Chapter 190 You Will Disappoint Me!
“You came all the way here to find me? What’s the matter?” Cordelia looked at him, puzzled.
Elijah held an umbrella for her as they walked side by side.
“I missed you, wanted to see you.”
Cordelia replied coldly, “Elijah, you really don’t have to do this. Tell me, what do you need my help with?”
“Nothing.” Elijah smiled bitterly.
Elijah never knew that, in the eyes of Cordelia, he was such a
person.
It made him feel uneasy.
Since he said there was nothing, Cordelia took note of it in her
heart.
From now on, no matter what Elijah asked for, she wouldn’t help.
After that, the two walked in silence.
It wasn’t until Cordelia saw the courtyard of her guesthouse
ahead that she spoke, “Thank you for walking me back. You said you wanted to see me, and now you have. So…”
Elijah tightened his grip on the umbrella and looked earnestly at her beautiful features. “Cordelia, I told you before that I wanted to pursue you again, but you ran away. What are you afraid of?”
“Elijah, do you think marriage is just a game? I don’t accept your pursuit. I’m not afraid of anything, and I simply wanted to leave Beilve City and travel around,” Cordelia said calmly.
“Then give me a reason, a reason to reject me,” Elijah pressed.
“You should create a new family with a woman who matches your social status instead of going down the same old path!” Cordelia stated firmly.
“You are the woman!”
“Elijah!” Cordelia grew angry.
She didn’t want to get angry, but Elijah’s persistent pestering made her a little impatient in the end.
“Elijah, I’m not your backup plan. When you remember, you come running to me for comfort!” Cordelia said seriously.
Elijah froze, looking at Cordelia’s eyes filled with displeasure. Suddenly, he laughed.
“Cordelia, have you misunderstood?”
“Not at all.”
“I won’t accept the arrangements from my family anymore. If my grandfather forces me, I’ll leave there!” Elijah said firmly.
Cordelia looked at him in disbelief, and then her gaze immediately turned serious.
She didn’t believe it.
Although Elijah said he didn’t accept the arrangements from his family, he still went out on a date with Daisy.
Cordelia couldn’t help but suspect that Elijah had suffered some grievances from Daisy, and then he remembered her as a soft target.
Under the umbrella, their breaths were so close, and his fam scent lingered around Cordelia’s nose, making her instinctive.
resist.
But Elijah quickly reached out and pulled her into his embrace.
Under the umbrella, their breaths were so close, his familiar scent lingered around Cordelia’s nose, making her instinctively
resist.
“Let go of me.”
“Cordelia, whether you believe it or not, I missed you so much that I traveled all this way to find you.”
Elijah said, afraid that if he spoke too slowly, Cordelia would push him away and escape.
“It’s okay if you don’t accept my pursuit. I will continue to be your suitor until you agree to be my girlfriend!”
Cordelia stiffened, and her mind was in chaos.
Cordelia was confused by him.
At that moment, the landlady pa*sed by and called out, “Miss Carter, is that you?”
Cordelia reflexively pushed Elijah away, stuck her head out from under the umbrella, and smiled. “Madam, it’s me.”
“I thought it was you. And who is this…”
“My friend.”
“Boyfriend!”
They both answered simultaneously.
The landlady burst into laughter, and her face full of wrinkles.
“It’s cold outside. Bring your boyfriend inside!”
Cordelia was at a loss for words.
So, it seemed that her words had no effect.
“Cordie, can I come in?” Elijah asked with a pretense of being well-behaved, his expression sincere and serious.
