Journey Of Me And My Seven Sisters

A commotion instantly broke out among the staff of Cordelia Group. “Did the icy Ms. Youngblood really

just lash out at Mr. Kane for a toy boy? Has she lost her mind?” “But the Sheldon family is the biggest

distributor of Cordelia Group!” “Indeed, this proves again that once a woman is taken over by their

emotions, they completely lose their rationality. Look, even a woman as strong as Ms. Youngblood is no

exception to this law of nature.” The gossips began spreading. Cordelia couldn’t be bothered to

entertain Kane anymore. She walked straight out of Cordelia Group, dragging Emrys with her.

Unfortunately, however, they ran into Gavin right outside the building. Gavin’s character had not

changed a single bit. The moment he saw Cordelia, he fell to his knees. “Delia, please loan me another

two hundred thousand. I swear, this is really the last time!” It turned out Gavin had not used the

previous two hundred thousand that Cordelia had given him to pay off his debts. Instead, thinking that

he could make a profit, he gambled the money away again. “Get lost! You disgust me!” As Cordelia

was already in a foul mood, Gavin was only running into a line of fire by approaching her. It was not

surprising that his endeavor turned out to be unfruitful. The Porsche roared to life and sped off. On the

way back, Emrys looked at Cordelia’s stern profile and apologized guiltily, “I’m sorry, Delia.” It’s only my

first day back, and I’ve already caused so much trouble for Delia. How impressive! Cordelia’s

expression softened as she responded, “What are you talking about, Rys? It wasn’t your fault.” She

had long since gotten fed up with Kane’s constant pestering but had always tried to keep things civil

between them, considering that he was their distributor. Even if Emrys was not present on this day, the

conflict between them was inevitable. “Delia, I’ve given it some serious thought, but I really don’t think

the position of HR manager is suitable for me.” Screech! Cordelia slammed her foot on the brakes and

turned sideways to glare at Emrys, snapping, “Do you care about those rumors as well? We haven’t

done anything wrong. Why do we need to be afraid of people gossiping behind our backs?” This time,

she was truly furious. Cordelia could not care less about the rumors spreading among the staff in the

office, but Emrys’ words broke her heart. “No, it’s not like that, Delia. You’ve misunderstood,” Emrys

hurriedly explained. “It has nothing to do with the rumors. I’m simply too used to having freedom and

don’t think I’m a good fit for managing a company.” After a moment’s silence, Cordelia finally sighed

and agreed, saying, “All right, then, so long as you’re happy.” “By the way, Delia, isn’t there going to be

a press conference for a product launch the day after tomorrow?” “Yeah. I’m a little worried now. I keep

having this feeling that Kane and Allure Group aren’t going to let the matter go easily.” Cordelia Group

had planned to hold a press conference, mainly to introduce their soon-to-be-launched product. They

had even booked the reporters in advance. However, judging from recent events, the press conference

might not go as smoothly as they had hoped, and the thought of that gave Cordelia a massive

headache. They soon arrived at Verdant Estate, where Cordelia resided. It was a mansion surrounded

by lush gardens with colorful butterflies dancing among the flowers. Whenever Cordelia pushed open

the door to the yard, she would be greeted by the natural fragrance of the flowers, and all her worries

would melt away. Emrys glanced around and exclaimed, “Delia, do you live here alone in this huge

place?” “Yeah. Your other sisters are all pretty busy lately and rarely come here. If you hadn’t insisted

on keeping your return a secret, I would have definitely called them home tonight.” Cordelia had

changed into casual wear and was even wearing a top with a cartoon printed on it, looking rather

adorable. It was as if she had transformed from a high and mighty ice queen to a regular girl next door

in an instant. “Go watch some television in the living room, Rys. I’ll make some dinner,” Cordelia said.

“No need to prepare anything fancy, Delia. Just some pasta will do.” “Are you sure that’s not too…

simple?” “Not at all. I still remember when we were little, we never had many snacks to eat. You would

always secretly cook pasta for us using Mr. Olman’s cooking utensils. It would be nice to take a trip

down memory lane.” “Well, all right, then!” With that, Cordelia transformed into a petite cook, bustling

about in the kitchen. Not long after, she came out, holding two plates of steaming pasta. Emrys

devoured the food, complimenting as he ate, “Mmm… It’s the very same taste, Delia. I haven’t tasted

this in a long while.” “If you like it, I can make this for you every day for the rest of your life.” Watching

Emrys polishing the plate, Cordelia smiled with satisfaction. When she was about to clear the dishes,

Emrys beat her to it. He stood up and said, “Let me take care of it, Delia. Look at your delicate hands.

You don’t want to hurt them with the dishwashing liquid.” “Hmm, looks like you’ve turned into a caring

little brother!” Cordelia’s lips curved into a gratified smile, and she did not insist on helping. “I’ll go take

a shower, then.” She then went into the bathroom. It was only after she had finished showering that she

was struck by a sudden realization. Ah, I forgot my nightgown! There had never been men in the

house. Cordelia was used to simply walking out of the bathroom when she was done showering, and

the other sisters did the same. Looking at the dirty clothes that she had thrown into the washing

machine earlier, Cordelia sank into deep thought. Should I wear those back? Finally, she simply

grabbed a white towel, thinking of quietly sneaking back to her room while Emrys was watching

television. However, before she reached the room, she slipped. “Ouch!” “Are you all right, Delia?” “No,

don’t—” Before Cordelia could finish her sentence, Emrys had appeared before her, and her delicate

face instantly flushed bright red. Emrys, too, was dumbfounded. What’s going on? The moment he

heard Delia’s shriek, he had dashed to her, only to see that she had fallen down. After being stunned

for a moment, he swiftly snapped back to his senses and strode toward Cordelia, sweeping her into his

arms. “Rys…” The blush on Cordelia’s cheeks turned even more intense, and her heart pounded wildly

in her chest. Although they were close as siblings, they did not have any blood relation. Cordelia could

not help but feel nervous. He won’t try to do anything, will he? At that moment, Emrys broke the

silence. “Do you keep any antiseptic ointment in the house?” “Y-Yes, there’s a bottle in the cabinet

underneath the television.” After placing Cordelia on the bed, Emrys turned at once and left the room to

look for the antiseptic ointment and cotton swabs. Seizing the opportunity, Cordelia quickly put her

nightgown on. “You scraped your knee. Here, let me apply some antiseptic ointment for you.” Emrys

dipped the cotton swab into the bottle of antiseptic ointment and carefully dabbed the wound on

Cordelia’s knee with it. “I-I’ll do it myself!” Cordelia’s voice trembled slightly. Although she had worn her

nightgown, it was rather thin, and she could not help but feel a little embarrassed facing Emrys like that.

“Don’t move!” Emrys growled softly with a stern expression. Cordelia was slightly taken aback and

subsequently buried her face in her blankets in utter embarrassment. This is so incredibly

embarrassing! At the same time, she realized her little brother seemed to have become rather

domineering as well. Emrys slept very soundly that night. When he woke up the next morning, Cordelia

had left for the office. She had prepared breakfast for him, which she left in the living room and was

attached with a lovely little note that said: Naughty boy, don’t forget your breakfast! There was also a

smiley face drawn at the bottom. Emrys’ heart was brimming with happiness. Delia may be known as a

cold person to outsiders, but at home, she’s definitely a sweet and caring sister. I won’t let her suffer

any grievances. As the thought ran through his mind, a co
