The Contracted Ever After (Cordelia and Ronan) novel Chapter 421

In the afternoon, Cordelia made a trip to the library, and for once, she didn't cross paths with Harold, which was a pleasant change.

After coming back from the library, she took a nap at home, worked on her dissertation for a bit, and then headed to the dining hall for dinner.

As she was enjoying her burger, she couldn't help but wonder, should she call Callum back and tell him she couldn't make it tonight? But Callum was using Ronan's mobile, so it would inevitably be Ronan answering the call. At the thought of this, Cordelia hesitated.

After returning home from the dining hall, she continued working on her dissertation, and before she knew it, it was already past seven.

As she was fiddling with her phone, considering whether she should call Callum back, she suddenly heard a male voice calling "Cordelia" from the ground floor.

Living on the third floor, Cordelia could hear the voice clearly.

When she looked down from her window, the first thing she saw was a heart-shaped arrangement of red candles, all lit up, with Harold standing in the middle, yelling at her.

Cordelia frowned, she was new to the school and did not want to stir up any kind of scandal. Moreover, she believed that the more ostentatious the method of courtship was, the more it was for show. The more romantic it seemed, the emptier it really was, and she despised such behavior.

The crowd below kept growing, and she worried about becoming the talk of the school's online forums tomorrow. She hurried downstairs and confronted Harold, whispering, "What is this? Are you hoping to embarrass me?"

"Nothing like that," Harold stared at her with his charming eyes. "I was just worried about you living alone, but since you seem to be doing fine, I'll stop making a scene." With that, he took the basketball in his hands and made a stylish move, extinguishing all the candles.

Feeling relieved, Cordelia turned to go back to her apartment, but she was abruptly pulled back by Harold, his warm breath tickling her ear and his lips almost touching her cheek, making her blush.

He said, "Date me."

"Get lost!"

Cordelia hadn't been close to a man in years, let alone someone with strong masculine charm like Ronan. Perhaps due to a natural female reaction, her sudden physical contact with Harold made her tremble.

"I'm your teacher!" Cordelia warned.
