The Contracted Ever After novel Chapter 436

Everyone at Harbor High School knew Harold was courting Cordelia. His actions were as clear as day to his peers. The whole gymnasium was bubbling with excitement.

Cheers and whistles were directed at Cordelia from all corners.

Callum, puzzled, turned to his father, Ronan, and asked, “What’s going on, Dad?”

With his gaze fixed on the spectacle unfolding before him, Ronan remained silent.

Sally was exclaiming excitedly, “Cordelia, say yes!”

“Say yes to what?” Cordelia was a beat behind, her mind preoccupied with thoughts of Samantha.

“Say yes to dating him!” Sally was on the edge of her seat, her eyes welling up with tears of excitement.

Even if no one else explained what was happening, Ronan figured it out. So, the object of Harold’s affection was—Cordelia!

It was a small world, wasn’t it?

A barely noticeable smirk played at the corners of Ronan’s lips, a smirk as cold as a winter’s day. He had guessed that Cordelia might have been teaching at Birchwood College.

The whole school knew that Harold had a crush on Cordelia. Only her ex-husband had been clueless!

“Dad, what’s he doing?” Callum inquired.

“Nothing,” was Ronan’s curt response, which sent a chill down Callum’s spine, making him drop the subject.

Harold got up and walked over to Cordelia. He then gestured a greeting to Ronan behind him. Following Harold’s gaze, Cordelia spotted Ronan and Callum in the crowd. She was utterly stunned!

So this happened in front of her son, no less.

“Mr. Evans, may I invite you to dinner?” Harold, with a smirk, asked Ronan.

Cordelia’s mind went blank. She watched as Callum slowly approached her, convinced that Ronan would decline the invitation. He just had to.

But to her surprise, after taking a moment to look at Cordelia, he said, “Sure.”
