    Chapter 144 Start Over


    For a long time, the two of them remained locked in a passionate kiss.


    Cordelia felt Elijah''s kisses, sometimes intense like a storm and sometimes gentle like a breeze,


    leaving her mind in chaos.


    Elijah held her waist tightly, not giving her any chance to escape, just like he would never let their


    rtionship slip away. He kissed her passionately and refused to let her go.


    But where could Cordelia escape now?


    "Elijah... You''re truly the most domineering man I''ve ever met," Cordelia leaned against his chest while


    panting, trying to protest.


    "Sometimes, I don''t even know how to deal with you," Elijah whispered tenderly in her ear.


    Cordelia had mixed feelings, unsure of what to say.


    Elijah clearly didn''t love her, but he often did things that seemed like he did and spoke as if he wanted


    her to stay by his side forever.


    But in fact, he had no understanding of love and never put in any emotional effort.


    What was the point of continuing like this?


    Perhaps the pressure from his family was preventing him from divorcing her?


    Since she couldn''t persuade him, she would have to rely on the elders to solve this problem after giving


    birth.


    With her decision made, Cordelia cast a cold and distant look at Elijah.


    Their conversation temporarily ceased, and they continued to stroll through the mountain valley.


    As they went deeper, there were fewer and fewer tourists.


    Cordelia enjoyed the feeling of being close to nature at this moment, and even the difort in her


    body seemed to lessen.


    As a result, her mood also began to improve.


    "I smell barbecue," Cordelia rubbed her stomach, feeling a bit hungry.


    Elijah nced at the terrain map by the roadside and said, "It should be up ahead."


    He then looked at Cordelia and said, "Should I carry you? You''ve walked quite a distance."


    Cordelia turned to look at him and smiled, "You''re not afraid of getting tired, are you? Well, if I don''t


    give you a chance to show off, I might seem a bit unreasonable."


    Elijah chuckled and directly carried her up. "Don''t underestimate me. If you weren''t pregnant, I could


    carry you up the mountain."


    Cordelia looked away and smiled bitterly. "It seems like you''ve carried Eva up the mountain before."


    "No. Don''t think too much." Elijah immediately denied, though his words made it hard not to specte.


    Mainly because his words were difficult to interpret any other way.


    Elijah lowered his head and looked at Cordelia''s face for a while. Finally, he found arge rock and


    ced her on it, then squatted in front of her.


    "How should I make you stop your wild thoughts?"


    Elijah held Cordelia''s hand and ced it on his chest. "Maybe I should let you dig out my heart to see if


    it''s full of sincerity."


    Cordelia was taken aback and thenughed. "You''re being really cheesy."


    "I''m being serious. How is that cheesy?" Elijah said in all seriousness without any intention of joking.


    Cordelia covered her mouth and smiled brightly.


    Elijah stood up, cradled her face, and kissed her forehead gently. "I''ll try to make youugh more in the


    future. You look beautiful when you smile."


    Cordelia lowered her head, and her face blushing slightly.


    During their three years of marriage, she and Elijah rarely had such leisurely and peaceful moments.


    If only from the beginning, they could have been a normal couple, getting to know each other slowly


    and bing familiar with each other. How wonderful would that have been?


    Unfortunately, there was no way back now.


    Elijah hugged her and pressed her against his chest.

    "Cordelia, can we start over? Starting from right now."
