Chapter 433 Did He Threaten You
After hanging up the phone, Elijah put his cell phone into his suit pants pocket, patting the dust on his
body and walking towards the kitchen.
As soon as he entered, he smelled the firewood.
He frowned and couldn't help but say, "You'd rather suffer in a place like this to avoid me?"
"What? Suffering? Avoiding you?" Cordelia looked at him amusedly. "You're overthinking it. I'm just
traveling around and experiencing rural life. It's my interest and pleasure."
"Whatever you say is right." Elijah smiled faintly.
He shut the eloquent Cordelia with just one sentence.
If he continued to taunt, Cordelia could continue to retort.
But he suddenly changed the topic, causing Cordelia to be speechless.
For a while, they stared at each other in silence.
Only after a long time did Elijah say, "What can I do to help you?"
"What can you do?" Cordelia asked, gesturing to her entire rustic, little kitchen.
"I'll light a fire!"
Saying that, Elijah took off his suit jacket and rolled up his sleeves before doing it decently.
Cordelia did not expect that Elijah would quickly light the fire.
So, she made a vegetable soup according to the local tradition and then ate it with Elijah.
Cordelia knew that she was not a good cook. However, Elijah was probably hungry and ate two large
bowls of rice.
Ordinary people could hardly imagine how a handsome guy in formal attire sat on a stool in the yard,
holding a large bowl.
But Cordelia was lucky to see it!
After dinner, Cordelia said, "Alright, it's getting late. You should leave now!"
"I've said I'll stay in your yard today." Elijah stubbornly sat on the stool, refusing to leave.
Cordelia frowned. "Elijah, if you insist on doing this, I can only keep hiding from you."
"You're hiding in someone else's arms. Isn't that far enough? Where else do you want to hide?" Elijah
asked her back.
Cordelia gave him a look. "Whatever you say."
Seeing her about to leave, Elijah pulled her wrist. Without waiting for Cordelia to get angry, Elijah
suddenly asked, "Why... did you choose Eason?"
Obviously, there were so many men in this world. Content is © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.
Why Eason?
For the sake of gratitude?
Cordelia was baffled.
However, she quickly recalled Eason's strange behavior when he left and hurriedly said, "You've
misunderstood."
"Misunderstood?"
Hope ignited in Elijah's heart, but he remained expressionless on the surface.
Cordelia solemnly said, "Eason will always be my big brother."
"Well... so? First, you took revenge on me by leaving without saying anything, and then you took
revenge on me with a fake marriage, is that it?" Elijah looked at Cordelia coldly and asked aggressively.
"Revenge..." Cordelia was stunned.
But soon, she regained her senses again.
It turned out that Elijah had always thought that she was taking revenge on him.
It was a beautiful misunderstanding!
However, his thought made Cordelia feel that it was inexplicably reasonable.
"Cordelia!" Elijah waited for a long time but didn't see her retort. So he began to panic again. "Tell me,
why did you accept his ring? Did he threaten you with a favor?"
