Wake Up! You’re My Ex Now (Cordelia)
Chapter 146

Chapter 146 What It Should Be Like

On this stormy night, they shared the same bed under one blanket.Throughout the night, Elijah was worried about Cordelia getting cold,so he held her tightly.

Cordelia watched the raindrops hit the window pane without feelingthe slightest bit sleepy.

She suddenly remembered something and turned to Elijah, asking,“You've been practically missing in action since noon. Aren't youworried the company might have some urgent matters to discuss withyou?"

If she remembered correctly, his usually busy phone hadn't rung allday.

“I turned off my phone and told my assistant to contact my father if itwas really urgent,” Elijah replied carelessly.

Cordelia burst into laughter.

"Dad hasn't cared about the company’s affairs for a long time. Youreally caused him a big trouble.”

Elijah wanted to say that Cordelia and the kid mattered the

most.

But of course, he would never say that out loud.

Although apparently, he started to favor them.

“However, you should not be so willful in the future. I understand howmuch care it takes to run a company, let alone a company as big asHansen Group,” Cordelia seriously advised him.

"Ok, I get it.”

Elijah replied with a very careless attitude.

He didn't like being restricted by others unless he willingly accepted it.However, Cordelia’s comment made him realize that maybe she didn'tenjoy being constantly watched by him either.

“Cordelia, what do you think a normal married life should be like?"Cordelia was taken aback by Elijah’s question.

“Grandma said that an ordinary married life is just daily necessities.

“In the past, when everyone lived a difficult life, Grandma and Grandpaworked hard all day to make money and make life better.

“But of course, their experience isn't for every couple.”

Elijah thought for a while and then asked, “Then what do you think?”“Do you care about my opinion?” She blurted out without thinking.But as soon as she said so, she regretted sounding so self-absorbed.Elijah didn't answer immediately. “Just tell me what you think.”Cordelia lowered her gaze, her eyelashes trembling slightly. “First, I'dwant to marry someone I don't dislike, and of course, he shouldn'tdislike me either.

"He doesn't need to be very handsome or ambitious, and he definitelydoesn’t need to be wealthy. As long as he has a good character, ismentally healthy, and emotionally stable, that's enough.”

Elijah’s face darkened for a moment.

He didn't expect that Cordelia, such an outstanding woman, wouldhave such low expectations for her future partner.

“So, you think I don't fit these criteria?”

After all, he was handsome, ambitious, wealthy, had a good character,was mentally healthy, and emotionally stable. Well, at least, heconsidered himself to be.

Cordelia“s cheeks turned slightly red. She buried her face in the blanket,afraid that Elijah would notice her reaction.

“No. It's just that I never thought about it.”

When Cordelia found out that her marriage partner was Elijah, she wentto confirm this news with Janice three times.

Until she was sure that she was going to marry Elijah, her excitementwas beyond words, and she even drove her newly bought BMW into awall.

But at that time, Cordelia didn't feel distressed at all and wascompletely immersed in her imagination of the future.

Nobody could understand how dizzying it was to suddenly replace out thather fiancé was the person she had secretly admired for two years.Elijah didn't notice Cordelia’s embarrassment and continued toimmerse himself in the question. “Well, you can think about it now.”
