Chapter 89 The Divorce

Cordelia was stunned and then lowered her gaze. “Stop playing around,

Elijah. Don't keep deceiving yourself. It's pointless.”

Elijah loved Eva so much, yet he had endured it to maintain this

marriage. What was the point of it all? Cordelia felt tired of him.

Elijah arched an eyebrow. He didn't know when he had deceived

himself.

It turned out that he had been deceiving himself all along in Cordelia’s

eyes.

Indeed, he had been deceived by Cordelia’s virtuous appearance over

these three years. She had long wanted to elope with Eason. He had

been the one deceiving himself.

Elijah thought he must have gone mad that he could have allowed

himself to be trampled upon by Cordelia.

Elijah picked up the pen and quickly signed his name on the divorce

agreement, slamming the pen down heavily on the desk in front of

him.

Cordelia put away the agreement, stood up, and said, “Let's go. We

must go back home to get our identifications and head to the

Courthouse.”

“Alright! Let's do it today!” Elijah stormed off, leaving Milo’s

yard in a huff.

Milo squinted at Elijah’s departing figure with a peculiar glint in his

eyes.

He then turned his gaze to Cordelia, who had reddened eyes. He patted

her shoulder and said, “Cordelia, I'll find someone better for you after

your divorce.”

Cordelia nodded vigorously, forcing back her tears with determination.

It was strange. This should be a moment of great joy, but she just

couldn't help crying!

“Cordelia, should I go with you?” Eason weighed his words for a

moment before speaking, still concerned.

“Yes, let Eason go with you. Just in case Elijah tries anything funny!”

Milo said immediately.

Cordelia shook her head. “No need. I can go by myself.”

The road ahead was something she had to walk alone. She might as

well start now.

Cordelia composed herself and walked out of Milo's yard.

Elijah was sitting in the car, staring at Cordelia.

When she got in, Elijah sarcastically said, “I thought you might have

your brother accompany you.”

“Elijah, why do you always involve other people in our matters? If that's

the case, I wonder if I should have the right to know how much money

you're spending on Miss Lewis. Shouldn't I have a say in the disposal?”

Cordelia stared at him coldly, unyielding.

Elijah was taken aback for a moment, and then his gaze grew even

darker. “You're quite skilled at implicating others. That's a perfect way

to shift blame. Well done.”

Cordelia ignored him. When the car entered the Maple Villa, she left

and went inside to get her documents.

When she came down from upstairs and saw Elijah standing at the door

empty-handed, she quickly checked the time and urged, “Hurry up and

get your identification. The Courthouse will close soon.”

“What does it matter if they close? We can go tomorrow morning. Does

it really make a difference? You've been pretending for three years, and

one more day shouldn't matter, right?” Elijah smirked.

Cordelia glared at him and said, “Elijah, it's pointless.”

Elijah approached slowly, cupping her face and looking at her seriously.

“Babe, think again. Are you really going to be so cruel to me?”

His tone carried a hint of grievance, and he looked at Cordelia like a

dog abandoned by its owner.

Cordelia felt her heart tightened for a moment. If Elijah had treated her

with such tenderness from the beginning, she would not have gradually

grown distant.

Cordelia would have wholeheartedly cared for him if they had been

together well from the start.

Regrettably, the belated affection was as worthless as nothing.

“Let's go!” Cordelia lifted her hand, trying to push Elijah away.

However, Elijah suddenly tightened his grip on her hand and placed it

against his chest. “Babe, it hurts right here.”

While saying that, Elijah lowered his head and locked Cordelia’s lips...
