Later, Cordelia left.
Eason sat across from Milo, sipping coffee. His face was filled with exhaustion.
Milo said, "Eason, go rest in the guest room for a while if you're tired."
"I'll go in a moment." Eason nodded with gratitude.
Suddenly, Milo said softly, "Cordelia is a good girl. It's surely a great loss for whoever misses out on her."
"Mr. Carter, I can tell Cordelia still has feelings for Elijah," Eason looked down at the coffee in front of him, saying calmly.
Milo smiled and said no more.
He saw through Eason's love for Cordelia but kept silent, knowing that this young man would regret it someday.
Cordelia went to her studio. In the afternoon, Elijah called her.
"Would you like to have dinner with me tonight?"
"No, I have to work overtime today," Cordelia lied casually.
She didn't want to get too close to Elijah, even though he was pursuing her now.
"Then I'll come and keep you company," Elijah insisted.
Cordelia frowned and was about to refuse, but then she heard Elijah say, "I know you've been wronged today. You need some comfort from Cookie."
Thinking about Cookie's cute appearance, Cordelia hesitated visibly.
"Send me your address. I'll come and keep you company, then take you back to the Maple Villa," Elijah persisted.
Cordelia was convinced by him.
In the end, she only said one sentence before hanging up, "I'm at the studio."
She didn't feel wronged.
Since she independently treated patients at the age of eighteen, she was doubted many times. She would ask them to find someone else if they had any doubts. There was no need to feel wronged.
