The Contracted Ever After (Cordelia and Ronan) novel Chapter 158

Emerson looked at Ronan, but Ronan stayed silent. Ronan's face was full of dissatisfaction, his gaze falling on Cordelia. He was upset because Cordelia hadn't been home for a long time.

All for some guy, she was totally smitten.

She hadn't explained anything to him, and their communication on Messenger had been cut off for a while.

The two of them stood in front of Samantha and Cordelia. Samantha thought to herself, “It would be fun to embarrass Cordelia in front of Mr. Evans.”

"Cordelia, don't be mad at your husband. He didn't mean it," Samantha pretended to whisper, but made sure Ronan and Emerson could hear.

Cordelia thought, “So Samantha knows about her and Ronan. The office gossip is really something.”

But why bring this up in front of Ronan? Was she socially awkward, or was she trying to play the good guy?

She gave Samantha a puzzled look, then glanced at Ronan. At this point, Emerson turned his head to look at Ronan, too.

"You should make up with him. This can't go on forever, and you have to go back home," Samantha said again.

Cordelia gave an awkward laugh and mumbled a response. Hearing Samantha's words, Ronan thought her way of persuading was quite good. So this was the Samantha that Adrian mentioned, Cordelia's cousin. Although her words were a bit inappropriate, she was smart and knew how to butter him up.

"It's not his fault he did that." Samantha added.

Cordelia looked at the elevator panel and thought, “When will this elevator reach the first floor?” She was extremely embarrassed by her cousin.

"I get it. Just stop." Cordelia lowered her head.

Samantha thought, “She's blushing, so my tactic worked. Next time, I should find a more embarrassing situation to make her uncomfortable, and make her unable to stay at Lumos Enterprises.”

The elevator reached the first floor. Emerson and Ronan exited first.

"Someone's speaking up for you. That person seems to be Cordelia's relative. I bet Cordelia will be back home soon," Emerson said.

"Stop talking nonsense!" Ronan scolded Emerson. But deep down, he was relieved.

Arriving at the lobby, Cordelia, and Samantha parted ways. Cordelia boarded the bus home.

The next day, Samantha went out to deal with business and came home early in the afternoon. Her job was in sales, so she was usually out and about and didn't need to clock in at the office.

Adrian didn't often stay at this house.

Kendra was thrilled to see Adrian's luxurious four-bedroom house, and with the scandal at Jamie Colby's company, her preference naturally tilted towards Adrian. But Adrian's cousin Samantha had come to visit, and she wasn't happy, so she moved back home, and Adrian followed.
