Chapter 308 She's Right for You

Cordelia didn't expect Imogen to have such a big reaction. She laughed

and said, "I know she is not a good person. I just didn't expect that she

came to provoke me today.”

"She's very clever. On the one hand, Elijah will think she is nice. On the

other hand, she made you feel uncomfortable. She killed two birds with

one stone," Imogen said disdainfully.

Cordelia smiled faintly. "I indeed feel uncomfortable. She told me that

although Elijah had a deal with her, he treated her well."

"This is how the marriage for convenience works. Even if they have no

feelings for each other, they must be together for common interests.

Over time, they will develop feelings," said Imogen.

As Imogen said that, she was suddenly startled, looked at Cordelia

apologetically, and said, "I'm talking about Ben and me!"

Cordelia shook her head nonchalantly. After all, Imogen's words were

true.

However, the relationship generated by the binding of interests was not

strong and would fall apart at the slightest disturbance.

"Cordelia, what are you going to do next?" Imogen asked with concern.

"The work in Grant City is about to end, and I will go to Bloom City

later,” Cordelia said casually.

"I want to go with you." Imogen fiddled with her fingers, looking pitiful.

Cordelia shook her head, saying, "You stay in Grant City before giving

birth, and don't run around. Ben can't stretch his hands to Grant City in

the short term. But Bloom City is Elijah’s territory, and it's not safe.”

Imogen sighed. "Okay. Then you have to chat with me more. Otherwise,

I will be so bored."

"Okay."

Early the next morning, Cordelia met Elijah on the way to Jayden's

manor.

He stopped the car and caught up with Cordelia.

"Cordelia, we need to talk."

"No need.” Cordelia continued walking forward.

Suddenly, Elijah grabbed her and pulled her into his arms.

Cordelia didn't struggle. She knew it was useless because Elijah would

not let her go.

So, she allowed Elijah to hold her. He asked very fast, "Cordelia, why

didn’t you answer my phone yesterday?"

Cordelia remained indifferent and said nothing.

"Cordelia..."

"You men are very interesting,” Cordelia said sarcastically, "You want

everything. Why don't you just reach the stars?”

"I can resolve the matter of the Hansen family and the Kallis family

soon. The engagement is just a temporary stop-gap measure,” Elijah

explained in a gentle tone.

"What does it have to do with me?" Cordelia's tone was cold and

almost mean. "Why should I keep waiting for you? Are you worth it?"

In Elijah’s eyes flashed astonishment. "Cordelia, is this what you call

liking?"

"Like?" Cordelia chuckled, "1 like the man who is willing to trust me

wholeheartedly, give me security, and go through whatever happens

with me. You don't fit any of them.”

"Then who fits? Eason?" Elijah asked.

Cordelia thought seriously and said, "I need to get along with this

person before I know this. Thank you for the reminder.”

"Cordelia!"

A flame instantly rose in Elijah's heart. He was like a cat whose tail had

been stepped on, and he immediately exploded.

Cordelia waved her hand and said, "You know whether you want to take

any chances. There is no such thing as a secret. You secretly got

engaged to another woman. What position did you put me in?

"Did you think I would forgive and wait for you if you asked Clare to

explain to me? Elijah, you are too naive.

"On the contrary, I think Clare is good. She is perfect for being your

wife. Most importantly, she is willing to do everything for you

unconditionally. This affection is very touching.

"But I can't. I'm selfish and self-centered, and I can't understand you.

So, I hope you will stop bothering me. Goodbye."

After speaking, Cordelia pushed him away, turned around, and left.

Elijah looked at her back in astonishment, anger gradually creeping into

his eyes.

He took out his phone and made a call.
