The Contracted Ever After (Cordelia and Ronan) novel Chapter 34

The test took place on Saturday from 5:30 to 7:30 PM.

Cordelia, upon arriving at the exam venue, realized that she had forgotten her Driver's License at home. She didn't have a clue where she left it. She didn't want to disturb Ronan, but without his help, she couldn't take the exam. So, she called him.

"Hey babe, can you do me a favor and find my Driver's License? I completely forgot to bring it with me." She tried to keep her cool even though she was in a hurry.

"Are you sure your brain's up to an exam?" Ronan's voice was flat.

"I'm dead serious, I left my Driver's License at home. It's urgent. I'm begging you. Please." Cordelia pleaded.

"Hold on." With that, Ronan hung up.

He told Deanna, who was lounging on the sofa, "Wait for me downstairs."

"What's up?" Deanna asked, feigning concern.

"Cordelia's gone for an exam and she's left her Driver's License behind." Ronan headed upstairs after saying this.

"Really? Well, you better go find it then." Deanna pretended to smile sweetly.

Deanna had come to Evans' residence under the pretext of visiting Barney, who happened to be taking a nap. She had come to talk with Ronan, and with Barney out of the picture, it was the perfect opportunity.

However, seeing Ronan being bossed around by Cordelia and even going upstairs to find her stuff, Deanna may not show it but she was seething inside.

Ronan didn’t find anything so he got Janice to help out. After all, women had a knack for knowing where other women stashed their stuff.

Ronan found Cordelia's suitcase on the balcony, and cracking the lock was child's play to him. He didn't find her Driver's License in there, just a notebook with a worn cover.

Something felt off to Ronan. Why would Cordelia hide this notebook in such a secret spot? He picked it up and flipped it open. A photo fell out. It was of a handsome man with a bunch of kids; the guy was really good-looking.

"Sir! I found Mrs. Evans' Driver's License. It was in her old canvas bag's pocket, the one she washed and left in the bathroom." Janice's excited voice echoed behind Ronan.

Ronan's thoughts were interrupted.

"Take a cab and give it to her. I'll text you the address." Ronan said.
