The Contracted Ever After (Cordelia and Ronan) novel Chapter 406

England, University of Edinburgh.

Three years had passed.

Cordelia had become one of the most dedicated students in the finance department, yet she managed to remain under the radar.

She was the first one to arrive for classes and the last one to leave. After class, she would grab a quick bite to eat, usually a sandwich or a pasty, before heading to the library.

Cordelia was all about books and studies, believing that the effort you put into studying would directly reflect on your results. Her grades were, unsurprisingly, the best in the class.

There were many pictures of Callum on her phone, all taken when he was still a baby, including the two that Ronan had sent her, and some she had taken at home. Ever since then, she hadn't seen her child again.

Of course, when she was busy, she wouldn't think about anything else.

Studying was tough, but time flew, and there was a sense of accomplishment that came with it.

This sense of achievement added a touch of color to Cordelia's monastic lifestyle.

As the days went on, Cordelia's hair grew longer, and her glasses prescription increased to -2.50.

Her face became increasingly delicate, and she would usually wear glasses, presenting the image of a strong, intellectual woman, filled with pride and a sense of nobility derived from her extensive knowledge.

Over these three years, Cordelia had cut off contact with everyone from her past, changed her phone, and switched to a new Facebook account.

Of course, she missed Callum. But she was let down by Ronan, and in order not to have Alana take revenge on him, Cordelia had to endure the pain of not seeing him.

However, she didn't delete one person from her Facebook – Petra. And over the past three years, she often communicated with Petra, sharing her struggles in life and studies. After all, they were both intellectuals and had a lot in common.
