Chapter 181 Had a Crush on Him
At this time, Ben got up and went out.
Elijah glanced at Imogen, thought for a while, and said carefully, “Miss Lopez, I remember you were also there during the trip to Venco Hill four years ago?”
Imogen immediately sat upright when Elijah asked her. “Yes, I went to Venco Hill with Cordelia.”
“She said she knew me at that time, but I didn’t know about it at all,” Elijah said with regret.
“Mr. Hansen, how could you know? Cordelia is very good at hiding her emotions. I also met you with her in Venco Hill and found out from her that she has had a crush on you for a long time.”
Imogen kept talking without noticing Elijah’s stiff expression.
Suddenly, a shadow fell in front of her.
She raised her head in a daze and found Elijah looking down at
her.
“What did you say? Say it again!” Elijah raised his voice and fixed his eyes on Imogen.
Imogen panicked and wondered if she had said anything wrong.
”
At this time, Ben came back.
Seeing the tense atmosphere between them, he felt something was wrong and immediately stepped forward. “What’s wrong?”
“Shut up!” Elijah looked at him warningly and stared intently at Imogen. “Miss Lopez, repeat what you just said and make it clear!”
Ben stood in front of Elijah and said, “Sit back. You scare her like this. How can she have the guts to say it?”
Imogen gave Ben a thankful look and was quite satisfied with his help.
She was so scared and was lost for words.
Elijah sat back on the sofa with a scowl. “Miss Lopez, think it carefully. You’d better not lie to me, otherwise…”
Imogen pursed her l*ps and stopped acting. She said very seriously, “Mr. Hansen, don’t tell me you still don’t know Cordelia had a crush on you back then. That’s a very big regret for you.”
Except for Elijah, even Ben was shocked, too.
“What are you talking about?” Ben suddenly gripped Imogen’s wrist and warned her in a low voice, “Don’t lie to Elijah. Otherwise, I won’t be able to help you.”
“It doesn’t matter if you don’t believe it, but I’m telling the truth.
“When Cordelia heard the person she was going to marry was Elijah, you can’t imagine how happy she was. She was overjoyed, as if falling in love.
“However, I have never seen her happy again during the three years of her marriage. She didn’t even know how to smile for a period. Mr. Hansen, you may be really bad at Cordelia,” Imogen
said with a serious face.
Elijah was in a daze for a long time before he came back to his
senses.
He said with difficulty in a hoarse voice as if he had exhausted all his strength to barely make a sound.
“Since when… did she like me?”
Imogen thought for a while. “It should have been five years ago. I don’t remember the exact time. Cordelia fell in love with you at first sight when you gave a speech at our school.”
Elijah seemed to lose his soul in an instant. He slumped on the back of the sofa and didn’t say anything else.
He thought, “How possible? How could it be?”
Suddenly, he remembered the last words Cordelia said to him during the day.
“I do have many secrets. The biggest secret among them is that I
like you.”
It turned out that what she said was true!
