Chapter 399 A Stupid Lie
"But Cordelia, do you really not consider Eason? It can be seen that he likes you very much and is no
worse than Elijah in all aspects," Imogen asked cautiously, fearing that Cordelia would fall out again.
"Imogen, gratitude and affection are different. Since I have someone in my heart, I can no longer think
about other people."
Cordelia had always been simple and pure when it came to feelings.
Imogen could see that.
Indeed, they were in different situations.
When Imogen looked for a man, she had to consider their future, income, family background, and many
other aspects.
But Cordelia was different.
She had achieved a lot at a young age and had many investments.
Even if she did nothing and maintained her current income, she would be able to live freely without
worries about the rest of her life.
Instead, Imogen was dazed that she believed in the future that Ben promised her.
That was why she would be so devastated and heartbroken like never before when she saw Ben take
other women to the hotel.
In the past, she didn't care because she never believed in Ben and never thought about their future.
But it was different now.
She foolishly entrusted herself and her child to such an unreliable man, which was the most frustrating
thing.
She wanted to give up those two children as she didn't want to think of those stupid things she had
done when she saw them in the future.
It was also a decision she made on impulse.
Fortunately, Cordelia stopped her in time and pulled her back from the edge of breaking down.
"Cordelia, I really envy you. I seem not sober recently," Imogen said shamelessly.
Cordelia quickly comforted her. "You silly girl, you are now pregnant. Your body's hormone imbalance
has caused your emotional instability, which is normal."
Imogen smiled bitterly. "Really? You are good at comforting me that you actually made me believe it."
Cordelia couldn't help but laugh. "Also, I heard that a pregnant woman will become stupid. So, you
have now become stupid and can be easily deceived. You should be more careful next time."
Imogen was stunned. "Wah, what you said makes sense, Cordelia. I suddenly figured it out and didn't
dislike myself so much."
"Imogen, I'm asking someone to investigate that matter, and I'll give you an explanation. If Ben didn't
lie, would you be relieved?" Cordelia asked gently.
"I have let go of that matter already, Cordelia, but I won't be so stupid, and I will not meet Ben again,"
Imogen said firmly.
"Okay, Imogen, then just wait patiently for my update," Cordelia said with a smile.
Hanging up the phone, Cordelia saw a text message.
She didn't need to look that she knew the person who sent her a message in that hour must be Elijah.
After all, the mobile company went off work at this time.
[Cordelia, Mr. Lawson has a gout attack. My mother wants you to go and check on him.]
Cordelia took a glance and threw the phone aside. "What a stupid lie."
With that said, she turned off her phone and went straight to sleep.
The next morning, she received a call from Eason.
They had a regular meeting at Elia Research Institute, and Eason wanted to come to pick her up.
Regarding his sudden attentiveness, Cordelia guessed that he probably had something to talk to her
about, and it probably had something to do with the banquet the night before. C0ntent © 2024 (N/ô)velDrama.Org.
So, she agreed and left the Maple Villa with him in his car.
Elijah watched their car pass him by, and his eyes followed them as they drove away, welled up with
sadness.
They were both single and unmarried, so they could indeed meet and even associate with each other
without restraint.
Elijah couldn't help but clenched his fist and punched the courtyard wall beside him, leaving a little
scarlet on the wall just thinking about that.
