Chapter 433 Did He Threaten You

After hanging up the phone, Elijah put his cell phone into his suit pants

pocket, patting the dust on his body and walking towards the kitchen.

As soon as he entered, he smelled the firewood.

He frowned and couldn't help but say, "You'd rather suffer in a place

like this to avoid me?"

"What? Suffering? Avoiding you?" Cordelia looked at him amusedly.

"You're overthinking it. I'm just traveling around and experiencing rural

life. It's my interest and pleasure.”

"Whatever you say is right.” Elijah smiled faintly.

He shut the eloquent Cordelia with just one sentence.

If he continued to taunt, Cordelia could continue to retort.

But he suddenly changed the topic, causing Cordelia to be speechless.

For a while, they stared at each other in silence.

Only after a long time did Elijah say, "What can I do to help you?"

"What can you do?" Cordelia asked, gesturing to her entire rustic, little

kitchen.

“I'll light a fire!"

Saying that, Elijah took off his suit jacket and rolled up his sleeves

before doing it decently.

Cordelia did not expect that Elijah would quickly light the fire.

So, she made a vegetable soup according to the local tradition and

then ate it with Elijah.

Cordelia knew that she was not a good cook. However, Elijah was

probably hungry and ate two large bowls of rice.

Ordinary people could hardly imagine how a handsome guy in formal

attire sat on a stool in the yard, holding a large bowl.

But Cordelia was lucky to see it!

After dinner, Cordelia said, "Alright, it's getting late. You should leave

now!"

"I've said I'll stay in your yard today." Elijah stubbornly sat on the stool,

refusing to leave.

Cordelia frowned. "Elijah, if you insist on doing this, I can only keep

hiding from you."

"You're hiding in someone else's arms. Isn't that far enough? Where

else do you want to hide?" Elijah asked her back.

Cordelia gave him a look. "Whatever you say."

Seeing her about to leave, Elijah pulled her wrist. Without waiting for

Cordelia to get angry, Elijah suddenly asked, "Why... did you choose

Eason?"

Obviously, there were so many men in this world.

Why Eason?

For the sake of gratitude?

Cordelia was baffled.

However, she quickly recalled Eason's strange behavior when he left

and hurriedly said, "You've misunderstood.”

"Misunderstood?"

Hope ignited in Elijah's heart, but he remained expressionless on the

surface.

Cordelia solemnly said, "Eason will always be my big brother."

"Well... so? First, you took revenge on me by leaving without saying

anything, and then you took revenge on me with a fake marriage, is

that it?" Elijah looked at Cordelia coldly and asked aggressively.

"Revenge..." Cordelia was stunned.

But soon, she regained her senses again.

It turned out that Elijah had always thought that she was taking

revenge on him.

It was a beautiful misunderstanding!

However, his thought made Cordelia feel that it was inexplicably

reasonable.

"Cordelia!" Elijah waited for a long time but didn't see her retort. So he

began to panic again. "Tell me, why did you accept his ring? Did he

threaten you with a favor?”
