Chapter 222 I'm Evie
Even after Cordelia got out of the car and left, Elijah was still in a daze.
The scent of Cordelia lingered around his nose, not fading away for a long time.
After a while, he suddenly smiled, touched his lips, and murmured, "Cordelia."
A week later, Cordelia learned the news that Liam was hospitalized.
Imogen called her and said that Daisy had come looking for her, hoping Imogen would help her to meet
Cordelia.
Cordelia immediately refused. "I won't see her."
"I think so too. That group of socialites is very scheming. I don't know what bad ideas they gave her!"
Imogen sneered.
"Yeah, I think so too," Cordelia said calmly, "By the way, Imogen, are you free tonight? Would you like
to have dinner with me?"
"Sure! Cordelia, I've been so bored lately. I feel like I'm turning into a bird being kept in a cage by Ben,"
Imogen said with annoyance.
"Oh? Are you two living together?" Cordelia asked keenly.
Imogen said angrily, "Of course not. He went abroad to cultivate feelings with his future fiancée. He is a
scumbag!"
"We can talk about it when we meet."
Coincidentally, Cordelia felt that she should inform Imogen about something.
So, the two of them made an appointment to have dinner together.
Cordelia ate steak, and Imogen ate vegetable salad.
"You know you've been fat recently, yet you suggest coming to a place like this? Are you torturing
yourself?" Cordelia grilled the steak while rolling her eyes at Imogen.
As a dancer, she must not let her weight exceed the standard. If she exceeded it, she had to lose
weight consciously.
Imogen smiled and said, "Don't you love the steak here? I'm happy just watching you eat."
With her fork on the steak, Cordelia paused and suddenly spoke seriously, "Imogen, there's something
I need to tell you."
"What's going on? You look so serious. You didn't secretly remarry Elijah, did you?" Imogen looked at
Cordelia with bright eyes.
Cordelia forced a smile. "How is that possible? Marriage and divorce are not child's play."
"Oh, that day, Ben got drunk and insisted on taking me to the City Hall to get married. We were
almost..." As Imogen spoke, her gaze dimmed.
"You stopped him, right?" Cordelia guessed and asked.
Imogen sighed and said dejectedly, "I should let him do whatever he wanted before he sobered up. I
should have gone ahead and gotten the marriage certificate with him first. But, Cordelia, I couldn't. I
have my pride!"
"You're right!" Cordelia said and clinked glasses with her.
They both finished a glass of wine in one gulp.
"In the beginning, it was him who didn't want me. It was him..." Imogen sighed, her eyes slightly red as
she tried to hide her emotions.
Seeing Imogen like this, Cordelia quickly changed the topic.
"Hey, I have something important to tell you that I've been hiding from you all along."
Upon hearing this, Imogen hurriedly composed her emotions, sniffed, and asked curiously, "What is it?"
"Well... do you know Milo Carter, the master of alternative medicine?" Cordelia asked awkwardly.
"Yes, I do! I also know that he has many apprentices, such as Lidio, Levi, Luke... Of course, all these
are nicknames, not their real names," Imogen said.
"Well... I'm Evie, the youngest and last apprentice of Mr. Carter," Cordelia said.
Imogen was stunned for a moment.
After a long time, she came back to her senses and immediately stood up from her seat. "You... you
are Evie? Did you know that you were on the news some days before?" Nôvel/Dr(a)ma.Org - Content owner.
