The Contracted Ever After (Cordelia and Ronan) novel Chapter 460

"Why haven't you accepted my friend request on Facebook?" Cordelia asked, her voice shaky.

"Why would you want to add me on Facebook if you hate me so much?"

"I..." Cordelia stuttered. Ronan's directness left her speechless.

"Are you trying to see Callum?" Ronan guessed, recalling Cordelia’s recent visit to Millstone, where she met Brooklyn, who might have mentioned Facebook and prompted Cordelia to add him.

Finally, he was getting under her skin!

"Will you accept my request or not?" Cordelia asked again, trying to keep her voice steady.

Ronan released Cordelia, his tone lightening. "Give it up. I won't."

Cordelia was so frustrated. As she was about to leave, he called out to her, "Wait!"

"What?"

"Heard you've become Andi's godmother? Do you know who the godfather is?" Ronan asked, his gaze fixed on her.

"I didn't ask. Probably you," she replied, avoiding his gaze.

"Knowing it's me, you still insist on being the child's godmother. What's your intention?" Ronan's eyes bore into Cordelia.

"I..." Again, Cordelia found herself at a loss for words.

She wanted to say she wasn't overstepping her boundaries, but she couldn't say a word. Anyone would overthink this situation and wonder if Cordelia had returned from England just to get back into Ronan’s arms.

"I'm leaving," she mumbled, her voice barely audible.

Ronan didn't stop her; he had other things to deal with.

After Cordelia left, Ronan picked up his phone. His assistant had messaged him. [Mr. Evans, Deanna said she needed to pick up something. What could it be?]

[Find out if Tabitha has a child. Buy some clothes and formula for the baby. Make sure they're all top quality and plenty.]

[Okay,] the assistant replied.

Ronan fiddled with his phone, sitting on the couch.

Callum emerged from his bedroom.

"Why aren't you asleep?" Ronan asked.
