Cordelia nodded and said, "According to Sir Hansen, that is the case.”

"What? Did the old man call you?" Milo asked very alertly.

Yes

Milo squinted and stroked his goatee while remarking, "Damn it, that

old man is asking for a beating.”

Cordelia shook her head quickly and said, "Milo, you have helped me a

lot, and now, I want to do more for you."

So far, she hadn't done much for Milo.

After all, she had to learn life's lessons on her own and learn to brave

through all storms.

Milo smiled with satisfaction and said, "Cordelia, you're such a grateful

girl."

In the evening, Cordelia bade farewell to Milo.

After deliberating for a long time, she finally couldn't control herself

and went to the Maple Villa.

When she entered, Nora greeted her immediately with a smile, "Ms.

Graves, you are here."

Nora brought Cordelia into the living room, where she entertained her

like a guest, served her refreshments, and then carried the ragdoll

kitten out.

"His name is Cookie, and he is a pretty little tomcat.”

Cordelia quickly took the furry kitten from Nora's hands. When she

touched the cat, her heart was filled with a warm and fuzzy feeling.

She loved it greatly!

While Cordelia was petting the cat, Nora left for a while, and when she

reappeared, she was carrying a document envelope.

"Ms. Graves, Mr. Hansen asked me to hand this over to you.”

Cordelia freed up one hand, took the envelope and opened it, only to

be stunned.

Elijah transferred the villa to her!

"Nora, what's this..."

"Ms. Graves, I'm only responsible for handing it over to you, and I don't

know anything else,” Nora hurriedly said as if she was afraid that

Cordelia would refuse.

Cordelia smiled helplessly, and then said, "I mean, when did Elijah give

you this thing?"

"Right after Mr. Hansen recovered from his illness last time. He told me

to give this to you whenever you're here again,” Nora said honestly.

"Thank you."

Cordelia didn't refuse.

She had once turned down this house.

The reason was she had lived here alone for three years.

However, she realized that she no longer had a home after her

grandmother passed.

Moreover, she somewhat regarded this place as home, where she had

spent years. Hence, she was not repulsed by it.

Later, Cordelia left before Elijah came back.

Elijah hurried to catch up but to no avail. As soon as he entered the

house, Cordelia had already left.

Cookie rubbed itself against Elijah's feet before pointing its butt at him

again.

Stunned, Elijah leaned over and picked up the cat, only to find that it

reeked of a faint herbal scent.

Hence, he called Cordelia and spoke with a calm tone of voice.

"Why didn't you stay for a meal?"

Cordelia was silent for a while before she said, "From now on, if I want

to go back to my house, can I do it anytime?"

Sounding a little elated, Elijah said, "Of course."

Cordelia said with a smile, "Exactly, so there's no need to stay for dinner

tonight. I still have something on, and I'm going to see a very important

patient tomorrow, so I need to prepare.”

"Okay, so the same goes when you sleep?” Elijah said.

"What old rules?" Cordelia asked in puzzlement.

Elijah spoke for a while before saying, "Let Cookie sleep with you."

Cordelia immediately laughed.

"Sure!"

Elijah was extremely satisfied.

Cookie, one of his carefully meditated plans and tool for chasing his

wife, had finally come in handy.

Cookie would sleep with Cordelia, while Cordelia would sleep with him.

There was nothing wrong with that!
