The Contracted Ever After (Cordelia and Ronan) novel Chapter 367

The christening of the only son of the famous Evans family in Millstone had not only gone viral on Facebook but had also made it to the entertainment news.

Samantha sent a video of the christening to Cordelia with a message. [Cordelia, your son's christening, and you're not here?]

At first, Cordelia thought, “Why would Samantha be so kind as to send me a video?” She had seen most of the videos on Facebook, and they were all similar in content. She initially thought this video would be no different, but upon opening it, Cordelia was hit hard.

"We're divorced and leading separate lives. I can't think of any reason for her to be here."

Ronan's words kept echoing in Cordelia's ears. She knew then that Samantha wasn't being kind and was just trying to hurt her and enjoy the drama.

Cordelia was devastated. Everyone on Facebook tactfully hid this, but Samantha had sent it directly to Cordelia. It appeared Ronan despised her. She wasn't supposed to be at the christening, nor was she needed in his future life.

Cordelia was about to email Ronan but ultimately closed her email tab.

The sound of Cordelia smashing her mouse made Taylor burst into her room. "What's up, Cordelia?" Taylor asked, putting a hand on Cordelia's shoulder.

"Don't even ask," Cordelia replied.

Taylor picked up Cordelia's phone and glanced at it.

"Is this your ex? Men are all the same, afraid of women outshining them. If you do, they can't show off in front of you. Isn't your ex's behavior all the more reason for you to excel?" Taylor consoled Cordelia.

"I want to do well. But…" Cordelia wanted to say that it wasn't Ronan's fault, that she had reasons for going abroad.

Cordelia wanted to tell Taylor about the man in black suit and the ring, but she was afraid that eavesdroppers would put Taylor in danger, so she remained silent.

"You're still defending him at a time like this!" Taylor said with frustration. "If you don't study hard, Cordelia, you'll be the first one I'll look down on."

Cordelia agreed. "Yes, I want to finish my postgraduate studies as soon as possible and have my spring admission changed to this fall. Do you think it's possible?"
