“What?” Everett was slightly stunned.Ninian chuckled and said, “If you weren’t afraid that they would get angry at me, you wouldn’t have to pave the way like this. Besides…” “Besides what?” Everett could not help but be led by her.“Besides, you want more people to like me too, don’t you? You want me to attract more fans and achieve my dream.” Ninian smiled and said, “So, the approach you’ve taken is to leak information about me in the entertainment industry and let my brothers see how well I’m living here and how great my achievements are. That way, they can be proud and supportive of me.“Baby, is that what you’re thinking?”Ninian’s laughter and words were filled with teasing, and she instantly hit Everett’s heart.He subconsciously held his phone more tightly and narrowed his profound eyes. His eyes revealed a little trace of loss.Did he really think that way?Was he really willing to let the world covet his “baby”?No, he was not willing.He could not wait to hide her
It was replaced with Melody’s voice, which sounded slightly flustered.“Hello, Ninian?”“Mel, what’s wrong?” Ninian curiously asked.“No-Nothing. I just met some people who are extra friendly.” Melody seemed to gently exhale and ask, “Grapie, is something wrong? Do you need my help with anything?”When Ninian heard Melody’s soft words, she felt her face turn red from embarrassment.It seemed that she always caused trouble and came to her sister for help, so her sister’s first reaction after getting a call from her was to ask what happened.“Ahem, Mel, I just wanted to check in on you.” Ninian shamelessly asked, “Are you in Perthwick now?”“How did you know?” Melody asked in surprise, sounding a little strange. “I’m… I’m staying in my junior’s house.”“Your junior? Is it Brooklyn?” Ninian’s eyes instantly lit up. With a nosy gaze, she asked, “Are you in his house now? So, was that noise earlier from his family talking?”“Yes,” Melody said. “Luckily you called in time, or else,
“Mel!”Brooklyn looked flustered as he moved forward and sized her up for a while. He sighed in relief only after he noticed that she seemed to be fine.“Are you alright? I heard that you were surrounded by my grandma and family just now.”Brooklyn knew how terrifying the female members of his family were. They had urged him to get married some time ago, and he dared not come home for a few years.Now the girl he liked had come over to stay for two days. But the group of women caught his innocent senior when he looked away. He was so scared that he put his work aside and ran over immediately.When Melody saw his hurried demeanor, she could not help but frown and say, “Why are you running? Take your time, I’m fine.”Brooklyn shook his head to acknowledge that he was fine. When he saw Melody hand him a handkerchief, his blue eyes filled with warmth, and a smile formed on his handsome face.“Thank you, Mel. My hands are tired from playing the piano, and they’re cramped. Could you h
“Hope for what?” Brooklyn looked at her nervously with expectation.“Hope to gain a connection with the Winters family?” Melody guessed before she quickly frowned. “But she should go to George about this.”Brooklyn hunched his shoulders again. He felt slightly dispirited.“Melody, haven’t you looked at it from another direction?” Brooklyn gazed at her. He wanted to blurt out so many things, but he was afraid that he would scare her. As such, he could just indirectly ask, “Haven’t you thought of getting married in the future?”“Getting married? I’ve never thought about it.” Melody’s face was filled with a grimace, and she asked, “Brooklyn, do you plan on getting married?”For some reason, when Melody imagined Brooklyn standing in the church and getting married to another person, she felt her heart clench.It was like… something that had been with her for a long time going missing all of a sudden. Her heart felt empty and gloomy.“I want to get married, but things haven’t even beg
That night, Ninian received a mysterious call.Even her assistant and close friend did not know anything about the contents of the mysterious call.Everett also guessed a part of the content only through some of her words and certain discreet expressions, as well as gestures, while she gossiped.Just a part was sufficient for him to pity Brooklyn who was in Lusint.He had guarded his “baby” for many years, yet she had not come to realize it at all. She never guessed it no matter what.He could see her, but he could not touch, approach, or feel her.Was there anything else more miserable than that?Everett did not think so.His “baby” had met him officially a few times before she was taken by him, and she was devoted to him.That was the result of a man’s charm and confidence.Everett did not reveal his delusional self-confidence to Zayn.Otherwise, Zayn would tease him even if he bore the risk of getting killed.He was the one who refused to give up on Ninian. He had secret
“Ninian, a handsome guy is looking for you outside!” A staff member walked in and said nosily. “He drives a luxurious car and is dressed in haute couture. He’s extremely good-looking! Who is he? Your suitor? Does Everett know about him?”As the staff spoke, he even carefully looked at the side as if he was afraid that Everett would hear him.“How does the person look like? Does he have a pair of almond eyes and an unrestrained look?” Ninian asked.“Yes! You really know him!” the staff said excitedly. “He’s so handsome!”“Lower your voice. If Everett hears you, all of us will be doomed.”“Exactly. The last time a suitor gave Ninian flowers, Everett got so angry. The crew was tense the whole day. Even the director dared not breathe heavily.”“Pfft!” Ninian felt speechless, and she said, “Why are you being so dramatic? Everett is really good-tempered.”Everyone instantly trembled, and they had goosebumps.Ninian continued. “The person outside is my brother. Everett knows him too,
Ninian suppressed the strange feeling before she asked, “Hal, where are we going?”“I need a partner for a private banquet, so you’ll just act as my partner for the time being.” Harold grinned and answered.“What?” Ninian pouted unhappily. “You have so many women around you. Why do you need me for this? Besides, you should know that it’s not suitable for me to keep a high profile.”“It’s not high-profile.” Harold coaxed her as he said, “This is for the sake of your career and Everett’s.”“Huh?” Ninian instantly became curious. “What do you mean?”“I didn’t expose my identity, so the people at the banquet don’t know that I’m a member of the Winters family either,” Harold said. “I can see that you’re having fun in the entertainment industry, so I plan to invest some money and become the boss of your crew. Once that happens, I can take care of you and Everett too.”When Harold mentioned Everett, he smirked with a cunning look.That brat knew that Harold’s studio was doing new resea
Almost everyone was stunned.Everyone in the banquet hall was fully made up. She was the only one dressed in such a simple and low-key manner.However, her face was unforgettable. She could not hide even if she wanted to, and although Harold stood next to her, he could mask her beauty.The experienced seniors of the entertainment industry subconsciously sighed with great emotion. Her face was a gift from God, and she was born to work in entertainment.Harold was very pleased with the people’s response.That was how impressive his little sister should be whenever she showed up.He had purposely booked a limited-edition gown, which was the latest design from Queen. It was luxurious and noble, a treasure that fitted her the best.Unfortunately, his sister had refused to wear it. She had insisted on dressing up in a simple manner, so Harold had felt slighted earlier.However, Harold flashed a smile as he led his sister toward the crowd at this moment. He easily interacted and socia
