Chapter 173 Agreed to Divorce
"Yeah, he brought twenty or thirty bodyguards." Cordelia stared at the book but couldn't focus herself
on it at all.
"So, you surrendered?" Elijah said in a cold tone with his eyes fixed on her.
Cordelia was amused. "No, you got me wrong. No one forced me. Elijah, let's get a divorce!"
Elijah leaned back in the chair like a deflated balloon, as if he had been hanging in there before.
His eyes turned red and were filled with affection and reluctance. "Cordelia, I don't want to."
Cordelia felt distressed when hearing his tone.
She took a deep breath, tried to calm her tone, and did not look at him.
"Your grandma's wish has been fulfilled, and I can't get pregnant again. Now, I have no use for your
family."
She told the truth in a calm tone.
Elijah got up, stood in front of her, and stared at her. "Cordelia, I don't want to. I don't want to divorce
you."
Cordelia shook her head. "You just don't want to give in to your family. But Elijah, I didn't do anything
wrong, right?"
Elijah knelt on one knee on the edge of the bed and held Cordelia's shoulder, forcing her to look at him.
The moment he looked into her eyes, and her heart skipped a beat.
She also had deep doubts at the same time.
She couldn't help but wonder if Elijah had gotten serious about their marriage.
Could it be he fell in love with her while they were acting?
"Cordelia, are you desperate to leave me?" Elijah stared at her earnestly and asked.
"Why don't you understand? It's not a question of whether I want it or not, and it's not up to you."
Cordelia's eyes revealed deep fatigue. NôvelDrama.Org owns this text.
She was tired and got sick of the torture, so she hoped they could end their marriage soon.
Elijah still didn't give up and said, "As long as you don't want to, we won't separate. Tell me you don't
want to, okay? I like..."
"Let's get a divorce, Elijah."
Cordelia interrupted him, not wanting to waste time on him anymore.
She knew well that Elijah was not attached to this marriage but didn't want to be manipulated by his
family again.
Cordelia had always been regarded as a tool for bearing children, and so did Elijah.
They were both young and were no match for the family ruler.
In fact, Cordelia sympathized with Elijah very much.
She would be completely relieved after they divorced, but Elijah had to follow the family's arrangement
to marry another woman, get married, have a child...
He was born loaded. While enjoying the wealth and glory brought to him by his family, he also had to
shoulder the burdens given to him by his family. He had no choice at all.
As his sex partner, Cordelia felt there was no reason for her to take risks with him.
Elijah was stunned.
His eyes quickly dimmed like a lamp that had run out of oil with no more light.
He smiled bitterly, withdrew his arms, and sat back on the chair in frustration.
After a long while, he calmed down a lot.
He said with difficulty, "Okay."
Cordelia smiled. "I'm glad you can understand me. Elijah, I hope you can be happy every day."
