Chapter 143 Give Up on Her
"Indeed, I won't hide it. Before getting married, I had fantasies about marriage. I was no longer alone,
and there would be a man to share a house with me," Cordelia confessed.
"We would eat and live together, work together, watch TV together, and sleep in the same bed together.
"Because it was an arranged marriage, we might not have been familiar at the beginning. But I believe
that with time, I would win his heart with my sincerity.
"However, imagination is rich, and reality always brings unexpected challenges.
"Elijah, I've tried. I've tried for a long time, but I'm tired now. I'm sorry..."
Tears streamed down Cordelia's face before she could realize that she was crying.
She had finally said it.
She had finally said what had been hidden within her heart!
Without waiting for her to collect her emotions, Elijah had already embraced her.
"I didn't bring any tissues, so I'll just use my clothes to wipe your tears."
The man's voice was gentle and light, with a hint of caution, as if he was afraid of startling her.
Cordelia cried in his arms, and in no time, she had wet his front.
"I'm sorry, Cordelia. It's my fault," Elijah said, knowing that at that moment, whatever he said was
useless.
Three years had passed.
In these three years, he knew exactly how he had treated Cordelia.
Because of his resistance to this marriage, he had silently rebelled by mistreating his marriage partner.
Looking back now, he knew he was a scumbag.
Then, he discovered Cordelia's secret.
It turned out that she had always kept another man in her heart!
This made him even less inclined to treat her well.
Now, he finally understood what he had missed.
He had missed a treasure, and he had missed the opportunity to possess it.
Now, he wanted to reclaim this treasure, but it might be incredibly difficult.
Luckily, it wasn't too late.
However, what Cordelia said next made him lose even this slight sense of relief. NôvelDrama.Org © content.
"Elijah, let's get divorced after I give birth to this kid. My only request is that we co-parent the child. No
matter what happens in the future, you will always be the child's father, and I will always be the child's
mother. That will never change."
As soon as Cordelia finished speaking, Elijah suddenly became somewhat agitated. "I'll never divorce
you! Never!"
A hint of pain flashed in Cordelia's eyes, and her tone suddenly became cold and harsh. "You're not
allowed to disagree! I've had enough!"
Elijah looked into her beautiful eyes and said sincerely, "I know that recently, because of Eva, you've
suffered a lot. But I can swear to the heavens that from beginning to end, I've treated Eva like that only
to fulfill his brother's wish. I see her as my sister and nothing else."
"All of that doesn't matter. What matters is that I have no obligation to endure you and no reason to
willingly tolerate you!" Cordelia firmly stated.
Elijah gently stroked her face and frowned. "You won't have to endure us in the future. However you
treat her, I will never doubt or interfere."
Cordelia was stunned.
She hadn't expected this man to suddenly make such a promise.
Cordelia didn't know why he suddenly decided to give up on Eva.
Maybe he didn't want to give up on Eva. He just chose Cordelia for the time being.
So... was Elijah doing this just to calm her down?
Cordelia frowned and continued, "Eva is not the only problem between us."
"Then we'll solve them one by one. In any case, I won't divorce!" Elijah declared.
With that, he pressed Cordelia against the tree, then held her and kissed her deeply.
