Chapter 377
While there was no emotion in the Messenger messages Cordelia sent to Brenda and Tristi, she was
certainly in a foul mood.
She didn't want Ronan to know she had cried and gotten sick over him. After all, he seemed to care so
little about her and was already rolling in the hay with someone else barely a month after her departure.
If she cried over him, wouldn't that make her appear too emotionally invested, or too hung up on him?
Thankfully, she was overseas, and Ronan remained blissfully ignorant of her thoughts and feelings.
If Ronan's "gift" to Cordelia after a month of separation was sleeping with someone else, wasn’t it only
right for Cordelia to reciprocate with a gift of her own?
Cordelia was distracted by thoughts of Ronan during class the next day and found it hard to keep up
with the already challenging material.
The task set by the professor was to write an essay on the Capital Asset Pricing Model, a topic filled
with complex terminology.
She snapped a picture of the chalkboard filled with these terms and their explanations. She made a
collage for a Facebook post with notes from her previous readings and a caption stating her
determination to pull an all-nighter to complete the essay.
Cordelia wasn't one to frequently post on Facebook.
The academic nature of this post was palpable, showcasing her diligence and dedication towards her
studies. The post garnered a plethora of likes.
These likes were not out of courtesy for Ronan, but genuine admiration. After all, in this day and age, © 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.
those who buried their heads in academia were few and far between. Cordelia's dedication, especially
as a woman and a mother returning to academia, was truly inspiring.
Emerson liked her post and left a comment, filled with thumbs-up emojis and a sincere word of
admiration.
Deanna, ever sarcastic and mocking, commented. [Oh, playing the female scholar, are we? Careful,
scholars make for old maids!]
The subtext of Deanna's comment was clear – Cordelia would have a hard time remarrying, let alone
getting back with Ronan.
Brooklyn commented. [What on earth is all this? It's all Greek to me. I can't understand a single word.]
Edwin also left a comment. [Impressive! I feel so dumb.]
From his office, Ronan observed the flood of comments with a cold gaze. Clearly, Cordelia's Facebook
post had garnered quite the attention and won over many. He didn't know if she had seen the news
about him and Tabitha.
If she did know and remained so aloof, it meant she truly didn't care about him and was only concerned
with her studies. Even if she had heard about the scandal, she probably wouldn't care. After all, a
woman so engrossed in her scholarly pursuits wouldn't have time for gossip, much less sordid affairs.
She was the epitome of a virtuous woman, keeping her ears closed to worldly matters, and her mind
focused on her books. No scandal of Ronan’s could shake her.
The difference between her and Ronan was glaringly clear.
She didn’t care about him, not in the slightest! How infuriating!
Jamie also left a comment on Cordelia’s Facebook post, earnestly outlining the potential arguments for
her essay and recommending numerous books.
[Cordelia, once you’ve gone through these books, you should have no problem with your essay,] Jamie
commented.
