The Contracted Ever After (Cordelia and Ronan) novel Chapter 747

Alana was as stubborn as they come. Once she decided not to go back to Finland, that was it—no room for August to entertain any hope. Her visa was ready, but she didn’t care.

August had to head to Finland early to manage the handover with Lumos Enterprises, so he didn't wait for Alana. He flew back on his own.

Eason spent a day at Aunt Cordelia’s before heading back to his own life. The once-celebrated psychologist had fallen from grace, discarded like an old toy by both his estranged aunt and his biological mother. That rejection gnawed at him deeply. Eason felt he didn’t need patients anymore; what he needed was redemption. Back in the UK, he wallowed in melancholy for quite some time.

Cordelia and Ronan, meanwhile, entered a deceptive calm. They continued to care for little Callum as they always had. Cordelia was slowly emerging from her grief over Jayson’s death. Yet, as August had pointed out, she had become overly cautious in her marriage to Ronan. She feared that one day Ronan might cast her aside, and she would be none the wiser about her own demise.

Suddenly, Cordelia realized she loved herself more than she loved Ronan. She found herself lost in the confusion of her marriage.

Ronan noticed the change in Cordelia but let it be. As long as she stayed by his side, he was content. Many things in marriage can’t be resolved through words or advice from others; they require personal experience.

Ronan's interest was piqued by someone else, though. Harold had his eye on someone, and it definitely wasn’t Victoria. Ronan could tell Harold found Victoria quite off-putting, utterly unable to warm up to her.
