"Regardless of Ben's illness, I still sincerely thank you for him, Miss Carter." After speaking, Elijah pressed his chest with one hand and gave a gentleman's nod.
Only then did Cordelia smile and say, "You're welcome. After all, I'm still at the primary stage in the field of psychiatry, so I can't help you much."
At this moment, the doorbell rang.
When Elijah came to the door, he saw the person standing outside the door through the videophone, and he pinched his brows with a headache.
"Why are you here?" Elijah asked seriously when he opened the door.
"Hi, Elijah, I brought some fresh ingredients. Let's cook dinner together tonight!" The girl's sweet voice came from the door.
At the same time, Cordelia noticed that Elijah had a guest at his door, so she picked up her bag and prepared to leave.
Elijah ignored Kelly, who was standing at the door and looked at Cordelia, who came out.
"You're leaving?"
"Well, I still have something to do, so I won't bother you," Cordelia said while changing her shoes.
Cordelia was already tall, to begin with, but when she put on high heels, it made Kelly look like a dwarf in comparison.
Elijah quickly grabbed her hand and said, "Stay for dinner."
His eyes were sincere, and there was a little reluctance in his tone.
Cordelia shook her head and firmly rejected him.
At this moment, Kelly suddenly stepped forward and hugged Elijah's arm. "Elijah, since this lady doesn't want to stay for dinner, why do you have to force her against her wishes?"
Cordelia squinted, knowing that Kelly was doing that on purpose.
This girl's scheming personality was written all over her face, and since Elijah could tolerate her, it proved that she had something to rely on.
As he spoke, Elijah shoved Kelly away unceremoniously. "Kelly, you should respect her. Also, don't touch me in the future, and next time, even if Ben is here, he won't be able to protect you."
A little dizzy after being pushed away by Elijah, Kelly's expression suddenly became aggrieved.
