Chapter 69 Coax Me Like This

“Of course, I'm serious.”

Elijah replied earnestly, taking the opportunity to tease Cordelia while

removing her clothes.

Cordelia tried to evade his hands and quickly put on Elijah’s bathrobe,

tying the belt securely to avoid any accident.

Surprisingly, the long sleeves of the bathrobe did seem somewhat

fancy.

Before long, Cordelia picked up the violin and stood straight, instantly

immersing herself into the performance.

After a simple tuning, she began playing the prelude without hesitation,

and the lively and passionate melody filled the room.

Cordelia held the bow and played passionately, occasionally glancing

up at her sole audience, smiling confidently with a glint of sharpness in

her eyes.

Elijah’s gaze, deep and intense, remained locked on the woman in front

of him. He watched her attentively, his eyes growing more profound

with each passing note.

Until the last note faded away, the lingering resonance gradually

subsided, the entire villa returned to silence.

Elijah applauded her enthusiastically, getting up and approaching her.

“Are you satisfied now?” Cordelia looked at him with a smile.

She was quite satisfied with this violin, and that was why she had

performed exceptionally well.

Elijah came up behind her, leaned in close to her ear, and encircled her

waist. “Babe, you were amazing!”

His words caused Cordelia’s face to redden from her cheeks to her

ears

“Elijah...” Cordelia called him in a soft voice.

Originally, she wanted to protest, but when the words left her lips, they

came out far more flirtatiously than intended.

Elijah leaned down and kissed her. Eventually, he lifted her and gently

placed her on the sofa.

In the midst of emotional turmoil, Cordelia heard Elijah murmur softly

by her car, “In the future, when I'm upset, just coax me like this. I like

it”

Cordelia cursed him silently. However, her body was filled with

happiness from his attentions.

The night was filled with both tenderness and passion.

The next morning, Jacob called Cordelia carly to express his

gratitude.

“Thank you so much for yesterday, Cordelia. Can I treat you to a meal?”

Jacob asked.

Cordelia shifted in bed, feeling a bit sore, and declined, “Your gratitude

is more than enough. You've already paid me a generous fee. There's

no need for a meal.”

Jacob was really generous and paid her 200 thousand dollars for her

performance. After all, Cordelia used to perform for free.

Jacob was clearly disappointed, but he didn't insist. He sincerely

thanked her once again and asked if she could chat with Mireya when

she had time. Cordelia agreed.

After hanging up the phone, Cordelia tried to go back to sleep but

couldn't.

She checked her messages and learned that Eason had arrived in Beilve

City.

She quickly called Eason and found out that he was staying in a hotel.

They decided to have a meal together.

Over lunch, they discussed some issues related to the establishment of

the research institute. With the financial

problems now resolved because of Elijah’s promise, Cordelia entrusted

Eason with the remaining responsibilities.

“Cordelia, are you free this afternoon? Would you like to accompany

me to the golf course?” Eason asked

“Sure, I'm free this afternoon,” Cordelia replied with a smile.

So, after lunch, Cordelia accompanied Eason to the golf course to meet

one of his senior colleagues, a prominent figure in the business world.

After some brief pleasantries, Brett Wilson smiled approvingly at Eason.

“Eason, it's not easy for you to persevere in the field of alternative

medicine with such dedication. You're truly promising and talented.”

Eason humbly replied, “I can't take all the credit. It's thanks to Cordelia’s

help over the years.”

Cordelia smiled at him.”

As they exchanged glances, a sharp female voice suddenly interrupted

them. “Mr. Wilson, I've missed you so much!”

Cordelia turned her head and saw Eva in a wheelchair, with Elijah

pushing her from behind.
