Chapter 67

Chapter 67 So Boring

Things could change unpredictably. Later on, they did get married, but

Elijah didn't like her at all.

Now, this marriage that was barely hanging on truly disappointed the

beautiful expectations of the two grandmothers back then.

At this moment, Jacob knocked on the door and walked in.

“Cordelia, I'm really sorry. I've talked to Lamia, and she won't reveal

what happened today. You can rest assured,” Jacob said, understanding

Cordelia’s predicament.

Cordelia nodded. After learning more about their childhood

connections, her attitude toward Jacob had softened slightly.

After leaving Mireya’s room, she finally completed her mission. Cordelia

prepared to get changed and leave.

However, Lamia suddenly rushed up to her, speaking in a hushed voice,

“Cordelia, I'm really sorry. I misunderstood you earlier.”

Cordelia was quite surprised. She looked at Lamia, who had always

been arrogant. Then she replied coolly, “When I saw you carlier, you

looked like you wanted to hit me.”

Lamia felt guilty. “They said that Jacob was your sugar daddy,

so I thought...”

Cordelia suddenly burst into laughter. Lamia was so stupid that she

didn’t even know what to say.

“What's wrong with you? Why do you believe that Jacob is my sugar

daddy? I'm married! Do you think he's that creepy?”

Lamia suddenly realized. “That's right. Jacob doesn't even like me, so

how could he be interested in you?”

Cordelia rolled her eyes at Lamia. “Even if I were in need of a sugar

daddy, I'd choose your brother to support me. He's handsome, wealthy,

has a good reputation, and is generous in all aspects. He could satisfy

me in every way..."

Suddenly, she heard a low chuckle from a man, causing Cordelia

to freeze in her tracks.

“It seems like you have a very high opinion of me.”

Elijah’s low voice suddenly sounded, but it seemed to come from

Lamia.

Cordelia“s eyes widened instantly. “Lamia, are you on the phone with

your brother?”

Lamia grinned, “Yeah. It was my brother who asked me to explain things

to you. He said he wanted me to apologize to you in person.”

Cordelia’s face turned pale.

Lamia was truly a troublemaker.

Cordelia twitched her mouth, barely managing to maintain her

composure. She said sternly, “Hang it up now!”

“Oh, okay.”

When Cordelia changed her clothes and left the Taylor Manor, Elijah’s

car was waiting at the door.

The back door opened from the inside, and he gestured for her to get

in. “Come on.”

Cordelia pursed her lips, recalling that this man used to say the same

thing every night when they were in bed. His tone and words were

exactly the same.

Lately, she had indeed been indulging in her desires excessively, which

was affecting even her, someone who had always been dignified,

causing her mind to be filled with inappropriate thoughts.

She climbed into the car, closed the door, and sat down. Then, Elijah

pulled her into his arms and kissed her lips.

“I missed you, Babe,” the man’s voice was husky, like a whispered

endearment between lovers.

Cordelia couldn't catch her breath, and her heart raced as she

clutched the leather seat beneath her.

After a while, the man had enough of tasting her, so he slowly pulled

away from her lips. “I didn’t expect my wife to be so talented.”

Cordelia pouted. “I'm flattered.”

Elijah pinched her nose, his tone indulgent. “You're so smart, so why

were you so boring back then?”

So... boring?

Cordelia's beautiful eyes widened in astonishment.
