Chapter 145

Chapter 145 Need More Practice

Cordelia suddenly tensed all over.

She hadn't expected that one day Elijah would propose something likethis. It was truly something she never thought she'd witness.

Should she be grateful or be sad?

Maybe she should feel grateful because their faltering marriage wasn'tcompletely over, and there was still a chance to salvage it.

Or maybe she should feel sad because all of this might be tied to thebaby in her belly. Elijah wanted to keep her so badly that he was willingto become so humble.

Seeing her stunned silence, Elijah grew somewhat anxious.

But on the surface, he remained composed. "You don't have to answerme hastily. Or you don't need to answer me at all.

"In any case, from now on, I will start over with you, whether you agreeor not. I'll do as you expected to learn everything about you and get toknow you again

"I'd love to live a new life with you."

After saying this, he gently held Cordelia’s face but noticed that she hadbeen crying again.

"Why are you crying again?" Elijah asked, feeling somewhat concerned.Was she really so reluctant to be with him?

"I'm fine," Cordelia said, wiping away her tears. "I'm relieved that youhave this intention. Let me think about it."

Elijah understood that she wouldn't rush into a relationship and wasquite cautious. He didn't push further because it was better to takethings slowly.

For now, Cordelia was still by his side. She was his wife, and nobodywould take her away from him!

The two of them arrived at a barbecue stall. Since it wasn't mealtime,there weren't many customers.

"Are you okay with this outdoor barbecue place?” Cordelia asked Elijah."You are, and that's all that matters. I'm fine with it," Elijah repliedwithout hesitation.

So, they sat down immediately.

The restaurant in the scenic area had limited hygiene conditions, notcomparable to the restaurants they usually went to, but they bothenjoyed their food.

Cordelia, especially, was eating with a hearty appetite. Before long, apile of skewers lay in front of her.

Seeing Elijah drink water frequently, Cordelia teased, "I asked for non-spicy skewers earlier, but you didn't agree. Now you've learned thelesson.”

Elijah rarely ate spicy food, and he never touched any spicy cuisine.

"I heard that you can get used to eating spicy food. I'm planning topractice eating it more often,” Elijah said.

This way, he could accompany Cordelia to try more restaurants andtaste different cuisines.

He knew that Cordelia used to love spicy food.

Cordelia secretly observed Elijah. Even though he was suffering fromthe spiciness, his cheeks were slightly red, but he maintained hiselegant and noble demeanor.

"Well, I never expected him to have a celebrity's ego." Cordeliachuckled to herself.

However, she remembered that she had been deeply attracted to hisunique aura when they first met.

Even though it didn't reach the point of falling in love at first sight, shestill admired his appearance and charisma.

She wasn't as infatuated as she was in her teenage years. Now, it wasmore of a secret admiration in her heart.

The two of them devoured all the food in front of them, settled the bill,and left.

At this moment, the sky was gradually darkening, and the wind in thevalley suddenly picked up. It seemed like it was about to rain.

Elijah hugged Cordelia's waist tightly and whispered in her ear, "Theaccommodation area is not far ahead. How about we stay in the scenicarea tonight?”

"Okay, let's go quickly!" Cordelia didn't hesitate and increased her pace.Until they had checked in and entered their room, it started pouringrain outside, with thunder and lightning.

Cordelia walked to the window and looked outside, murmuring, "Thechanges in Mount Damerel these years are truly significant. It doesn'tresemble the place from my childhood at all.”

Elijah's gaze deepened, and he walked over to her. He wrapped her in ablanket and held her in his arms.

"Time changes everything. Cordelia, you should look forward."

No matter what she had experienced in the past, Elijah was the manwho stood by her side now.

And he always would be!
