NovelEnglishChapter 147 He Is My Family
Cordelia had been in contact with Richard and Lydia for the past few days. After all, they were her biological parents. She was
happy to spend time with them as long as they did not make her give up on the life she currently had.
Her suggestion took Emrys by surprise. “Surely that didn’t come from them?”
“It’s my personal request,” said Cordelia.
Both Richard and Lydia wanted Cordelia to head over alone, but Cordelia decided to bring Emrys along to prove one thing to
them–she could acknowledge them as her parents, but she could never give up on her current life,
Soon, the next day arrived.
Richard and Lydia were already waiting in the private room of a high–class restaurant in Summerbank.
There was also an elegant and scholarly–looking youngster in their presence.
That person was Myles Atkinson. He had just returned from studying abroad in Jetroina. More importantly, his family, the
Atkinson family, was close to the Youngblood family.
That was why Richard and Lydia adored him and wanted to use the opportunity to introduce him to Cordelia.
Myles nodded earnestly in response. He, too, was looking forward to seeing their daughter. After all, the couple was rather
good–looking. The former figured their daughter, who had been missing for twenty–five years, would take on their features.
The trio waited for some time until a server finally entered with Cordelia.
Myles‘ eyes brightened at the sight of her.
He had some experiences with the women at Jetroina when he was studying there. Although they were gentle, he could not help
but feel that something was missing.
Now that he had seen Cordelia, her icy temperament and beautiful features instantly captivated Myles. In fact, he felt his heart
flutter.
The look on Myles‘ face delighted Richard and Lydia, for it meant the former was attracted to their daughter’s appearance.
Then again, that was something they had expected.
Lydia quickly got up and approached Cordelia with a bright smile. “Cordelia, you’re finally here—”
Before she could finish her sentence, she froze, and so did her smile.
She had caught sight of the figure entering after Cordelia. It was none other than Emrys, the person

she detested greatly.
Emrys had not so much as opened his mouth when Cordelia spoke up for him. “I invited him.”
“Cordelia, I don’t think this is a good idea. We’re having a meal as a family, and he’s an outsider—”.
Lydia had long regarded Myles as one of them. Thus, she used the word “family” without hesitation. To everyone’s surprise,
Cordelia cut in, “Rys is my family. Since he isn’t welcomed, then we shall leave.”
The truth was, Cordelia had spotted Myles as soon as she entered the room. Immediately, she guessed her parents‘ intention,
and it displeased her.
On top of that, the way Lydia treated Emrys made Cordelia want to leave right then and there.
Seeing Cordelia was about to leave, Lydia quickly grabbed the former’s arm and apologized, “I’m sorry, Cordelia. Please don’t be
mad. I’ll let him stay, all right?”
Lydia’s words seemed to have hit Cordelia’s soft spot, and it made the latter shudder.
After a momentary hesitation, Cordelia nodded. “We’ll stay for a meal, but you mustn’t provoke him.”
“Of course. We won’t.”
Lydia might have answered that way, but she still turned around to glower at Emrys while Cordelia was not looking as if to warn
the former to behave during the meal.
Even so, Emrys shrugged, unbothered by Lydia’s reaction.
Meanwhile, Myles could not sit still anymore. Before Richard and Lydia said anything, the former stood up and introduced
himself, “Hello, Delia. It’s nice to meet you. My name is Myles Atkinson.”
