Chapter 173

Chapter 173 Agreed to Divorce

"Yeah, he brought twenty or thirty bodyguards.” Cordelia stared at the

book but couldn't focus herself on it at all.

"So, you surrendered?" Elijah said in a cold tone with his eyes fixed on

her.

Cordelia was amused. "No, you got me wrong. No one forced me.

Elijah, let's get a divorce!”

Elijah leaned back in the chair like a deflated balloon, as if he had been

hanging in there before.

His eyes turned red and were filled with affection and reluctance.

"Cordelia, I don't want to."

Cordelia felt distressed when hearing his tone.

She took a deep breath, tried to calm her tone, and did not look at him.

"Your grandma's wish has been fulfilled, and I can't get pregnant again.

Now, I have no use for your family."

She told the truth in a calm tone.

Elijah got up, stood in front of her, and stared at her. "Cordelia, I don't

want to. I don't want to divorce you."

Cordelia shook her head. "You just don't want to give in to your family.

But Elijah, I didn't do anything wrong, right?"

Elijah knelt on one knee on the edge of the bed and held Cordelia’s

shoulder, forcing her to look at him.

The moment he looked into her eyes, and her heart skipped a beat.

She also had deep doubts at the same time.

She couldn't help but wonder if Elijah had gotten serious about their

marriage.

Could it be he fell in love with her while they were acting?

"Cordelia, are you desperate to leave me?" Elijah stared at her earnestly

and asked.

"Why don't you understand? It's not a question of whether I want it or

not, and it's not up to you.” Cordelia's eyes revealed deep fatigue.

She was tired and got sick of the torture, so she hoped they could end

their marriage soon.

Elijah still didn't give up and said, "As long as you don't want to, we

won't separate. Tell me you don't want to, okay? I like..."

"Let's get a divorce, Elijah.”

Cordelia interrupted him, not wanting to waste time on him anymore.

She knew well that Elijah was not attached to this marriage but didn't

want to be manipulated by his family again.

Cordelia had always been regarded as a tool for bearing children, and

so did Elijah.

They were both young and were no match for the family ruler.

In fact, Cordelia sympathized with Elijah very much.

She would be completely relieved after they divorced, but Elijah had to

follow the family's arrangement to marry another woman, get married,

have a child...

He was born loaded. While enjoying the wealth and glory brought to

him by his family, he also had to shoulder the burdens given to him by

his family. He had no choice at all.

As his sex partner, Cordelia felt there was no reason for her to take risks

with him.

Elijah was stunned.

His eyes quickly dimmed like a lamp that had run out of oil with no

more light.

He smiled bitterly, withdrew his arms, and sat back on the chair in

frustration.

After a long while, he calmed down a lot.

He said with difficulty, "Okay."

Cordelia smiled. "I'm glad you can understand me. Elijah, I hope you

can be happy every day.”
