The Contracted Ever After (Cordelia and Ronan)

Chapter 250

"Do you have the day off?" Cordelia continued to probe Ronan.

"I do. I sorted it out with Emerson yesterday."

Cordelia figured that Ronan hadn't intentionally stayed home. After all, when Emerson had dropped by

the day before, she hadn't even returned home yet. It's not like Ronan could predict the future. "Fair

enough," was all Cordelia could muster in response.

"You mind?" he asked again.

"It's not that I mind. It just feels a bit wasteful to have you, a big-shot CEO, playing chauffeur for me,"

Cordelia responded sincerely.

"It's no big deal," Ronan replied nonchalantly.

Cordelia simply hummed in response. She was heavily pregnant and could only fit comfortably in the

back seat. Initially, she had been reluctant to buckle her seat belt, but Ronan had insisted.

As he was helping her with the seat belt, Ronan's hand accidentally brushed against her bulging belly.

It was firm, like an inflated balloon. Ronan's hand instinctively froze for a moment, his fingertips gently

tracing a circle on her stomach.

Cordelia felt a twinge of guilt at his hesitation. After all, this was his child. Despite living under the same

roof, he had never touched her belly before.

Ronan then moved to the driver's seat and started the car. Cordelia stared out of the window, and on

several occasions, she felt the urge to tell Ronan that the child was his. But the memory of her mother's

tragic fall and his ruthlessness kept her silent. Cordelia knew that her silence was cruel, but she just

couldn't bring herself to be calm and composed.

Upon arriving at PrimeBuild Contractors, Ronan and Cordelia headed to the conference room together.

Hunter was initially disdainful of Cordelia's presence but his attitude changed when he saw Ronan

trailing behind her. Suddenly, it all made sense why Will had called Cordelia separately. Perhaps

Ronan had informed Will about the situation the previous night.

It wasn't Cordelia's influence that Will valued, it was the person behind her. After all, who wouldn't want

the opportunity to collaborate with Lumos Enterprises. Ronan, a renowned figure in Millstone, was

someone everyone knew.

"I'm just the driver here," he declared before settling down at the back of the conference room, casually

picking up a newspaper to read. His attire was casual and relaxed, not at all indicative of a business

meeting.

At this moment, Will and Hunter could only pretend not to recognize Ronan.

"Ms. Haselwood?" Will greeted Cordelia courteously.

PrimeBuild Contractors was not so famous as to work with Lumos. They were familiar with Ronan, but

were unaware that Cordelia was his ex-wife. The fact that Ronan was acting as Cordelia's driver was

intriguing to them.

And with Cordelia's visible pregnancy, who could the father be?

"Right." Cordelia settled down next to them.

Hunter had already prepared the financial documents and proceeded to discuss them in detail with

Cordelia. Cordelia listened attentively, responding confidently and professionally, leaving no room for

underestimation. Initially, Will was skeptical about entrusting the project to a young woman like

Cordelia, but after receiving a call from Lumos Enterprises' CFO, Emerson, his worries were alleviated.

Observing Cordelia's professional demeanor now, Will felt reassured.

"I assure you, Mr. Hunter and Mr. Will, that the financial report will be completed before the end of the

year," Cordelia promised.

There were numerous documents and receipts scattered across the table. Cordelia couldn't carry them

all. Hunter had initially offered to help, but Ronan beat him to it with a simple, "I got it." He then Original content from NôvelDrama.Org.

gathered up the pile of paperwork and headed downstairs.

Cordelia followed suit, and as they reached the elevator, she turned around to bid the executives

goodbye with a warm smile.

"Look at the mess you've made!" Will scolded Hunter angrily.

Hunter simply lowered his head, his face turning dark.
