Wake Up! You’re My Ex Now (Cordelia) novel Chapter 191

"No," Cordelia refused firmly.

Elijah choked, and his eyes filled with sadness.

So she held Cordelia's hand and handed her the umbrella.

"Well, you better go back now. See you tomorrow!" Elijah turned and walked into the rain without looking back.

He hurriedly walked, his figure desolate, with a hint of lost confidence. The raindrops fell on his head and body, adding a touch of sorrow.

Cordelia stood still, holding the umbrella, and watched his figure for a long time, and her brow always furrowed.

She was increasingly puzzled by Elijah.

Back in her little house, Cordelia made herself a serving of spaghetti and ate it. Afterward, she stared out of the window into the rainy night.

When Imogen called, the phone rang for a long time before Cordelia snapped back to reality.

"Hello, Cordelia, I heard from Ben that your hus... oh, sorry, Elijah came to see you?"

"Yes, he came to see me because he wasn't feeling well," Cordelia said lightly.

"Oh, really? That's just an excuse, right?"

"He said he had a heart problem," Cordelia said helplessly.

Imogen immediately burst into laughter, "Hahaha, he's just trying to flirt with you, Cordelia."

Cordelia was taken aback, and after realizing it, she became somewhat annoyed.

She had been fooled by Elijah again!

"Cordelia, what are you thinking now?" Imogen asked.

Cordelia said unhappily, "Imogen, I'm exhausted. I don't want any more involvement with him. I will refuse him once and for all."

Imogen, however, said meaningfully on the other end, "I'm worried that under his persistent pursuit, you may not be able to hold out for long. Besides, Elijah really likes you."

"That's impossible!" Cordelia reacted strongly and immediately denied it.

Cordelia gave him a sharp look, and a self-deprecating smile tugged at the corner of her lips. "Fine, with all the effort you've put in, if I reject you again, I won't be able to forgive myself."

Her meaning was clear. She didn't continue to reject him because she felt embarrassed, not because she was moved by him.

"Also, there's something I want to talk to you about," Cordelia said, already walking ahead.

Elijah followed behind her, looking at Cordelia's delicate figure, and in his heart, he had a faint guess about what she wanted to say.

Sure enough, after they sat down at a small restaurant, Cordelia got straight to the point.

"I won't let Eva and her friends off easily, and I won't show them mercy just because of you."

Suddenly, Elijah held her hand and said, "Cordelia, can you listen to me for a moment?"

Cordelia raised an eyebrow.

She thought, "Elijah, I knew it. You're going to disappoint me!"
