The Contracted Ever After (Cordelia and Ronan) novel Chapter 352

"What's up?" Ronan picked up on Cordelia's worry.

Cordelia pointed towards the shop window. The name 'Petra' caught Ronan's eye.

"She's teaching at Birchwood College?" Ronan mumbled to himself, taken aback. That was his former admirer.

A surge of jealousy swept over Cordelia. She grabbed Ronan's hand. "Let's go. We're never coming back to Birchwood College."

Back at the hotel, Ronan teased Cordelia in bed, who kept a stiff expression, much to his amusement.

"Your flattery needs work, but your jealousy is top-notch." Ronan joked, making Cordelia frown.

"Exactly, I'm bad at sweet talk and good at being jealous." Cordelia retorted.

Ronan slipped his hand behind her head, pulling her up from the bed. "Show me, then!"

"Get lost!" Cordelia, a bit flustered, ran out of words before she could say what she wanted.

The following day, they checked out of the hotel at eleven. Cordelia maintained a stiff expression all the way, but it was more playful than angry. Her head slightly tilted upwards.
