Chapter 117 Ambiguous

Indeed, Eason was too proper of a person and a complete workaholic.

Cordelia thought she might have overthought things.

At the moment of parting, Eason told her, "Take care of yourself.”

Watching Eason's car drive away, Cordelia gazed in that direction for a

long time.

"Eason was truly an odd person,” she thought.

Just then, Elijah walked out from the yard and stood inside the gate,

looking over.

"You're still looking even though he's gone so far? Don't want to go

home anymore, huh?"

His tone was somewhat cold and a bit sour.

Cordelia ignored him.

Seeing her indifferent expression, Elijah approached and assertively

took her hand. "Why did you come back so late?"

"I've been at the construction site the whole time.”

Elijah arched an eyebrow. "You are pregnant, so you should avoid going

to dangerous places like the construction site in the future.”

Cordelia was speechless

"Cordelia!" Elijah sounded a bit anxious. "I'm talking to you. What are

you thinking?"

Cordelia halted her steps, coldly looking at him. "How about you just tie

me to your belt?"

Elijah froze.

Cordelia pulled away from his grip, glared at him, and entered the

house ahead.

After a while, Elijah finally realized what had just happened.

It turned out Cordelia was rejecting him.

Elijah stormed into the house, and with a forceful gesture, he pinned

Cordelia against the wall.

"Cordelia, I was just concerned about you. What's your attitude?"

"Taking a leaf out of your book, ambiguous!" Cordelia chuckled.

Elijah's eyes darkened. He lowered his voice and said, "Seems like

you're getting too proud of being favored.”

Cordelia smirked, "Isn't that because I'm carrying your baby?"

After all, Elijah had never really restrained his temper when it came to

her in the past.

Elijah gritted his teeth.

The once gentle kitten seemed to be growing wilder.

"Has she become too good at disguising herself, or has she truly

changed?" He thought.

Seeing Elijah remain silent for a while with his eyes flickering, Cordelia

attempted to push him away but ended up being pulled into his

embrace.

"What's wrong? Can't I get jealous?" Elijah’'s words sounded somewhat

strained, a hint of grievance in his tone.

Cordelia couldn't see his expression right now, but when she heard his

tone, she decided to soften hers.

"You can. Go ahead and be jealous. No one's stopping you."

Elijah chuckled and lifted Cordelia in his arms. "You said it. Shall I go

ahead now?"

"Hey, you..." Cordelia was furious.

"Just teasing you. I'm carrying you upstairs,” Elijah laughed, bringing

her to the bedroom. "Let's start with a bath for you, and then I'll eat you

up."

Cordelia glared at Elijah. "This joke is getting old, isn't it?"

Elijah gently pressed Cordelia onto the bed. "Babe, I've been missing

you a lot today."

"So that's why he came home early today and waited in the yard?"

Cordelia thought.

She then frowned. “Elijah, now that we have a child. So we don't have

to make out any more, right?"

Elijah froze, taking a moment to process her words.

Afterward, he burst into laughter in anger.

"Is the intimacy between husband and wife only for procreation? Then

why use condoms?"

Cordelia averted her face, not looking at him, muttering, "Is there even

a need for that?"

"Saying one thing but meaning another. Haven't I always satisfied you?

You brute.” Elijah kissed the tip of Cordelia's nose, then her rosy lips.

"Mmm... Not now," Cordelia resisted him, resolute.

"I know." Elijah buried his head in her neck and whispered, "Haven't I

been enduring it as well?"

Cordelia thought about it, and indeed he had.

Lately, Elijah would sneak to the bathroom to satisfy himself after

teasing her.

"Cordelia, do you ever feel a little reluctant when you divorce me?"

Elijah suddenly asked.

Cordelia stiffened, and she was stunned for a moment.
