Chapter 124 Lovers’ Clothes

Cordelia gritted her teeth. "Elijah, are you an animal?”

The fragrant scent at the base of her neck made Elijah's thoughts

wander a bit.

He realized that he had weak self-control when it came to Cordelia. He

quickly let her go, leaving a faint mark where he had nibbled.

"Cordelia, what's gotten into you?" Elijah asked with a frown.

Cordelia pursed her lips and remained silent.

"How can you skip a meal when you throw a tantrum? Think about the

baby," Elijah said.

Cordelia looked at him coldly, thinking he was just concerned about the

baby.

It seemed that all his care and concessions were because of this baby.

"The morning sickness makes me lose my appetite. I don't want to eat,”

Cordelia said coldly.

Elijah's brow relaxed slightly. "I know you've been through a lot, so I

returned early to be with you and brought you a gift."

He spoke as he tried to lead her back inside.

"If the gift you're talking about is the same bag everyone has, you don't

need to bother,” Cordelia said, pushing him away and eyeing him

warily.

"Everyone has it?" Elijah strode forward and took out the bag from the

handbag. "Who else can carry a bag worth a house? Show me!"

Cordelia was stunned.

The bag Elijah took out wasn't the same as the one Mae and Eva had.

This bag was predominantly white with diamond accents. Under the

lighting, it glinted and sparkled, almost blinding Cordelia.

"Are you crazy?" Cordelia was incredulous.

If she remembered correctly, this bag was a limited edition from a

famous brand worth over ten million dollars.

Given what she knew about Elijah, he wasn't the type to squander

money.

"I told you it's a gift for you," Elijah said with a straight face, displeased.

He reached over, took Cordelia’s bag worth tens of thousands of dollars

from her, and emptied its contents.

"What are you doing?" Cordelia hurriedly approached and said

anxiously.

"Since you have a new bag, why carry the old one? Don't you like the

gift I gave you?" Elijah arched an eyebrow.

Cordelia sighed, "Aren't you worried I'll get robbed on the street?"

"I'l accompany you. The theater will be crowded. It's better to have a

bodyguard with you.”

While saying that, Elijah organized Cordelia's phone, makeup, and

tissues into the new bag. He then handed it back to her.

"Wait for me. I'll change clothes.”

Cordelia stood in place, holding the bag worth over ten million dollars

that now belonged to her, feeling confused and messy.

"What on earth is happening?" She thought.

Not long after, Elijah came downstairs.

He wore a light blue casual shirt that seemed to match Cordelia's light

blue dress quite well.

Cordelia raised an eyebrow, about to ask a question, but Elijah had

already taken her hand and said, "Let's go!"

"You're not having dinner either?"

Cordelia was a bit worried since Elijah was prone to stomach issues if he

didn't eat on time.

"Yeah. I'll have dinner whenever you want to eat.”

Elijah had already changed his shoes while speaking. He opened the

door and led her out.

By the time they arrived, the theater was already packed with people.

Cordelia took Elijah straight to the backstage area to get the tickets

from Imogen.

At this point, Imogen had finished her heavy makeup and changed into

the clothes she would wear on stage.

Despite her petite frame, she exuded an indescribable charm

"Here you go. VIP seats, front row.”

Imogen noticed the hickey on Cordelia's neck with a glance. She then

lowered her gaze with a smile and saw the bag Cordelia was carrying

today.

She suddenly looked up, staring at Cordelia in disbelief. "Holy shit. Did

you rob a bank, Cordelia? How dare you carry 2,000 diamonds on you?"
