Wake Up! You’re My Ex Now (Cordelia) novel Chapter 291

Elijah chuckled self-deprecatingly and said, "Cordelia, I'm absolutely sick of this hereditary family system. How is this still happening in the modern society?"

"But your family is indeed very powerful," Cordelia sighed.

With his own power, Elijah effortlessly brought down the entire Watts family, making them history in Beilve City overnight. The Hansen family in Beilve City was an invincible force that couldn't be shaken.

Cordelia knew very well that if Elijah left his family, everything in the future would be uncertain.

It took great courage to make such a decision.

No wonder Milo wanted Cordelia to stay in Grant City. On the one hand, he didn't want her to get involved in this turmoil, and on the other hand, he was testing Elijah's abilities and courage.

"Cordelia, will you wait for me?" Elijah suddenly asked.

Cordelia was lost in thought for a moment before coming back to her senses. "Yes, I will."

Elijah seemed visibly relieved and let out a sigh. "Cordelia, you scared me."

Just now, he had been holding his breath and waiting for Cordelia's answer.

That brief moment of hesitation from Cordelia felt like a century to him.

Cordelia laughed lightly and said, "I wasn't hesitant. It's just that you suddenly asked me such a serious question, and I couldn't react in time."

"I can tell that you're not forcing yourself," Elijah said seriously.

"Everything is temporary. Elijah, don't worry," Cordelia reassured him.

Her voice sounded even softer through the phone, soothing Elijah's anxious mood.

Later, they accompanied each other into dreamland through a video call, just like before.

In the afternoon, Mia invited Cordelia to her home.

At that time, Eason was also by Cordelia's side. Seeing her hesitant expression, Eason spoke up, "Cordelia, my mother currently lives alone, and she might feel a bit lonely, so she's usually very hospitable."
