Chapter 215 Interview The Empyrean Lord
Jacqueline was happy when Emrys agreed. “That’s great! I’ll go see the chancellor tomorrow to apply for the establishment of a traditional medicine short course.”
Oops… I let it slip.
Jacqueline had stated that the university had already decided to start a traditional medicine short course and intended to hire Emrys as the teacher. However, based on what she just said, it sounded like she was only going to meet the chancellor because Emrys had agreed to take on the job.
Those were two entirely different concepts.
Will he see through my intentions?
Jacqueline had butterflies in her stomach, and her cheeks were flushed red as she stole a glance at Emrys. She only let out a sigh of relief when Emrys didn’t seem to mind. Then, she cheerfully returned to her room to write her application report.
Roger also wore a cheerful expression on his face, but he couldn’t resist asking, “Dr. Lund, have Richard and Lydia been giving you a hard time lately?”
He was sounding Emrys out, hoping to hear Emrys reply in the affirmative.
The more Richard and Lydia made things difficult for Emrys, the greater the.obstacles between their daughter, Cordelia, and Emrys.
Roger took pleasure in witnessing that.
Of course, he’d never say that out loud, lest he upset Emrys and get accused of gloating at others‘ misfortune.
Emrys shook his head. “No. They’ve been particularly nice to me lately, especially Lydia. She keeps calling me her son–in–law. It’s making me feel embarrassed.”
“What?” Roger was shocked. His mood soured as he observed Emrys‘ expression and realized the latter seemed serious.
How dare you, Lydia? You were the one who said you’d never allow Emrys to set foot in your home! How could you go back on your word? D*mn it! I’m going to confront that woman someday!
Emrys smiled meaningfully upon seeing the frustrated expression on Roger’s face and didn’t expose the latter’s thoughts. After bidding them goodbye, he left the Balford residence and returned to the hotel.
Ninette had just woken up and clung to Emrys‘ arm, saying happily, “Rys, I just had a wonderful dream. Guess who appeared in my dream?”
Empyrean Lord?
