Imogen raised her eyebrows. "Oh? You didn't deny it for the first time!"
Cordelia tilted her head. "So, do you think I was pretending when I denied it before?"
"Or what?" Imogen's eyes widened.
Cordelia was speechless.
However, only a couple knew whether they suited each other.
"The daughter-in-law of Elijah's uncle had a miscarriage again. This is the third time. His uncle forced his son to get a divorce," Cordelia said lightly.
Imogen was stunned. "He is so cruel!"
"Elijah is a smart man. At first, he was rebellious and always against his family. Now, I think he must have figured it out." Cordelia lowered her eyes and frowned.
"Hey, you're too pessimistic, aren't you? Maybe it's because he likes you more. It's normal for a couple to fall in love over time." Imogen comforted Cordelia.
Cordelia forced a smile.
She knew herself well. Their relationship was temporary. Elijah wouldn't be with her forever.
Seeing Cordelia like this, Imogen changed the subject. "Oh, by the way, I will leave for Tarssa City next week."
"Has the accommodation been arranged?" Cordelia asked with concern.
"Yeah. I will temporarily live in the dormitory of the company." Imogen smiled and said, "When I settle down, I will invite you over."
Tarssa City was not far from Beilve City. It was only an hour's drive away.
Cordelia readily agreed.
Just then, Edith called and asked Cordelia to go back for dinner at night.
"Cordelia, I just called Elijah, but he didn't answer. You can inform him later!"
"Okay, Mom."
After hanging up the phone, Cordelia called Elijah. It was Eva who answered the phone.
Eva said with a weak, nasal voice, "Elijah will accompany me today. Don't disturb him."
Cordelia was taken aback for a moment and then said, "Let Elijah answer the phone."
