The Contracted Ever After (Cordelia and Ronan)

Chapter 231

Lumos Enterprises.

After Barney’s funeral, it took Ronan a while to regain his composure. But he thought to himself, he had ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .

been good to Barney, never letting him suffer in the slightest. Although in Barney's lifetime, he had

once knelt down for the sake of Olen, but that was all in the past.

The assistant entered Ronan's office. "Mr. Evans, Jamie is back from the States, with a massive

suitcase in tow. It looks like he's not planning on going back to America. It's just..." the assistant

hesitated.

"Just what?"

"Just that... Your ex-wife came back with him. Seems like they visited the gynecologist today, probably

for a prenatal check-up," the assistant added.

Ronan smirked coldly. So, they came back together? Just like a perfect couple, they were clearly trying

to rub their happiness in his face.

Originally, he didn’t want to interfere too much with Cordelia's life. He knew she was upset, so he

intentionally let her go to America to ease her mood. He didn't mind when she didn’t attend the school

he had arranged for her. He also didn't contact her, fearing it would make her change schools again.

After all, her beloved mother ended up in a tragic death, and he tolerated her because of that. But he

didn't expect Jamie to also go to California. He assumed America was so big, that they wouldn't run

into each other. Yet, they even managed to have a baby!

He was being cuckolded!

For the first time in his life, Ronan was furious. He wished he could tear Cordelia to pieces. He had

planned to bring Jamie back from America and leave Cordelia alone there, but to his surprise, she had

returned as well.

"Should we continue to keep tabs on them?" the assistant asked Ronan.

"No need," Ronan said, tossing his lighter onto the table.

Once Shelley died, Cordelia was no longer under his control. She could sleep with whoever she

wanted, and have a child with whoever she wanted.

...

The moment Jamie returned, he immediately started arranging the new firm. He often consulted with

Cordelia.

Cordelia rented a one-bedroom apartment, which was inevitably lonely. Moreover, being pregnant, she

needed someone to take care of her. Jamie was worried about Cordelia's situation. She was partnering

with Jamie to open a firm, and she didn't look for another job. Moreover, most employers were reluctant

to hire pregnant women.

"How did it go? Have you had the surgery?" One time, Jamie visited Cordelia's place and asked her

anxiously.

"Don’t even mention it, twins." Cordelia always felt regretful about being pregnant with these two

babies.

"Twins?" Jamie was also surprised. "Cordelia, have you ever thought of finding a father for these

children?" His stared at Cordelia earnestly.

This was something Cordelia had never considered. The pregnancy was completely accidental. "I..."

Cordelia hesitated. She hadn’t liked anyone else other than Ronan, so when Jamie suddenly brought

up this topic, she found it quite abrupt.

"Since you're still undecided, let's talk about something else. We're opening the firm soon, right? I've

already chosen a location, and it's right above PrimeNumbers Accounting. The entire floor is ours. I've

already sent someone to handle the paperwork, and we already have the connections. If we merge

with PrimeNumbers Accounting in the future, we'll have even more clients. You can come up with a

name for the firm." Jamie suggested to Cordelia.

Cordelia thought for a long time but couldn't come up with a name.

"Did you see the one I sent you last time?" Jamie asked again.

"Last time?" Cordelia was puzzled. Which last time? The last time Jamie talked to her, she went to

sleep without seeing it. Then Barney's incident happened. Cordelia was very busy during those days

and always felt tired, so she didn't pay attention to this matter.

"Never mind, I'll name it," Jamie said.

"Okay." Lately, Cordelia always felt tired. In the past, she could stay up all night without feeling

anything. She was going to sleep, so Jamie left first.

In the end, Jamie named his firm First Enterprises.

...

Thomas went to report to Ronan that Jamie was back in the country. He didn't know that Cordelia was

also back. "Mr. Evans, my son is back in the country. He has opened his own firm now. I heard he's

partnering with someone. I'm getting old, and I don’t have many years left. I plan to let him take over

the Colby family's assets in the future," Thomas said.

On the matter of Jamie, Thomas was manipulated by Ronan like a puppet, and was caught between a

rock and a hard place.

"Really? What's the name? Who is he partnering with?" Ronan asked.

"The name is First Enterprises. As for his partner, I'm not quite sure, probably just one of his

classmates or something," Thomas replied.

Ha, First Enterprises! What a name!
