Chapter 193 Spend Our Whole Lives in Love
Cordelia pondered for a moment and nodded. “Okay, this is the key to my room. You can go.”
Elijah was confused, and he asked, “What about you?”
Cordelia didn’t want to be in the same intimate space with Elijah.
She replied, “I have an appointment this afternoon.”
“Well, you need some rest,” Elijah said, lifting her up hesitation.
without
“Hey, Elijah, put me down,” Cordelia whispered, her voice soft and filled with slight annoyance.
It was nap time, and she didn’t want to disturb the neighbors. around the area.
She didn’t want any rumors spreading through the small town, as it would quickly reach the entire Undernet.
“I’m happy to serve you.”
Elijah smiled, and his gaze fixed ahead with a serious. expression.
Cordelia felt a headache coming on. She didn’t need him to act
this way.
Elijah boldly carried her all the way back to their place.
Entering the courtyard, Elijah looked around and found it clean and tidy, somewhat satisfying.
However, compared to the living conditions Cordelia had in the city before, this place was still quite far behind.
He felt sorry for Cordelia.
Once they entered the house, Elijah asked, “How long do you plan to stay here?”
“I’m leaving for the next destination next week,” Cordelia replied honestly.
Elijah raised an eyebrow as he looked at her. And he suddenly realized that Cordelia was really working seriously and not avoiding him.
Cordelia sat down lazily by the bedside, leaning against it.
Seeing Elijah lost in thought, she said, “Although it’s been said many times before, Elijah, I want to tell you again, don’t waste your time on me. I won’t marry again.”
Elijah’s eyes darkened.
Eason had heard that Cordelia didn’t want to get into marriage.
Cordelia didn’t believe Eason would give up his right to marriage for her.
Eason walked over to the bed, took a chair, and sat across from her, leaning forward and looking at her.
“That’s alright. If you don’t want to get married again, we can spend our whole lives in love.”
Cordelia laughed angrily.
“So, no matter how I refuse you, it won’t work? You just have to keep clinging to me?” Cordelia asked in response.
Elijah looked at her seriously. “Cordelia, it was you who brought up the divorce, and out of respect for your decision, I went through with it. But deep down, I don’t want to.”
Cordelia lowered her gaze, unable to determine if his words were true or false.
Seeing her silence, Elijah continued, “At least give me a chance to spend some quality time with you. If we’re truly not compatible, then I’ll give up.”
Cordelia shook her head and said, “Elijah, you should take responsibility for your family.”
“I am aiready responsible enough! When necessary, I’m willing to share the honor and disgrace of my family, but they can’t
control me or manipulate me.”
Elijah seemed to have thought everything through clearly, explaining it convincingly.
Coincidentally, Cordelia understood and sympathized with him in this regard.
“I won’t interfere with your choices, so please respect my decision to stay away from you.”
Cordelia was tired and unwilling to risk anything or give anything more, including her feelings.
Suddenly, Elijah stood up, gripping her shoulders tightly. “Cordelia, you said you wanted to stand side by side with me and become a couple that everyone envies. You said that!”
Cordelia was stunned, her pupils trembling intensely.
She couldn’t help but worry about whether Elijah had discovered her past secret.
