Chapter 198 I Want to Sleep in Your Bed

Cordelia sighed and muttered to herself, "I didn't expect Eason to havesuch a childish side.”

He actually went along with Imogen's antics.

So Cordelia had no choice but to reply to Imogen's message. [Thankyou so much for this, but please don't do it again...]

[Haha...] Imogen immediately responded. It was obvious that sheenjoyed stirring up trouble and didn't mind pouring oil on the flame.Cordelia helplessly turned off her phone to avoid unnecessarycomplications, claiming that she needed beauty sleep.

With the phone off, the world was tranquil.

She enjoyed a comfortable hot shower, feeling relaxed. Then she wentto bed.

It wasn't until the next morning when her phone automatically turnedon and the alarm rang, that she reluctantly opened her sleepy eyes.There was a knock on the door from outside

It was early in the morning. Cordelia thought it was the landlady, so sherushed to open the door with her hair disheveled.

But she froze as soon as she opened the door.

"You... Why are you here again?”

If she remembered it correctly, this guy had just returned to Beilve Cityyesterday afternoon.

Elijah had an exhausted look on his face as he said, "Can I come in andrest for a while?"

"Oh, come in then!" Cordelia stepped aside and let him in.

She didn't notice that from the moment Elijah stepped into her room,and he looked around as if searching for something.

After he saw that there were no signs of any man having been inCordelia's room, his tense nerves relaxed.

While taking off his suit jacket, Elijah said, "I came here to explain inperson.”

Cordelia paused in her steps as she was heading towards the bathroomand turned to him in confusion. "Explain what?"

"About Daiss," Elijah said earnestly.

Cordelia thought, "It was Daisy, not Daiss."

Cordelia understood but still couldn't help but wonder. "Couldn't youhave just called me? Did you have to fly over here in person?"

"You turned off your phone. I tried calling you for a long time butcouldn't reach you, so I decided to fly over and see you directly," Elijahsaid, getting up and pacing in front of her.

Cordelia had just woken up without any makeup on, and her hair wasstill messy and fluffy, making her look much younger, like a girl ofeighteen or nineteen

It reminded Elijah of how she looked when he flirted with her thatdrunken night.

Although the memories were not so clear, the feeling at that time wasstill fresh in his mind.

Seeing Elijah staring at her, Cordelia's slightly confused mind graduallycleared up.

"Um, you should rest for a while. I'll go take a shower,” Cordelia said,obviously wanting to escape.

Elijah quickly grabbed her arm

"Cordie, what are you panicking for? I won't do anything to you," hesaid with a tired smile.

Looking at Elijah’s exhausted smile, Cordelia slapped away his handwith a stern expression. "I think you won't dare!"

With that, she escaped into the bathroom

Elijah chuckled lightly, strolled back to the bedside, thought for amoment, and didn't dare touch her bed. Instead, he sat on a nearbychair and closed his eyes to rest.

When Cordelia came out of the bathroom, she thought Elijah had fallenasleep, so she took a blanket and walked over.

"I don't know if you're tired from running around, but you lookexhausted,” Cordelia muttered as she covered him with the blanket.As she looked up, she froze.

It turned out this man hadn't slept. He was looking at her with focusedeyes.

"You're not sleeping? Well, why don't you go back to the hotel tosleep?” Cordelia suggested

Elijah gently held her hand and kissed it by his lips, saying, "I want tosleep in your bed."
