The Contracted Ever After (Cordelia and Ronan) novel Chapter 370

In the evening, in Ronan's bedroom.

"Did you tell Cordelia about Tabitha coming home?" Ronan lounged on the sofa, one leg draped over the other, addressing Janice.

"Tabitha?" Janice frowned, looking puzzled. "Who's Tabitha?"

"You didn't tell her?" Ronan asked again.

"Her? Who's her?" Janice was even more confused. "Mr. Evans, could you please give me some context? You're leaving me in the dark here."

Ronan stared at Janice for a moment, making sure she was clueless before he told her to leave. As Janice made for the bedroom door, Ronan suddenly asked, "By the way, how did your son do in his exams?"

"Oh." Janice's face lit up. "He got accepted into Birchwood College's finance department. He's still working at the oil field now."

Seeing Janice's sudden change in expression, Ronan knew that her previous confusion wasn't an act.

"Off you go."

...

Meanwhile, far away in the U.S., Cordelia received her acceptance letter for the fall semester. This meant that Cordelia would be starting school in a few days. She threw herself into preparing for the new semester and cramming finance terms, temporarily forgetting about Ronan.
