The Contracted Ever After (Cordelia and Ronan)

Chapter 7

Ronan's Facebook name was his real name. He was the kind of guy who had status and didn’t need to

hide behind an alias. His name said it all.

Cordelia took a look at Ronan's posts, but there was next to nothing, except for some articles shared

by Lumos Enterprises PR Department.

To keep Ronan from sticking out like a sore thumb in her phone, Cordelia renamed him as John Doe in

her messenger. After she added him, John Doe sent a message. [Sign the contract tomorrow. Pick up Upstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g

the marriage license.] True to his word, Ronan was all business.

Cordelia replied with a simple, [Okay.]

After work, Cordelia swung by Lumos Plaza to grab a new shirt for their registration. Lumos Plaza was

also one of Ronan's many properties.

The next morning, Cordelia put on some extra makeup. Her skin was naturally flawless, and with the

added makeup, her features were even more striking. She put on her new shirt. She looked stunning in

the mirror, but she didn't feel anything. After all, she had to look decent for the registration.

The morning bus was a bit crowded. Just before her stop, a message from Ronan popped up in her

messenger. [Come to my office.]

Cordelia replied. [10 minutes.]

When she arrived at Ronan's office, her outfit turned his head, especially the curve of her chest, which

reminded him of that night. His thoughts wandered for a moment, but he didn't say anything. He was

Cordelia's sugar daddy.

There was another person in the office, Ronan's legal advisor, who had Cordelia sign a few

agreements. The gist of it was that Ronan's wealth was none of her business, the marriage was to be

kept under wraps, but Cordelia would receive a million-dollar payout at the end of the contract. There

were also bonuses during the contract period. The bonus details were as follows.

First, make Grandpa laugh once, ten grand.

Second, cook a tasty meal for Grandpa, twenty grand.

Third, accompany Grandpa to the hospital once, a hundred grand.

Fourth, attend to Grandpa’s funeral after his death, a cool million.

Finally, Cordelia saw the most important clause. From the day the agreement was signed, Ronan

would give Cordelia a down payment of two hundred grand.

Note clause. For any matters not covered in the contract, Ronan had the final say.

These bonuses took Cordelia by surprise. All she could think was that Ronan was loaded. And all the

bonuses were about his "Grandpa." The money for one hospital visit alone could pay for a nurse for her

mother for ten months.

Cordelia found herself hoping that Grandpa would live a long life. That way, she'd have a steady stream

of income and no more worries about her mother's illness.

Ronan's pay system was similar to that of Lumos Enterprises. The base salary wasn't high, but if you

did a good job, you could rake in a hefty sum at the end of the month. This motivated people to work

hard.

Cordelia thought to herself, “I must do well, and earn more money.” She signed her name without

hesitation.

"Have all the documents been prepared?" Ronan asked Cordelia in a cold tone.

"Yeah, they're all ready." After saying this, Cordelia took out the documents from her bag and placed

them on Ronan's desk.

Ronan gave it a glance, then said, "Let's go."

Getting the marriage license took only ten minutes. Although everything felt surreal to Cordelia, she

was technically a married woman now. When she got back to the office in the afternoon, she went

about her work as if nothing had happened. But one thing was bothering her, why hadn't the two

hundred grand arrived in her account yet?

That two hundred grand was the emergency relief fund that could solve her pressing issues.
