The Contracted Ever After (Cordelia and Ronan)

Chapter 273

"What's going on?" Ronan asked as he walked in.

"I've got a charley horse in my calf." Cordelia grimaced, the pain nearly bringing tears to her eyes.

Ronan sat next to her and gently lifted her legs onto his lap. But now, the cramp had subsided. Cordelia

started to question if it was all in her head. "It doesn't hurt anymore." She quickly removed her legs

from his lap.

"Have you been taking your prenatal vitamins on time?" He asked Cordelia.

"Uh-huh. I always take them on time." She assured him.

"You're lucky you haven't been dealing with morning sickness." Ronan suddenly commented.

Cordelia didn't think much of it at first, but then she remembered that Ronan first suspected her

pregnancy when she started vomiting.

"Did I ever mention that?" Cordelia asked.

"Don't you remember?" Ronan questioned.

"I did vomit a few times in the early stages of my pregnancy, but then it stopped." Cordelia explained.

"Really?" After that, Ronan climbed into bed and started reading a book.

"Are you sleeping here tonight?" Cordelia glanced at him.

"Where else?" Ronan asked. Property © NôvelDrama.Org.

"Could you please listen to what Victoria said?" Cordelia asked.

"What do you take me for?" Ronan retorted.

Cordelia didn't respond, but she thought to herself, of course, he’s like a pervert to her.

The room was quiet that night so Cordelia quickly drifted into sleep. Around eleven, Ronan turned off

the lights to sleep. According to his usual temper, Cordelia should have been dead thousand times over

today because of what he learned. She had a childhood sweetheart about to get married. She had

another admirer, Edwin. She was secretly planning to study abroad; even though he deleted her

emails, it did nothing to change her determination.

Edwin had a crush on Cordelia, and Ronan knew it. He remembered Edwin pleading for her when he

donated to Evergreen Elementary School.

As for the study abroad plans, Ronan had already made arrangements with the HR Department to

have Cordelia transferred to Lumos Enterprises.

The reason why he didn't lose his temper today was not only because he was afraid she would have a

miscarriage, but also because he learned two things.

He asked his assistant to check the CCTV footage of the Lakeside Hotel and Luxe Cuisine. He found

that Cordelia had taken a pregnancy test from a janitor's trash can and that she had a dish at Luxe

Cuisine. The dish contained deep-fried egg yolks, which Cordelia ate and then vomited. The egg yolks

were deep-fried, making it difficult to recognize.

He suspected that Grant saw Cordelia vomiting and she was afraid he would tell Ronan about her

return, so she decided to leave the Lakeside Hotel overnight. But then she thought she could only run

for a while, not forever. In order to completely cut ties with Ronan, she deliberately found a pregnancy

test.

This could prove that Cordelia wasn’t pregnant that night. If she was pregnant, she could buy a

pregnancy test herself, instead of picking up someone else's. Therefore, she got pregnant after that

night. Of course, it was not ruled out that she slept with Jamie afterwards and got pregnant.

Thinking of this, Ronan felt a twinge of jealousy.

But now, Ronan was 55% sure that the twins were his, unlike before when he was 100% sure that the

twins were Jamie's.

Why did Cordelia lie that she was pregnant with Jamie's child that day? And she wasn't pregnant at the

time. He also remembered that night, she struggled so hard that the condom slipped off. So, Ronan

was not angry today.

When would he find out that the twins were his? That depended on when she told him. He was giving

her a chance.
