Chapter 135 Did You Invite This Lady?
It sounded like Elijah asked Daisy to come, and they looked like a
couple in love. Daisy’s words were casual.
Elijah glanced at her without answering.
Cordelia randomly picked a seat, sat down, and asked Elijah, “Did
you invite this lady? Why didn’t you invite her to our house?”
Elijah immediately sat beside her, leaned close to her ear, and
whispered to her, “I didn’t invite her. Don’t learn from her and put
on a show.”
His voice was so low that no one could hear it except Cordelia.
After hearing this, Cordelia smiled lightly and said nothing more.
As Edith saw that Elijah performed well and made Cordelia laugh,
her expression softened.
“Daisy, how long are you planning to stay in Beilve City this time?”
Daisy’s eyes followed Elijah all the time. When she heard Edith’s question, she looked away, and there was a flash of sadness in
her eyes.
“I worked hard abroad for three years alone and finally figured it
out. I like Beilve City and the people here.”
Edith smiled politely. “Well, it’s good to stay at home.”
Cordelia could tell that Daisy’s words had a double meaning.
However, Edith was smart. She ignored Daisy’s words and talked
about something else.
“Elijah, I’m a little tired,” Cordelia whispered.
She wanted to leave, have a rest in the room upstairs, and wait for
dinner.
As if Elijah didn’t understand what she said, he put his arm around
her waist. “Rest on my shoulder.”
Daisy looked at the interaction between the two in front of her and pulled a long face.
Edith said with a smile, “Elijah loves his wife very much. Leave them alone. Daisy, it’s getting late. Why don’t you stay for
dinner?”
“No, thanks. This is your family dinner. It’s inappropriate for me to
stay.” Daisy smiled reluctantly.
Just then, Lamia entered the door and said after hearing Daisy’s
words, “Daisy is right. This is our family dinner. It’s embarra*sing for her to stay. Let’s go, Daisy. I’ll walk you out!”
Daisy almost lost control of her expression.
However, she tried her best to maintain her elegance and picked up her bag.
She glanced at the bag that Cordelia placed beside her without
being noticed.
Then, she walked out with Lamia affectionately.
Edith got up. When she pa*sed by Cordelia, she patted Cordelia
on the shoulder lightly as a sign of comfort.
Cordelia was quite calm at that moment.
Her forbearance and hard work these years were useful.
She was a well-behaved daughter-in-law of the Hansen family,
and she never caused trouble to them. Moreover, she was
pregnant now.
So, the whole Hansen family treated her well.
However, Elijah’s performance today surprised her.
He should be awarded.
After dinner, Lamia took Cordelia to her room to have a private
conversation.
Although the whole Hansen family knew what Lamia thought, she still made it mysterious.
They chatted for a while before Edith knocked on the door and walked in with a plate of fruit.
“Cordelia, don’t take what Daisy said this afternoon to heart. She is stubborn and has always been bitter about not marrying Elijah. From my point of view, she doesn’t like Elijah very much,” Edith snorted coldly.
“Yeah. Elijah doesn’t like her either. Once she drank too much on
her birthday and was stripped n*ked in front of Elijah, but Elijah
didn’t even look at her…”
“Lamia! What nonsense are you talking about?” Edith said angrily.
Cordelia’s heart sank.
She didn’t expect that Daisy would do that.
