Suddenly, Elijah held Cordelia in his arms tightly, making it difficult for her to breathe.
"Women's hearts are made of stones."
Elijah said in a low voice with a tone implying that Cordelia had hurt his feelings.
Cordelia froze for a moment and then hugged Elijah back.
The fact was she couldn't make any promises to Elijah.
If they were bound to break up one day in the future, it was better to live in the present.
At least they were happy now.
In the morning, Cordelia received a call from Edith asking her out.
Cordelia readily accepted the invitation as she actually liked Edith.
They met in a coffee shop. After a few trivial conversations, they got down to business.
In fact, before coming to see Edith, Cordelia had expected that Edith would ask her to leave Elijah by giving her money.
Indeed, Edith did bring some money.
However, unexpectedly, what Edith requested was to make some sachets for Gideon.
"Cordelia, Gideon wasn't able to sleep well for half a month. The lack of sleep has seriously affected his health. So..."
Cordelia pushed back the money.
"Mrs. Edith Hansen, I'm not short of money."
Edith's smile froze, and she took the money back.
"If Sir Hansen can't sleep, he can take some medicine. It won't harm too much," Cordelia replied.
Edith sighed, "He's taken the medicine. It worked in the beginning days, but now he can't fall asleep even with the medicine."
Cordelia shrugged, expressing that she couldn't help either.
