Chapter 97 No Divorce
Cordelia didn’t want to speak to him and turned over.
“Cordelia, I’ve thought about it carefully.”
Behind her came the sound of sl*ppers rubbing against the floor.
Elijah slowly approached her and finally stood by the bed, staring at her side face with burning eyes.
Cordelia was really uncomfortable being stared at by him for a long time, so she sat up.
“What the hell are you trying to say?”
Elijah seemed to like to see her little prickly face. He was sitting down slowly, not in a hurry.
“Then shut up your mouth for good.”
Cordelia got out of bed and was about to stand up but staggered. The muscles in her legs were trembling.
She found that her legs did not seem to be her own.
So, she gritted her teeth and sat back beside the bed.
At this time, the man’s voice came from the top of her head. “I thought about it. I will not cure Eva’s leg.”
Cordelia froze and slowly turned to look at Elijah.
She saw his full l*ps move slightly, and he said lightly, “We won’t divorce!”
“Elijah…” Cordelia’s eyes turned red. “Why do you bully me so much?”
Elijah chuckled and leaned closer to her small face, “You are my wife. If I don’t bully you, who will I bully?”
The bully he referred to was obviously related to something on the bed.
“No! We have to divorce!” Cordelia pushed his hand away. She had no obligation to continue to endure his impertinence.
Elijah’s eyes darkened slightly.
“In the three years since you married into the Hansen family, no one has mistreated you, right? And it protected you from three years of hardships.
“Now that you’ve consolidated your power, your family has acquired enough things from me, and you have Milo backing you up, so you decided to kick me away?”
Cordelia looked at Elijah in disbelief. “So this is what you have been thinking about for such a long time?”
“Otherwise?” Elijah turned up his volume. “I admit that I was
really dissatisfied with my family’s interference in my marriage back then. At that time, I didn’t even know whether you were black or white, tall, short, chubby, or slender.
“But, do you know how much the Deleon family sold you? Three hundred million dollars!”
Cordelia’s eyes widened suddenly.
She said anxiously, “I don’t know about this at all. I wouldn’t have let them ask for so much if I had known initially!”
Elijah caressed her face. “I know you have no idea about this.”
After all, they had been married for three years. Despite their bad relationship, they still understood each other’s temperament.
However, the surprises that Cordelia brought him were continuously being updated. She constantly brought him new feelings.
“For the sake of the Hansen family’s so much love for you, you should rethink about the divorce, right?”
Elijah’s persuasiveness in presenting the facts and reasoning made Cordelia fall into thinking for a while.
“So, you really plan to stick to this meaningless marriage at the price of Eva’s legs?” She asked him puzzled,
Elijah raised his eyebrows with a serious face. “I know better
than anyone else whether my marriage is meaningful or not.
As for Eva, I think it is much more rea*suring for her to sit in a wheelchair when she has such a temper.”
“Really? Aren’t you afraid that she will commit suicide again?” Cordelia asked coolly.
“I can only protect her from being bullied by outsiders. No one can prevent her if she insists on seeking her own death,” Elijah said in a cold tone.
Cordelia frowned. After talking for a long time, he would continue to protect and involve Eva.
She was restless, and her stomach gradually began to churn again. She quickly covered her mouth and ran towards the bathroom.
Elijah looked at her hurried back in surprise and hurriedly followed her.
