The Contracted Ever After (Cordelia and Ronan) novel Chapter 32

On a Sunday noon, Cordelia told Ronan that she had a class to attend in the afternoon.

Ronan, sipping his coffee leisurely, said, "Have Janice accompany you."

"You're so considerate." Cordelia was thrilled.

"Don't flatter me. If there's any more trouble, forget about attending." Ronan picked up a napkin to wipe his hands.

Cordelia stuck out her tongue, thinking, “Nothing ever seems to get past Ronan.”

At the class, Cordelia ran into Manda.

However, Manda was vague and even trembling, seemingly scared. "Cordelia, I'm sorry about last time." Manda spoke, "My brother was in the wrong."

"It's fine, after all, you can't control your brother's actions." Perhaps because Cordelia had an irresponsible brother, she understood Manda's situation.

This time in class, Manda deliberately sat far away from Cordelia.

Cordelia was somewhat puzzled.

When Jamie arrived for class, his gaze naturally fell on Cordelia. Despite Manda's hatred for Cordelia, she could only hang her head and say nothing.

Ronan had broken Lionel's leg and even sent someone to his house to check on him, putting on a show, and warning Manda and her brother not to be ungrateful. Having witnessed Ronan's fury for the first time, Manda was naturally scared.

To avoid offending Ronan, Cordelia deliberately avoided Jamie's gaze and left the classroom as soon as class ended.

Upon seeing Cordelia, Janice greeted her with a beaming smile, "Are you tired, ma'am?"

"I'm not tired, I just had one class." Cordelia left with Janice.

Jamie, trailing behind, frowned. He remembered Cordelia mentioning that Ronan was her husband. But Adrian denied it when he asked. Now, the Evans family's maid came to pick Cordelia up personally. What was going on?

Jamie decided to investigate the matter himself. Two days later, Jamie showed Adrian a photocopy of Cordelia and Ronan's marriage license.

"See for yourself!" Jamie was clearly angry, especially since Adrian had previously attempted to introduce his sister to him.

"What's this about?" Adrian picked it up, disbelief written all over his face.

"Who should I ask if not you? You better not pull stunts like this again!" Jamie said.

"Could this be fake?" Adrian asked hesitantly.

Jamie gave a bitter smile, "I have a friend who got some connection. It’s real."
