Chapter 1240
‘How dare he touch Grapie like this right in front of us?!
‘Are we nothing to you?‘
Alden’s gaze was cold. He had a strong urge to take Everett’s hand off Ninian.
Everett knew that he had lost his composure. He pursed his lips, let go of Ninian’s hand, and took a step back.
But Ninian held on to him.
She held his hand and gently shook her head, signaling that she was okay.
He did not expect her to fight back in front of her siblings. He looked surprised and was at a loss.
The two of them stared at each other in silence.
The rest of the Winters siblings became restless.
“Grapie, what are you doing?” Harold was the first to exclaim. He approached her and grabbed her. “Let go! Let go now!”
George pursed his lips and his expression was cold. ” Ninian Winters, come here.”
Harold quickly pulled Ninian and made her stand behind George. He stepped forward, standing in between Everett and her.
Duncan, who was standing nearby, had a different
reaction from the Winters‘ siblings. Juxtaposed, he was grinning widely with a hint of triumph in his indifferent gaze.
He suppressed his smile and said, “Everett, come back here. Don’t scare them like that.”
The Winters siblings‘ expressions darkened when they heard this.
Everett remained silent as she took a glance at Ninian, who was standing behind her brothers, before turning and standing behind Duncan.
“Since we’re all gathered here, why don’t we have lunch. later? It’s my treat! Take it as a token of gratitude for caring about Everett. What do you think?”
He tried his best to set up a chance where Ninian and Everett were able to spend more time together. He looked at George with a cunning smile.
