Chapter 80 More and More Bold
Elissa’s mind was clear.
Cordelia didn’t believe that Elijah couldn’t feel it.
But he had no intention of rejecting Elissa as if he would never refuse anyone who came.
That was right. There was really no reason to refuse a voluntary woman. Anyway, a woman like Elissa was probably a playgirl. He didn’t need to be responsible for her.
“Cordelia, tell me. Why does Ben like Elissa?” Imogen was very puzzled, and her tone was a little crazy.
Cordelia stared into the distance and said lightly, “Sometimes, falling in love with someone comes from a momentary heartbeat. But if you are in love, then it’s done. It’s difficult to change.”
Just like her affection for Elijah when she was young. She couldn’t completely forget him even today.
Imogen sighed, “That’s right. Otherwise, how could I have allowed Ben to bully me like this…”
Then, both of them were silent.
“Um, anyway, keep an eye on Elissa. She has no bottom line,”
Imogen finally told her.
“I know, Imogen.”
After hanging up the phone, Cordelia had just eaten something when she received a call from Edith.
“Cordelia, your grandpa wants to see you. So come to the nursing home,” Edith said seriously.
“Okay, Mom, I’ll be there in a while,” Cordelia replied quickly.
“Hurry up. Don’t keep Grandpa waiting.”
Edith’s attitude seemed to be reminding Cordelia that this time might not be a good thing.
So she didn’t dare to neglect and immediately went out to the nursing home in the suburbs.
The environment here was quiet and very suitable for the elderly to convalesce.
She walked into Gideon’s ward. Edith was standing beside Gideon, without sitting down, with a serious face.
Gideon coughed twice and asked in a cold voice, “Cordelia, it’s been a few months. Haven’t you been pregnant yet?”
Cordelia lowered her eyes and shook her head.
Edith looked out the window with a tired face.
“Useless!” Gideon’s cough became Worse.
has treated your family well these years, right? I heard that Elijah signed a two-year agreement with the company of your family not long ago.”
Cordelia clenched her fist behind her.
Regardless of whether she recognized Janice as her mother or not, Janice and the Deleon family had all received the favor from the Hansen family together.
Right now, she was not allowed to argue at all.
“How did you repay us, the Hansen family? I heard from Lamia that the two of you quarreled in the middle of the night. Even Edith was disturbed by you two. You have so many ideas. Why don’t you focus them on the proper thing?”
Gideon became more and more angry as he talked. Edith hurriedly patted his back. “Don’t be angry. Pregnancy is just a matter of fate. You should take care of your health. Sooner or later, you will be able to hug your great-grandson.”
Gideon coughed and said, “Baxter’s daughter-in-law can’t conceive, and your daughter-in-law can’t conceive, either. Are you all happy when I’m pissed off to death?”
Cordelia looked at Gideon and said seriously, “I really did my best for the pregnancy. Grandpa, I can understand your urgency to have your great-grandson. Or, can you just make a decision to let me and Elijah divorce?”
“What are you talking about? If the words were spread, you would not feel shameful, but we, the Hansen family, would feel shameful about it!” Gideon suddenly said angrily.
Edith also widened her eyes. “Cordelia, if you have any dissatisfaction, you can tell Grandpa and let Grandpa speak for you. Don’t say such things to irritate Grandpa.”
“Get out of here, get out of here quickly,” Gideon coughed harder.
Cordelia didn’t expect that Gideon was so disappointed in her but still refused to give up on her.
So she stepped forward, grabbed his wrist, sighed, and said, “Don’t be angry, Grandpa. Elijah and I have always been very concerned about the pregnancy. But as Mom said, it also has to wait for fate. Good things take time.”
