Journey Of Me And My Seven Sisters

Chapter 3

Emrys could feel the fury rising within him, like a storm building in the distance. His torrent of emotion

was waiting to be unleashed. Sensing his wrath, Walter gently caressed his cheek to console him. “I’m

telling you this so I can be honest and not hide anything from you. I don’t want you to do anything

foolish.” He had been afraid to tell Emrys the truth, fearing he would cause trouble for Prime Realty.

There was no point in doing so because the forces behind the organization were terrifying. Emrys was

pulled back to reality when the old man’s wrinkled palm stroked his cheek. “I’m sorry for giving you a

scare, Mr. Olman.” “Promise me you’ll let go of the past, okay?” Walter pleaded. “Don’t worry, Mr.

Olman. I won’t do anything foolish,” Emrys said, suppressing his anger. “You’re a good kid.” Walter

sighed in relief. Suddenly remembering something, he smiled. “The girls will be overjoyed if they know

you’re still alive.” Emrys’ heart lurched as he asked, “Are they doing fine?” “They’re doing well. They

have their own careers, and they send me money every month. I have their photos here too.” Photos?

Emrys’ eyes lit up. It had been fifteen years since he had seen them. He wondered what they looked

like now and whether they had grown even more beautiful. Of course, no matter how they looked, they

were the women he loved most in his life. Walter entered the house and carefully retrieved a stack of

photos from the drawer. Filled with anticipation, Emrys eagerly spread the photos out and took a quick

glance. His eyes almost popped out of their sockets. “T-They’re really my sisters?” The man could not

believe his eyes, not because his sisters were ugly, but because they were too beautiful. Each one of

them looked like a goddess. Walter grinned and remarked, “Your sisters are not only beautiful but also

highly successful.” Somehow, Emrys believed the old man’s words. As the two were chatting, Gavin,

who had caught his breath, suddenly crawled miserably to Walter’s feet. “Mr. Olman, please give me

two hundred thousand. I really need the money,” he begged. Clearly, he was preparing to play the

sympathy card. Walter had been chatting happily with Emrys, but Gavin’s words instantly ruined his

good mood. “You unfilial child! How dare you ask me for money?” “It’s not like that, Mr. Olman. It’s

because I… I—” “Hurry up and speak your mind,” Walter interrupted before Gavin could think of an This content © Nôv/elDr(a)m/a.Org.

explanation. “Did you get into any trouble outside?” Seeing that he could not hide the truth, Gavin bit

the bullet and confessed, “I owe the casino money. They threatened to cut off my hand if I didn’t pay

back within a week.” “What! How dare you go to the casino? I’ll kill you, you b*stard!” Walter was

enraged when he heard that Gavin owed money at the casino. He grabbed a broom and started

beating him with it. Instead of dodging, Gavin pleaded, “I must have gone insane, but it has already

happened. I honestly can’t come up with a solution, which is why I’m asking you for money.” “You damn

thing! Are you trying to drive me crazy?” Walter bellowed. Just then, a clear and cold voice came from

afar. “Gavin, I warned you not to make Mr. Olman angry again. Why do you keep disobeying my

instructions?” A tall and slender woman walked over from outside the courtyard. Her long, shiny hair

was coiled high behind her head, exposing her grace and poise. She had stunning features and a cold

and sophisticated attitude. The white and elegant clothing could not hide her curvaceous figure. She

exuded goddess-like grace. She’s so beautiful! At first glance, Emrys was deeply attracted to the

mysterious woman. His eyes glistened as he admired her good looks. That’s my eldest sister! The

woman was none other than Emrys’ eldest sister, Cordelia Youngblood, whom he hadn’t seen in fifteen

years. Compared to the photo Emrys had seen earlier, Cordelia was even more beautiful in person, but

she was also more aloof. Cordelia and Emrys looked at each other at the same time. In that moment of

eye contact, Cordelia’s delicate b*dy trembled slightly. There was a hint of surprise in her beautiful

eyes. However, she quickly recollected herself as if nothing had happened. “For Mr. Olman’s sake, I’ll

help you for the last time. If you dare to cause trouble again, I’ll break your legs.” In order to prevent

Walter from being upset, Cordelia wrote a check for two hundred thousand and threw it at Gavin. Gavin

was wild with joy. “Thank you, Delia.” “Don’t call me that. It disgusts me,” the woman spat. “Haha…”

Gavin smiled shamelessly. It didn’t matter how he was treated now that he had the money. Unable to

contain himself any longer, Emrys uttered, “Delia, it’s me.” After five years of military service, the man’s

iron-blooded character had already been forged. Even when facing a million-strong army, he had never

shown any fear. However, at that moment, he felt jittery having to face his eldest sister. Even an iron

man could be tender. Emrys’ weak spot was his seven sisters. Cordelia froze as she recalled memories

of her beloved younger brother from fifteen years ago. She stiffly turned to look at the somewhat

familiar face, her voice trembling as she spoke. “You are… You are…” Cordelia could not believe her

eyes. When she first entered and saw Emrys, she immediately felt that the young man resembled her

brother, who had died in a fire. However, she didn’t dare to acknowledge him, as she was afraid of

being disappointed. Even though Emrys called her “Delia” with such a similar tone and expression, she

still couldn’t believe the man was her brother. Walter smiled and said, “Cordelia, he is your little brother,

Emrys. He has returned.” “Emrys…” The woman was lost in her thoughts for a moment. Is my little

brother, Emrys, really back? “Delia, it’s me. I’m back.” Emrys smiled warmly and stepped forward to

give his eldest sister a hug. Cordelia’s b*dy instantly tensed up, and a hint of resistance flashed

through her cold eyes. However, her actions were subtle and not particularly obvious. “Emrys, you’re

finally back! I’m so happy!” Despite her celebratory words, she stepped back and broke free from

Emrys’ embrace. Emrys was stunned, as his eldest sister’s reaction was somewhat unexpected. She

wasn’t as excited as he had imagined, nor did she ask how he survived the fire. Instead, they were like

two old friends greeting each other respectfully, having not seen each other in a long time. Have we

really grown apart after fifteen years? Emrys frowned as he thought of a serious question. He

wondered if Cordelia had already started her own family and was trying to avoid complications. After

all, even though they called each other siblings, they didn’t have any blood relation. If that were the

case, Emrys could only sincerely wish her well. Walter, who was oblivious to the tense mood,

enthusiastically escorted them to a seat so they could catch up on their lives. Throughout the

conversation, Cordelia did not ask Emrys anything about his life. The bitter sensation in Emrys’ heart

grew stronger. Maybe we have really grown apart!
