The Contracted Ever After (Cordelia and Ronan) novel Chapter 209

Cordelia got home to find Amanda roasting a turkey.

Janice whispered to Cordelia, "Ronan's mom has been making turkey for ages, but Ronan just won't bite. If he won't eat, she'll just keep cooking."

Cordelia thought to herself, "Ronan, you were really breaking Amanda's heart."

Cordelia decided to pitch in and help with the turkey roasting. She intentionally roasted the turkey till it was a bit burnt. It was quite obvious.

Ronan came down from upstairs and saw Cordelia roasting the turkey. "Do you know how to roast a turkey too?" He asked.

"Yeah, I didn't have the time last time. Thought I'd give it a shot this time, wouldn't want to let you down." Cordelia replied.

Ronan didn't say anything and sat down on the couch to read. Once the turkey was ready, Cordelia served it up, got some cutlery, and sat next to Ronan. "Give it a try." Cordelia cut a piece of turkey to feed Ronan.

Ronan took a glance and said, "I'm not eating that one."

"Not eating this one?" Cordelia was confused.

Cordelia switched to the slightly charred turkey she roasted. Ronan took it and ate. Finally, Ronan ate the turkey, but he only ate the one Cordelia made.

Amanda was watching from the side. Seeing Ronan only eat the turkey Cordelia made, she quietly walked to the kitchen, wiping her tears.

Cordelia wanted to make Amanda happy. If she spilled the beans, it would be too heartless. She smiled. She thought Amanda made a good point.

Before leaving for home, Olen had already started contacting a university in Millstone. He was now at school and not at home.

"Ronan, you're hurting your mom's feelings. After all, they're your parents." Cordelia told Ronan after going upstairs. “Can't you consider your parents for a change? They've been through a lot, which is a normal reaction for anyone. They're back with you, and the family is together again. Can't you forgive them?" Cordelia advised him like a loving mother.

"We'll discuss it later." Ronan said and picked up his book.

When Cordelia called his name, it seemed to stir something in him. As Cordelia walked past Ronan, he suddenly grabbed her hand, pushed her onto the bed, and began kissing her.
