Chapter 146 What It Should Be Like
On this stormy night, they shared the same bed under one blanket.
Throughout the night, Elijah was worried about Cordelia getting cold, so he held her tightly.
Cordelia watched the raindrops hit the window pane without feeling the slightest bit sleepy.
She suddenly remembered something and turned to Elijah, asking, “You’ve been practically missing in action since noon. Aren’t you worried the company might have some urgent matters to discuss with you?”
If she remembered correctly, his usually busy phone hadn’t rung all day.
“I turned off my phone and told my a*sistant to contact my father if it was really urgent,” Elijah replied carelessly.
Cordelia burst into laughter.
“Dad hasn’t cared about the company’s affairs for a long time. You really caused him a big trouble.”
Elijah wanted to say that Cordelia and the kid mattered the
most.
But of course, he would never say that out loud.
Although apparently, he started to favor them.
“However, you should not be so willful in the future. I understand how much care it takes to run a company, let alone a company as big as Hansen Group,” Cordelia seriously advised him.
“Ok, I get it.”
Elijah replied with a very careless attitude.
He didn’t like being restricted by others unless he willingly accepted it.
However, Cordelia’s comment made him realize that maybe she didn’t enjoy being constantly watched by him either.
“Cordelia, what do you think a normal married life should be like?”
Cordelia was taken aback by Elijah’s question.
“Grandma said that an ordinary married life is just daily necessities.
“In the past, when everyone lived a difficult life, Grandma and Grandpa worked hard all day to make money and make life better.
“But of course, their experience isn’t for every couple.”
Elijah thought for a while and then asked, “Then what do you think?”
“Do you care about my opinion?” She blurted out without thinking.
But as soon as she said so, she regretted sounding so self-absorbed.
Elijah didn’t answer immediately. “Just tell me what you think.”
Cordelia lowered her gaze, her eyelashes trembling slightly. “First, I’d want to marry someone I don’t dislike, and of course, he shouldn’t dislike me either.
“He doesn’t need to be very handsome or ambitious, and he definitely doesn’t need to be wealthy. As long as he has a good character, is mentally healthy, and emotionally stable, that’s enough.”
Elijah’s face darkened for a moment.
He didn’t expect that Cordelia, such an outstanding woman, would have such low expectations for her future partner.
“So, you think I don’t fit these criteria?”
After all, he was handsome, ambitious, wealthy, had a good character, was mentally healthy, and emotionally stable. Well, at least, he considered himself to be.
Cordelia’s cheeks turned slightly red. She buried her face in the blanket, afraid that Elijah would notice her reaction.
“No. It’s just that I never thought about it.”
When Cordelia found out that her marriage partner was Elijah, she went to confirm this news with Janice three times.
Until she was sure that she was going to marry Elijah, her excitement was beyond words, and she even drove her newly bought BMW into a wall.
But at that time, Cordelia didn’t feel distressed at all and was completely immersed in her imagination of the future.
Nob*dy could understand how dizzying it was to suddenly find out that her fiancé was the person she had secretly admired for two years.
Elijah didn’t notice Cordelia’s embarra*sment and continued to immerse himself in the question. “Well, you can think about it now.”
