The Contracted Ever After (Cordelia and Ronan) novel Chapter 490

"Mmm. I don't want to buy the college's one. This apartment is enough for me. It's more convenient to live on campus," Cordelia lowered her head, not mentioning her plans to buy a house in Edith Hills. She still had her daughter in her heart, which meant she was still thinking about her past relationship with Ronan.

"Are you sure you're not buying?"

"I'm sure."

"Then where will I stay when I visit?"

Cordelia turned her head, looking at him. "You're overthinking." She never intended to let him stay.

"Also, did you check what I asked you to?" Cordelia asked him. She guessed that even if Ronan was very resourceful, he couldn't have found out so quickly. She asked purposely to prevent Ronan from bringing up the subject of living or sleeping together.

"How could it be so quick?" Ronan countered.

The reason he didn't check was not that he couldn't, but he didn't want to. He didn't want to know about her social connections. He had lost interest when he found out that her dad had given him his cornea and that she wasn't his biological daughter. Actually, he didn't need to know who she was. It was enough that she was herself.

"You have to keep your word," Cordelia said.

Ronan chuckled lightly, insincerely saying, "I will."

"Where are you staying tonight?" Cordelia asked again, a bit worried.

"I'll go back to my grandpa's."

Only then Cordelia sighed in relief. His wolf-like nature, especially in bed, was quite intimidating. She was somewhat afraid of him.

Ronan had almost finished tidying up the room. He clapped his hands and went to the bathroom to wash them when his phone rang.

It was Petra.

He slightly furrowed his brows. "Hello," he said.

"Jayson is sick. He has a fever of over 102 degrees. I just adopted him and don't know what to do. What should I do?" Petra sounded helpless and frantic, showing signs of desperation.
