Chapter 371 Do You Want to Die

Elijah didn't say much to William when they arrived at William's home.

They hadn't seen each other for many years.

William was regretful that he hadn't attended Gabe's funeral. He

became solemn when he learned that Elijah wanted to ask him about

something important.

"Mr. Lawson, I want to know what happened between my father and

Mia."

William was stunned. Then, his eyes became brooding.

"Mia..." William said the name and fell into deep thought.

"I would like to know if my father used to be in love with her," Elijah

said more bluntly and asked about the key points.

"Yes." William nodded in affirmation.

"Mrs. Mia Holland said my father violated her. Is that true?" Elijah asked

expressionlessly.

William was stunned. Then, he nodded. "That's indeed what happened.”

Elijah was heartbroken.

William told Elijah about what had happened when they studied

together and started their businesses.

Cordelia knew William's affirmation had shattered Elijah’s expectations.

It could be seen from his expressionless face that he must be

uncomfortable.

After they left, William picked up the phone and dialed a number.

"I have given the Hansen family a positive answer and fulfilled my

promise. Please don't bother me again.”

After saying that, he hung up the phone before the one on the other of

the line could speak and blocked the number he had dialed.

On the way back, Cordelia felt Elijah's depression.

She took the initiative to twine her arms around Elijah’s waist. She

hugged and comforted him. "It all happened in the past. No matter

what the process was, the result will not change.”

Regardless of whether the truth was what Mia said, whether Gabe had

violated her, or whether they had a consensual relationship, Eason was

Gabe's son. It was a fact that could not be changed.

Elijah hugged Cordelia and twitched his mouth. "Cordelia, I have always

been conservative. Regarding relationships, I hope to spend my life with

only one person.”

Cordelia was stunned.

Few men could take the initiative to express that kind of thought.

At least, she had never heard of it from another man.

Elijah continued, "Actually, it stems from my family education. My

grandfather was loyal to my grandma, and my father was loyal to my

mother.”

Cordelia raised her eyebrow and looked at Elijah. "If you had married

another woman, you would be loyal to her, wouldn't you?"

Although Elijah was not in a good mood, he knew how to deal with

such a dangerous question.

"Yes, I will be loyal to her, but I don't know if I will fall in love with her.

After all, I am picky,” Elijah said solemnly.

Cordelia twitched her mouth and was satisfied with the answer.

Back at the hotel, Elijah remained quiet and smoke by the window.

Cordelia came to accompany him after finishing her work. She

immediately snatched the cigarette from Elijah’s hand when she saw

the ashtray.

"Do you want to die?”

Elijah was stunned. He took her hand and said gloomily, "Cordie, my

fingers and lips are lonely too.”

Cordelia was speechless.

Suddenly, Elijah pulled her into his arms and lowered his head to kiss

her. At the same time, he reached out to her nightgown.
