Chapter 440 Only Cordelia
Cordelia was really annoyed.
Kelly seemed really infatuated with Elijah. It was so much that she probably would never give up on
him, no matter what he did to her. Cordelia also noticed how hard Elijah was trying to prove his loyalty
by drawing a line between himself and other women in front of her.
Cordelia felt exhausted just looking at it.
Elijah pulled the car door in a bid to open it, but to no avail. Knowing that Cordelia was planning to
leave alone, he did not pester her any longer.
However, the look Cordelia gave him before leaving made him feel flustered. Owned by NôvelDrama.Org.
It was a look of disregard for him and Kelly.
The woman next to Elijah continued to chatter as Cordelia's car gradually disappeared.
"Elijah, she doesn't really like you at all. If she really cared about you, would she have bought you
some random junk for breakfast?"
Elijah looked away. Without even looking at Kelly, he warned, "From now on, never let me see you
again unless you want to lose everything you've got now."
The tearful Kelly held his arm tightly as he walked back continuously.
"Elijah, do you really want to treat me this way because of that old woman? I really love you, she
doesn't... Ah!"
Before Kelly could finish speaking, she had already been thrown to the ground.
Looking down at her condescendingly, Elijah said, "You can just tell me if you are tired of living. I'd be
happy to grant you your death wish!"
Kelly looked at the austere Elijah in horror as if she had seen Hades from hell.
"Remember, if you disrespect my girlfriend again, the next thing I step on will be your face!"
Kelly lay on the cold, hard ground, unable to stand up for a long time.
It was as if she had just crossed the gate of hell, where her life and death were in Elijah's hands.
However, she refused to accept fate!
Over the past two years, she had always accompanied Elijah and looked after him while Cordelia was
having the time of her life elsewhere.
Kelly thought, "Why did that old woman snatch Elijah away as soon as I came back? Why?"
The more Kelly thought about it, the angrier she became. Her beautiful face was distorted by jealousy,
and it became extremely hideous.
After Cordelia finished her errands at the Undernet, she headed back to the Maple Villa instead of
Elijah's place.
She boiled some soup with herbs and hired a delivery rider to send it to Elijah.
Afterward, she took a soothing bath and prepared to make herself a late-night snack.
When she finally went downstairs, she saw a man seated in the living room.
"Mr. Hansen, I don't think it's a good idea to come uninvited without knocking," Cordelia said calmly as
she made her way downstairs.
Elijah turned his head to look at her with a tender gaze in his eyes. "Let me explain to you. Otherwise, I
won't be able to sleep."
"That's not necessary. Have you eaten the food?" Cordelia walked to the kitchen and asked
indifferently.
He knew she wouldn't be bothered.
Elijah got up and caught up to her. "I have."
After thinking for a while, he said again, "Cordelia, there is nothing serious with my gut. Otherwise, you
would have noticed it when you treated me, wouldn't you?"
Cordelia said sternly, "I knew you had gastrointestinal problems, but I didn't think you would be
hospitalized for them. It shows that you don't take your health seriously."
However, Cordelia could roughly understand Elijah's plight. In order to develop his career, he left the
comfort zone of Beilve City for Grant City alone. It was his diligence and hard work that contributed to
his rapid rise.
As a result of working day and night for such a long time, his health deteriorated into what it was now.
With his wealth and career, he could slack off for several lifetimes, even if he retired and did nothing.
Even so, he continued to work hard to expand his business territory.
After all, he clearly still couldn't let go of the Hansen family's affairs. He was still fighting for something.
While Cordelia's thoughts were running through her mind, Elijah suddenly hugged Cordelia from behind
and said, "I've been good. While you weren't around, I was alone all the time."
He had never crossed the line with anyone of the opposite sex, not even in his imagination.
Even in his dreams, Cordelia was the only woman who appeared!
