SWNOVELS Chapter 91
Chapter 91 I Have Always Been A Lady
At that point, Charlotte felt there was something special about finding happiness in life’s simple pleasures rather than enduring unhappiness in the midst of luxury.
The passersby, too, agreed that there was something refreshing and delightful about being young
and innocent.
After returning to the Sunderland residence, they spotted three figures pecking from behind the yard wall, who seemed to have been eagerly awaiting their arrival for quite some time.
“They’re weird. So weird,” Emrys murmured.
After gently helping Charlotte off the bicycle and bidding her farewell, he leisurely pedaled away on his bicycle.
“Hey, Charlotte. How’s your day with Mr. Lund?”
As soon as Emrys left, the three of the Sunderlands dashed out of the residence, surrounding Charlotte with endless questions.
They were all grinning from ear to ear.
Not one to reveal her shy side in general, Charlotte answered bashfully, “Oh, please. We’ve only spent an afternoon together. What’s there to make a fuss about?”
Seeing her blush and squirm, the three of them exchanged peculiar glances. Is this unruly child actually shy now?
From the tone of her voice, it seemed like she would not mind getting closer to Emrys and developing a deeper relationship with him.
Big news! This is big news!
Franklin expressed his concern by asking, “Charlotte, does that mean you don’t harbor any negative feelings toward Mr. Lund anymore?”

“Why would I have any negative feelings toward him? He’s such a nice guy. You guys are really weird!”
The three of them cast her a peculiar glance. Now we’re the weird ones? That’s not how she reacted during lunch earlier!
Charlotte seemed to understand what was on their minds and rolled her eyes. “Mr. Lund is an impressive priest, yet none of you told me that! You all made me look like a fool during lunch.”
The trio paused for a moment, exchanging surprised glances. Priest?
Franklin and Lucas could not help but wonder why she called Emrys a priest. Isn’t Mr. Lund a

miracle doctor?
Thomas, too, was perplexed. Isn’t he Empyrean Lord’s brother–in–law? When did he become a priest?
However, none of their doubts mattered anymore, as Charlotte had developed positive feelings for Emrys, and he did not appear to be repulsed by her either.
That’s all that matters!
With these two foundations in place, their task now was to create more opportunities for Charlotte and Emrys to spend time together. They were confident that with these opportunities, a deeper relationship would naturally develop between them.
Our family is about to reach new heights! Hahaha!
Thomas wore a gossipy expression as he asked, “Charlotte, can you tell us exactly how far your relationship with Mr. Lund has progressed?”
Smack!
Franklin smacked Thomas on the back of his head and scolded, “Can you not be so direct? Can’t you tell she’s shy now?”
After giving Thomas a fierce glare, Franklin turned around and flashed a grin at his granddaughter. “Sweetie, have you… held hands with Mr. Lund?”
That question rendered Charlotte speechless. Well, that’s quite a “subtle” way of asking.
Her mind raced as she recalled the incident when Emrys bravely protected her from Cambion while tapping her chin thoughtfully. “Mr. Lund touched me.”
“Wait, what?”
The three men were thunderstruck. They were only together for an afternoon, and they’ve already gotten touchy–feely? Here I thought Mr. Lund looked like a decent man!
Franklin, who came to his senses, stroked his beard and burst into laughter. “Well done, well done. Charlotte, sweetie, from now on, you need to start acting more ladylike. Don’t show your stubborn and unruly side before Mr. Lund anymore, okay?”
“Grandpa, how can you have such a low opinion of your own granddaughter? I’ve always been a lady; I don’t need to pretend to be one,” Charlotte retorted.
He cleared his throat. “Yes, yes. You’re right. You’ve always been ladylike. Can you please let go of my beard now?”
Meanwhile, as soon as Emrys returned to his room, he locked the door and could not contain his excitement as he took out the Mystic Sun Stone.
He never expected to find such a precious gem in the Sunderland residence. What a delightful

surprise!
He held the Mystic Sun Stone in his hands and eagerly absorbed its energy.
Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!
The stone’s surface quickly lost its luster, and the life energy within Emrys‘ b*dy became noticeably stronger.
After absorbing enough energy, he used his life energy to cut the Mystic Sun Stone into seven circular stone pieces with a diameter of ten centimeters.
