"She is quite experienced in this kind of thing, patiently hunting her prey and not seeking quick success. If it were an ordinary man, they might have allowed her to do whatever she wanted," Elijah commented.
"So, are you praising yourself for being an extraordinary man?" Cordelia chuckled.
"I am indeed a freak." Elijah's voice grew lighter and more cheerful. "I'm only interested in you."
Cordelia didn't know how to reply to him.
After that, Elijah's hearty laughter came from the other end of the phone.
"It is getting late. Go to bed quickly," Cordelia said hurriedly.
"Okay, thank you."
After hanging up the phone, Elijah's voice and words from earlier continued to echo in Cordelia's ears, making her unable to calm down for a long time.
"Sure enough, it still doesn't work," said Cordelia dejectedly.
This man was so special to her that it was hard for her to forget him.
She feared that even if she escaped from here for ten or twenty years, her heart would still flutter when she saw him again.
However, Cordelia was also a bit unwilling to accept this reality.
If time couldn't help her grow, then what was the point of her living?
Early the following day, Cordelia received a call from a "pregnant lady."
"Cordelia, you have stolen the limelight again. From last night until now, all the socialites and noble ladies have been discussing you and the Hansen family."
Cordelia pinched her eyebrows and said with annoyance, "Why did I always become the topic of their discussions?"
Imogen laughed on the other end of the phone. "I heard from Adam that now everyone has heard the news that Eason is choosing a marriage partner, and they are all trying their best to attract his attention."
Cordelia was well aware of this fact.
After all, she had seen several women flirting with Eason at the banquet last night.
Just then, the doorbell rang outside.
It only rang once before going silent.
