Cordelia's lips curled into a confident smile as she spoke.
Elijah was stunned. Then, he rushed forward, holding her hand tightly. "Are you hurt? Is your hand okay?"
"I'm fine." Cordelia was surprised but remained calm. She said, "Elijah, I guess now you can understand why I want to stay away from you as far as possible."
Elijah's expression became gloomy. He certainly understood why.
However, it wasn't his fault, and he shouldn't be forced to suffer the consequences.
So, Elijah looked at Daisy sullenly and said, "Whoever promised to be engaged to your family will be your fiancé. I'll make things clear for you today!"
But Daisy didn't want to hear it.
Her intuition told her that what Elijah said next would only make her painful.
However, before she could refuse, Elijah said loudly, "My girlfriend, fiancée, wife, and the mother of my future child can only be Cordelia. You'd better stop thinking about it!"
Daisy was shocked.
She staggered back, and her face darkened.
Daisy couldn't figure out why they were still so close after their divorce.
This just couldn't happen!
Thinking of this, Daisy screamed and said, "No, Elijah! Your wife should be me! Me!"
Back then, she had already lost to Cordelia once, and she couldn't bear to lose to this bumpkin again.
At this moment, Cordelia was already immersed in astonishment.
She didn't expect Elijah to suddenly say such things.
Cordelia didn't know how she was feeling.
Maybe she was excited, doubtful, confused, and even a bit excited.
All in all, Cordelia had very complicated feelings.
And now, Elijah was standing right next to her, holding her hand tightly.
Not far away, the group of socialites who had surrounded her earlier was huddled in a corner of the corridor. Daisy had no idea how long they had been there.
Maybe, they saw everything that had happened just now.
At that moment, Daisy felt extremely humiliated. Her reputation in Beilve City's high society which she had tried so hard to build after returning from abroad had crumbled to dust.
"Cordelia! Why didn't you die in that car accident? I'll kill you sooner or later!" Daisy secretly cursed Cordelia ferociously.
...
Cordelia and Elijah arrived at the underground parking lot.
It was late at night, and the echoes of their footsteps sounded in the deserted parking area.
"Why, Elijah?"
Cordelia gazed down and asked softly.
She didn't know why Elijah insisted that his wife must be her. Was it because he liked her?
