The Contracted Ever After (Cordelia and Ronan) novel Chapter 321

Cordelia picked up the papers, scanning them thoroughly. After she was done, she let out a cynical laugh. It was just as Ronan had told her. The path that Ronan had laid out for Deanna was one of gaining popularity, laying low, and appealing to the public through charity.

Cordelia sat on the bed, folding the children's clothes, and not uttering a single word.

"What's wrong?" Ronan asked.

"Nothing. It's fine." Cordelia thought to herself that Ronan had connections everywhere, even in the police department. The case of her mother's death was closed fast, just like this case. No one was held accountable.

How influential he was. Cordelia was no match for him. If he wanted to support Deanna, she had no say in the matter. After all, they had known each other longer.

"I'm heavily pregnant now, and I'm finding it hard to keep up with work. From tomorrow, I probably won't be able to help with the company anymore. The accounts for PrimeBuild Contractors are done. Could you take them to the office for me?" She asked, standing up and going to the living room to fetch the accounts for Ronan.

She was clearly upset, and Ronan could tell. "I'm supporting her so that she and Samantha will destroy each other. She's just a target." Ronan tried to explain.

"I didn't ask you to avenge me, did I? I'm just frustrated. It just doesn't sit right with me," Cordelia retorted, her eyes looking fearlessly at him. "You don't need to explain anything to me."

"Cordelia!" Ronan clenched his teeth in frustration.

"Hmm? What is it?" She replied.

Ronan was left speechless, and his anger was dissipating.

During dinner, Cordelia served him food as usual, but she was unusually quiet. Ronan wanted to make out with her that night, but Cordelia was as unresponsive as a log.

"The babies are yours. If something happens, I will be the one in pain, but I don't know if you would feel any pain at all," she said indifferently.

Hearing her words, Ronan lost all desire.

Cordelia saw he had stopped trying, so she continued to sleep.

The next day, when Ronan went to work, he specifically asked Janice to keep a close eye on Cordelia.
