The Contracted Ever After (Cordelia and Ronan) novel Chapter 91

Jamie showed up at Adrian's place.

"What brings you here?" Adrian asked Jamie in surprise. "Did you bump into my sis and Ronan?"

"Yep." Jamie answered, looking pale.

It seemed they were getting along pretty well; it didn’t look like they were faking it. Even though Cordelia looked a bit resistant when Ronan kissed her, it didn't prove anything.

"I think Cordelia and Ronan are deeply into each other. You guys won't be able to break them up, so you might as well drop that idea." Kendra spoke with a sharp tone.

She intentionally lured Ronan over just now. Of course, she knew Jamie would come because it was she who texted him.

Jamie might have already seen Cordelia and Ronan together.

Kendra just wanted Jamie to know that his feelings for Cordelia were pointless.

"Jamie, don't get it twisted. Ronan went upstairs because he disdained Cordelia for cleaning up her clothes, thinking it damaged his image. He scolded Cordelia loudly. When she didn't listen, he picked her up and left, saying that he was going to teach her a lesson at home. You should go check on her." Adrian said hastily.

Jamie's eyes filled with anger immediately. "What did you say?"

Then he turned around and left.

"Jamie! Jamie…" Kendra called out from behind, but Jamie was walking too fast. Kendra was only in a towel, so she couldn’t go out and could only call his name anxiously.

"This is all your doing!" Kendra said to Adrian.

"How dare you accuse me? You think I don't know what you're up to? Okay, let's say we both have a part in this! I want Jamie to chase after my sister! He saw you in my bed, but did he react? No. He only has my sis in his heart, so you better give up." Adrian said sarcastically.

Kendra felt very angry. She liked Jamie, but he told her that he had someone else in his heart, asking her not to like him anymore.

Kendra wasn't willing to accept that. She told Jamie that if he didn't agree to be with her, she would do something extreme. She would sleep with Adrian.

She purposely texted Jamie to come over today, wanting him to see it. She didn't expect Cordelia to come back too. So Kendra lured Ronan over again.

...

Ronan and Cordelia were back home.

Ronan carried Cordelia directly to the upstairs bathroom. When he went upstairs, he asked Janice at home to bring up the medicine for treating sprains.

He turned on the hot water, prepared a stool for Cordelia, then rolled up his sleeves, squatted down, and started washing Cordelia's feet with hot water.

Cordelia's foot instinctively pulled back a bit. She felt a bit uncomfortable with Ronan washing her feet.

"Stay still." Ronan held her foot.

Cordelia's hands and feet were always cold in winter. Now that they were held in his hands and washed with hot water, the warmth spread throughout her body.

Cordelia felt very comfortable, as if she had returned to her childhood. She hadn't experienced this kind of intimacy in a long time.

He deliberately pressed lightly on the swollen part of Cordelia's foot.
