Indeed, Eason was too proper of a person and a complete workaholic. Cordelia thought she might have overthought things.
At the moment of parting, Eason told her, "Take care of yourself."
Watching Eason's car drive away, Cordelia gazed in that direction for a long time.
"Eason was truly an odd person," she thought.
Just then, Elijah walked out from the yard and stood inside the gate, looking over.
"You're still looking even though he's gone so far? Don't want to go home anymore, huh?"
His tone was somewhat cold and a bit sour.
Cordelia ignored him.
Seeing her indifferent expression, Elijah approached and assertively took her hand. "Why did you come back so late?"
"I've been at the construction site the whole time."
Elijah arched an eyebrow. "You are pregnant, so you should avoid going to dangerous places like the construction site in the future."
Cordelia was speechless.
"Cordelia!" Elijah sounded a bit anxious. "I'm talking to you. What are you thinking?"
Cordelia halted her steps, coldly looking at him. "How about you just tie me to your belt?"
Elijah froze.
Cordelia pulled away from his grip, glared at him, and entered the house ahead.
After a while, Elijah finally realized what had just happened.
It turned out Cordelia was rejecting him.
Elijah stormed into the house, and with a forceful gesture, he pinned Cordelia against the wall.
"Cordelia, I was just concerned about you. What's your attitude?"
"Taking a leaf out of your book, ambiguous!" Cordelia chuckled.
Elijah's eyes darkened. He lowered his voice and said, "Seems like you're getting too proud of being favored."
Cordelia smirked, "Isn't that because I'm carrying your baby?"
After all, Elijah had never really restrained his temper when it came to her in the past.
