Chapter 422 J's Arrival

That evening, Elijah brought Ben back to his house, and the two of

them got drunk in the living room.

"If 1 had been less suspicious of her and proposed to her directly, would

she still have run away?"

Ben was drunk, and there was a slight blush on his handsome cheeks.

Although Elijah knew it was too late to say anything now, he still

seriously considered this question.

"After you propose to her, go to City Hall the next morning, and she

won't run away."

Ben raised an eyebrow. "So hasty? Don't we need a prenuptial

agreement?”

Elijah sneered, "It's already good enough if she's willing to marry you.

You're thinking too much.”

Ben paused momentarily, then said, "When did I become so passive?”

In the past, wasn't it always Imogen who took the initiative to please

him?

Elijah knew it in his heart, but he didn't expose it.

"Elijah, why are you so calm? Aren't you worried at all?" Ben's head was

spinning as he tried to look at Elijah.

"If I were really that calm, I wouldn't be drinking with you. Just the night

before yesterday, Cordelia stayed at my place and played the piano for

me."

As Elijah spoke, his gaze drifted towards her bedroom.

He had locked that bedroom, and no one was allowed in without his

permission.

Suddenly, his shoulder was tapped.

Elijah snapped out of his thoughts and saw Ben's drunken face

appearing beside him. "It's all because of me, bro. Cordelia must have

run away with Imogen.”

"I think so. We were so good the last night. She was willing to kiss me in

front of the piano.” Elijah said with a distant gaze.

Maybe this sentence ignited Ben's competitiveness, and he said,

"Imogen was very obedient that night, letting me kiss her casually and

even let me listen to her stomach.”

Elijah regained his composure and looked at him coldly, saying, "So

what? She still ran away, didn't she?”

Ben lay on the sofa and said, "Even if it costs me everything, I will bring

Imogen back and marry her!"

"Not bad. Quite ambitious,” Elijah said expressionlessly.

Elijah didn't feel angry at all about Cordelia leaving without saying a

word. He just felt empty inside because he had also disappeared

suddenly before.

Later, he found out that Cordelia had been looking for him all day. And

she only stopped when she knew why he disappeared.

So, was she retaliating against him this time?

Since arriving abroad, Cordelia had been very cautious about

contacting people in her home country, including Milo.

Imogen's belly had been growing every day, and later, it became

difficult for her to get up and turn over, so she stayed in bed all day

long.

One evening, when someone rang the doorbell, Cordelia was watching

dramas with Imogen in the room.

"Did you order food?" Imogen curiously asked.

"No, maybe it's my Bray. Let me go and check.”

Cordelia got up and came to the door. The peephole showed a blond

and blue-eyed girl standing outside.

Cordelia opened the door.

"May I ask if you are..."

"Leno, I am Silva.”

She spoke Cordelia’s mother tongue fluently.

Cordelia raised an eyebrow and said, "Did Imogen contact you?"

"Yes, she said your house has an empty room and asked me to move in

and live with you.” The girl said as she entered with her luggage.

Cordelia was stunned for a moment, then shouted into the room,

"Imogen, why didn't you discuss this with me before contacting Silva?"

Imogen, feeling guilty inside the room, didn't dare to speak. She

mentioned it casually during her chat with Silva and didn't expect Silva

actually to come.

She was indeed a friend.
