Chapter 157

Chapter 157 Do You Like Me?

Cordelia held Elijah's face and called him softly, "Elijah..."

"Cordelia," Elijah called her name with a pleasant voice.

He kissed her deeply as if he wanted to lead her into the clouds or pull

her into the abyss together.

When Cordelia was pressed on the sofa, she realized that all the

sufferings of Elijah before were faked.

In fact, he was well, and he had long been eager to do it.

"Cordie..." Elijah called her in her ear over and over again.

Cordelia's tears fell, and she didn't know if it was because she couldn't

bear it or because she missed her grandma too much.

Half an hour later, they finished

Elijah took good care of her, and he never let her work from the

beginning to the end. Besides, he was careful all the time.

Wrapping Cordelia in a blanket and hugging her tightly, Elijah still

called her over and over again in her ears, "Cordie..."

"Eli?" Cordelia suddenly looked at Elijah.

Elijah’s whole body froze, and he said in embarrassment, "How do you

know my nickname? Did my mother tell you?"

Cordelia chuckled and said, "You'll never guess it. It was Jacob's

grandmother who told me.”

When Jacob was mentioned, Elijah’s expression was stern.

He paused and looked at Cordelia. "There is something I think I should

let you know."

"What is it? Eli?" Cordelia blinked and smiled.

She had been pleased by Elijah just now, and she was in a very good

mood now.

Hearing Cordelia call him Eli, Elijah smiled, and his mood became

better.

"In the past, your grandmother did make verbal engagements both

with the Hansen family and the Taylor family, and she wanted to let you

choose yourself.

"My grandpa wanted to fulfill my grandma's entrustment, so he made a

contract with your mother first.

"It's indeed not proper for my grandpa to do this, but the Taylor family

couldn't do anything about him. They could only let it go.”

Elijah stared closely at Cordelia's beautiful eyes. Seeing that there was

no disturbance in her eyes, he felt a little relieved.

Cordelia said, "I guessed this matter when Jacob quarreled with you

before. We can't change the fact now, and it's useless to talk about it.

Don't mention it again.”

Her expression was calm, as if it didn't matter to her whoever she

married, and it didn't affect her mood at all.

Elijah was silent for a while, then suddenly asked, "What if you were

given the choice back then?"

Of course, Cordelia would choose Elijah!

After all, she had a crush on Elijah for two years at that time, so she

wouldn't miss the opportunity to marry him.

But now, she no longer wanted to mention the past.

"Elijah, there are no ifs in this world. If my grandma was here today, I

would be much happier than I am now. But is there such an if?"

Cordelia said.

Her eyes were red, and she was a little choked up. "If I knew Janice had

sold me then, I wouldn't have tolerated her and the Deleon family at

all."

Elijah pressed her head against his chest. "It's my fault."

Cordelia froze in his arms.

Regardless of whether what Elijah said was coaxing her or his sincerity,

Cordelia was moved.

During this period of time, they were both living in the drama, and they

took the drama seriously gradually.

Cordelia suddenly had the courage and asked Elijah a question, "Elijah,

do you like me?"
