Chapter 291 I Already Have a Boyfriend

Elijah chuckled self-deprecatingly and said, "Cordelia, I'm absolutely

sick of this hereditary family system. How is this still happening in the

modern society?"

"But your family is indeed very powerful,” Cordelia sighed.

With his own power, Elijah effortlessly brought down the entire Watts

family, making them history in Beilve City overnight. The Hansen family

in Beilve City was an invincible force that couldn't be shaken.

Cordelia knew very well that if Elijah left his family, everything in the

future would be uncertain.

It took great courage to make such a decision.

No wonder Milo wanted Cordelia to stay in Grant City. On the one

hand, he didn't want her to get involved in this turmoil, and on the

other hand, he was testing Elijah’s abilities and courage.

"Cordelia, will you wait for me?" Elijah suddenly asked.

Cordelia was lost in thought for a moment before coming back to her

senses. "Yes, I will."

Elijah seemed visibly relieved and let out a sigh. "Cordelia, you scared

me."

Just now, he had been holding his breath and waiting for Cordelia's

answer.

That brief moment of hesitation from Cordelia felt like a century to him.

Cordelia laughed lightly and said, "I wasn't hesitant. It's just that you

suddenly asked me such a serious question, and I couldn't react in

time."

"I can tell that you're not forcing yourself," Elijah said seriously.

"Everything is temporary. Elijah, don't worry,” Cordelia reassured him.

Her voice sounded even softer through the phone, soothing Elijah's

anxious mood.

Later, they accompanied each other into dreamland through a video

call, just like before.

In the afternoon, Mia invited Cordelia to her home.

At that time, Eason was also by Cordelia's side. Seeing her hesitant

expression, Eason spoke up, "Cordelia, my mother currently lives alone,

and she might feel a bit lonely, so she's usually very hospitable.”

Upon hearing this, Cordelia immediately agreed.

After all, if she only had to deal with Mia alone, Cordelia was willing to

be a guest.

So, that night, Cordelia went to Mia's apartment for dinner.

Mia lived in a prime location, occupying 2150 square feet flat.

There were servants in the apartment, and the chef prepared the

dinner.

When Mia saw Eason bringing Cordelia in, her eyes lit up with a smile.

"Cordelia, come in and have a seat. Have some fruits first, and we will

start dinner soon.”

After thanking Mia, Cordelia sat down on the sofa in the living room

and chatted with her.

When Cordelia mentioned her studio, Mia immediately took out a few

pieces of the latest season's designs. "Cordelia, you are truly talented.

Whoever marries you, he is truly fortunate!"

As she spoke, Mia glanced at Eason, her eyes filled with implications.

Cordelia felt a bit uneasy. Based on Mia's taste, she shouldn't be

purchasing clothes from their mid-range brand.

Cordelia suddenly seemed to have an answer.

She couldn't help but look at Eason. Seeing the warm smile on his face,

she was momentarily stunned.

It seemed that the relationship between Eason and Mia was very

harmonious, and his smile right now was truly warm.

Carefully considering Mia's words, Cordelia hurriedly explained, "Ms.

Mia Holland, I already have a boyfriend. I introduced him to you last

time, don't you remember?"

Coincidentally, as soon as Cordelia finished speaking, Eason got up and

went to answer a phone call.

Mia glanced at Eason’s back, smiled lightly, and then looked at

Cordelia, asking, "Cordelia, where is your boyfriend from? What does he

do?"

As she spoke, Mia discreetly clenched her hand, her nails deeply

digging into her palm.
