The Contracted Ever After (Cordelia and Ronan) novel Chapter 402

Time flew. Grass sprouted, and leaves fell.

Callum had slowly evolved from being a babbling baby in swaddling clothes to walking on his own. He had transformed into a charming little boy who could call "Dad."

Apart from Janice, Ronan had everyone else in the house dismissed. He found another woman to assist Janice, ensuring that nobody would mention Cordelia.

Janice was primarily responsible for Callum.

Edwin and Brooklyn got hitched in the second year after Cordelia's disappearance. Without leaving any word, Cordelia's departure had left Brooklyn disheartened and bitterly disappointed.

Sure, maybe Cordelia had her difficulties, but as friends, Brooklyn believed if she didn't confide in her, then she must not have considered her a true friend.

Brooklyn resigned from Lumos Enterprises before her wedding. She probably felt that if Cordelia, with her capabilities, still pursued higher education, she would have to do the same. However, with the arrival of a bunch of new postgrads and overseas returnees in her department and her slow promotion, Brooklyn gradually lost the desire to continue working at Lumos Enterprises.

Coincidentally, Edwin's gaming company was hiring a new media operator, which was right up Brooklyn's alley. In a small company, academic credentials didn't matter as much. Besides, she and Edwin were passionately in love. Her status in the company was guaranteed. All of Edwin's assets would likely be under her control, and she wouldn't have to tiptoe around anyone. Brooklyn jumped ship from Lumos Enterprises and joined Edwin's gaming company even before their wedding.

Ronan officiated their wedding.

Edwin was just one of the countless entrepreneurs with little fame in Millstone, but Ronan was different. Many guests attended because of Ronan, such as Will and Hunter from PrimeBuild Contractors, who had always wanted to collaborate with Lumos Enterprises but never found the chance. They took the opportunity to attend Edwin's wedding, offering hefty gifts and making their presence felt in front of Ronan.
