The Contracted Ever After novel Chapter 378

Cordelia was astounded when she saw Jamie’s comment, thinking to herself, “Jamie’s reputation as Millstone’s top CPA is no fluke.”

She was about to reply to his comment when she saw Marian’s feedback.

Marian had specifically responded directly to Jamie with her comment, [Impressive, Mr. Colby.]

Jamie responded humbly with a “smiley” emoji.

[Since you’re so good, Mr. Colby, you must teach me,] Marian said.

[Sure,] Jamie replied.

Cordelia watched their lively chat with dwindling interest, not responding to either of them.

Although Cordelia had won the contention, the emotional damage she had suffered was significant, often leaving her drained.

She was constantly worried about Callum. Even though Callum was young and oblivious, she was still concerned that he would be affected by what had happened.

Three days after posting on Facebook, she ran into Petra while having lunch at the school cafeteria.

“Feeling better?” Petra casually brushed Cordelia’s forehead, making her feel strangely comforted.

“Much better,” Cordelia replied, sitting opposite Petra.

“Why did you suddenly get sick?” Petra asked. “You need to take care of yourself when you’re living alone.”

Petra’s words made Cordelia feel warm inside, and she simply nodded in agreement.

“Excuse me, Petra?” A foreign male student stood beside their table.

“Yes?” Petra replied, looking at him in surprise.

“Is this your purse?” He handed a wallet to Petra.

Petra saw her lost wallet returned and was overjoyed. Her face was showing layers of gratitude as she kept thanking him.
