    Chapter 146 What It Should Be Like


    On this stormy night, they shared the same bed under one nket.


    Throughout the night, Elijah was worried about Cordelia getting cold, so he held her tightly.


    Cordelia watched the raindrops hit the window pane without feeling the slightest bit sleepy.


    She suddenly remembered something and turned to Elijah, asking, “You’ve been practically missing in


    action since noon. Aren’t you worried thepany might have some urgent matters to discuss with


    you?”


    If she remembered correctly, his usually busy phone hadn’t rung all day.


    “I turned off my phone and told my assistant to contact my father if it was really urgent,” Elijah replied


    carelessly.


    Cordelia burst intoughter.


    “Dad hasn’t cared about thepany’s affairs for a long time. You really caused him a big trouble.”


    Elijah wanted to say that Cordelia and the kid mattered the


    most.


    But of course, he would never say that out loud.


    Although apparently, he started to favor them.


    “However, you should not be so willful in the future. I understand how much care it takes to run a


    “Ok, I get it.”


    Elijah replied with a very careless attitude.


    He didn’t like being restricted by others unless he willingly epted it.


    However, Cordelia’sment made him realize that maybe she didn’t enjoy being constantly watched

    by him either.


    “Cordelia, what do you think a normal married life should be like?”


    Cordelia was taken aback by Elijah’s question.


    “Grandma said that an ordinary married life is just daily necessities.


    “In the past, when everyone lived a difficult life, Grandma and Grandpa worked hard all day to make


    money and make life better.


    “But of course, their experience isn’t for every couple.”


    Elijah thought for a while and then asked, “Then what do you think?”


    “Do you care about my opinion?” She blurted out without thinking.


    But as soon as she said so, she regretted sounding so self-absorbed.


    Elijah didn’t answer immediately. “Just tell me what you think.”


    Cordelia lowered her gaze, her eyshes trembling slightly. “First, I’d want to marry someone I don’t


    dislike, and of course, he shouldn’t dislike me either.


    “He doesn’t need to be very handsome or ambitious, and he definitely doesn’t need to be wealthy. As


    long as he has a good character, is mentally healthy, and emotionally stable, that’s enough.”


    Elijah’s face darkened for a moment.


    He didn’t expect that Cordelia, such an outstanding woman, would have such low expectations for her


    future partner.


    “So, you think I don’t fit these criteria?”


    After all, he was handsome, ambitious, wealthy, had a good character, was mentally healthy, and


    emotionally stable. Well, at least, he considered himself to be.


    Cordelia’s cheeks turned slightly red. She buried her face in the nket, afraid that Elijah would notice


    her reaction.


    “No. It’s just that I never thought about it.”


    When Cordelia found out that her marriage partner was Elijah, she went to confirm this news with


    Janice three times.


    Until she was sure that she was going to marry Elijah, her excitement was beyond words, and she even


    drove her newly bought BMW into a wall.


    But at that time, Cordelia didn’t feel distressed at all and waspletely immersed in her imagination


    of the future.


    Nobody could understand how dizzying it was to suddenly find out that her fiancé was the person she


    had secretly admired for two years.


    Elijah didn’t notice Cordelia’s embarrassment and continued to immerse himself in the question. “Well,


    you can think about it now.”
