Chapter 335 You Don't Like Me?

Having driven Clare away, Cordelia invited Elijah into the house.

This was the first time Cordelia had invited Elijah into the villa since she

moved in.

Drinking the coffee which she brewed herself, Elijah felt as if his soul

had drifted away, feeling dizzy.

The torment he had endured during this time felt like he had lived

through a long century.

So, at this moment, when they were sitting together, even if they were

just quietly sipping coffee, it felt precious to him.

After a while, Cordelia cleared her throat, breaking the silence in the

room.

"You came to see me. Is there something you need?" she asked.

Elijah leaned back on the sofa and then said, "I came to see you. These

past few days have been too busy, and I couldn't find the time to visit

you."

"You called off your engagement. Didn't your grandfather use any

family disciplinary measures on you?" Cordelia asked curiously.

"He knows he only has a few good years left. My father's health hasn't

been great lately, and now the entire Hansen Group relies on me. So,

he can only turn a blind eye to it," Elijah explained.

Upon hearing Elijah's words, Cordelia couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

After this turmoil, the Hansen Group suffered significant damage,

making Gideon gradually realize the truth.

If it weren't for Elijah, he might have become the scapegoat for the

entire family.

"But my grandfather still doesn't want to let go of his power," Elijah

added.

Cordelia smiled faintly and said, "You can't let go of your family either,

can you?"

To let go, to change everything now, who could do it so easily?

Elijah hesitated for a moment and then explained seriously, "Cordelia, if

my parents hadn't had a divorce, I really could have left the Hansen

family.”

Cordelia shook her head. "You wouldn't have."

Otherwise, he wouldn't have become engaged to another woman and

disregarded her feelings.

In his heart, his family was still more important than anything else.

And he didn't have the courage to give up everything he had now.

"Cordelia, are you disappointed in me?" Elijah suddenly asked, his eyes

filled with anxiety.

Cordelia hesitated for a moment and then smiled, "No. I was just

thinking of having a romantic relationship with you to fulfill my teenage

dreams. Although that love affair was brief, I'm content. I have no

regrets!”

Elijah stared at her, and he stood up, walking towards her. Suddenly, he

knelt in front of her.

"Cordelia, I mean it. In my heart, only you deserve to be my wife. No

one else, no one else deserves it!"

Elijah’s tone was exceptionally sincere.

However, Cordelia had become immune to such words.

When Elijah had pretended to be engaged to Clare, Cordelia had seen

their photos, and they didn't look mismatched.

In this world, everyone could live without someone else and no one

who was indispensable, right?

"But, Elijah, now I no longer have the faith to take risks with you.”

Cordelia said calmly, looking at him without the admiration she once

had.

Elijah looked down. He slowly clenched the hand, then relaxed. His eyes

were slightly red.

"You don't like me?"

He looked up, gazing deeply into Cordelia's beautiful eyes.

At this moment, his heart was pounding like never before, making his

face pale. He was almost suffocating.
