hapter 134 A Husband Of Equal Status

Feeling the weight of the past and the pain of abandonment, Cordelia contemplated her options.

Twenty–five years they abandoned her, and she didn’t feel obligated to acknowledge them as her

parents.

She wasn’t that generous.

A mere apology would not suffice to make up for the pain and abandonment she had endured for

twenty–five years.

As Cordelia listened to Richard and Lydia’s explanation, her heart began to soften. They had thought

she was dead and entrusted her b*dy to a priest for a proper burial. The revelation shattered the

resentment that had held a grip on her for so long.

Cordelia realized that their actions had stemmed from a tragic misunderstanding, and they, too, had

endured immense suffering in their own way.

The three of them came together in a family hug and burst into tears.

As Emrys, Caylie, and Yelena observed the unfolding reunion between Cordelia and her parents, a

mixture of emotions surged within them.

They couldn’t help but feel genuine happiness for Cordelia upon witnessing her reconciliation with her

long–lost family. However, their own past as orphans from the Sunshine Children’s Home cast a

shadow over their hearts.

Emrys didn’t know how to express his feelings.

With an extensive network of the Seventy–two Shadow Forces under his command, with two–thirds of

their influence spanning across international borders and only one–third focused within Chanaea, it

should pose no difficulty for him to uncover the backgrounds of himself and the girls.

Nevertheless, prior to his departure from the monastery half a decade ago, the wise old friar had

advised Emrys to allow destiny to unfold naturally when he sought information about his true identity.

He was telling Emrys not to delve into his own background as the answers would be revealed in due

time.

Perhaps it wasn’t a coincidence that the girls and he were sent to Sunshine Children’s Home.

Someone had orchestrated this arrangement deliberately, with the intention of fostering a deep bond

between Emrys and the girls.

Emrys had formed this speculation based on recent events and the words of the old friar. NôvelDrama.Org content rights.

That thought terrified him.

Pondering over the intricate scheme unfolding before him, Emrys couldn’t shake off his curiosity about

the involvement of the old friar in this grand design. How did the friar fit into the equation, and what

connection did he have with Skybright, the name that Richard and Lydia had mentioned earlier?

“You are Emrys Lund, right?”

Chapter 134 A Husband of Equal Status

Emrys was deep in thought when Richard’s voice pulled him out of his reverie. “Can we talk

somewhere else?”

Hearing that. Emrys bobbed his head.

Both men stepped out of the mansion, seeking privacy for their conversation. Richard observed Emrys

in silence for a moment before finally speaking up. “First and foremost, I want to extend my heartfelt

appreciation for looking after Cordelia. If there’s anything you need or any requests you have, please

don’t hesitate to inform me. The Youngblood family is prepared to fulfill any reasonable demand within

our means.”

“Mr. Youngblood, I actually-”

“Hush now, and let me finish speaking.”

As Emrys was preparing to explain that he was simply fulfilling his duty in looking after Cordelia,

Richard cut him short. At once, a hint of displeasure appeared in Emrys‘ gaze.

Richard Youngblood is quite assertive, huh?

After a brief pause, Richard resumed speaking, “I don’t want to see you pestering Cordelia anymore.

Having neglected her for the past twenty–five years, it is our responsibility to bring her back into the

embrace of the Youngblood family and provide her with proper care. Additionally, I will ensure she is

matched with a husband of equal status. Emrys, I trust you comprehend the implications behind my

words.”

With that, Richard fixed Emrys with a warning look. His words were clearly a veiled threat.

To him, Emrys and Cordelia’s relationship wasn’t that simple. Otherwise, they wouldn’t have stepped

out of the hotel that day with her intimately hugging his arm.

Besides, Cordelia seemed lightheaded when Emrys entered the hotel with her in his arms that day.

Richard refused to believe that Emrys was gentlemanly enough not to take advantage of her in the

hotel room.

He wasn’t going to take offense over that matter anymore as long as Emrys stopped pestering Cordelia

in the future.

A tense silence filled the air.

A brief pause later, Emrys broke the silence with a soft chuckle. “Richard, I was polite enough to

address you as ‘Mr. Youngblood‘ as you’re Delia’s father. Were it not for that, I must warn you that there

would have been grave consequences for treating me in such a manner.”
