Chapter 199 Don't Leave Me Again
Cordelia hesitated for a moment.
During this period, she had gotten used to being alone.
Although she had no cleanliness obsession, she didn't want others sleeping in her bed.
"Just kidding." Elijah didn't wait for her to refuse and quickly found an excuse. "What happened
yesterday was my fault. I shouldn't have let my grandfather and Daiss run wild and let you
misunderstand."
Cordelia pulled her hand back from his palm and spoke seriously, "I didn't misunderstand anything.
You're single now, so you have the freedom to choose anyone. The Kingsley family is powerful. If you
marry Daisy..."
"Cordelia, spare me the sermon. I don't want to hear these things." Elijah lifted the blanket and stood
up.
Cordelia immediately fell silent.
Indeed, Elijah wasn't stupid. He naturally understood the interests involved.
He was just rebellious by nature, insisting on going against his family!
He had married Cordelia reluctantly and neglected her during their marriage.
Now that they were divorced, he insisted on being involved with his ex-wife.
In any case, he couldn't let the elders think he was submissive!
Seeing her cold expression and silence, Elijah spoke in a softer tone, "Yesterday, my grandfather
personally brought Daiss to my office. I thought we made everything clear, but she still posted those
things. I was afraid you would misunderstand."
After experiencing the terrifying incident of Cordelia's car accident, Elijah realized it wasn't enough for
him to be guilt-free in his own heart.
He had seriously underestimated the ability of those women to cause trouble.
So, when he found out about the things Daisy had posted, he anxiously tried to contact Cordelia but
couldn't reach her.
In addition, he saw the things Imogen had posted...
He immediately booked a flight and rushed over in the middle of the night.
Even when he stood outside the door and knocked, he was worried that it would be Eason who opened
it.
Fortunately, it was all just his overthinking!
Cordelia wasn't that kind of woman!
Cordelia looked at him seriously for a moment, feeling a bit flattered.
No matter what his motives were, Cordelia appreciated his efforts, going through so much trouble and
coming all this way without hesitation.
"I'm going to the pharmacy now. You can do as you please," Cordelia said.
Then, to her shock, Elijah quickly started taking off his clothes.
"Hey... you're not being polite!" Cordelia turned around and walked away, exclaiming.
"You told me to do as I please. I'll take a shower and sleep on your bed," Elijah said to Cordelia's back.
Cordelia turned her head, intending to retort, but the man had already taken off his pants. This text is property of Nô/velD/rama.Org.
In an instant, he was left with only a pair of underwear...
Cordelia quickly turned her head back and covered her face. "Elijah, you are so shameless..."
Saying that, she fled out the door.
Elijah happily took a shower and then lay on Cordelia's bed, hugging her blanket and resting his head
on her pillow.
The familiar scent surrounded his body, making him feel at ease, and he quickly fell asleep within a few
seconds.
During this period, he hadn't slept well a single night.
Even if he relied on medication to fall asleep, he was often awakened by nightmares in the middle of
the night.
But today, he fell asleep naturally and had a beautiful dream.
In the dream, Cordelia wore a white dress, standing under a lush tree with her hands behind her back
and smiling at him.
He ran towards her and tightly embraced Cordelia in his arms. "Cordelia, please don't leave me again,
okay?"
He kissed Cordelia deeply. The sensation was simply too real...
