Chapter 125 Elijah Was Jealous
Cordelia knew that Imogen had a keen eye for luxury items, so she turned to look at Elijah and said, "If
anyone has robbed the bank, it''s him."
Imogen covered her mouth. "Don''t ask me why I''m covering my mouth. I''m afraid tears of envy will flow
from it. Oh my God, Cordelia. How can there be such a happy woman like you in this world?"
Cordelia felt embarrassed. "To be honest, I''m still a bit bewildered even now. I don''t know what he''s
trying to convey."
"What do you mean? You''re his wife and carrying the Hansen family''s baby. He should be willing to do
anything for you," Imogen said matter-of-factly.
Cordelia shook her head and didn''t say anything more. After wishing Imogen sess in her
performance, she prepared to join Elijah in their seats.
Just then, a melodious voice stopped her. "Cora?"
Cordelia stopped and turned around. It turned out to be Ivan.
"Hello, Ivan," Cordelia greeted politely.
"I watched the dance video of youreback performance recently. Cora, you''re as excellent as ever.
Your performance that time was even better than before!" Ivan praised sincerely, genuinely admiring
Cordelia''s talent.
"I was just filling in for Imogen that time, not making aeback," Cordelia exined quickly.
At that moment, Elijah walked over. "Darling, the performance is about to start. Let''s take our seats
quickly!"
His voice was gentle, and the way he addressed Cordelia was intimate.
Cordelia remembered that he would call her darling whenever Elijah asserted their rtionship.
"Ivan, go get ready. We''ll head to our seats now," Cordelia said.
Elijah nodded in acknowledgment to Ivan and then wrapped his arm around Cordelia''s waist as they
walked away.
"There seem to be quite a few admirers of you, Master Cora," Elijah remarked, a hint of jealousy in his
tone.
Cordelia quickly denied it, saying, "Ivan never pursued me."
"Then he must have had a secret crush on you," Elijah said with conviction.
"I don''t have time to entertain such thoughts," Cordelia replied, feeling helpless.
She wasn''t some irresistible catch that every man in the world was pining for.
After they took their seats, the theater lights dimmed.
Cordelia looked toward the performers'' waiting area and saw Imogen and Ivan waving at her. She
returned their waves with a smile.
"Were you there to spy on me that time?" Elijah asked yfully.
His question immediately brought back an unpleasant memory for Cordelia.
She responded with no expression, "Of course not. I just happened to see you and Eva together by
chance."
Elijah exined, "Eva got burned that time, and I took her out to rx."
Cordelia looked at him deeply, and after a while, she said, "You''re a good brother."
"I''m not as good as your brother." Elijah quickly withdrew his smile.
At that moment, the performance began.
Cordelia watched attentively and refrained from speaking to Elijah during the show.

She waspletely engrossed in the dance and didn''t notice the man beside her was emitting an icy
air that grew stronger over time.
Later, Elijah got up and left. Cordelia assumed he was stepping out for a smoke and didn''t pay much
attention to it, focusing on the performance.
However, the performance ended, and Elijah still hadn''t returned.
Cordelia called him, and his cold voice came through the phone. "I''m at the exit."
"Okay. I was going to find Imogen, and you..."
"Are you going to find Imogen, or are you going to find Ivan?" Elijah interrupted her, questioning.
Cordelia frowned, remained silent for a while, and then said, "Thanks for reminding me. I do have
something to discuss with Ivan."
"Cordelia, how dare you?" Elijah''s tone was clearly tinged with anger. "Just wait. I''lle back to find
you right now."
Suddenly, Cordelia burst intoughter. "Elijah, you''re so childish!"
