The Contracted Ever After (Cordelia and Ronan)

Chapter 96

After work, Ronan got home and was having dinner with his family when he received a message from

his assistant: [Mr. Evans, your wife had no particular incidents during her school days. She had a well-

known relationship with Logan. They were once voted as the number one 'Top 10 Couples' on the Material © NôvelDrama.Org.

campus forum. If Logan were still alive, they would probably be married by now. Also, Cordelia only

sent her resume to Lumos Enterprises after graduating, which might be related to Logan.]

After reading the message, Ronan quietly put down his phone, not uttering a word throughout. Their

first sex also had something to do with Logan.

Cordelia was chatting with Barney about an animal rescue station, a topic Ronan wasn't interested in.

After taking a shower, Cordelia stood in the bedroom, wiping her hair and reading a book at the same

time. Ronan watched her coldly, thinking she had the composure and elegance of a well-educateds

woman. The sexiness she exuded when reading had nothing to do with her body, but it moved him.

By the time Cordelia's hair was dry, she had also finished a chapter of her book.

"It's so cold." Cordelia crawled into the warm quilt and sighed.

"Did you feel this cold in school?" Ronan, who was reading a book next to her, asked calmly.

"Hmm." Cordelia lay in bed, looking at the ceiling, "How come I never felt cold in school?" Back then,

she was always looking forward to her date with Logan the next day, then she would fall asleep

sweetly.

"What made you not feel cold?" Ronan asked again.

Cordelia thought for a while, but didn't tell him the truth. She simply answered, "Maybe because the

dormitory was small and there were many people. With everyone chatting at night, you wouldn't feel

cold."

"What did you do during the day?" Ronan suddenly became interested in Cordelia's school life.

" I went to class during the day. Life was monotonous, you probably wouldn't be interested." Cordelia

never mentioned Logan. Perhaps it was a hurdle she couldn't get over, so she always avoided the

topic.

"What did you do when you were with Logan?" Ronan suddenly asked. His tone was calm, as if he had

casually brought it up.

Although it had been a while since Logan's incident, Ronan didn't want to mention it. But he did

anyway.

Cordelia was at a loss for words. She didn't understand why he brought up Logan out of the blue. The

name pained her. She remained silent.

Ronan glanced at her, only to see her staring at the ceiling, lost in thought.

"Have you guys ever done this?" Ronan set down his book, turned to her, and passionately kissed

Cordelia. His hands were busy undoing her nightgown.

Cordelia was momentarily confused. She couldn't tell whether the man in front of her was Logan or

Ronan. She wrapped her arms around Ronan's neck, looking incredibly tender.

Kissing him was usually a joyful affair for her. Even though she was the one initiating, she was never

this soft and tender.

Until Ronan lifted his body and stared at her sternly, "I'm not him!"

Cordelia suddenly felt embarrassed and angry, and her tears started to fall onto the pillow, "Why did

you mention him? When did I ever treat you like him?"

Ronan impulsively moved closer to Cordelia, turned off the lights, and made love to her over and over

again.

Cordelia didn't understand why he suddenly became so emotional, or why he brought up Logan out of

the blue. His mentioning of Logan soured her mood.

After their lovemaking, it was already 3am. Cordelia was so tired she could barely keep her eyes open.

She fell asleep. But Ronan couldn't sleep. He lit a cigarette and leaned against the headboard reading

a book.

Cordelia's side of the bed must've been really cold. She was asleep, but instinctively moved towards

Ronan's side.

Ronan's body was warm, Cordelia wrapped her arms around him, sleeping soundly.

Ronan's gaze was no longer on the book, but on Cordelia beside him. Maybe because of the warmth,

her complexion was a bit flushed. Her mouth seemed to be murmuring something, but he couldn't hear

it clearly.

"What did you say?" He leaned in closer to her and asked.

"Daddy." Cordelia mumbled.

At least she wasn't calling out Logan's name!

Ronan stroked Cordelia's hair, and Cordelia continued to sleep peacefully.

The next morning, the weather was gloomy. It was dark, looked like it was going to rain. The winter was

close.

After getting up, Cordelia made the bed while shooting Ronan a few glances. He was putting on a suit,

looking quite dapper.

Cordelia murmured under her breath, "You're such a jerk! I wasn't thinking about Logan!"

Ronan walked past Cordelia, gently lifted her chin, and stared into her eyes, "Then who were you

thinking about?"

Cordelia was at a loss for words, unable to express what she was feeling.

Seeing Cordelia's slightly downcast eyelids, Ronan couldn't help but joke, "Thinking about your dad?"

"How did you know?" Cordelia was taken aback, she grabbed Ronan's arm and asked in panic.

"Did you take me for your dad?" Ronan let go of Cordelia and went to put on his watch, "I don't have a

daughter as big as you."

He went downstairs. Cordelia stood upstairs for a moment, then she followed him.
