Cordelia's body stiffened at first, and then she said in a cold tone of voice, "Let go."
Elijah took a deep breath. After taking in her sweet scent, he reluctantly let go of her hand.
"Sorry, I went too far."
Nevertheless, he still had no sense of consciousness.
The night before Cordelia left was still fresh in his mind. The two kissed and hugged like college sweethearts. Cordelia was still in love with him at that time.
He started to wonder if she had caught feelings for another man in the last two years.
Elijah looked at her slender back and asked with difficulty, "Cordelia, do you not have any feelings for me anymore?"
Cordelia glanced at him with her peripheral vision and shook her head as she replied, "We have been apart for too long, and I don't feel anything for you anymore."
Elijah's heart tensed up.
However, before he could speak again, Cordelia continued, "In the past two years, we have all had different experiences and situations, and we are no longer the same people we used to be.
"I was already mentally prepared for this when I left. Of course, I left in an attempt to forget you.
"We don't really have many good memories together. We don't have to force ourselves to stay together..."
At this point, Elijah finally couldn't help but interrupt her.
Elijah smiled miserably and said, "Cordelia, were you really in love with me? From the beginning to the end, all you wanted was to escape. Did you really love me?"
Cordelia was stunned.
