Chapter 399 A Stupid Lie

"But Cordelia, do you really not consider Eason? It can be seen that he

likes you very much and is no worse than Elijah in all aspects,” Imogen

asked cautiously, fearing that Cordelia would fall out again.

"Imogen, gratitude and affection are different. Since I have someone in

my heart, I can no longer think about other people.”

Cordelia had always been simple and pure when it came to feelings.

Imogen could see that.

Indeed, they were in different situations.

When Imogen looked for a man, she had to consider their future,

income, family background, and many other aspects.

But Cordelia was different.

She had achieved a lot at a young age and had many investments

Even if she did nothing and maintained her current income, she would

be able to live freely without worries about the rest of her life.

Instead, Imogen was dazed that she believed in the future that Ben

promised her.

That was why she would be so devastated and heartbroken like never

before when she saw Ben take other women to the hotel.

In the past, she didn't care because she never believed in Ben and never

thought about their future.

But it was different now.

She foolishly entrusted herself and her child to such an unreliable man,

which was the most frustrating thing.

She wanted to give up those two children as she didn't want to think of

those stupid things she had done when she saw them in the future.

It was also a decision she made on impulse.

Fortunately, Cordelia stopped her in time and pulled her back from the

edge of breaking down.

"Cordelia, I really envy you. I seem not sober recently,” Imogen said

shamelessly.

Cordelia quickly comforted her. "You silly girl, you are now pregnant.

Your body's hormone imbalance has caused your emotional instability,

which is normal.”

Imogen smiled bitterly. "Really? You are good at comforting me that

you actually made me believe it."

Cordelia couldn't help but laugh. "Also, I heard that a pregnant woman

will become stupid. So, you have now become stupid and can be easily

deceived. You should be more careful next time."

Imogen was stunned. "Wah, what you said makes sense, Cordelia. I

suddenly figured it out and didn't dislike myself so much.”

"Imogen, I'm asking someone to investigate that matter, and I'll give

you an explanation. If Ben didn't lie, would you be relieved?" Cordelia

asked gently.

"I have let go of that matter already, Cordelia, but I won't be so stupid,

and I will not meet Ben again,” Imogen said firmly.

"Okay, Imogen, then just wait patiently for my update,” Cordelia said

with a smile.

Hanging up the phone, Cordelia saw a text message.

She didn't need to look that she knew the person who sent her a

message in that hour must be Elijah. After all, the mobile company went

off work at this time.

[Cordelia, Mr. Lawson has a gout attack. My mother wants you to go

and check on him]

Cordelia took a glance and threw the phone aside. "What a stupid lie."

With that said, she turned off her phone and went straight to sleep.

The next morning, she received a call from Eason.

They had a regular meeting at Elia Research Institute, and Eason wanted

to come to pick her up.

Regarding his sudden attentiveness, Cordelia guessed that he probably

had something to talk to her about, and it probably had something to

do with the banquet the night before.

So, she agreed and left the Maple Villa with him in his car.

Elijah watched their car pass him by, and his eyes followed them as they

drove away, welled up with sadness.

They were both single and unmarried, so they could indeed meet and

even associate with each other without restraint.

Elijah couldn't help but clenched his fist and punched the courtyard

wall beside him, leaving a little scarlet on the wall just thinking about

that.
