Chapter 132 The Same to Other Women
“Cordelia, I will deal with this matter as soon as possible. I will go
home within an hour,” Elijah said solemnly.
Cordelia looked at him for a while with an unknown look in her
eyes.
Suddenly, Elijah bent over, leaned into the car window, and k*ssed
her on the l*ps. “Be good. Go back first. I will take care of it.”
Imogen opened her mouth wide.
She thought, “Oh my god, I didn’t expect that Mr. Hansen, who was said to be cold, would treat a woman so proactively!”
Cordelia drove the car far away. Imogen suddenly screamed,
“Wow, Cordelia, your husband treats you so well…”
“It’s normal. I think he may treat other women the same way.” Cordelia frowned, feeling very irritable.
Imogen immediately helped Elijah deny it. “No. Cordelia, I heard from Ben that he has known Elijah for so many years, and Elijah has behaved himself.”
Cordelia raised her eyebrows. “Oh? Can we believe Ben’s words?”
“Yes. He doesn’t need to lie to me about this kind of thing. After all, it’s someone else’s business.” Imogen looked serious.
“Anyway, Cordelia, I think you should be more confident. Besides, you have a trump card in your hand. What are you afraid of?”
Cordelia pursed her l*ps and listened to Imogen without saying a
word.
“Although Ben is rude in bed, he has been useful to me.
“The relationship between the two of us was very simple from
the beginning. We followed the arrangement of our families, got engaged, and took what we needed from each other.
“Later, after my family’s accident, our relationship dragged on.
“He is annoying, but he won’t talk at random. His words are
credible, Cordelia.”
Cordelia would not completely trust men, but Imogen’s words did
give her some comfort.
After sending Imogen home, Cordelia went straight back to the Maple Villa.
She didn’t wait for Elijah. She took a shower and fell asleep.
Dazedly, she felt herself in a clammy embrace.
She was uncomfortable and wanted to escape but was hugged
tighter and tighter.
So, she forced herself to open her eyes and saw Elijah’s strong
ch*st muscles.
His hair was wet, and he hadn’t dried it. He was lowering his head
slightly, staring at her seriously with deep eyes.
“You disturbed my sleep,” Cordelia muttered with dissatisfaction.
“Baby…” Elijah leaned closer to her ear and said in a low voice,
“Sorry to make you suffer.”
Cordelia’s b*dy visibly stiffened.
Did Elijah admit his mistake?
Hearing him say that, Cordelia was somewhat relieved.
Maybe Elijah was not as bad as she imagined.
She didn’t dare to draw conclusions easily for fear of making a
mistake.
“I have arranged a professional medical team for Eva. Next, I will
try to reduce the number of times I visit her.”
Elijah’s voice was very low, but on this silent night, Cordelia could
hear it.
After all, Eva was the sister of Elijah’s savior. He couldn’t ignore
her.
But today he reacted quickly after hearing Eva’s remarks, which
surprised Cordelia.
Cordelia thought that Elijah would continue to defend Eva and
play deaf and dumb.
Seeing that she didn’t speak, Elijah said in a more sincere tone,
“My guilt fueled Eva’s bad thoughts. Cordelia, I miss Tristan. If possible, I would rather be the one who died at that time.”
