Chapter 308 She's Right for You
Cordelia didn't expect Imogen to have such a big reaction. She laughed and said, "I know she is not a
good person. I just didn't expect that she came to provoke me today."
"She's very clever. On the one hand, Elijah will think she is nice. On the other hand, she made you feel
uncomfortable. She killed two birds with one stone," Imogen said disdainfully.
Cordelia smiled faintly. "I indeed feel uncomfortable. She told me that although Elijah had a deal with
her, he treated her well."
"This is how the marriage for convenience works. Even if they have no feelings for each other, they
must be together for common interests. Over time, they will develop feelings," said Imogen.
As Imogen said that, she was suddenly startled, looked at Cordelia apologetically, and said, "I'm talking
about Ben and me!"
Cordelia shook her head nonchalantly. After all, Imogen's words were true.
However, the relationship generated by the binding of interests was not strong and would fall apart at
the slightest disturbance.
"Cordelia, what are you going to do next?" Imogen asked with concern.
"The work in Grant City is about to end, and I will go to Bloom City later," Cordelia said casually.
"I want to go with you." Imogen fiddled with her fingers, looking pitiful.
Cordelia shook her head, saying, "You stay in Grant City before giving birth, and don't run around. Ben
can't stretch his hands to Grant City in the short term. But Bloom City is Elijah's territory, and it's not
safe."
Imogen sighed. "Okay. Then you have to chat with me more. Otherwise, I will be so bored."
"Okay."
Early the next morning, Cordelia met Elijah on the way to Jayden's manor.
He stopped the car and caught up with Cordelia.
"Cordelia, we need to talk."
"No need." Cordelia continued walking forward.
Suddenly, Elijah grabbed her and pulled her into his arms.
Cordelia didn't struggle. She knew it was useless because Elijah would not let her go.
So, she allowed Elijah to hold her. He asked very fast, "Cordelia, why didn't you answer my phone
yesterday?"
Cordelia remained indifferent and said nothing.
"Cordelia..."
"You men are very interesting," Cordelia said sarcastically, "You want everything. Why don't you just
reach the stars?"
"I can resolve the matter of the Hansen family and the Kallis family soon. The engagement is just a
temporary stop-gap measure," Elijah explained in a gentle tone.
"What does it have to do with me?" Cordelia's tone was cold and almost mean. "Why should I keep
waiting for you? Are you worth it?"
In Elijah's eyes flashed astonishment. "Cordelia, is this what you call liking?"
"Like?" Cordelia chuckled, "I like the man who is willing to trust me wholeheartedly, give me security,
and go through whatever happens with me. You don't fit any of them."
"Then who fits? Eason?" Elijah asked.
Cordelia thought seriously and said, "I need to get along with this person before I know this. Thank you ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .
for the reminder."
"Cordelia!"
A flame instantly rose in Elijah's heart. He was like a cat whose tail had been stepped on, and he
immediately exploded.
Cordelia waved her hand and said, "You know whether you want to take any chances. There is no such
thing as a secret. You secretly got engaged to another woman. What position did you put me in?
"Did you think I would forgive and wait for you if you asked Clare to explain to me? Elijah, you are too
naive.
"On the contrary, I think Clare is good. She is perfect for being your wife. Most importantly, she is willing
to do everything for you unconditionally. This affection is very touching.
"But I can't. I'm selfish and self-centered, and I can't understand you. So, I hope you will stop bothering
me. Goodbye."
After speaking, Cordelia pushed him away, turned around, and left.
Elijah looked at her back in astonishment, anger gradually creeping into his eyes.
He took out his phone and made a call.
