Chapter 189 Three More Months
Emrys feigned disappointment and said, “Alas, you’re truly astute, Ms. Ginger. I can’t believe you saw right through my thoughts. But this isn’t something that can be decided by me alone!”
Lydia immediately understood his intentions and turned to Cordelia, saying, “Cordelia, tell me, do you like Emrys?”
“Huh?”
Cordelia was puzzled, wondering how her parents had suddenly changed so drastically. Hearing Lydia’s question, she was momentarily taken aback before responding, “Of course I like Rys! He’s my younger brother!”
“Are you sure you only like him as a brother?” Lydia continued to ask.
“Of-
Before the words could leave Cordelia’s mouth, she met Lydia’s questioning gaze, which instantly plunged her heart into chaos.
How could I possibly not like Emrys? How could I not harbor feelings for Emrys, when my heart ached with jealousy upon seeing him being intimate with my sisters?
“L…”
At that moment, Cordelia, who was usually an aloof and domineering CEO, behaved like a little girl whose secrets had been exposed. She was so flustered that she couldn’t even speak clearly. Her pretty face was flushed red, and she stole a glance at Emrys, only to find him looking at her with a teasing expression on his face.
That made her feel even more embarrassed.
In a fit of embarrassed rage, she rushed forward and fiercely beat Emrys. Richard and his wife were unable to hold her back.
“Speak up! Tell me, what exactly did you do to my parents, huh?”
Cordelia grabbed a pillow and began to pummel Emrys, partly because she genuinely didn’t know what had happened to her parents, and partly to mask the shyness she felt inside.
Even if you wanted me to admit that I like you, it wouldn’t be a problem. But don’t you realize that your teasing expression, while looking at me, is embarrassing me a lot? I must establish my position in this family today!
Cordelia vented for a full two minutes before she finally stopped. In the end, she didn’t forget to fiercely pinch Emrys‘ waist. Then, with her pretty face flushed red, she returned to her own bedroom and covered her head with a blanket.
Emrys felt speechless.
I didn’t say anything at all, so how did I end up getting beaten up for no apparent reason?
