If Elijah had acted tough, stared at her, and acted as a dominant CEO, Cordelia would have ignored him completely.
But the way he was now... Cordelia's heart trembled slightly.
After all, he was Elijah!
Would he really bow down, put aside his pride, and beg for her?
Cordelia raised her hand slightly, then hesitated. She felt a bit unsure of what to do.
However, Elijah grabbed her hand and placed it on his chest.
"Cordelia, my heart is filled with you," Elijah said affectionately.
In his amber eyes, Cordelia's face was reflected as if he wanted to pull her in and lock her there forever.
But after just a few seconds, Cordelia slowly withdrew her hand from Elijah's palm.
During this process, Elijah felt like his heart was slowly tearing apart and bleeding.
"Go ahead, do what you need to do." Cordelia stood up, moving away from the sofa and moving away from him.
In this world, there was no such thing as having it all.
Cordelia had once wanted to be the woman by his side, but in the end, she had become a stumbling block in Elijah's career.
She had clearly overestimated herself. Elijah had never considered her, never taken her seriously.
Now that he had resolved his issues, did he think he could just pick her up again?
In this world, nothing was so perfect.
Cordelia didn't know when Elijah had left, but she didn't care.
In the evening, she received a call from Adam inquiring about her well-being.
"Cordelia, no one has been bothering you these past few days, right?"
Cordelia guessed that Adam must have learned something, prompting him to ask that way, so she told him the truth.
