Wake Up! You’re My Ex Now (Cordelia) novel Chapter 136

"It is true. Jacob and I saw it. Jacob is a gentleman. He looked away immediately. It was embarrassing."

Lamia talked endlessly, and Cordelia listened with gusto.

Edith was so angry that the veins on her forehead stood out. "It's outrageous. Daisy looked knowledgeable and sensible. I didn't expect her to be a loose woman!"

Lamia smiled, "Mom, it is nothing to be surprised at. It's normal. Many strange women approach Elijah like a moth to the flame..."

Cordelia frowned.

Like a moth to the flame.

What a good metaphor.

Falling in love with a man like Elijah would bring destruction to Cordelia.

"Anyway, Elijah and Jacob are pretty good among those rich young men," Lamia said without paying attention to her mother's expression.

Cordelia hadn't spoken for a long time, so Edith said, "Cordelia, the men in our family are dedicated. I can assure you of this. But you have to be careful. Some women like to play dirty tricks."

Cordelia nodded obediently. She lowered her head and frowned.

Marriage required two people to work together. It was useless for her to work hard alone.

After experiencing those things before, Cordelia didn't care about it anymore. Elijah could do whatever he liked. At worst, they would get a divorce. There was nothing to be afraid of.

After leaving Lamia's room, Cordelia passed by Gideon's study and heard Gideon scolding Elijah again.

"You're an adult, but I have to solve your problems at such an old age. If you didn't promise Daisy, why did she complain to me? You should solve this as soon as possible, and don't let Cordelia know."

Cordelia didn't continue listening and left in a hurry.

After a while, Elijah walked downstairs. He saw Cordelia sitting upright on the sofa and immediately strode forward.
