Chapter 191 You Disappoint Me

"No," Cordelia refused firmly.

Elijah choked, and his eyes filled with sadness.

So she held Cordelia's hand and handed her the umbrella.

"Well, you better go back now. See you tomorrow!" Elijah turned and

walked into the rain without looking back.

He hurriedly walked, his figure desolate, with a hint of lost confidence.

The raindrops fell on his head and body, adding a touch of sorrow.

Cordelia stood still, holding the umbrella, and watched his figure for a

long time, and her brow always furrowed.

She was increasingly puzzled by Elijah.

Back in her little house, Cordelia made herself a serving of spaghetti

and ate it. Afterward, she stared out of the window into the rainy night.

When Imogen called, the phone rang for a long time before Cordelia

snapped back to reality.

"Hello, Cordelia, I heard from Ben that your hus... oh, sorry, Elijah came

to see you?"

"Yes, he came to see me because he wasn't feeling well,” Cordelia said

lightly.

"Oh, really? That's just an excuse, right?"

"He said he had a heart problem,” Cordelia said helplessly.

Imogen immediately burst into laughter, "Hahaha, he's just trying to

flirt with you, Cordelia.”

Cordelia was taken aback, and after realizing it, she became somewhat

annoyed.

She had been fooled by Elijah again!

"Cordelia, what are you thinking now?" Imogen asked.

Cordelia said unhappily, "Imogen, I'm exhausted. I don't want any more

involvement with him. I will refuse him once and for all."

Imogen, however, said meaningfully on the other end, "I'm worried that

under his persistent pursuit, you may not be able to hold out for long.

Besides, Elijah really likes you."

"That's impossible!" Cordelia reacted strongly and immediately denied

it.

Imogen fell silent on the other end, not saying anything for a while.

In the end, Cordelia softened her tone and said, "Imogen, please don't

fuel the fire anymore. Even with my firm determination, I can't resist

your continuous instigation. You should be on my side, shouldn't you?"

After that, Imogen wisely avoided talking about Elijah.

After hanging up the phone, Cordelia threw herself into the soft bed

and gradually fell asleep amidst the chaos in her mind.

Early the next morning, Cordelia went to the clinic for a consultation.

At noon, Cordelia finally had some time to rest.

Just as she was about to have lunch, a nurse came over with a smiley

face and whispered, "Evie, a handsome young man is waiting for you

outside. I invited him in, but he refused and has been standing outside

watching you all morning.”

Cordelia glanced outside, and indeed, Elijah stood straight like a pillar.

Today, he changed his clothes from yesterday and dressed himself

properly. He still had that noble and cold look.

When Cordelia walked out of the clinic, Elijah finally showed a little

smile and walked up to her.

"Cordelia, may I have the honor of inviting you to have a meal?" Elijah

asked.

Cordelia gave him a sharp look, and a self-deprecating smile tugged at

the corner of her lips. "Fine, with all the effort you've put in, if I reject

you again, I won't be able to forgive myself."

Her meaning was clear. She didn't continue to reject him because she

felt embarrassed, not because she was moved by him.

"Also, there's something I want to talk to you about," Cordelia said,

already walking ahead.

Elijah followed behind her, looking at Cordelia's delicate figure, and in

his heart, he had a faint guess about what she wanted to say.

Sure enough, after they sat down at a small restaurant, Cordelia got

straight to the point.

"I won't let Eva and her friends off easily, and I won't show them mercy

just because of you."

Suddenly, Elijah held her hand and said, "Cordelia, can you listen to me

for a moment?"

Cordelia raised an eyebrow.

She thought, “Elijah, I knew it. You're going to disappoint me!"
