Chapter 396


    Olen and Amanda were just in their bedroom.


    Olen was tucked away in the corner and tried to avoid meeting Cordelia. Amanda was constantly trying


    to convince him that it was better to reconcile with Cordelia.


    "But what I''ve done to her family is not a grudge. It''s a sin!" At this moment, Olen was very clear-


    headed.


    "But you did that when you were not in your right mind. Cordelia will forgive you. Besides, hasn''t Ronan


    covered it up for you? You need to trust Ronan and not let him down," Amanda said while stroking


    Olen''s chest. "Shelley is gone now, stop overthinking this, okay?"


    Olen sorted out his messy thoughts for a while before he finally stepped out. Seeing Amanda and Olen


    eating. As for why she didn’t greet Olen, everyone understood, and no one med her.


    The food that was once delicious suddenly tasted nd to Cordelia. After forcing down a few bites, she


    went upstairs. She wanted to change her clothes, but she couldn''t find anything. It was as if there was


    no trace of her ever living here.


    "Are you upset again?" Ronan went upstairs and asked Cordelia.


    "Where are my clothes?" She asked Ronan.


    "Burnt them."


    "Burnt?" Cordelia asked Ronan with a frown.


    But Cordelia didn''t explode. She had juste back and didn''t want to start a fight with Ronan right


    away. She could imagine his anger, as she had defiantly gone abroad against his wishes.


    "So, what should I wear?" Cordelia asked him.


    She was in a rush when she came back and didn''t pack many clothes, including the scarf he bought for


    her, which she loved. She didn''t bring it back and left it in the States.


    "You?" Ronan looked her up and down with bad intent. "You look best with nothing on. This time, leave


    me a few dozen nude photos."


    "Get lost!" Cordelia said.


    Ronan sat on the sofa, seemingly feeling aroused by Cordelia''s words.


    Cordelia didn''t share his good mood. She had just seen Olen, and na had mentioned "Allison," it all


    made Cordelia feel unsettled.


    "How long will you stay at home this time?" Ronan asked her.


    Ronan knew that with her stubborn character, preventing her frompleting her studies was like


    killing her, so he didn''t bring it up anymore.


    "Maybe just a few days, my coursework is really intense," Cordelia said while packing her luggage.


    "Don''t get too carried away with your studies and forget where your heart belongs," he said.


    Cordelia''s hand paused. "My life in the States is very simple. I just go back and forth between school


    and home. I focus all my attention on studying and barely have any contact with men."


    "Will youe back twice a month from now on?" He asked.


    "Yes, depending on the situation. If there are exams, I won''t be able toe back."


    "Aren''t you afraid I''ll cheat on you?"


    Cordelia considered for a moment. "We''re divorced. If you find someone more suitable, you can


    choose."


    Ronan couldn''t help but chuckle. Indeed, with her increased knowledge and experience, she seemed


    indifferent to rtionships.

    "Do you know Brooklyn got promoted?"


    At this, Cordelia stopped and looked up. "Promoted to what?"


    "Project team leader."


    Cordelia thought for a moment. "Not a big promotion, and with her current level of education, she won’t


    have many options in the future."


    "Do you want to have other options?"


    "Not sure, I just want to hold my future in my own hands and not drift with the tide."


    Ronan originally wanted to use all his power to keep Cordelia by his side. He wanted to tell her that she


    didn''t need to rely on her education; she could rely on him, and that wouldn’t be a problem at all. But


    Cordelia didn''t fall for it and easily solved this problem.
