mention to my mum about our marriage being a contract. I'm afraid she would be heartbroken." Cordelia turned around and tugged at Ronan's arm.

"I won't."

Cordelia nodded, feeling relieved, but she had a feeling that something big was going to happen when Ronan visited!
