The Contracted Ever After (Cordelia and Ronan) novel Chapter 259

Cordelia was at a loss, unsure of what Ronan was trying to convey. She really didn’t know what to say, and what not to.

Ronan left for the living room.

Cordelia called Jamie into her bedroom. His eyes fell on the bed. There used to be only one pillow on Cordelia's bed, but now there were two. The other side of the bed was indented in the shape of a person, indicating who had been sleeping there.

So, they had shared the bed again.

“Happy New Year, Boss,” Cordelia said, running her fingers through her long hair, intending to tie it up. Her hair had grown longer.

Jamie gave a stiff smile. “Happy New Year, Cordelia. I went to church with my mom this year. She got you a pendant and blessed it, hoping it will keep you and the baby safe.”

He then took out a beautiful pendant, wrapped in gold and hanging on a gold chain.

“A blessing?” Cordelia was surprised. She didn’t know much about jewels and couldn’t tell its quality, but it looked pretty. She hadn’t visited many churches before and had no idea that they offered such exquisite items.

“Yes, my mom specifically had it blessed. She’s a devout Christian. Want me to help you put it on?” Jamie asked.

Ever since Cordelia got pregnant, she had become superstitious. Any mention of keeping the baby safe intrigued her. “Sure.”

“You mustn’t take it off once you wear it. Otherwise, it loses its charm,” Jamie warned.

“What?” Cordelia was surprised, “Why didn’t you say so earlier?”

“If I had, you wouldn’t have agreed to wear it.”

Had Jamie mentioned it earlier, Cordelia would have given it a second thought. After all, she was living with Ronan now, and wearing such an ostentatious pendant would stir his curiosity.

“Oh, I came to discuss something important.” Jamie changed the subject. “The representative from PrimeBuild Contractors, Hunter, has agreed to sign a three-year contract with us. For these three years, he specifically wants you to handle their account. Cordelia, it seems your work is impressive.”

Cordelia was taken aback.

“Not interested?” Jamie asked her.
