Chapter 1290
“Stop crying, Grapie. I’ll help you solve all of your
problems. My little princess must be happy at all times!” While stroking Ninian’s soft long hair, he expressed his distress.
Ninian responded with a little whimper and nodded.
“All right, don’t cry. There are so many people watching.” Adina laughed gently. “You’ll end up with an ugly face if you don’t stop crying.”
Only then did Ninian come back to her senses. ‘Oh right! There are so many people watching.‘
She emerged from Adina’s arms flushed, her face red, and she was slightly awkward to meet everyone.
Standing at the side was Everett, who had tidied himself up nicely. “Mr. And Mrs. Winters!” He walked over and politely said.
Duke turned to face the source of the sound, and his gentle gaze sharpened in an instant. While releasing a degree of pressure, he asked, “So you’re Everett?”
“Yes, Mr. Winters,” Everett said calmly, matching his
gaze.
“I heard you involved Grapie in an accident last time,
causing her to lose her speech due to a stress disorder. Is that true?”
Duke’s voice was light and husky, but the silent pressure laced in his words pulled at everyone’s heartstrings.
His question was sharp and straight to the point, making it impossible for Everett to avoid it.
Whether Everett replied “yes” or “no,” neither would be a good answer.
Everyone there had their hearts in their mouths.
Brooklyn looked at Everett with sympathy in his eyes.
