Wake Up! You’re My Ex Now (Cordelia) novel Chapter 145

Cordelia suddenly tensed all over.

She hadn't expected that one day Elijah would propose something like this. It was truly something she never thought she'd witness.

Should she be grateful or be sad?

Maybe she should feel grateful because their faltering marriage wasn't completely over, and there was still a chance to salvage it.

Or maybe she should feel sad because all of this might be tied to the baby in her belly. Elijah wanted to keep her so badly that he was willing to become so humble.

Seeing her stunned silence, Elijah grew somewhat anxious.

But on the surface, he remained composed. "You don't have to answer me hastily. Or you don't need to answer me at all.

"In any case, from now on, I will start over with you, whether you agree or not. I'll do as you expected to learn everything about you and get to know you again.

"I'd love to live a new life with you."

After saying this, he gently held Cordelia's face but noticed that she had been crying again.

"Why are you crying again?" Elijah asked, feeling somewhat concerned.

Was she really so reluctant to be with him?

"I'm fine," Cordelia said, wiping away her tears. "I'm relieved that you have this intention. Let me think about it."

Elijah understood that she wouldn't rush into a relationship and was quite cautious. He didn't push further because it was better to take things slowly.

For now, Cordelia was still by his side. She was his wife, and nobody would take her away from him!

The two of them arrived at a barbecue stall. Since it wasn't mealtime, there weren't many customers.

"Are you okay with this outdoor barbecue place?" Cordelia asked Elijah.

"You are, and that's all that matters. I'm fine with it," Elijah replied without hesitation.

So, they sat down immediately.

The restaurant in the scenic area had limited hygiene conditions, not comparable to the restaurants they usually went to, but they both enjoyed their food.
