The Contracted Ever After (Cordelia and Ronan) novel Chapter 456

Cordelia returned to Millstone and went to Brooklyn’s home. Brooklyn had a sour expression when she went to pick up Cordelia at the station. "Never thought you'd show up again. Heartless people like you aren't common. Guess your education really is the most important to you," Brooklyn grumbled.

Cordelia knew she had let Brooklyn down over the years, but she didn't argue.

"I came to Millstone. Aren't you going to treat me to a meal?" Cordelia asked, not bothering with formalities with an old friend.

"Treat you? My housekeeper cooks delicious meals. Why waste money eating out? Let's go home," Brooklyn retorted.

Cordelia followed Brooklyn home. Edwin was still at work and hadn't returned yet.

Brooklyn glanced at her watch. "He should be home soon."

After Edwin got married, he moved out of the family home. Thanks to the money he made from his video games, he bought a duplex. Now, their family of three was incredibly happy, and Brooklyn was expecting another child.

Brooklyn instructed her son, Andi, to call Cordelia "Aunt Cordelia"

"He's grown so much?" Cordelia exclaimed, a pang of sadness hitting her as she thought of Callum, a boy she barely knew.

"Yes, Cordelia. I may not have been the best student or the best worker, but I am the happiest. Edwin gives me his paycheck every month, and I manage all our finances," Brooklyn proudly stated.

"Alright, no one can beat your happiness. Remember, I'm your child's godmother," Cordelia said with a smug smile.

In front of Brooklyn, Cordelia felt like her old self again.

"Who's going to be the godmother?" A voice came from the door.

"Cordelia?" Edwin looked surprised. "You want to be the godmother? Do you know who the godfather is?"

"Who?" Cordelia asked.

She thought, “It couldn't be him, could it?” She never thought he would have the leisure to be someone else's godfather!
