    Chapter 291 I Already Have a Boyfriend


    Elijah chuckled self-deprecatingly and said, "Cordelia, I''m absolutely sick of this hereditary family


    system. How is this still happening in the modern society?"


    "But your family is indeed very powerful," Cordelia sighed.


    With his own power, Elijah effortlessly brought down the entire Watts family, making them history in


    Beilve City overnight. The Hansen family in Beilve City was an invincible force that couldn''t be shaken.


    Cordelia knew very well that if Elijah left his family, everything in the future would be uncertain.


    It took great courage to make such a decision.


    No wonder Milo wanted Cordelia to stay in Grant City. On the one hand, he didn''t want her to get


    involved in this turmoil, and on the other hand, he was testing Elijah''s abilities and courage.


    "Cordelia, will you wait for me?" Elijah suddenly asked.


    Cordelia was lost in thought for a moment beforeing back to her senses. "Yes, I will."


    Elijah seemed visibly relieved and let out a sigh. "Cordelia, you scared me."


    Just now, he had been holding his breath and waiting for Cordelia''s answer.


    That brief moment of hesitation from Cordelia felt like a century to him.


    Cordeliaughed lightly and said, "I wasn''t hesitant. It''s just that you suddenly asked me such a serious


    question, and I couldn''t react in time."


    "I can tell that you''re not forcing yourself," Elijah said seriously.


    "Everything is temporary. Elijah, don''t worry," Cordelia reassured him.


    Her voice sounded even softer through the phone, soothing Elijah''s anxious mood.


    Later, they apanied each other into dreand through a video call, just like before.


    In the afternoon, Mia invited Cordelia to her home.


    At that time, Eason was also by Cordelia''s side. Seeing her hesitant expression, Eason spoke up,


    "Cordelia, my mother currently lives alone, and she might feel a bit lonely, so she''s usually very

    hospitable."


    Upon hearing this, Cordelia immediately agreed.


    After all, if she only had to deal with Mia alone, Cordelia was willing to be a guest.


    So, that night, Cordelia went to Mia''s apartment for dinner.


    Mia lived in a prime location, upying 2150 square feet t.


    There were servants in the apartment, and the chef prepared the dinner.


    When Mia saw Eason bringing Cordelia in, her eyes lit up with a smile.


    "Cordelia,e in and have a seat. Have some fruits first, and we will start dinner soon."


    After thanking Mia, Cordelia sat down on the sofa in the living room and chatted with her.


    When Cordelia mentioned her studio, Mia immediately took out a few pieces of thetest season''s


    designs. "Cordelia, you are truly talented. Whoever marries you, he is truly fortunate!"


    As she spoke, Mia nced at Eason, her eyes filled with implications.


    Cordelia felt a bit uneasy. Based on Mia''s taste, she shouldn''t be purchasing clothes from their mid-


    range brand.


    Cordelia suddenly seemed to have an answer.


    She couldn''t help but look at Eason. Seeing the warm smile on his face, she was momentarily stunned.


    It seemed that the rtionship between Eason and Mia was very harmonious, and his smile right now


    was truly warm.


    Carefully considering Mia''s words, Cordelia hurriedly exined, "Ms. Mia Hond, I already have a


    boyfriend. I introduced him to youst time, don''t you remember?"


    Coincidentally, as soon as Cordelia finished speaking, Eason got up and went to answer a phone call.


    Mia nced at Eason''s back, smiled lightly, and then looked at Cordelia, asking, "Cordelia, where is


    your boyfriend from? What does he do?"


    As she spoke, Mia discreetly clenched her hand, her nails deeply digging into her palm.
