The Contracted Ever After (Cordelia and Ronan)

Chapter 44

Just as Cordelia was taking care of Barney, Deanna jumped in, "Alright, you've done enough. It's my

turn."

Without thinking twice, Cordelia got up. Just at that moment, Ronan walked in. Deanna's interruption

was perfectly timed.

Seeing Ronan, Cordelia was instantly reminded of the awkward situation when they were buying the

computers.

He glanced at Barney, adjusted the IV drip to be slower, and then said to Cordelia seriously, "Come out

with me."

Cordelia had no choice but to follow him out.

They reached a corridor a bit further from Barney's bedroom, and Ronan asked Cordelia to lean

against the wall.

"Why would you let her do such heavy work?" he asked harshly.

Cordelia thought resentfully, why can't she do this work?

"When do you plan to divorce?" Due to her bad mood and the computer purchase matter, Cordelia's

tone was also a bit unpleasant.

Obviously, her question caught Ronan off guard. "Are you looking forward to the divorce?" He frowned

at her.

"Deanna's back, and I've moved out. I think a divorce is just a matter of time. I just want to know when,

or else I'll feel uneasy." Cordelia looked up, but not at Ronan.

"Well, really? Do you not understand why I asked you to move out? Or do you want to come back to

make money?" His mockery was heavy, "Right, you've bought your computer, so you're not short on

cash now."

"Do you really have to do this for Logan? He's not even alive anymore, so what are you still holding

onto? What about you snooping on my diary? That's private. I could sue you." Cordelia stared into his

eyes.

"Then go ahead."

Cordelia knew her threats wouldn't scare Ronan; he might even find it amusing. She huffed and turned

her head away.

"You stand here." NôvelDrama.Org holds text © rights.

"When are we getting a divorce?" She asked again.

"Just be Mrs. Evans for now." After saying this, Ronan went into Barney's room.

It seemed Cordelia still had to play the role of Mrs. Evans for a while. Probably until Barney passed

away, then he would break off the fake engagement and marry Deanna.

"Cheapskate." After Ronan left, Cordelia muttered under her breath.

Unexpectedly, his footsteps suddenly stopped, then he came back. "What did you say?" He asked with

a frown.

Cordelia lowered her head, "Nothing. You're really handsome."

He knew that wasn't what she said, but he didn't want to argue, so he walked away.

When he entered the room, Barney was awake, and he asked Ronan, "Where's Della? Is she back?"

"She's back. She's outside."

"Hurry, let her in." Barney waved his hand eagerly.

"Barney, I'll go get her." Deanna then left the room.

Seeing Cordelia standing against the wall, a strange smile appeared on Deanna's lips, "He really treats

you like a nurse, huh? Go on, Barney's calling for you."

Upon hearing those words, Cordelia felt wronged and excluded.

Seeing Cordelia, Barney immediately smiled, "Della, are you back from your business trip? Are you

planning to stay?"

Cordelia didn't dare answer casually, she snuck a glance at Ronan.

"Yes, she's staying at home now."

"Well, are you two having a fight? You've just got married, haven't you? Ronan, that's not right."

Deanna patted Ronan's shoulder, pretending to be concerned. As if she had a say in their relationship.

"I have work this afternoon, I have to go." Deanna stood there gracefully, "I didn't drive today. Ronan,

could you give me a lift?"

She completely ignored Cordelia's presence.

Out of chivalry, and given the villa's remote location which made hailing a cab inconvenient, Ronan

decided to drive Deanna away.
