While listening to Elijah's words, Cordelia had already stopped what she was doing.
Her gaze was fixed on her hands as she listened to Elijah spouting those words continuously. At the same time, she asked herself the same question.
Finally, when Elijah uttered the last sentence about equality being essential in a relationship, she was completely stunned.
After a few seconds, she turned around slowly and looked at Elijah.
At this moment, Elijah looked rather sullen, and his gaze was a little complicated because his emotions were surging.
Cordelia moved her lips, trying to defend herself, but it all ended with a hug and an apology.
This time, Elijah's body stiffened.
He was stunned and taken aback.
His eyes filled with tears as he experienced uncontrollable ecstasy immediately afterward.
Taking Cordelia into his arms, he hugged her fiercely as if he wanted to make her part of himself.
Cordelia gently pushed him away after a long time, which seemed like an eternity.
"Elijah, I'm sorry. I admit, I really love myself more now."
Elijah said quickly, "It doesn't matter. As long as you still love me, that's enough. I... I'm not greedy."
Cordelia shook her head and said, "Please don't panic. I need to think about it and reflect on myself."
"Okay, I'll give you time to think about it. The rest of my life is all yours," Elijah said with a smile.
Cordelia was taken aback for a moment. Then, she smiled and said, "You're a lot better with your words than before. It seems that being with young girls has given your EQ a great boost."
