Richard froze momentarily at his words.
Emrys continued calmly, “Let me remind you that you are not in a position to dictate or instruct me on my relationship with Delia.
If I ever hear you utter such words again, I will not hesitate to teach you a lesson, even if you’re Delia’s father.”
With that, he spun on his heels and returned to the living room.
At the same time, Richard could barely hide his shock.
Emrys might be young, but he’s intimidating. He nearly intimidated me even though I’m the head of the Youngblood family. Just
how confident is he?
Despite Richard’s initial bewilderment, he quickly calmed down and shot Emrys a look. He’s only in his twenties. How capable
can he be? He’s most probably putting up a bluff. Yes, that must be it.
Richard felt a rush of emotions before he returned to the living room.
While Richard engaged in conversation with Emrys, Lydia took the opportunity to have a heartfelt discussion with Cordelia in her
room. Lydia expressed her desire for Cordelia to abandon her current life and return to the Youngblood family, emphasizing that
they could offer her a superior and more promising future.
Nevertheless, Cordelia stood her ground and expressed her firm stance. “If you are here to truly accept me as your daughter, I
Emrys, and I am content with the life I have built. I hope I won’t hear you mention this topic ever again.”
In the end, they parted ways on a sour note.
Richard sighed. “Perhaps we’re too hasty. We‘ shouldn’t expect Cordelia to come home with us immediately after meeting her.
It’s only natural for her to feel resistant. Let’s take things slowly and give her the time she needs.”
Lydia nodded. “That’s the only way. I hope she can understand that we only mean well.”
Before their departure, Lydia discreetly called Emrys aside and shared her thoughts with him. “If you genuinely desire what is
best for Cordelia, I implore you to consider advising her to return to the Youngblood family.”
Emrys merely gave her a cold look and responded, “You don’t have to worry, for I’ll take good care of Delia.”
“Do you truly believe you possess the capability to provide for her needs? The Youngblood family can offer her the very best.
Can you match that?” Lydia demanded skeptically.
Assuming that Cordelia’s reluctance to return to the Youngblood family was influenced by Emrys, Lydia directed her frustrations
toward him, using him as a target for her venting.
Emrys maintained his composure throughout Lydia’s venting, and once she had finished, he

responded with unwavering calmness. “I can offer Cordelia everything that the Youngblood family can. provide and even more.
What I can provide for her surpasses the capabilities of a thousand Youngblood families,” he stated.
“What an arrogant young man!” Lydia sneered. “Remember what you said today. I can’t wait to see how you’ll provide the best
for Cordelia!”
“Time will prove everything.”
“Time will prove that you’re dreaming!”
Richard and Lydia departed from Verdant Estate in a state of annoyance. Despite their initial joy of reuniting with their daughter,
they felt upset at Emrys‘ demeanor.
They perceived him as arrogant and flippant, lacking the necessary capabilities. In their eyes, he appeared to excel only in
arguments, leaving them with doubts about his true suitability for Cordelia.
“I just don’t understand what Cordelia sees in a man like him. When he eventually breaks her heart, she’ll come to appreciate
those of us who truly care for her,” Lydia grumbled in the car.
Richard’s lips curled into a smile as he responded, “They have a special bond as they grew up together in the orphanage. It’s
only natural for them to be close. Most importantly, I think Cordelia has yet to meet a man with better qualities.”
“Oh, that’s right!” Lydia slapped her head and exclaimed, “If I’m not mistaken, the son of the Atkinson family is coming home after
studying abroad. We can find a chance to introduce him to Cordelia!”
They discussed the matter and thought it would work.
Cordelia didn’t know if she should feel happy or sad.
Yelena blinked twice and went up to her, wrapping an arm around her neck. “Delia, why are you feeling torn? No matter what
your decision is, we’ll always be your besties. Rys will always love you the most!”
