Chapter 209


    Chapter 209 It Must Be Her


    Cordelia''s lips curled into a confident smile as she spoke.


    Elijah was stunned. Then, he rushed forward, holding her hand tightly. "Are you hurt? Is your hand


    okay?"


    "I''m fine." Cordelia was surprised but remained calm. She said, "Elijah, I guess now you can


    understand why I want to stay away from you as far as possible."


    Elijah''s expression became gloomy. He certainly understood why.


    However, it wasn''t his fault, and he shouldn''t be forced to suffer the consequences.


    So, Elijah looked at Daisy sullenly and said, "Whoever promised to be engaged to your family will be


    your fiancé. I''ll make things clear for you today!"

    But Daisy didn''t want to hear it.


    Her intuition told her that what Elijah said next would only make her painful.


    However, before she could refuse, Elijah said loudly, "My girlfriend, fiancée, wife, and the mother of my


    future child can only be Cordelia. You''d better stop thinking about it!"


    Daisy was shocked.


    She staggered back, and her face darkened.


    Daisy couldn''t figure out why they were still so close after their divorce.


    This just couldn''t happen!


    Thinking of this, Daisy screamed and said, "No, Elijah! Your wife should be me! Me!"


    Back then, she had already lost to Cordelia once, and she couldn''t bear to lose to this bumpkin again.


    At this moment, Cordelia was already immersed in astonishment.


    She didn''t expect Elijah to suddenly say such things.


    Cordelia didn''t know how she was feeling.


    Maybe she was excited, doubtful, confused, and even a bit excited.


    All in all, Cordelia had veryplicated feelings.


    And now, Elijah was standing right next to her, holding her hand tightly.


    His actions, words, and the look in his eyes were so sincere that Cordelia couldn''t detect a trace of


    acting.


    Her heart raced, and she used all her willpower to resist the urge to embrace him.


    Instinctively, she knew she couldn''t.


    Suddenly, Elijah let go of her hand and pulled her into his arms instead.


    Then, his maic voice sounded above her head. "Daiss, I warn you, if I ever find out that you''re


    causing trouble for Cordelia again, I will not only deal with you but with your entire family. I always keep


    my word!"


    "Don''t you dare!"


    Daisy was extremely shocked.


    Had Elijah gone mad? Was he willing to go up against her entire family for a woman who had grown up


    in the countryside?


    "If you think I won''t dare, then you''re wee to try. Let''s see if I can make your family disappear!"


    Elijah said without hesitation.


    Then, he didn''t say anything else and left the club while holding Cordelia.


    Daisy watched them leave. Elijah was holding Cordelia cautiously, preventing her from getting hurt.


    Seeing this, Daisy gritted her teeth in hatred.


    She turned around fiercely, but her anger quickly turned to shock.


    Not far away, the group of socialites who had surrounded her earlier was huddled in a corner of the


    corridor. Daisy had no idea how long they had been there.


    Maybe, they saw everything that had happened just now.


    At that moment, Daisy felt extremely humiliated. Her reputation in Beilve City''s high society which she


    had tried so hard to build after returning from abroad had crumbled to dust.


    "Cordelia! Why didn''t you die in that car ident? I''ll kill you sooner orter!" Daisy secretly cursed


    Cordelia ferociously.


    ...


    Cordelia and Elijah arrived at the underground parking lot.


    It waste at night, and the echoes of their footsteps sounded in the deserted parking area.


    "Why, Elijah?"


    Cordelia gazed down and asked softly.


    She didn''t know why Elijah insisted that his wife must be her. Was it because he liked her?
