Chapter 217 Feel Wronged

Later, Cordelia left.

Eason sat across from Milo, sipping coffee. His face was filled with

exhaustion.

Milo said, "Eason, go rest in the guest room for a while if you're tired.”

“I'l go in a moment.” Eason nodded with gratitude.

Suddenly, Milo said softly, "Cordelia is a good girl. It's surely a great

loss for whoever misses out on her."

"Mr. Carter, I can tell Cordelia still has feelings for Elijah," Eason looked

down at the coffee in front of him, saying calmly.

Milo smiled and said no more.

He saw through Eason's love for Cordelia but kept silent, knowing that

this young man would regret it someday.

Cordelia went to her studio. In the afternoon, Elijah called her.

"Would you like to have dinner with me tonight?"

"No, I have to work overtime today,” Cordelia lied casually.

She didn't want to get too close to Elijah, even though he was pursuing

her now.

"Then I'll come and keep you company,” Elijah insisted.

Cordelia frowned and was about to refuse, but then she heard Elijah

say, "I know you've been wronged today. You need some comfort from

Cookie."

Thinking about Cookie's cute appearance, Cordelia hesitated visibly.

"Send me your address. I'll come and keep you company, then take you

back to the Maple Villa," Elijah persisted.

Cordelia was convinced by him.

In the end, she only said one sentence before hanging up, "I'm at the

studio.”

She didn't feel wronged.

Since she independently treated patients at the age of eighteen, she

was doubted many times. She would ask them to find someone else if

they had any doubts. There was no need to feel wronged.

She agreed to Elijah mostly because of Cookie.

Well, she couldn't refuse an obedient and adorable cat that allowed her

to play with it as she pleased.

An hour later, Elijah arrived.

He waited in Cordelia’s office, holding a laptop and working with her,

looking busy.

It was just after the evening rush hour as Cordelia finished her work.

Elijah took Cordelia back to the Maple Villa.

Dinner was already prepared and kept in a thermal box. The chef and

Nora had already left.

As soon as they entered the villa, Cordelia saw Cookie walking towards

her with a proud stride. It rubbed against her ankle, then turned its butt

towards her, meowing.

Cordelia's eyes lit up. She immediately picked up the cat toy and played

with Cookie.

Elijah sat on the side, his gaze fixed on her without moving away.

"Cordie, can I accompany you if you give consultations to patients next

time?"

Cordelia paused and looked back at him. "You're so busy with work. I

don't think it's a good idea."

But Elijah said seriously, "I don't want something like today to happen

again.”

"This is inevitable. Elijah, I'm not a delicate flower in a greenhouse.”

Cordelia put down the cat toy, picked up Cookie, and sat on the sofa.

"But you let Eason accompany you..." Elijah leaned forward with his

gaze following her.

That expression seemed to say, "If he can, why can't I? I feel wronged."

Cordelia helplessly said, "Fine, come with me next time, okay? But I

can't take you every time. Elijah, you should focus on your career.”

Just then, Elijah's phone rang. He answered it directly, put it on

speakerphone, leaned back on the sofa, and lazily spoke on the phone.

"Mr. Hansen, the professor is going on a business trip, so the

alternative medicine class for this week will be canceled.”

Hearing this, Cordelia was confused.

She thought, "What's going on?"
