Chapter 442 I'm Not Greedy
While listening to Elijah's words, Cordelia had already stopped what she was doing.
Her gaze was fixed on her hands as she listened to Elijah spouting those words continuously. At the
same time, she asked herself the same question.
Finally, when Elijah uttered the last sentence about equality being essential in a relationship, she was
completely stunned.
After a few seconds, she turned around slowly and looked at Elijah.
At this moment, Elijah looked rather sullen, and his gaze was a little complicated because his emotions
were surging.
Cordelia moved her lips, trying to defend herself, but it all ended with a hug and an apology.
This time, Elijah's body stiffened.
He was stunned and taken aback.
His eyes filled with tears as he experienced uncontrollable ecstasy immediately afterward.
Taking Cordelia into his arms, he hugged her fiercely as if he wanted to make her part of himself.
Cordelia gently pushed him away after a long time, which seemed like an eternity.
"Elijah, I'm sorry. I admit, I really love myself more now."
Elijah said quickly, "It doesn't matter. As long as you still love me, that's enough. I... I'm not greedy."
Cordelia shook her head and said, "Please don't panic. I need to think about it and reflect on myself."
"Okay, I'll give you time to think about it. The rest of my life is all yours," Elijah said with a smile.
Cordelia was taken aback for a moment. Then, she smiled and said, "You're a lot better with your
words than before. It seems that being with young girls has given your EQ a great boost."
Elijah immediately denied it, "Cordelia, hear me out. I really don't like Ben's cousin. If it wasn't for his
sake, I wouldn't have tolerated Kelly up to this point."
"Really?" Cordelia was obviously questioning him.
"It's probably quite enjoyable for actors like them to make up their own scripts and then immerse
themselves in the plots they've developed. She was really into it. Her performance in front of you these
two days has made me even more disgusted with her than before." Elijah did not hide his contempt for
Kelly.
Cordelia found it to be quite novel.
After all, even when he disliked someone, Elijah never showed it on his face in the past.
Clearly, he was genuinely annoyed with Kelly to the point where he didn't even care to pretend.
"I thought you would be somewhat grateful to that girl. After all, when you were sick and hospitalized,
she would come to the hospital to take care of you even if she had to put her work aside," Cordelia said
indifferently.
To her surprise, Elijah scoffed and said, "If she hadn't come, my illness would have been cured sooner."
Cordelia couldn't hold back and burst out laughing.
Elijah quickly struck while the iron was hot as he asked, "Are you willing to believe me now?"
Cordelia said truthfully, "I can tell that it's just her one-sided affection for you, and she keeps pestering
you. However, I find her even more unreasonable than Lamia used to be."
Lamia used to have a rather unpleasant temper before experiencing family turmoil, her parents'
divorce, and her father's death. However, she had long since overcome her princess syndrome and
stopped acting like a spoiled brat. Content bel0ngs to Nôvel(D)r/a/ma.Org.
"She is not young anymore. She's already twenty-four years old. She is older than Lamia and only two
years younger than you."
Moreover, Kelly had already paid the price for her unreasonable behavior. However, Elijah would not
tell Cordelia about it, lest Cordelia thought that he had violent tendencies.
Some naughty kids just needed to be dealt with.
Moreover, Kelly wasn't that young anymore. Still, she acted like a giant baby, expecting the entire world
to coax and pamper her.
Unfortunately, she was faced with Elijah, who refused to give in even to his own grandfather.
