Chapter 191

Chapter 191 You Disappoint Me

"No," Cordelia refused firmly.

Elijah choked, and his eyes filled with sadness.

So she held Cordelia's hand and handed her the umbrella.

"Well, you better go back now. See you tomorrow!" Elijah turned andwalked into the rain without looking back.

He hurriedly walked, his figure desolate, with a hint of lost confidence.The raindrops fell on his head and body, adding a touch of sorrow.Cordelia stood still, holding the umbrella, and watched his figure for along time, and her brow always furrowed.

She was increasingly puzzled by Elijah.

Back in her little house, Cordelia made herself a serving of spaghettiand ate it. Afterward, she stared out of the window into the rainy night.When Imogen called, the phone rang for a long time before Cordeliasnapped back to reality.

"Hello, Cordelia, I heard from Ben that your hus... oh, sorry, Elijah cameto see you?"

"Yes, he came to see me because he wasn't feeling well,” Cordelia saidlightly.

"Oh, really? That's just an excuse, right?"

"He said he had a heart problem,” Cordelia said helplessly.

Imogen immediately burst into laughter, "Hahaha, he's just trying toflirt with you, Cordelia.”

Cordelia was taken aback, and after realizing it, she became somewhatannoyed.

She had been fooled by Elijah again!

"Cordelia, what are you thinking now?" Imogen asked.

Cordelia said unhappily, "Imogen, I'm exhausted. I don't want any moreinvolvement with him. I will refuse him once and for all."

Imogen, however, said meaningfully on the other end, "I'm worried thatunder his persistent pursuit, you may not be able to hold out for long.Besides, Elijah really likes you."

"That's impossible!" Cordelia reacted strongly and immediately deniedit.

Imogen fell silent on the other end, not saying anything for a while.

In the end, Cordelia softened her tone and said, "Imogen, please don'tfuel the fire anymore. Even with my firm determination, I can't resistyour continuous instigation. You should be on my side, shouldn't you?"After that, Imogen wisely avoided talking about Elijah.

After hanging up the phone, Cordelia threw herself into the soft bedand gradually fell asleep amidst the chaos in her mind.

Early the next morning, Cordelia went to the clinic for a consultation.At noon, Cordelia finally had some time to rest.

Just as she was about to have lunch, a nurse came over with a smileyface and whispered, "Evie, a handsome young man is waiting for yououtside. I invited him in, but he refused and has been standing outsidewatching you all morning.”

Cordelia glanced outside, and indeed, Elijah stood straight like a pillar.Today, he changed his clothes from yesterday and dressed himselfproperly. He still had that noble and cold look.

When Cordelia walked out of the clinic, Elijah finally showed a littlesmile and walked up to her.

"Cordelia, may I have the honor of inviting you to have a meal?" Elijahasked.

Cordelia gave him a sharp look, and a self-deprecating smile tugged atthe corner of her lips. "Fine, with all the effort you've put in, if I rejectyou again, I won't be able to forgive myself."

Her meaning was clear. She didn't continue to reject him because shefelt embarrassed, not because she was moved by him.

"Also, there's something I want to talk to you about," Cordelia said,already walking ahead.

Elijah followed behind her, looking at Cordelia's delicate figure, and inhis heart, he had a faint guess about what she wanted to say.

Sure enough, after they sat down at a small restaurant, Cordelia gotstraight to the point.

"I won't let Eva and her friends off easily, and I won't show them mercyjust because of you."

Suddenly, Elijah held her hand and said, "Cordelia, can you listen to mefor a moment?"

Cordelia raised an eyebrow.

She thought, “Elijah, I knew it. You're going to disappoint me!"
