The Contracted Ever After (Cordelia and Ronan) novel Chapter 94

The press conference for My Dear Dr. Rowland was held on Saturday afternoon.

After spending time with her mom, Cordelia headed over with Brooklyn and Edwin. Deanna had hooked them up with front row seats. The venue was kind of hot, so Edwin stripped down to his shirt. Brooklyn had specifically told him to wear that shirt, just to embarrass Deanna.

When Deanna spotted Cordelia and her friend Brooklyn in the front row, she recognized them from a previous encounter at the mall. But, Ronan was nowhere to be found.

Especially when Deanna saw Edwin, she couldn't take her eyes off him. She could recognize the shirt she bought.

Cordelia and Brooklyn were so happy seeing Deanna's frustration.

After the press conference, Deanna pulled Cordelia aside and asked, "Where's Ronan?"

"You're asking about my husband?" Cordelia replied, "He's not into these kind of things, so he sent me. I'm here on his behalf."

"Where's the shirt I bought for him? Why did you give it to someone else?" Deanna was fuming, her eyes practically shooting daggers at Cordelia.

"Don't blame Cordelia for this. It was Mr. Evans who gave it to me. I once failed at starting my own company and applied to be Mr. Evans' driver, but he refused. Instead, he invested in my gaming company and helped me get back on my feet. So, him giving me a shirt or two is no big deal." Edwin stepped in at the right moment.

Deanna was fuming.

Cordelia was shocked. So when she went to buy a computer, Ronan already knew Edwin? Why did he pretend not to know him? To gather more information?

What didn't Ronan know? She felt like a clown in front of Ronan; he knew everything.

Cordelia was celebrating her victory after defeating Deanna. But when she got back to Pearl Palms, she found Deanna sitting on her sofa, chatting with Ronan.

Barney was not in the living room.

Knowing Barney disliked Deanna, Cordelia figured he had retreated to his room upon seeing her. Cordelia's mood instantly dropped.

"Stop right there!" Ronan chided Cordelia in a low voice.
