Chapter 371 Do You Want to Die
Elijah didn't say much to William when they arrived at William's home. They hadn't seen each other for
many years.
William was regretful that he hadn't attended Gabe's funeral. He became solemn when he learned that
Elijah wanted to ask him about something important.
"Mr. Lawson, I want to know what happened between my father and Mia."
William was stunned. Then, his eyes became brooding.
"Mia..." William said the name and fell into deep thought.
"I would like to know if my father used to be in love with her," Elijah said more bluntly and asked about
the key points.
"Yes." William nodded in affirmation. Owned by NôvelDrama.Org.
"Mrs. Mia Holland said my father violated her. Is that true?" Elijah asked expressionlessly.
William was stunned. Then, he nodded. "That's indeed what happened."
Elijah was heartbroken.
William told Elijah about what had happened when they studied together and started their businesses.
Cordelia knew William's affirmation had shattered Elijah's expectations. It could be seen from his
expressionless face that he must be uncomfortable.
After they left, William picked up the phone and dialed a number.
"I have given the Hansen family a positive answer and fulfilled my promise. Please don't bother me
again."
After saying that, he hung up the phone before the one on the other of the line could speak and
blocked the number he had dialed.
On the way back, Cordelia felt Elijah's depression.
She took the initiative to twine her arms around Elijah's waist. She hugged and comforted him. "It all
happened in the past. No matter what the process was, the result will not change."
Regardless of whether the truth was what Mia said, whether Gabe had violated her, or whether they
had a consensual relationship, Eason was Gabe's son. It was a fact that could not be changed.
Elijah hugged Cordelia and twitched his mouth. "Cordelia, I have always been conservative. Regarding
relationships, I hope to spend my life with only one person."
Cordelia was stunned.
Few men could take the initiative to express that kind of thought.
At least, she had never heard of it from another man.
Elijah continued, "Actually, it stems from my family education. My grandfather was loyal to my grandma,
and my father was loyal to my mother."
Cordelia raised her eyebrow and looked at Elijah. "If you had married another woman, you would be
loyal to her, wouldn't you?"
Although Elijah was not in a good mood, he knew how to deal with such a dangerous question.
"Yes, I will be loyal to her, but I don't know if I will fall in love with her. After all, I am picky," Elijah said
solemnly.
Cordelia twitched her mouth and was satisfied with the answer.
Back at the hotel, Elijah remained quiet and smoke by the window.
Cordelia came to accompany him after finishing her work. She immediately snatched the cigarette from
Elijah's hand when she saw the ashtray.
"Do you want to die?"
Elijah was stunned. He took her hand and said gloomily, "Cordie, my fingers and lips are lonely too."
Cordelia was speechless.
Suddenly, Elijah pulled her into his arms and lowered his head to kiss her. At the same time, he
reached out to her nightgown.
