Chapter 945 Cordelia And Her Insecurity

What the...

Emrys felt a flutter of unease stir within him. Were it not for his familiarity with Cordelia's character, he might have mistaken her actions for a deliberate attempt at seduction.

Suppressing his discomfort, Emrys inquired, "Delia, can I help you?"

"Must there be a reason for me to come talk to you? When did we become so distant?" Cordelia's tone carried a trace of hurt as she gracefully settled beside Emrys. Her presence enveloped him, accompanied by the subtle fragrance of her hair.

Emrys expression stiffened, his gaze i

upon Cordelia in astonishment.

She was normally aloof and composed, but today she seemed different-her facial expressions and the undertones of resentment in her voice rang with an unusual. pretentiousness. Something was definitely awry.

Conscious of the need to remain composed. Emrys fought to rein in his wandering thoughts. Delia must be setting yet another trap for me. She's waiting for me to take the bait only for her to give my ear a twist as punishment. There's no way I'd fall for that!

"Rys, as you know, I've always had feelings for you. It's just that... there was a barrier in my heart before, something I couldn't surmount. But now, I've made up my mind. I want to be yours in this lifetime. So, I offer myself to you today. Will you accept?"

Cordelia's soft voice hung in the air, accompanied by a blush that painted her cheeks a delicate shade of pink. Her bashfulness was evident in the subtle tilt of her head and her downward gaze.

Emrys stood in stunned silence, his mind reeling with uncertainty.

Is she putting on an act? Or is she for real? I can't tell

anymore.

Noticing Emrys' indifference, Cordelia seemed crestfallen. "Rys, do you think I'm not good enough for you? Do you think I'm a hypocrite for pretending to be reserved in the past?"

Emrys exclaimed in shock, "How can you think that, Delia? Why would such doubts even cross your mind?"

His shock only deepened as he scrutinized Cordelia's demeanor.

Today, she seemed to defy her usual composed facade, her emotions laid bare in

a raw display. The authenticity of her feelings clashed starkly with her customary poise.

Chapter 945 Cordelia And Her Insecurity

He's right. Why would I have such doubts?

In the past, she had commanded respect and authority among her sisters.

None dared to challenge her authority, not even Emrys.

Whenever her brows furrowed, even the mighty Empyrean Lord would shrink into submission, resembling nothing more than a helpless little boy.

Why did I say something like that?

Cordelia drew in a deep breath. "If you don't think I'm not good enough for you, then why won't you... Is it because I hold the least significance to you among all seven of us?"

Emrys shook his head vehemently, explaining. "No, Delia, that's not it at all... You understand the challenges I face with my cultivation. If my vital energy were to diminish without good reason, all my efforts would be for naught. How could I fulfill my duty to protect you all in the future?"

Emrys was agitated and annoyed.

"Oh. I see."

Cordelia nodded, but the disappointment in her gaze only intensified, casting a shadow over her features.

"Then, I'll leave you be. Get some rest.

I apologize for disturbing you,"

Just as she reached the door, she halted abruptly, her voice tinged with a hint of resentment. "And what about Karina?"

Emrys' expression faltered.

She pressed on sorrowfully, "In truth, Caylie has already confided in me about your relationship with Karina. I couldn't help but wonder, when were you planning

to tell me?"

A deafening silence filled the room as the weight of Cordelia's words settled upon

Emrys.

Ironically, he used this very excuse to

reject her. In his attempt to shield her from hurt, he had inadvertently m inflicted a deeper wound. Emrys'

heart sank, for he had unwittingly
