Chapter 121 How Much Have You Hidden From Me?
"I won't provoke others if they don't provoke me!" Imogen rolled her eyes and conveyed through lip
movement to Cordelia. "Look, he's coming to inquire us so quickly."
Cordelia responded in a normal tone, "Just like Elijah. He always protects other women."
Now, there was silence on the other end of the call.
Imogen pretended to be impatient. "Alright. Let's talk when I get home if you have something to say. I'm
hanging up for now."
"Imogen, are you provoking trouble again? You better give me a..."
Ben's words were cut off as Imogen hung up the call. Imogen then angrily stuffed the meat into her
mouth.
"Enough. Eat a little less. How will you go on stage if you get too fat?" Cordelia reminded Imogen
helplessly.
"Cordelia, I'm upset and feeling wronged." Imogen feigned tears.
"Alright, alright. Don't be upset." Cordelia patted her head. "Ben's temperament is just like Elijah's."
"I think so. Ben's always..." As Imogen spoke, she blushed. "He's always punishing me in that way."
Cordelia immediately understood and joked, "Maybe you should get pregnant too."
Imogen gave a bitter smile. "No one would care about my baby."
Cordelia fell silent. She knew that Imogen and Ben's current relationship was somewhat
unconventional, even a bit... shallow.
"Ben is a very selfish man, and he'll do whatever it takes to achieve his goals. Elissa is probably the
only person who can make him set aside his principles."
Cordelia patted Imogen's hand. "Alright. Let's not talk about those disappointing people."
By the time they finished eating, it was nearly eight o'clock.
They left the small restaurant, chatting and laughing. On the roadside, there were two luxury cars
parked.
Two men stood nearby, smoking and chatting.
"Hey, it seems like they've resolved their differences," Cordelia whispered.
"Of course. Ben can't afford to fall out with your husband," Imogen chuckled. "I think those two are true
love."
At that moment, Elijah stubbed out his cigarette and approached, wrapping his arm around Cordelia's
shoulder. "Want to leave? If not, I can carry you."
Imogen accidentally overheard Elijah's remark and immediately burst out, "Whoa. That's so sweet!"
Cordelia covered her ears. "Imogen, that's enough." Text © by N0ve/lDrama.Org.
"You two are enough!" Imogen retorted, and then she dashed over to Ben.
Cordelia got into the car and glanced back.
She happened to see Imogen hugging Ben's waist, snuggling into his embrace.
Imogen was petite. No one could resist her when she acted cute.
Ben lowered his head to rub Imogen's head, a faint smile on his lips.
"Stop staring at them. You might twist your neck," Elijah said coolly, "Is that so attractive?"
"Of course!" Cordelia said, going along with his words.
Elijah snorted and asked, "Who looks better, Ben or me?"
Cordelia pursed her lips and remained silent.
She thought Elijah was so childish.
"How could I have a thing for such a childish man?" She thought.
"Honey..." Elijah leaned close to Cordelia's ear, trying to coax her.
Cordelia was almost helpless by his antics and quickly said, "You're good-looking. You're the best
looking."
Elijah's arm slipped around hers, and their fingers intertwined. "That's more like it. Did you get into a
fight with someone today?"
"Did Ben tell you?" Cordelia responded with annoyance, "Is he distorting the truth again?"
Ben was so devious. Cordelia had to be on guard against him.
"I saw it for myself," Elijah said, tilting up Cordelia's chin and leaning closer to her lips. "Cordelia, how
much have you hidden from me?"
