Chapter 1136 While Ninian was in a daze, Everett suddenly took a step back.
He pulled down his cap and whispered, “Be careful”.
As he was about to leave, Ninian‘s agile hand grabbed his arm. He was shocked, and when he turned back, their eyes met.
“Um… Sorry...” She recalled that he hated coming in contact with other people.
She felt awkward. However , Everett was not looking at her hand. Instead, he was looking behind her vigilantly.
She turned back and looked, only to see a few figures emerging from the shadows.
“Damn it!” Ninian exclaimed.
‘Those are my family‘s bodyguards!
‘No wonder Hal and Al let me out. They‘ve secretly sent their men to follow me!‘
Everett, who had obviously noticed their presence, pulled his hand away, ready to leave. He did not plan to expose his identity to the Winters family just yet.
But just as he pulled his hand back, Ninian swiftly grasped it.
“Follow me!”
She clutched his hand tightly as she led him into a small alley.
Everett looked at her delicate and bright face from the side, feeling confused and bewildered for a moment. He acted before he could process what was going on. He was stunned, but he was already running with her.
The streetlights were dim, and they cast shadows over her face as they ran past them. Her eyes lit up like a star.
His mind was blank and all he could see was Ninian, who was running in front of him.
He could neither see nor hear anything else.

‘I hope the street will be longer.
