Chapter 215
Cherished By Seven Sisters
Chapter 215 Interview The Empyrean Lord Jacqueline was happy when Emrys agreed. âThatâs great! Iâll go see the chancellor tomorrow to apply for the establishment of a traditional medicine short course.â
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 didnât 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 couldnât resist asking, âDr. Lund, have Richard and Lydia been giving you a hard time lately?â
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, heâd never say that out loud, lest he upset Emrys and get accused of gloating at othersâ
misfortune.
Emrys shook his head. âNo. Theyâve been particularly nice to me lately, especially Lydia. She keeps calling me her sonâinâlaw. Itâs making me feel embarrassed.â
âWhat?â Roger was shocked. His mood soured as he observed Emrysâ expression and realized the latter seemed serious.
How dare you, Lydia? You were the one who said youâd never allow Emrys to set foot in your home!
How could you go back on your word? D*mn it! Iâm going to confront that woman someday!
Emrys smiled meaningfully upon seeing the frustrated expression on Rogerâs face and didnât expose the latterâs thoughts. After bidding them goodbye, he left the Balford residence and returned to the hotel.
Ninette had just woken up and clung to Emrysâ arm, saying happily, âRys, I just had a wonderful dream.
Guess who appeared in my dream?â
As she spoke, she blinked her pretty, vibrant eyes.
After some thought, Emrys responded, âMe?â
Chapter 215 Interview The Empyrean Lord âStop being so full of yourself! I hate to burst your bubble, but youâre worlds apart from the person I dreamt of,â said Ninette, deliberately provoking Emrys.
Emrys was instantly provoked. âWho is it? Tell me. I donât believe you. No one can be more impressive than me.â
Ninette flicked his forehead with her finger, admonishing, âYou must not disrespect the Empyrean Lord!â
Empyrean Lord?
Emrysâ face instantly took on a strange expression. âNina, did you just dream about the Empyrean Lord?â
âHmph, of course. My greatest dream in this lifetime was to have the opportunity to interview the Empyrean Lord once. But how could someone as remarkable as him be within the reach of a simple woman like me?â
Ninette sighed, but her sense of disappointment only lasted a fleeting moment. She quickly turned to Emrys and said smugly, âNow you know who appeared in my dreams. Do you admit you can never compare to him?â
âYes, yes. The Empyrean Lord is the most handsome and invincible in the entire universe. Of course, Iâm nowhere as impressive as him,â Emrys agreed.
Ninette chuckled. âItâs good that you understand, but donât be disheartened. Youâll always be my beloved little brother.â Standing on tiptoes, she patted Emrysâ shoulder as consolation.
âNina, to reciprocate your love, Iâll help you realize your dream. You want to interview the Empyrean Lord, right? Iâll do anything to bring him to you. Iâd even kidnap him if need be.â
âOh, Rysâ¦â
Ninette gazed at Emrys affectionately. Just as Emrys thought she was moved by his words, he heard her say, âYou look ridiculous when you boast.â
