The truth was Elijah kept trying to sleep with Cordelia in different ways, which made Cordelia think that this man liked her just superficially.
This had bothered her all this time.
Perhaps, until now, she still lacked confidence in this relationship.
The root of the lack of self-confidence might be, as Imogen said, the lack of the most basic communication between them.
Now, she spoke out what was in her heart and got Elijah's answer.
Sure enough, her heart was much more at ease!
It turned out that she had always been worrying about nothing.
Her secret love and devotion, as well as her suffering, were mostly due to herself!
She had to learn to dare to express her thoughts and doubts.
Being restrained and reserved would only make her troubled.
Seeing that Cordelia was blushing and remained silent for a long time, Elijah kissed her behind the ear. "Silly, you can ask me any questions you have in the future. I won't laugh at you."
Sensing Elijah's eagerness to try again, Cordelia hurriedly stood up and avoided. "Elijah, don't push your luck!"
Elijah felt empty in his arms, at the same time, empty in his heart.
He opened his arms to Cordelia. "Come here. I'll only hug you."
Cordelia rolled her eyes and did not believe his nonsense at all.
This man had a very strong desire. Cordelia knew it before, and she was determined not to fall into his trap.
"Then, are you still going back?" Elijah lowered his arms and asked.
"Yes. I'll go back tonight!" Cordelia snorted arrogantly, turned, and went into the bathroom.
Looking at Cordelia's slim figure, Elijah smiled slightly.
