Chapter 13 Can Not Conceive

Cordelia felt sore in her heart.

She was not as lucky as Eva, a spoilt manipulative bitch.

Seeing that she was silent, Elijah asked patiently, “Why did you run

away the other day?”

“Are you suggesting that I should stay and watch you two making out?”

She almost laughed out of anger.

“It was not what it looked like.” He held his forehead, exhausted from

the conversation.

She looked at him coldly. “If you can't make up a reason, just give it up.

Eva has already told me about your relationship.”

As a matter of fact, she had been wanting to directly send them her

blessing.

But every time she tried to do so, then the words just wouldn't

come out.

Why should she do it anyway?

She was still “Mrs. Hansen”. Why should she give way to a shameless

mistress? And why blessed them?

Elijah frowned slightly. “What did she tell you?”

She said with a faint smile, “Everything between the two of you.”

Suddenly, his expression

first!”

Cordelia stopped looking at them and left. With mixed feelings in her

heart, she had long since lost the confidence to face Eva.

No matter how stubborn she was, she couldn't change the reality, nor

could she continue deceiving herself.

She was about to have a divorce with Elijah, whereas Eva, the woman he

truly loved, would get to be with him in a legitimate.

way.

Thinking of this, she felt unwilling to reconcile!

She had gone through two years of a crush on him and three years of

marriage. She had always obeyed him and his parents like a puppet,

and she almost lost herself.

However, all she got in exchange was this nonsense. How could she let

it go so easily?

Unexpectedly, Elijah called her the next day.

Seeing his number, Cordelia fell into a daze.

She had deleted his number a long time ago, but it was deeply

engraved in her heart. She couldn't forget it at all.

She answered the phone and pretended to be impatient, “What's

City, and they will have dinner tonight.”

Lamia Hansen was Elijah’s sister, also as known as Cordelia’s

sister-in-law.

Cordelia didn't feel like joining them at first, but this time. Elijah

spontaneously offered her twice the payment. Thus, she reluctantly

agreed and mocked herself for making the decision.

“I was drunk that night. Eva wanted to take care of me, but then she fell

tone.

Cordelia just listened in silence.

That night, the dining room of Hansen Villa was livelier than

ever.

Gideon Hansen sat at the end of the table, with Gabe and Edith sitting

on each side of him and the juniors a bit farther from

him.

“Baxter Hansen's daughter-in-law had another abortion. That girl's

health condition is bad.”

Gideon attached great importance to the eldest grandson. That was

why Gabe's and Baxter's families had always been competing with each

other.

Hearing his sighs, Gabe and Edith tacitly remained silent.

able to get pregnant! Isn't it napa?

Cordelia's knuckles turned pale while holding the cutlery, with a blush

on her face. She lowered her head and ate in silence.

Noticing that the air had gone awkward, Lamia still went on and said,

“Cordelia, it must have been three years since you married my brother,

right? Why haven't we heard any news from you?”

At this moment, Edith also raised her head and looked at her. “Speak

up if you feel wronged. Grandpa will back you up.”

Her aim was already hidden between the lines. She wanted Cordelia to

tell the truth, so that Gideon could stop Elijah from doing anything to

betray or hurt her.

Cordelia suddenly felt a cramping pain in her stomach. She pressed her

stomach with a frown, twisting her face with pain.

“What's wrong with you?" Elijah noticed her strangeness and asked

anxiously.

“It's okay. I feel a little uncomfortable in my stomach. I'll just go back to

my room and have a rest.” She was so painful that there was sweat all

over her forehead, and her face turned pale.

She apologized to Gideon, who presently told her with concern to rest

quickly.

As soon as she left the dining room, she heard Lamia’s voice from

behind her. “She is not in good health either. No wonder she can't even

conceive.”

Cordelia clenched her teeth. She couldn't help but tightly grip

corner of Elijah’s clothes.
