Wake Up! You’re My Ex Now (Cordelia)
Chapter 44

Chapter 44 You Are Not Allowed to LeaveComing out of the bathroom at night, Cordelia bumped into a hug thatsmelled of alcohol.A man’s low voice came from above her head. “Babe, I miss you somuch.”Cordelia counted the days and guessed that the man might be hungryfor sex, so she said, “I'm on my period.”Elijah was taken aback, then chuckled, “Little fool.”This doting tone made her feel dazed for a while.He was realistic and heartless.Cordelia pushed him away coldly and said, “Go and take a bath!”So, the man obediently went to take a bath.Soon, finishing showering, Elijah turned off the light and went to sleep.And unexpectedly, he did not mention Eva's medical treatment.From her perspective, Cordelia didn't want to treat Eva's legs.Why should Cordelia cure Eva and give Eva more chances to scramblefor her husband?But the doctors were kind. Besides, it was Milo’s good intentions, andshe had no reason to refuse.Men were the most unreliable.She might as well follow Milos advice and strive for more benefits forherself.Suddenly, she felt Elijah turn over. He circled her from behind andmurmured like a babble, “Don’t worry. I won't move around, and I'll justhug you.While speaking, his lips touched the back of Cordelia’s neck severaltimes, causing her whole body to feel numb, as if electrified.The scorching heat from his breath sprayed on Cordelia's neck, makingher want to escape.“Elijah...” Cordelia bit her lip. Her eyes were extraordinarily bright in thedarkness.“Cordelia, how many things have you kept from me?” Elijah asked in awhisper.Cordelia’s heart was beating wildly. She had indeed revealed too manysecrets during this time.After a long time, she said coldly, “A woman with a secret is moreattractive."

.Elijah chuckled, “Okay.”He stopped asking, and gradually, his breathing became even.He fell asleep.Only then did Cordelia slowly ease her tense body, and it took a longtime before she fell into a deep sleep.For several days, Elijah only stayed at his company and home, like afamily-oriented husband.And about treating Eva, he never mentioned it again.Cordelia didn't expect him to be so calm.But after thinking about it, it might be Eva who wouldn't be willing tocooperate.It was best not to accept her treatment. And it was even better to replaceothers!That night, Cordelia and Elijah were about to go to bed when his phonerang suddenly.Cordelia glanced at the caller. It was Eva, who had been silent for a longtime.“Hello.”“Elijah, I'm having a nightmare. And I'm so scared. Can you come andaccompany me?” Eva wailed through the receiver.Elijah glanced at Cordelia at the side and said, “You ask Hazel toaccompany you, and I'm going to sleep.”Hazel was Eva's friend.Cordelia guessed they must have quarreled recently, and Elijah’sattitude towards Eva was not as nervous and doting as before.He might be using cold violence to force Eva to agree to treatment.But why did he act in front of her? She didn't want to see that, okay?“Elijah, are you still angry with me? I know I was wrong...Hearing Eva constantly acting coquettishly on the other end of thephone, Cordelia finally couldn't help it.So she leaned in front of the phone, deliberately softened her voice,and said delicately, “Honey, hurry up. You took off all my clothes. Areyou not responsible for me?”There was a dead silence on both ends of the phone for a while.
