The Contracted Ever After novel Chapter 208

On the way home, Cordelia received a message from Shelley: "Tell Ronan not to pamper Adrian so much."

"Mum, I've already talked to him about it," Cordelia replied. She was also concerned that Ronan's pampering of Adrian might have negative effects. But Adrian was currently on cloud nine, and being a greedy guts, he wouldn't heed anyone's advice.

"That's good then," Shelley replied.

Cordelia's gut told her that Ronan's intentions towards Adrian weren't as simple as they seemed.

While Cordelia was occupied with her phone, Brenda sent her a message on Messenger: [Cordelia, fancy catching up when you're free?]

"Now?" Cordelia replied.

"I'm at Bean & Brew, going through some financial reports. You can drop by if you're up for it," Brenda replied.

Cordelia checked her phone's navigation and found that Bean & Brew was just around the corner.

"Hon, Brenda is nearby, and she wants to catch up. Is that okay?" Cordelia asked Ronan.

Ronan had an inkling about what Brenda wanted to discuss with Cordelia. "Go ahead," he answered.

"Thanks, love." Cordelia pecked Ronan on the cheek.

Once the car stopped at Bean & Brew, Cordelia hopped out.

Ronan spotted Brenda from the car window.

"What brings you here? And looking so glamorous?" Brenda asked upon seeing Cordelia.

"My brother's engagement party was today, and it was nearby." Cordelia replied.

"Your brother's engaged? Did Jamie attend?" Brenda asked while sipping her coffee.

Cordelia nodded.

"So, him and Ronan..." Brenda prodded.
