The Contracted Ever After (Cordelia and Ronan) novel Chapter 496

As he was leaving, Ronan happened to see the "Recommendation Form" on Petra's desk, with Cordelia at the very top. Her photo was stunning. Her hair was neatly arranged, her eyes sparkled, and she had a gorgeous, gentle demeanor that was different from before.

Ronan noticed Petra had given Cordelia an A+ rating. It seemed like a very high rating.

A small smile tugged at the corners of Ronan's mouth, similar to the pride a parent would feel seeing their child get a perfect score.

"I'm heading out," Ronan told Petra.

"Alright, it's late. You should get some rest. Where are you headed tonight?"

Ronan hesitated for a moment, but then said, "I'm going to my grandfather's house."

Petra didn't say anything more, but she noticed Ronan's pause. It seemed that anything related to Cordelia was of great concern to him.

Instead of going straight to his grandfather's house, Ronan went to Cordelia's, but no matter how long he knocked, there was no answer from inside Cordelia's apartment.

"Cordelia," he called out, raising his voice in case she was inside. Still, there was no response. Just as he was about to call her, a neighbor from across the hall came out.

"Oh, Mr. Ronan, are you looking for Ms. Haselwood?" the neighbor asked with sleepy eyes, probably just awoken from sleep.

"Yes."

"Ms. Haselwood left in the afternoon to deliver food and hasn't returned."

"She hasn't returned?" Ronan furrowed his brows.

"Right," the neighbor confirmed after a moment of thought. "She hasn't returned."
