Chapter 121 How Much Have You Hidden From Me?

"I won't provoke others if they don't provoke me!” Imogen rolled her

eyes and conveyed through lip movement to Cordelia. "Look, he's

coming to inquire us so quickly."

Cordelia responded in a normal tone, "Just like Elijah. He always

protects other women."

Now, there was silence on the other end of the call.

Imogen pretended to be impatient. "Alright. Let's talk when I get home

if you have something to say. I'm hanging up for now."

"Imogen, are you provoking trouble again? You better give me a..."

Ben's words were cut off as Imogen hung up the call. Imogen then

angrily stuffed the meat into her mouth.

"Enough. Eat a little less. How will you go on stage if you get too fat?"

Cordelia reminded Imogen helplessly.

"Cordelia, I'm upset and feeling wronged.” Imogen feigned tears.

"Alright, alright. Don't be upset.” Cordelia patted her head. "Ben's

temperament is just like Elijah's.”

"I think so. Ben's always..." As Imogen spoke, she blushed. "He's always

punishing me in that way."

Cordelia immediately understood and joked, "Maybe you should get

pregnant too."

Imogen gave a bitter smile. "No one would care about my baby."

Cordelia fell silent. She knew that Imogen and Ben's current relationship

was somewhat unconventional, even a bit... shallow.

"Ben is a very selfish man, and he'll do whatever it takes to achieve his

goals. Elissa is probably the only person who can make him set aside

his principles.”

Cordelia patted Imogen's hand. "Alright. Let's not talk about those

disappointing people.”

By the time they finished eating, it was nearly eight o'clock.

They left the small restaurant, chatting and laughing. On the roadside,

there were two luxury cars parked.

Two men stood nearby, smoking and chatting.

"Hey, it seems like they've resolved their differences,” Cordelia

whispered.

"Of course. Ben can't afford to fall out with your husband,” Imogen

chuckled. "I think those two are true love."

At that moment, Elijah stubbed out his cigarette and approached,

wrapping his arm around Cordelia’s shoulder. "Want to leave? If not, I

can carry you."

Imogen accidentally overheard Elijah’s remark and immediately burst

out, "Whoa. That's so sweet!"

Cordelia covered her ears. "Imogen, that's enough.”

"You two are enough!” Imogen retorted, and then she dashed over to

Ben.

Cordelia got into the car and glanced back.

She happened to see Imogen hugging Ben's waist, snuggling into his

embrace.

Imogen was petite. No one could resist her when she acted cute.

Ben lowered his head to rub Imogen's head, a faint smile on his lips.

"Stop staring at them. You might twist your neck," Elijah said coolly, "Is

that so attractive?"

"Of course!" Cordelia said, going along with his words.

Elijah snorted and asked, "Who looks better, Ben or me?”

Cordelia pursed her lips and remained silent.

She thought Elijah was so childish.

"How could I have a thing for such a childish man?" She thought.

"Honey..." Elijah leaned close to Cordelia's ear, trying to coax her.

Cordelia was almost helpless by his antics and quickly said, "You're

good-looking. You're the best looking."

Elijah's arm slipped around hers, and their fingers intertwined. "That's

more like it. Did you get into a fight with someone today?"

"Did Ben tell you?" Cordelia responded with annoyance, "Is he

distorting the truth again?”

Ben was so devious. Cordelia had to be on guard against him.

"I saw it for myself," Elijah said, tilting up Cordelia's chin and leaning

closer to her lips. "Cordelia, how much have you hidden from me?"
