Chapter 418 Elijah's Call

The room fell into silence.

Ben's gaze wandered

But he was actually focused on his hearing, waiting for Elijah's message.

"Okay, thank you, Mr. Gudwin. Sorry to bother you.”

Shortly after, Elijah hung up the phone and casually picked up a glass of

wine.

"Just wait!"

Ben said, "Is this big shot in Grant City still infatuated with your

mother?"

"I'm not sure about their relationship.” Elijah casually steered the

conversation back. "What are your plans if there's something wrong

with Imogen’s pregnancy?”

"Of course, I'll bring her back!" Ben clenched his teeth fiercely.

"Alright, I'll let you know as soon as I have any updates.”

At the airport hotel in Grant City, urgent beeps sounded.

With her pregnant belly, Imogen looked at Cordelia’s phone and said,

"Cordelia, Elijah’s calling.”

Cordelia was busy with her skincare routine. As both hands were

occupied, she gestured for Imogen to put it on speakerphone.

Imogen nodded and immediately did as she was told.

Soon, Elijah's deep and smiling voice came through the speaker.

Imogen glanced at Cordelia and mouthed. "So sexy.”

Cordelia rolled her eyes and then casually chatted with Elijah.

Suddenly, Elijah said, "Cordelia, are you keeping something from me?"

Cordelia paused and asked, "Oh? You already know?"

Imogen was shocked and worried.

Could it be that Elijah found out about their plan to run away?

Was Cordelia planning on confessing?

So, Imogen waved her hands on the side as if saying, "Look at me,

Cordelia, look at me! Don't confess! Don't!"

Cordelia chuckled, "I've come to Grant City, and I'm with Imogen.”

Elijah paused and then said, "I see.”

Imogen immediately spoke up, "Hi, Elijah, how are you?"

"Hello."

Perhaps hearing someone next to Cordelia, Elijah didn't talk much with

her.

After hanging up the phone, Imogen finally breathed a sigh of relief. "I

was so scared. I thought he knew about our plan to run away."

"Adam can handle things. Just relax.” Cordelia remained composed.

This was the advantage of not being in the same city. Even if they had

long arms, the information would still be delayed. By the time they

realized it, Cordelia had already successfully moved Imogen.

"Anyway, Imogen, you are the most important thing in my life right

now. I can set aside my work. I must ensure your safe delivery and the

safety of the children.” Cordelia said seriously.

Imogen's eyes welled up. "You're such a good friend!"

She wanted to hug Cordelia, but considering her large size, she decided

to give it up.

So she blew a kiss to Cordelia, feeling it wasn't enough, and then

winked.

Cordelia didn't know what to say.

Cordelia couldn't stand it and decided to go to sleep!

The next morning, Eason and Adam came to pick them up at the

airport.

Adam drove, Eason sat in the passenger seat, and Cordelia and Imogen

sat in the back seat with all the luggage stuffed in the trunk.

Along the way, Adam wouldn't stop talking.

"Imogen, now that you're leaving, I feel like my house is empty."

Imogen smiled and said, "Adam, you should find a girlfriend. When I'm

gone, you won't have any worries and can freely bring girls home."
