Chapter 186


    Chapter 186 Evie Is Turning Over a New Leaf


    Eason sat across from Cordelia.


    He silently watched Cordelia as she cried, offering her tissues without uttering a word offort.


    And Eason''s actions happened to be what Cordelia needed at that moment.


    She didn''t want to pour out her feelings at this moment. She just wanted to vent alone.


    Later, after she had cried enough, she started eating heartily.


    The stew at this ce was delicious. She had two bowls of it.


    Feeling full and satisfied, Cordelia finally asked Eason, "Eason, how did youe here?"


    "I came to investigate an herbalist in this area. Milo told me you were here, so I came to check on you,"


    Eason replied casually.


    Cordelia knew in such a small ce, besides Milo telling him, it would be hard for anyone else to find


    her.


    "Eason, I''m not in a good mood, and I just wanted some time alone. So I..." Cordelia said with an


    apologized expression.


    "I understand. I just came to see how you''re doing, and I''ll leave soon," Eason said with a knowing


    look.


    Cordelia smiled then. "Thank you, Eason, for understanding."


    Sensing Cordelia''s alienation, Eason didn''t disturb her any further. He got up and bid his farewell right


    there.


    Back in her room, Cordelia took a shower, and her mood improved significantly.


    As shey on the bed, lost in her thoughts, she realized her attitude toward Eason had been too distant


    and cold. She felt a twinge of guilt.


    Even though Eason happened to be nearby for business, he purposely came to this remote little ce


    to find her. That alone showed his concern, yet Cordelia hadn''t even said a simple thank you...


    She didn''t know where she had found the audacity back then as if it were a matter of course.


    "Ah, what did I do!" Cordelia turned over, burying her head in the pillow.


    Despite her regret, Cordelia didn''t immediately contact Eason. It wasn''t until the following morning that


    she reached out to him.


    "Eason, I was in a bad mood yesterday and forgot to ask. Did you have something to discuss with me


    when you came to find me?"


    Eason said in a deep voice, "Let''s meet and talk. It''s not a big deal. Don''t worry about it."


    "I n to visit a nearby town today. Join me!" Cordelia suggested.


    "Okay," Eason quickly responded.


    Property belongs to N?vel(D)r/ama.Org.


    And so, throughout the day, the two of them wandered around the nearby town.


    The ce had a rustic charm, with beautiful scenery and few people. Cordelia quite liked it.


    She bought an umbre and sat on the railings by the bridge, tilting her head back with closed eyes,


    savoring the tranquility of the surroundings.


    From a distance, Eason, sitting in a small coffee shop, caught sight of her. He took out his phone,


    captured the scene, and sent the photos to Milo.


    Milo was delighted upon seeing the pictures, especially the one where Eason was sitting in the coffee


    shop, capturing Cordelia. Milo instructed his assistant to post it on Facebook.


    The caption was simple.


    [Evie is turning over a new leaf.]


    Meanwhile, Elijah was workingte at the office when he received a notification on his phone.


    He nced at it and saw that it was Ben sending him two pictures. He immediately opened them.


    One was a screenshot from Milo''s Facebook post,plete with caption and image. The other was the


    image.


    It was Cordelia.


    At just one nce, Elijah recognized her.


    She sat alone by the bridge as if blending into a painting, exuding a hazy beauty.


    But soon, the gentle gleam in Elijah''s eyes dimmed bit by bit.


    It was because he noticed that the photo was taken by Eason.


    At that moment, Eason should have been sitting in a coffee shop with a mirror on the wall.


    A corner of the mirror was captured in the photo, reflecting Eason''s half-body.
