Chapter 405 Cordelia Would Live for Herself!
Early the following day, Cordelia was awakened by the loud ringing of the phone.
"Cordelia, I handed Elijah over to you. Was that how you took care of him? Leaving him alone in the
house?" Ben gritted his teeth as he spoke.
"What? Didn't Imogen come to you? You seem quite furious," Cordelia retorted casually.
Ben growled. "Shut up."
Cordelia looked out of the window at the gloomy sky with some irritation.
In fact, after she left yesterday, she also regretted it a little, but at that time, she had already left the
courtyard of Elijah's house.
Returning would have been meaningless, so she decided to leave directly.
As a result, she had insomnia.
She was in a bad mood now and didn't want to hear Ben's angry rant.
"Elijah is just my ex-husband. When he was sick, I went to his place, fed him medicine, and helped him
with his insomnia. I've done everything I can," Cordelia said coldly and harshly.
"Great, really great!" Ben became frustrated. "Women are always right! Cordelia, you're indeed
something else!"
Upon hearing the change in his tone from the usual sarcastic and sharp words to this oddly insincere
speech, Cordelia was momentarily confused.
Then, Ben said, "Aren't you all become arrogant by relying on our care for you? Cordelia, let me tell
you, when Elijah cares about you, you do appear dazzling and radiant. But once he no longer cares
about you, you're nothing!"
With that, Ben hung up the phone directly.
Cordelia tossed her phone and covered her head with the blanket.
Did she do something wrong?
In a relationship between two people, would everything go smoothly as long as they loved each other?
Being in a relationship was hard, and loving someone was equally challenging. Cordelia was genuinely
fearful.
But now that she had come this far, she had no regrets.
Even if it was a mistake, she would continue down this path. NôvelDrama.Org owns all © content.
Perhaps she would never meet a man more stunning than Elijah in this lifetime.
Then she would live for herself!
It wasn't a big deal!
Milo had never married in his lifetime, yet his students were worldwide. As a disciple of Milo, she could
do it too!
Cordelia didn't receive any message from Elijah for a whole week.
Nor did she hear any rumors about Elijah.
This person seemed to have left Beilve City and utterly exited her world.
On the other hand, Cordelia continued to work step by step, just as before. She was even more
focused and motivated than before.
The leaders worked tirelessly all day, and the employees naturally became more diligent. After all, the
bonuses for this quarter had just been distributed, and they were incredibly enticing.
On the night of the charity banquet, Cordelia changed her usual low profile and wore a sparkling
mermaid evening gown.
After getting out of the car, Eason extended his arm to Cordelia.
She smiled and naturally linked her arm with his. Together, they walked up the red carpet.
As soon as they entered, they were met with the curious gazes of many people.
Especially the women from the elite circles of Beilve City all cast surprised glances at Cordelia.
"Why is it her? Hasn't the Hansen family kicked her out? How did she return to the Hansen family
again?"
"No, she has always been with Elijah."
"Is Eason competing with Elijah for a woman? My God, is there not any single lady in Beilve City?"
Everyone had already assumed that Eason had returned to the Hansen family.
"I don't think Cordelia deserves this."
Various voices came from the crowd, but Cordelia turned a deaf ear to them.
When she married Elijah, these people had already made sarcastic comments about her, and she had
long been used to them.
At this time, there was a commotion at the entrance.
Elijah and Ben appeared at the door at the same time.
However, Elijah's indifferent gaze swept across Cordelia's face.
He treated her as if she were a stranger, without pausing for even a second.
