The Contracted Ever After (Cordelia and Ronan) novel Chapter 177

"Mr. Emerson's suggestion is quite good. What do you think, Cordelia?"

It seemed that Ronan still gave Cordelia a chance to choose. What a swell husband and president he was.

In order not to be transferred out of the Audit Department, Cordelia had to bite the bullet and agree. "But I'm not good at writing," she emphasized. "I don't read novels."

"Well, just jot it down as daily life. Alright," Ronan said, "Hand it in daily."

Cordelia walked away with her head down, thinking: Was Samantha tattling again? Why did Jamie keep stirring up trouble for her?

"Are you schooling your wife again? You really know how to pass the buck, I bet Cordelia will hate me for this." Emerson grumbled, "Don't you realize you're too cunning?"

"No, I'm not. Let's get down to business."

Cordelia returned to her office and got to work. She found that keeping a diary was actually a good thing. Her work was chaotic every day, but writing it down made her day more organized. It was helpful for her work, and many things in life could be recorded. When looking back, she could also know which event happened on which day.

One day, when Cordelia went to visit Shelley, Shelley told her something: Ronald was injured in a collision with a truck while he was driving a bus to make way for an ambulance. His leg was broken, and he couldn't work after being discharged from the hospital, only getting a few hundred bucks in welfare every month.

Shelley also told Cordelia, "Della, your uncle's family is also in a tight spot. Samantha might be a pain, but she is still your cousin, and you should help her out. She might not treat us well, but we can't fight fire with fire. It's not about being a pushover, it's about decency."

Cordelia just nodded.

Samantha seemed to have disappeared from Millstone after she left Lumos Enterprises. Cordelia also recorded this in her diary.

One day, Cordelia went to hand in her diary and put it on Ronan's desk. He hadn't started reading yet when it was time to clock out. Cordelia saw him get up and change his clothes, and then they went home together.
