Wake Up! You’re My Ex Now (Cordelia) novel Chapter 190

"You came all the way here to find me? What's the matter?" Cordelia looked at him, puzzled.

Elijah held an umbrella for her as they walked side by side.

"I missed you, wanted to see you."

Cordelia replied coldly, "Elijah, you really don't have to do this. Tell me, what do you need my help with?"

"Nothing." Elijah smiled bitterly.

Elijah never knew that, in the eyes of Cordelia, he was such a person.

It made him feel uneasy.

Since he said there was nothing, Cordelia took note of it in her heart.

From now on, no matter what Elijah asked for, she wouldn't help.

After that, the two walked in silence.

It wasn't until Cordelia saw the courtyard of her guesthouse ahead that she spoke, "Thank you for walking me back. You said you wanted to see me, and now you have. So..."

Elijah tightened his grip on the umbrella and looked earnestly at her beautiful features. "Cordelia, I told you before that I wanted to pursue you again, but you ran away. What are you afraid of?"

"Elijah, do you think marriage is just a game? I don't accept your pursuit. I'm not afraid of anything, and I simply wanted to leave Beilve City and travel around," Cordelia said calmly.

"Then give me a reason, a reason to reject me," Elijah pressed.

"You should create a new family with a woman who matches your social status instead of going down the same old path!" Cordelia stated firmly.

"You are the woman!"

"Elijah!" Cordelia grew angry.

She didn't want to get angry, but Elijah's persistent pestering made her a little impatient in the end.

"Elijah, I'm not your backup plan. When you remember, you come running to me for comfort!" Cordelia said seriously.

Elijah froze, looking at Cordelia's eyes filled with displeasure. Suddenly, he laughed.

"Cordelia, have you misunderstood?"

"Not at all."

"I won't accept the arrangements from my family anymore. If my grandfather forces me, I'll leave there!" Elijah said firmly.
