Wake Up! You’re My Ex Now (Cordelia) novel Chapter 9

Chapter 9 Mind Your Own Business! 

His warm breath blew into her car, making her instantly melt. Cordelia struggled to resist the desire to surrender, and squinted her eyes. 

“Aren’t you afraid your little mistress will get impatient and start crying outside?” 

Elijah put away his smile and glared at her. 

“Cordelia, watch your words!” 

Cordelia’s heart sank. 

He cared about Eva. 

Since he already had someone to care about, why would he still try to flirt with her? 

Cordelia’s beautiful eyes lost their luster. Although she felt insecure in her current position, she still refused to back down. 

She sneered, “So? Can’t she satisfy you?” 

Elijah let go of Cordelia and spoke coldly, “That’s not what your think. Not every woman is like you.” 

Like how? Cordelia wondered. 

So, he could embrace and feed Eva sweetly, but she was not allowed to dance with a partner? 

Cordelia widened her beautiful eyes and stared fixedly at the man before her. She did gain more insight! 

“Did you hear me?” Elijah pressed on aggressively. 

At this moment, his phone started relentlessly ringing in his pocket. He ignored it the first time, but the caller dialed again. 

Cordelia looked at him coldly. “Don’t worry, I won’t make any mistakes before the divorce. And I will protect my rights as a married woman to the end!” 

Extramarital affairs should be compensated by the guilty party to the spouse. 

Before meeting Eva, Cordelia planned to break up peacefully with Elijah. 

But now, since she couldn’t keep the man, let him make up for it with money! 

Elijah carefully examined Cordelia for a while, furrowing his brows. “Stop being so ambiguous. Nobody has harmed your rights. Mind your own business.” 

After saying that, Elijah turned and left. 

Cordelia collapsed against the wall as if she were drained of 

energy. 

her lace and almost had an emotional breakdown but ultimately held it in.

On weekends, Cordelia usually went to her mother’s house for dinner. 

Seeing Cordelia return alone, Janice was unhappy. “Why didn’t you come back with Elijah?” 

“He’s busy,” Cordelia replied calmly. 

“Cordelia, don’t try to fool me. Are you quarreling with Elijah?” Janice glared at her angrily. 

Cordelia frowned slightly and didn’t answer. 

Janice took Cordelia’s silence as confirmation and immediately stepped forward to twist her ear. 

“Cordelia, are you stupid? Without Elijah, you are going to starve! Let me tell you, neither Kevin nor I will support you!” 

Kevin Deleon was her stepfather. Cordelia winced in pain and quickly slapped away Janice’s hand. “I don’t need it. Even if I starve, I won’t ask you for a penny!” 

“You better be.” Janice looked at Cordelia disdainfully. “Alright, we didn’t prepare your meal today. If Elijah isn’t coming, you don’t have to come back either.” 

Cordelia bit her lip and told herself not to get angry. This was her 

own mother. She had to endure! 

Just as Cordelia was about to leave, a slightly teasing voice sounded. “So it turns out Janice didn’t prepare a meal for me and my wife. What a coincidence.” 

Cordelia turned around and met a smiling face. His deep eyes contained a hint of meaning. 

Was he… mocking her? 

“Traffic was bad, so I arrived late, Cordelia,” Elijah approached and affectionately embraced Cordelia’s slender waist. “Since there’s no meal for us, I’ll take Cordelia out to eat.” 

Suddenly, Cordelia felt a tightness around her waist. 

This bastard pinched the flesh on her waist as if warning her to follow his escape route. 

She leaned into Elijah’s arms and held onto his waist. “Sure, I feel like eating steak today. Let’s go have a barbecue!” 

Elijah responded happily, “Sure thing.” 

Just then, Mac Deleon heard the sound and hurriedly ran out of the room, calling out sweetly, “Elijah, you’re here!” 

Mae was Cordelia’s half-sister from the same mother, whom Janice was very proud of. 

She was dressed in a complicated floral pink dress, heavily made up, as if attending a grand party. 

Her gaze. 

Elijah raised an eyebrow. “Mae, you look beautiful today.” 

Mac blushed and smiled shyly. “Thank you.” 

Apparently, Mae was interested in her brother-in-law.
