Not allowing Cordelia to inquire further, Milo hung up the phone on the pretext that he had something to deal with.
Cordelia put down her phone, rested her chin on one hand, and looked out the window, carefully thinking about what Milo meant.
Finally, she came to the conclusion that he didn't let her go back to Beilve City.
Perhaps Milo was protecting her.
Now that Beilve City was not peaceful, Milo didn't want her to be involved in trouble.
Therefore, Cordelia listened to Milo, stayed in Grant City with peace of mind, and treated Jayden responsibly.
Since she moved out of Eason's apartment, they hadn't seen each other again. But Eason would still call her to discuss business and would ask about her recent situation discreetly.
Cordelia was not opposed to that. She just wanted not to be entangled by men and could live freely.
"Okay. Bye."
Eason hung up the phone and kept looking out the window intently, thinking about something.
Imogen was playing on her phone on the sofa, glancing at Eason from time to time and then secretly winking at Adam.
Finally, Adam cleared his throat, breaking the silence in the living room.
"Eason, Imogen, and I haven't seen Cordelia for several days. What she has been up to?"
Eason came to his senses and said, "She is quiet by nature, and she just broke up, so she wants to be alone."
"Is everything between you two okay?" Imogen asked cautiously.
"Yes." Eason turned around calmly, facing away from them.
After all, he couldn't remain at ease after telling a lie.
When Imogen returned to the room, Adam came to Eason and asked, "Eason, have you already spoken to Cordelia about your feelings?"
"Yes, I confessed my love to her, but she refused," Eason still said calmly.
The most uncomfortable days had passed. Now, he could only comfort himself with the reason that he didn't keep his first love to himself.
