Ronan didn't head home, instead, he leisurely strolled with Callum around the campus of Birchwood College.
He sent a text via WhatsApp.
"Dad, where are we going?" Callum seemed rather displeased and asked Ronan.
"We're going to visit Dr. Dustin."
"Is he a friend of Granddad?"
"He was a student of your granddad."
"My granddad had students? Looks like Granddad and nice lady are both rich," Callum admired earnestly.
"Nice lady?" Ronan raised an eyebrow.
He didn’t know how Cordelia did academically, but she sure knew how to reel in the younger men. So far, the only acknowledged romance in Cordelia’s life was the one with Logan.
As for Ronan? Did Cordelia sell herself to him to save her mother? Or did she submit to Ronan’s authority?
All their relationship left them with was a son, and a lost daughter.
Ronan didn't have Dustin's WhatsApp; he had heard about him from other people. He told Dustin he'd drop by his house that evening.
Dustin was nervous. Ronan was not only the grandson of his respected teacher but also a notorious entrepreneur in Millstone. Over the years, Dustin and Ronan had heard of each other but never connected.
Dustin lived in a small house in the suburbs. He hastily had his wife tidy up, put on a pot of coffee, and take a walk to give them some privacy.
"Dr. Dustin, long time no see." Ronan arrived, taking in the surroundings. "So this is what a Birchwood College staff housing looks like."
