The Contracted Ever After (Cordelia and Ronan)

Chapter 221

Cordelia was leaving for study abroad. Brooklyn and Edwin came to see her off.

Ever since she took the contraceptive pill that day, she hadn't seen Ronan again.

And she no longer missed him.

She kept Shelley in a corner of her heart, showing only polite smiles to her friends.

This was her first time going abroad.

Ronan had arranged a school for her, but she wasn't planning to go. In secret, she had applied for a

finance major at another school, planning to get a master's degree and take a preparatory course for a

year first.

Getting a master's degree would take at least three to four years.

By then, she would be 28 years old.

For rich men like Ronan, they usually preferred younger women.

She was giving him enough time and space to find a new partner.

By then, he might want to erase her from his life.

"Cordelia, don't forget to keep in touch." Brooklyn said to Cordelia with concern.

"Sure, don't worry." Cordelia replied.

A long time after Cordelia entered customs, Edwin was still standing there.

"Let's go. What are you looking at?" Brooklyn asked Edwin.

"Alright." Edwin came back to his senses.

In the distance at the airport, Ronan's car was parked far away. He watched her enter the airport and

she never looked back.

She seemed very happy.

Sitting on the plane, Cordelia couldn't help but think about everything that had happened over the past

year. If it weren't for that accident, maybe she would still be a little short of money now. But at least

Shelley wouldn't be dead. Content bel0ngs to Nôvel(D)r/a/ma.Org.

People could never predict the future, so how could she know that Shelley would die so suddenly?

After arriving in Canada, Cordelia was busy finding a school and a house.

She thought, maybe being busy would help her forget the sadness.

She got a local cell phone number and rarely used her old number.

Until one day, more than a month later. She received a message from Jamie: [Cordelia, where are you

in the states?]

Cordelia found a one-bedroom house near the school. She was munching on bread, studying

language, and also reviewing financial management costs. She planned to take the exam when she

returned home in October.

Cordelia thought was Jamie in the states now?

She sent Jamie her location.

Jamie: [I'll come find you tomorrow.]

Being in a foreign country felt different from being at home.

Among a group of foreigners, suddenly having someone from her own country come to find her,

Cordelia was very happy. She didn't have to worry as much as she did at home. After all, no one here

knew her, and she had little contact with Ronan.

Cordelia: [Okay.]

The next day, Jamie came. He was wearing a T-shirt and looked just like a college student.

"You're here? Can I treat you to dinner? Food here is not good at all though." Cordelia complained.

Jamie smiled, "Really? Follow me."

Cordelia followed Jamie.

He had his own car abroad.

He took Cordelia to a seemingly ordinary restaurant. They didn't even order, and shortly after, the

waiter brought up several exquisite dishes.

"Try it." He said.

Cordelia took a bite and found it very tasty. She laughed and asked Jamie, "How did you come abroad

so early?"

"I've already handed over to Brenda, there's nothing to do back home, so I came out. I plan to study

abroad for a year and open a law firm. What do you think? How about we team up?" He asked

Cordelia.

Cordelia thought for a moment, "But I need to get my master's degree first. I haven't passed the

language test yet."

"It's okay, you can work in the law firm while studying, it's not mandatory." Jamie said, "Have you and

him divorced?"

Cordelia shook her head, "Not yet. I didn't want to go to the university he recommended, so I chose

another one. We've lost contact. Divorce is just a matter of time. Rich people never lack women."

"I asked Thomas about Kendra's background. She is indeed Shayla's daughter, but after the incident,

she was sent to the countryside by my father. Olen may have met her, but Ronan doesn't know her. I'm

sorry, Thomas also has responsibility for what happened to Shelley. Shelley has been wronged. Adrian

and Kendra are now living in Shelley's house. Adrian is very depressed, and Kendra miscarried." Jamie

added.

"How did she miscarry?" Cordelia asked in surprise.

It had been a tough year for both Cordelia and Adrian.

"I don't know. Adrian said she told him herself. No one knows exactly how it happened." Jamie said.

Cordelia lowered her head, slowly eating the food in her bowl.

She was thinking, could it have been a trap set by Ronan?

It was something he could totally do.

"Let's not talk about that anymore. When does your law firm open? I can invest." Cordelia asked Jamie.

"Probably this year. You don't need a lot of money to invest, and you can contribute labor shares."

Jamie said.

Cordelia nodded, "Which university are you studying at?"

"UC Davis." Jamie answered.

"What?" Cordelia was stunned.

They were at the same school?
