Chapter 218 Surprise Visit
“Listen carefully to what I’m saying. I said I wouldn’t allow Emrys to enter the Youngblood residence,
but I never said that my daughter couldn’t leave. So, tell me, where have I gone back on my word?
Where have I contradicted myself?”
Lydia seemed to have seized the winning point, holding her head high, much like a rooster victorious in
battle.
Roger, left speechless by the rebuttal, could only incessantly hurl insults at Lydia, calling him
shameless,
Who would have thought that these two individuals, both of considerable status in Jazona, would
engage in a verbal spat over Emrys? It was a conflict that was utterly beneath their dignity, akin to a
shrew cursing in public.
The crux of the fnatter was, neither of them were the ones.directly involved.
Richard could not get a word in edgewise, sitting uncomfortably on the sidelines. Only during the brief
lulls in the heated argument between the two, he managed to interject reluctantly, “How about we have
a cup of coffee before we continue our conversation?”
“What coffee are you talking about? I’m in a hurry to visit my dear son–in–law in Jadeborough. Do you
think I have time for coffee?” Lydia said, deliberately provoking Roger.
As expected, Roger was indeed quite upset.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThat verbal duel ultimately concluded with Roger’s regretful defeat. He left the Youngblood residence in
a huff, his resolve to have his daughter win over Emrys only strengthened. After all, that was a battle of
prestige concerning two major families.
Perhaps even in his wildest dreams, Emrys would never have imagined that his personal emotional
issues had unexpectedly escalated to the level of family honor.
After Roger left, Richard gave a bitter smile and said, “Why are you so agitated? This is a matter for the
younger generation. No matter how much you elders argue, it won’t make any difference!”
“How could it not have an effect? As long as I could influence Roger’s mood, that was enough. Seeing
him upset made me happy,” Lydia stated.
Richard let out another bitter laugh. Seeing Lydia start to get dressed, he couldn’t help but ask, “Are
you planning to go out?”
A
“Didn’t I just mention that I was going to Jadeborough to find my good son–in–law? Where have your
ears gone?”
“I thought you were simply trying to vent your anger at Roger.”
After a brief touch–up, Lydia applied some lipstick and then said to Richard, “Let’s go ask Emrys today
when he can start treating you. It’s been so long and there’s been no progress at all.”
Although Emrys had mentioned that it would take three months to cure Richard’s illness, there should

have been some progress, right? For instance, there should have been some preparations or
something of the sort, but Emrys hadn’t mentioned anything at all.
Lydia almost thought that Emrys had forgotten about that matter.
Richard reminded, “Actually, it hasn’t been that long…”
Upon seeing Lydia’s resentful gaze directed at him, Richard tactfully closed his mouth.
She was panicking.
The two of them had just finished tidying up, ready to head out, when the doorbell conveniently rang.
Lydia exclaimed in annoyance, “Great, it must be Roger again. Good timing. I didn’t get enough of
scolding him earlier.”
Lydia, brimming with fury, flung the door open, ready to unleash a tirade. However, in the next second,
she was taken aback. “Myles?”

who appeared at the door was indeed Myles.
Myles was similarly taken aback. Regaining his composure, he asked, “Mr. and Mrs. Youngblood, are
you two heading out to run some errands?”
Richard let out a dry laugh and said, “We were just about to visit Cordelia…”
The expressions on the couple’s faces were somewhat unnatural.
The Youngblood family and the Atkinson family had always been on good terms. As elders, they
certainly couldn’t bluntly tell Myles, “Our daughter is already in love with someone else, so give up your
hopes!”
They could only subtly hint at their meaning, implicitly expressing that the younger generation should
handle their own affairs. In reality, they were/suggesting to Myles that he should let their daughter go.
The last time Myles visited the Youngblood family when he said he was looking for Cordelia, Richard
and Lydia had already hinted at him.
Given Myles‘ intelligence, he shouldn’t have failed to understand.
In that case,.why was he there?
Myles was heard laughing as he said, “So, you’re visiting Cordelia. Why not take me along? Don’t
worry, I know my limits. If Cordelia truly doesn’t have any feelings for me, I will respect her wishes.”
