Seeing Cordelia remain silent for a long time, Imogen continued, "Cordelia, although I don't have much relationship experience, there is one thing I know. As long as Ben tries to improve, I'm willing to tolerate his shortcomings."
"I know," Cordelia said with self-derision, "I'm indeed selfish. I always want to protect myself. I'll immediately retreat to my safe zone if I encounter a slight setback."
Imogen nodded. "That is true. However, this may have something to do with your personality. If I like a man, I'll tell him immediately, even if it is just a momentary feeling."
Cordelia shook her head and said thoughtfully, "Let me think about it."
Her heart still trembled when she thought of Elijah stubbornly holding her hand, with his eyes slightly red.
At that moment, she really wanted to forget everything and hold him, saying, "Elijah, we're not breaking up. We'll never break up."
However, her rationality still overcame her impulse.
"Oh, by the way, did Ben tell you that Elijah recently found a psychological counselor to guide him to fall asleep?"
Cordelia's eyes gradually turned cold as she spoke, and she quickly suppressed all her emotions.
"No, what is going on?" asked Imogen curiously.
So, Cordelia told Imogen what had happened last night.
Imogen sighed on the other end of the phone, "Cordelia, do you have a feeling that breaking up is just your wishful thinking? Elijah still relies on you and regards you as his partner.
"Otherwise, if he is single and faced with such an experienced beauty, he can just go with the flow and have fun first. After all, no one will notice it."
Cordelia pursed her lips. "That doesn't explain anything."
If Elijah was that kind of person, Cordelia would have stopped liking him long ago, and she wouldn't be in such a dilemma.
As the day of accompanying Imogen abroad approached, Cordelia had already handed over all her work.
However, to avoid raising suspicions from others, as long as Cordelia was still in the country, she would continue to handle all of her work herself.
[Cordelia, Ben invited me to dinner today, and I agreed. Let's consider it a final farewell!]
Although the previous misunderstanding with his celebrity cousin had been cleared up, Imogen still decided to go abroad for her delivery and cut off contact with Ben.
It was because not long ago, she received threats from an unknown number that warned her to be cautious about her safety, as there could be potential harm to her and her unborn twins.
Imogen didn't tell anyone about this incident.
