The Contracted Ever After novel Chapter 471

For Ronald's family, the only one Cordelia had a bit of a good impression of was her Uncle Ronald. Now, Ronald was thin and walked with a slight limp.

"You really live here? Samantha and her mom are filming at Birchwood College. I came to check it out. They said you're teaching here, so I asked about your residence and came over," Ronald said.

Cordelia ushered her uncle into the room.

"Who's this little fella?" Ronald didn't recognize Callum.

"Well, a colleague's kid," Cordelia brushed it off.

Ronald looked around her home as Cordelia went to pour him a glass of water. "Cordelia, how come you disappeared for years without a word? Are you having a fallout with Ronan?" Ronald asked.

At the mention of "Ronan", Callum, who had been reading, suddenly froze. He was listening intently, but pretended to be flipping through the pages.

Cordelia paused as she poured the water, "No, I was super busy abroad, barely had time to sleep."

"Ah, so much has changed over the years. Your mom passed away, who would've thought Samantha would become a star, but she did. I visited your mom's grave recently, you know? As you get older, you start missing the past. When I was back in Roseville cleaning the house, I found some old photos of me and your mom." Ronald wiped a tear from his eye and pulled out the photos from his bag.

"Uh-huh, I know, I saw the flowers on my mom's grave," Cordelia said, taking the photos from Ronald. As she looked through the photos of her uncle and mom from their younger days, Cordelia thought of Shelley and her eyes welled up with tears.

"Your mom's death was so tragic, pushed from a building. It breaks my heart to think about it, how unfair it all was. If it wasn't for Ronan..." Ronald rubbed his head, voice choked with emotion, "Good thing you divorced him, he's cold-blooded, a snake."

"Don't talk about my dad like that!" Callum stood up angrily, glaring at Ronald, "You're lying!"
