Wake Up! You’re My Ex Now (Cordelia)
Chapter 177

Chapter 177 Cut Loss in Time

Cordelia didn't change her mind. She looked calm and didn't say aword.

"If you are afraid of my grandfather, I promise I won't let him hurt you,"Elijah said firmly.

Cordelia's eyes flickered, and she looked at Elijah, who had a cold sideface.

After a long time, she said, "But Elijah, I don't want to risk my lifeanymore."

Elijah was stunned, with deep sorrow gradually overflowing from hiseyes.

"I'm sorry. You may think I'm a coward, but this is who I am. I have paida terrible price, and I don't want to pay more. I hope you canunderstand.”

She had endured all the misfortunes by herself, and no one couldreplace her.

She had paid the price for her ridiculous first love, so she thought itwould be the wisest choice to stop the loss in time.

Elijah asked with a frown, "So, you still don't think that car accident wasan accident, do you?"

Until now, there was still no clue that Cordelia's car accident wasplanned by someone.

They couldn't even replace the proof, so this reason couldn't convinceElijah.

Cordelia gave him a cold look and said, "Elijah, I thought you were asensible person.”

She didn't understand why he had to mention the suffering she justexperienced at this time and challenge her patience.

Elijah was at a loss for words for a moment.

He knew he couldn't convince a woman who was determined to leavehim.

It was his wishful thinking.

At this time, a staff member invited them in.

They had gone through the procedures once, so the processing speedwas very fast.

But there was no waiting period this time.

Gideon had arranged everything a long time ago. It seemed he wasdesperate to let them divorce.

After getting the divorce certificate, Cordelia was relieved.

She stood up and walked quickly towards the door.

Elijah stared blankly at the divorce certificate, feeling its existence was amock for him.

"Cordelia!"

Elijah chased her into the corridor and hugged her tightly to his chest."Cordelia, you are the cruellest woman in the world!"

Cordelia was distressed when looking at his red eyes.

Now, she believed he did have some dependence on her.

Otherwise, there was no need for him to continue pretending since hehad gotten the divorce certificate.

He might have some feelings for her, but not too much.

At least, it was not worth Cordelia to continue to risk her life with him."Elijah, do you still remember you once went to Venco Hill in thesummer four years ago?”

Elijah was taken aback for a moment. His eyes froze immediately, andhe fell into memories.

"Four years ago..."

He seemed to remember that he had been there, and Ben was withhim.

"We didn't seem to know each other four years ago. How did youknow? Did Ben tell you?" Elijah asked.

Cordelia smiled faintly. "Yes, we didn't know each other at that time. Tobe exact, you didn't know me, but I knew you."

Elijah was stunned.

"When did you know me? Why have you never told me?" Elijah cameback to his senses, a little excited.

Cordelia didn't answer his question.

She pursed her lips and said with a bit of sadness, "Yes, you didn't evenknow me, but you took my first kiss away that night. You are toofrivolous, Elijah.”

Elijah widened his eyes in shock.

Cordelia's words made him dizzy and feel unreal.

"So, I wasn't dreaming that night? It was you!"
