Elijah hugged Cordelia and whispered, "Do you know, Cordelia? My mother's first man was not my father. They all hid it from me. They were all the same."
Elijah suddenly laughed, but Cordelia could see all the pain hidden in his eyes, which was hard to detect.
"You're drunk." Cordelia hugged and comforted him. "I'll take you back, okay?"
"I am sober."
Elijah rested his chin on Cordelia's shoulder, and his eyes were clear.
Cordelia knew who Elijah was talking about. It was Jayden.
However, Edith said that the man ruined her life.
It seemed that Elijah's faith was about to be destroyed by his parents' past events.
After returning to the hotel, Elijah remained silent.
His phone rang for a long time, but he didn't answer.
Later, Cordelia came to his bedside and saw the call from Edith. She tried to persuade him to answer the phone.
Elijah shook his head and looked at Cordelia. "Answer it for me, and tell my mother that I'm asleep."
Cordelia looked at him and sighed, "Okay!"
Elijah had entered a dead end in thinking.
Although Cordelia was sympathetic, Elijah needed to persuade himself and solve the problem, just like what had happened to Tristan.
No one but himself could help him.
Therefore, Cordelia went to the balcony to answer the phone.
Edith's voice was weary. She asked in puzzlement, "Cordelia, where's Elijah?"
