The Contracted Ever After (Cordelia and Ronan) novel Chapter 39

Today, Ronan attended a meeting and passed by Dennis Street in the afternoon. He clearly remembered that Logan's house was on Dennis Street. He thought to himself, "This man named Logan was just Cordelia's first love, and he had no connection to me. I had no reason to go to his place."

But his curiosity got the better of him, he had the driver pull over the car and he went to Logan's house alone.

Logan's address was written on the title page of his diary. Ronan didn't know if he was just too focused on this or his memory was just that good, but he remembered Logan's address crystal clear.

A middle-aged woman answered the door.

"Is this Logan's house?" Ronan asked.

"Yes, you are?"

"I was Logan's partner when he was teaching in remote areas. Just call me Mr. Evens. I originally planned to donate computers to their school, but it's a pity what happened to Logan." Ronan said.

"Well, alright, Mr. Evens. Please come in." Said Logan's mom, a woman named Whitney, who warmly pulled Ronan into the house. Ever since Logan's death, she treated all of Logan's friends with such warmth, as if she could see her son in them.

Logan's dad, Lawsen, was cooking in the kitchen. Whitney introduced him, "This is Mr. Evens, a friend from when Logan was a teacher."

"Mr. Evens, hello." Lawsen greeted him warmly too, but he was too busy cooking to shake hands. "Mr. Evens, why don't you join us for dinner tonight?"

Logan's parents were both honest and down-to-earth people.

"We'll see." Ronan replied, but he remained mostly silent.

He noticed a picture hanging in the living room. It was Logan, who was indeed handsome. Sacrificing himself to save others, not many people in the world could match that.

"Logan…" Whitney couldn't even finish her sentence before tears started to fall. "Logan went to remote areas to teach children. We fully supported his decision, but we didn't expect this to happen."

"This is just a small token." Ronan said, pulling out a wad of cash and handing it to Whitney.

"No, we can't take this money. Please take it back, Mr. Evens. If you try to give us money again, I'm afraid I have to ask you to leave."

Ronan had no choice but to take the money back. "I'll leave you my number. If you need anything, feel free to call me." Ronan said.

He gave them his assistant's private number, which was unknown to anyone at the company. He was curious to see whether Cordelia would try to contact this number, given that "Mr. Evens" was a friend of Logan and worked in the computer industry.
