"No," Cordelia refused firmly.
Elijah choked, and his eyes filled with sadness.
So she held Cordelia's hand and handed her the umbrella.
"Well, you better go back now. See you tomorrow!" Elijah turned and walked into the rain without looking back.
He hurriedly walked, his figure desolate, with a hint of lost confidence. The raindrops fell on his head and body, adding a touch of sorrow.
Cordelia stood still, holding the umbrella, and watched his figure for a long time, and her brow always furrowed.
She was increasingly puzzled by Elijah.
Back in her little house, Cordelia made herself a serving of spaghetti and ate it. Afterward, she stared out of the window into the rainy night.
When Imogen called, the phone rang for a long time before Cordelia snapped back to reality.
"Hello, Cordelia, I heard from Ben that your hus... oh, sorry, Elijah came to see you?"
"Yes, he came to see me because he wasn't feeling well," Cordelia said lightly.
"Oh, really? That's just an excuse, right?"
"He said he had a heart problem," Cordelia said helplessly.
Imogen immediately burst into laughter, "Hahaha, he's just trying to flirt with you, Cordelia."
Cordelia was taken aback, and after realizing it, she became somewhat annoyed.
She had been fooled by Elijah again!
"Cordelia, what are you thinking now?" Imogen asked.
Cordelia said unhappily, "Imogen, I'm exhausted. I don't want any more involvement with him. I will refuse him once and for all."
Imogen, however, said meaningfully on the other end, "I'm worried that under his persistent pursuit, you may not be able to hold out for long. Besides, Elijah really likes you."
"That's impossible!" Cordelia reacted strongly and immediately denied it.
