Chapter 154 The Montelongo Residence
For a moment, Zeke was taken aback. He retorted, “Stop spouting nonsense! Don’t think I’m ignorant. Richard only has one son who is in university. If you’re trying to play the hero, at least pick the right person. Do you think I am so easily fooled?”
Zeke didn’t take Myles‘ words seriously at all. He gave him a cold glance, then turned around and strode away.
After leaving the restaurant, Richard and Lydia did not follow the group to Tulip Valley, so as not to put too much pressure on Cordelia.
When it came to love, their role as parents was merely to create opportunities. The rest was left to the younger ones to figure out on their own.
“Honey, do you think this match will be successful? Somehow, it seems uncertain to me.”
During their meal together today, Lydia increasingly felt that she had underestimated her daughter’s feelings for Emrys. Surprisingly, her daughter was indifferent to a man as outstanding as Myles. Both of these were what she never expected.
Richard gave a wry smile, feeling equally pessimistic in his heart. After a moment of silence, he suddenly asked, “If Cordelia only has feelings for Lund, what will you do?”
“I absolutely won’t agree to it!” Lydia blurted out.
Her impression of Emrys was extremely unfavorable, especially after what had happened at Verdant Estate. Emrys‘ arrogant and ignorant demeanor had left a sour taste in Lydia’s mouth. Every time she thought about it, she felt a surge of resentment.
What right does a child who grew up in an orphanage have to be so arrogant? He even claimed that he could provide the best life for Cordelia, which is simply a pipe dream!
Richard hesitated for a moment before saying, “Actually, you should have known by now what kind of personality Cordelia has. We have failed her for twenty–five years. If, I mean if, she breaks ties with our family for the sake of that Lund boy…”
“That’s absolutely impossible! The path we choose for her is indeed the best one!”
“However, Cordelia doesn’t see it that way.”
Richard glanced at Lydia, aware of his wife’s somewhat obstinate nature, yet he couldn’t help but say, “She already has her own social circle and is quite content with her current life. What we perceive as good for her might actually be a burden in her eyes.”
“Honey, what happened to you today…”
