Chapter 440 Only Cordelia

Cordelia was really annoyed.

Kelly seemed really infatuated with Elijah. It was so much that she

probably would never give up on him, no matter what he did to her.

Cordelia also noticed how hard Elijah was trying to prove his loyalty by

drawing a line between himself and other women in front of her.

Cordelia felt exhausted just looking at it.

Elijah pulled the car door in a bid to open it, but to no avail. Knowing

that Cordelia was planning to leave alone, he did not pester her any

longer.

However, the look Cordelia gave him before leaving made him feel

flustered.

It was a look of disregard for him and Kelly.

The woman next to Elijah continued to chatter as Cordelia's car

gradually disappeared

"Elijah, she doesn't really like you at all. If she really cared about you,

would she have bought you some random junk for breakfast?”

Elijah looked away. Without even looking at Kelly, he warned, "From

now on, never let me see you again unless you want to lose everything

you've got now."

The tearful Kelly held his arm tightly as he walked back continuously.

"Elijah, do you really want to treat me this way because of that old

woman? I really love you, she doesn't... Ah!"

Before Kelly could finish speaking, she had already been thrown to the

ground.

Looking down at her condescendingly, Elijah said, "You can just tell me

if you are tired of living. I'd be happy to grant you your death wish!"

Kelly looked at the austere Elijah in horror as if she had seen Hades

from hell.

"Remember, if you disrespect my girlfriend again, the next thing I step

on will be your face!"

Kelly lay on the cold, hard ground, unable to stand up for a long time.

It was as if she had just crossed the gate of hell, where her life and

death were in Elijah's hands.

However, she refused to accept fate!

Over the past two years, she had always accompanied Elijah and looked

after him while Cordelia was having the time of her life elsewhere.

Kelly thought, "Why did that old woman snatch Elijah away as soon as I

came back? Why?"

The more Kelly thought about it, the angrier she became. Her beautiful

face was distorted by jealousy, and it became extremely hideous.

After Cordelia finished her errands at the Undernet, she headed back to

the Maple Villa instead of Elijah’s place.

She boiled some soup with herbs and hired a delivery rider to send it to

Elijah.

Afterward, she took a soothing bath and prepared to make herself a

late-night snack.

When she finally went downstairs, she saw a man seated in the living

room.

"Mr. Hansen, I don't think it's a good idea to come uninvited without

knocking,” Cordelia said calmly as she made her way downstairs.

Elijah turned his head to look at her with a tender gaze in his eyes. "Let

me explain to you. Otherwise, I won't be able to sleep.”

"That's not necessary. Have you eaten the food?" Cordelia walked to

the kitchen and asked indifferently.

He knew she wouldn't be bothered.

Elijah got up and caught up to her. "I have."

After thinking for a while, he said again, "Cordelia, there is nothing

serious with my gut. Otherwise, you would have noticed it when you

treated me, wouldn't you?"

Cordelia said sternly, "I knew you had gastrointestinal problems, but I

didn’t think you would be hospitalized for them. It shows that you don't

take your health seriously.”

However, Cordelia could roughly understand Elijah’s plight. In order to

develop his career, he left the comfort zone of Beilve City for Grant City

alone. It was his diligence and hard work that contributed to his rapid

rise.

As a result of working day and night for such a long time, his health

deteriorated into what it was now.

With his wealth and career, he could slack off for several lifetimes, even

if he retired and did nothing. Even so, he continued to work hard to

expand his business territory.

After all, he clearly still couldn't let go of the Hansen family's affairs. He

was still fighting for something.

While Cordelia’s thoughts were running through her mind, Elijah

suddenly hugged Cordelia from behind and said, "I've been good.

While you weren't around, I was alone all the time.”

He had never crossed the line with anyone of the opposite sex, not

even in his imagination.

Even in his dreams, Cordelia was the only woman who appeared!
