Chapter 125 Elijah Was Jealous
Cordelia knew that Imogen had a keen eye for luxury items, so she turned to look at Elijah and said, “If anyone has robbed the bank, it’s him.”
Imogen covered her mouth. “Don’t ask me why I’m covering my mouth. I’m afraid tears of envy will flow from it. Oh my God, Cordelia. How can there be such a happy woman like you in this world?”
Cordelia felt embarra*sed. “To be honest, I’m still a bit bewildered even now. I don’t know what he’s trying to convey.”
“What do you mean? You’re his wife and carrying the Hansen. family’s baby. He should be willing to do anything for you,” Imogen said matter-of-factly.
Cordelia shook her head and didn’t say anything more. After wishing Imogen success in her performance, she prepared to join Elijah in their seats.
Just then, a melodious voice stopped her. “Cora?”
Cordelia stopped and turned around. It turned out to be Ivan.
“Hello, Ivan,” Cordelia greeted politely.
“I watched the dance video of your comeback performance recently. Cora, you’re as excellent as ever. Your performance
that time was even better than before!” Ivan praised sincerely, genuinely admiring Cordelia’s talent.
“I was just filling in for Imogen that time, not making a comeback,” Cordelia explained quickly.
At that moment, Elijah walked over. “Darling, the performance is about to start. Let’s take our seats quickly!”
His voice was gentle, and the way he addressed Cordelia was
intimate.
Cordelia remembered that he would call her darling whenever Elijah a*serted their relationship.
“Ivan, go get ready. We’ll head to our seats now,” Cordelia said.
Elijah nodded in acknowledgment to Ivan and then wrapped his arm around Cordelia’s waist as they walked away.
“There seem to be quite a few admirers of you, Master Cora,” Elijah remarked, a hint of jealousy in his tone.
Cordelia quickly denied it, saying, “Ivan never pursued me.”
“Then he must have had a secret crush on you,” Elijah said with
conviction.
“I don’t have time to entertain such thoughts,” Cordelia replied, feeling helpless.
She wasn’t some irresistible catch that every man in the world
was pining for.
After they took their seats, the theater lights dimmed.
Cordelia looked toward the performers’ waiting area and saw Imogen and Ivan waving at her. She returned their waves with a
smile.
“Were you there to spy on me that time?” Elijah asked playfully.
His question immediately brought back an unpleasant memory for Cordelia.
She responded with no expression, “Of course not. I just happened to see you and Eva together by chance.”
Elijah explained, “Eva got burned that time, and I took her out to relax.”
Cordelia looked at him deeply, and after a while, she said, “You’re a good brother.”
“I’m not as good as your brother.” Elijah quickly withdrew his smile.
At that moment, the performance began.
Cordelia watched attentively and refrained from speaking to Elijah during the show.
She was completely engrossed in the dance and didn’t notice the man beside her was emitting an icy air that grew stronger over
lime.
Later, Elijah got up and left. Cordelia a*sumed he was stepping out for a smoke and didn’t pay much attention to it, focusing on the performance.
However, the performance ended, and Elijah still hadn’t returned.
Cordelia called him, and his cold voice came through the phone. “I’m at the exit.”
“Okay. I was going to find Imogen, and you…”
“Are you going to find Imogen, or are you going to find Ivan?” Elijah interrupted her, questioning.
Cordelia frowned, remained silent for a while, and then said, “Thanks for reminding me. I do have something to discuss with
Ivan.”
“Cordelia, how dare you?” Elijah’s tone was clearly tinged with anger. “Just wait. I’ll come back to find you right now.”
Suddenly, Cordelia burst into laughter. “Elijah, you’re so
childish!”
