The room fell into silence.
Ben's gaze wandered.
But he was actually focused on his hearing, waiting for Elijah's message.
"Okay, thank you, Mr. Gudwin. Sorry to bother you."
Shortly after, Elijah hung up the phone and casually picked up a glass of wine.
"Just wait!"
Ben said, "Is this big shot in Grant City still infatuated with your mother?"
"I'm not sure about their relationship." Elijah casually steered the conversation back. "What are your plans if there's something wrong with Imogen's pregnancy?"
"Of course, I'll bring her back!" Ben clenched his teeth fiercely.
"Alright, I'll let you know as soon as I have any updates."
At the airport hotel in Grant City, urgent beeps sounded.
With her pregnant belly, Imogen looked at Cordelia's phone and said, "Cordelia, Elijah's calling."
Cordelia was busy with her skincare routine. As both hands were occupied, she gestured for Imogen to put it on speakerphone.
Imogen nodded and immediately did as she was told.
Soon, Elijah's deep and smiling voice came through the speaker.
Imogen glanced at Cordelia and mouthed. "So sexy."
Cordelia rolled her eyes and then casually chatted with Elijah.
Suddenly, Elijah said, "Cordelia, are you keeping something from me?"
Cordelia paused and asked, "Oh? You already know?"
Imogen was shocked and worried.
Could it be that Elijah found out about their plan to run away?
