Chapter 74

Chapter 74 I Would Choose Neither of You

Cordelia looked at Elijah in confusion and asked him with her

eyes.

There was anger in Elijah’s eyes, and he warned in a low voice, “Jacob,

you are drunk. Let's stop it here!”

Cordelia knew that Jacob was indeed drunk. After all, he was usually

polite and gentle.

Jacob said, “You know more clearly than anyone that what I said is the

truth.”

Jacob suddenly looked at Cordelia with reddish eyes. “Cordelia, do you

know? My grandma told me that I liked you first, but Elijah’s

grandmother talked with your grandmother about the engagement

first.

“Later, my grandma also talked with your grandmother.

Because it was only a verbal agreement, they finally decided that when

you grew up, you would marry whomever you liked. It was the Hansen

family that snatched you away shamelessly!”

Cordelia was aware that Jacob didn’t really like her. He just regarded

her as a toy and wanted to compete with Elijah.

Jacob still wanted to speak, but Cordelia interrupted him coldly,

“Jacob, don't make trouble anymore. Since you can't change the fact,

why bother to mention the past?”

Jacob looked at Cordelia in astonishment. His lips trembled, and his

eyes were full of sadness.

“You also said that what the elders meant was that I could marry

whoever I like.” Cordelia looked at Jacob without any emotion in her

eyes.

This was a tactful reminder and refusal, and Cordelia hoped Jacob could

realize it.

As Elijah quietly looked at Cordelia“s side face, his eyes became more

passionate.

Jacob supported his forehead, and his figure shook slightly.

In a red dress, Elissa stepped forward at this time. She put her arms

around Jacob's waist and supported him.

She said, “Jacob, you're drunk. I'll take you home.”

Elissa’s voice was soft and charming, which was attractive to

men.

As Jacob smiled, he put his arms around Elissa’s shoulders and

staggered towards the outside.

It wasn't until this moment that Cordelia felt that Elijah had held her

hand tightly.

Cordelia looked down subconsciously, feeling a little dazed.

After everyone left, Elijah turned over her body and lowered his head to

kiss her, but Cordelia turned her face away.

Elijah was stunned.

Cordelia’s voice was soft, but the words she spoke pierced through

Elijah’s body like a sharp sword.

She said, “If I were given a chance to choose again now, I would choose

neither of you!”

After speaking, Cordelia coldly withdrew her hand from Elijah’s palm.

She turned around and left the box.

Elijah stared blankly at her back and muttered to himself, “You want to

marry Eason, right?”

Unfortunately, she had no chance to choose again.

An earth-shattering sound came from the box, and the glassware

shattered to the ground.

Since that day, they never had sex again.

Elijah would still go back to the bedroom to sleep, but he would work

in the study late every day. Usually, he would come back after Cordelia

had gone to sleep, and he would leave early the next morning.

The two would talk occasionally, but they only talked when it

was necessary.

Cordelia didn't know what Elijah thought, but she thought this kind of

life was quite boring.

Imogen finally appeared that day. She looked much thinner, as if she

just recovered from a serious illness.

Cordelia and Imogen were eating by the window of the

restaurant.

“Have you really broken up?” Cordelia asked worriedly.
