The Contracted Ever After (Cordelia and Ronan) novel Chapter 723

August's whole body started to shake, lost for words. He couldn't get a single word out for the longest time.

Finally, after what felt like forever, he managed to ask, "So, Mr. Evans, do you know where the real Alana is?"

Ronan looked as cautious as a man guarding his mother-in-law from harm. "Uh, what's your relationship with her?"

"I'm... I'm..." August's eyes filled with tears. "I'm August. Have you heard of me? Thirty years ago, Alana and I were movie stars. We were a real couple... Her child, she's mine."

Ronan's eyes widened, as if he was hearing this for the first time. "You're saying Cordelia is your daughter?"

"Cordelia? Your wife?" August asked, nodding solemnly.

"Let's go. We'll head to Millstone College to find her."

"Alana's at Millstone College?" August's heart raced. He hadn't expected Alana to be there. Only after learning the truth did he realize he hadn't seen her since she left for England pregnant all those years ago. All he'd seen was a shell that looked like her.

A gentle breeze blew as Ronan finally found an excuse to visit Cordelia's home.

He knocked on the door, and Whitney answered.

"Mr. Evans," she said, surprised.

"Yeah, this is August... he's, well, he's Cordelia's dad," Ronan explained.
