Cherished By Seven Sisters by Melvin Houle

Chapter 23 Comeback

“What took you guys so long?”

Surprisingly, Cordelia was still awake when the duo entered the house.

She had finished bathing and was wearing a sheer lace nightgown that barely covered her thighs.

Her fair and smooth legs were totally exposed, looking like a work of art.

Emrys kept his gaze forward like a righteous man.

The next second, Cordelia’s eyes widened. “Rys, your cheek…”

Emrys had forgotten to wipe the red lipstick mark on his left cheek.

With a sheepish giggle, Yelena piped up, “Delia, I’m going to take a bath first.”

Cordelia instantly understood what happened, and a look of jealousy overtook her face.

“You’ve got to be fair. Turn your right cheek to me. Don’t force me to do it myself,” she ordered domineeringly.

The next day, Cordelia and Yelena went to work.

Emrys, who was left at home, dialed a number.

There was no way he would leave last night’s incident at that. He was determined to let those self- conceited punks give Yelena a sincere apology.
