Chapter 134


    hapter 134 A Husband Of Equal Status


    Feeling the weight of the past and the pain of abandonment, Cordelia contemted 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 exnation, her heart began to soften. They had thought


    she was dead and entrusted her b*dy to a priest for a proper burial. The revtion 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 extensivework of the Seventy–two Shadow Forces under hismand, 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 spection based on recent events and the words of the old friar.


    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 exin 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 youprehend 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 rtionship 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 pauseter, 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.”
