Chapter 158 It’s a Pity
Elijah’s b*dy froze suddenly.
His reaction was great, and Cordelia had an answer in her heart instantly.
She suddenly regretted it. She shouldn’t have asked such a ridiculous question.
She said, “Just kidding. I’m sleepy. I want to go to sleep. My mind isn’t clear now, and I’m starting to talk nonsense.”
Elijah sighed helplessly, “I’ll take you upstairs and take a shower first.”
“No need,” Cordelia said.
She wrapped herself in a blanket and left as if she was not a
pregnant woman.
“Slow down. No one is chasing you,” Elijah said with a smile.
Cordelia didn’t smile.

She was too smug just now. Seeing Elijah treated her well, she thought too much.
After all, she was unworthy.
How could a man like Elijah have feelings for someone?
As she was woolgathering, she took a shower and fell into a deep sleep.
In the middle of the night, she vaguely heard someone talking in her ears, but she was too sleepy to open her eyes.
In the darkness, Elijah was holding her in his arms, whispering in her ear.
“I was almost tricked by you.
“You don’t like me, but you want me to like you. Don’t you think it is too much?
“I like you very much, but I won’t tell you. Otherwise, you will be complacent.”
Elijah didn’t realize that he was like a childish kid.
After he finished venting, he hugged Cordelia contentedly and gradually fell asleep.
Even he himself didn’t realize that during this period of time, he slept well every day, and he didn’t have any nightmares.
On the weekend, the Ilansen family had a family banquet.
Even Lamia was called back from Tarssa City.
Cordelia guessed that Gideon might have some good news to
announce again.
“I heard from my mother that Uncle Baxter has asked Aaron to divorce, and he gave Aaron’s ex-wife some money.” Lamia stood in the courtyard and whispered to Cordelia.
Cordelia frowned. In her impression, Baxter was an ordinary person with a mediocre appearance, stature, and talents. She didn’t expect him to be so decisive at home.
In this aspect, Baxter was totally different from his brother Gabe.
Gabe had an outstanding appearance. He was tall and good in business, but since he retired, he left everything in the family to his father and wife, and he didn’t care at all.
“Cordelia, do you know? Elissa has gone to Tarssa City to film. She is amazing,” Lamia said.
She looked disdainful.
Cordelia smiled faintly. “It’s a pity that she doesn’t become an
actress.”
Lamia was taken aback for a moment, then smiled and said, “Cordelia, you are skilled at scolding people!”
“Did I scold her?” Cordelia raised her eyebrows.
“Elissa has good acting skills, and she is willing to hook up with directors and producers. It’s indeed a pity that she doesn’t

become an actor,” Lamia said meaningfully.
Cordelia nodded approvingly. “Lamia, we haven’t seen each other for a long time. You are getting smarter and smarter.”
Being praised by Cordelia, Lamia became proud.
She said, “Cordelia, I’m working hard to improve myself and pursue Jacob seriously.”
