Chapter 177 Cut Loss in Time

Cordelia didn't change her mind. She looked calm and didn't say a

word.

"If you are afraid of my grandfather, I promise I won't let him hurt you,"

Elijah said firmly.

Cordelia's eyes flickered, and she looked at Elijah, who had a cold side

face.

After a long time, she said, "But Elijah, I don't want to risk my life

anymore."

Elijah was stunned, with deep sorrow gradually overflowing from his

eyes.

"I'm sorry. You may think I'm a coward, but this is who I am. I have paid

a terrible price, and I don't want to pay more. I hope you can

understand.”

She had endured all the misfortunes by herself, and no one could

replace her.

She had paid the price for her ridiculous first love, so she thought it

would be the wisest choice to stop the loss in time.

Elijah asked with a frown, "So, you still don't think that car accident was

an accident, do you?"

Until now, there was still no clue that Cordelia's car accident was

planned by someone.

They couldn't even find the proof, so this reason couldn't convince

Elijah.

Cordelia gave him a cold look and said, "Elijah, I thought you were a

sensible person.”

She didn't understand why he had to mention the suffering she just

experienced at this time and challenge her patience.

Elijah was at a loss for words for a moment.

He knew he couldn't convince a woman who was determined to leave

him.

It was his wishful thinking.

At this time, a staff member invited them in.

They had gone through the procedures once, so the processing speed

was very fast.

But there was no waiting period this time.

Gideon had arranged everything a long time ago. It seemed he was

desperate to let them divorce.

After getting the divorce certificate, Cordelia was relieved.

She stood up and walked quickly towards the door.

Elijah stared blankly at the divorce certificate, feeling its existence was a

mock for him.

"Cordelia!"

Elijah chased her into the corridor and hugged her tightly to his chest.

"Cordelia, you are the cruellest woman in the world!"

Cordelia was distressed when looking at his red eyes.

Now, she believed he did have some dependence on her.

Otherwise, there was no need for him to continue pretending since he

had gotten the divorce certificate.

He might have some feelings for her, but not too much.

At least, it was not worth Cordelia to continue to risk her life with him.

"Elijah, do you still remember you once went to Venco Hill in the

summer four years ago?”

Elijah was taken aback for a moment. His eyes froze immediately, and

he fell into memories.

"Four years ago..."

He seemed to remember that he had been there, and Ben was with

him.

"We didn't seem to know each other four years ago. How did you

know? Did Ben tell you?" Elijah asked.

Cordelia smiled faintly. "Yes, we didn't know each other at that time. To

be exact, you didn't know me, but I knew you."

Elijah was stunned.

"When did you know me? Why have you never told me?" Elijah came

back to his senses, a little excited.

Cordelia didn't answer his question.

She pursed her lips and said with a bit of sadness, "Yes, you didn't even

know me, but you took my first kiss away that night. You are too

frivolous, Elijah.”

Elijah widened his eyes in shock.

Cordelia's words made him dizzy and feel unreal.

"So, I wasn't dreaming that night? It was you!"
