The Contracted Ever After (Cordelia and Ronan) novel Chapter 369

Upon hearing this, Ronan sneered, wondering to himself, “Who did she learn that from?”

"Ronan, are you or are you not going to let the kid acknowledge me as his uncle?" Adrian was starting to throw his weight around.

"So what if he doesn't?" Ronan replied indifferently, showing that he had no interest in engaging with Adrian.

"Fine, whatever. Just wait and see." With that, Adrian turned and stomped off.

Tabitha had been trailing behind Adrian. At the doorstep, she glanced back at Ronan. Just as Ronan raised his eyebrows, he caught her gaze.

The next day, upon finishing work, Ronan ran into Tabitha again at the entrance of the office building. Ronan lightly furrowed his brows. "What is it?" He asked Tabitha.

“Oh, Mr. Evans,” Tabitha stammered upon seeing Ronan, nervously wringing her hands in front of her. “Actually, what Adrian said yesterday was a lie. I’m not his girlfriend, and I had no intention of confirming his status as your child’s uncle. I was just there to pick up my car—you know, my car broke down the other day. I saw him watching a video by the car dealership, and when I went over to take a look, he claimed that the child was his nephew. He insisted on taking me along to prove it. Mr. Evans, I’m really not his girlfriend."

"Hmm," he replied. "There's no need to explain to me." With that, he walked away.

Tabitha stood there, watching Ronan's retreating figure.

Just then, Samantha happened to pass by. She had just received a call to audition for a role in a renowned show, The Grand Hotel. Given the urgency, a car was sent to pick her up, an unprecedented privilege in her acting career. As she passed by Lumos Enterprises, she happened to witness the encounter between Ronan and Tabitha.
