With Duke and Adina’s many years of research, it was not hard to get rid of the smart chip.They had been preparing for a year. The next morning, Everett was pushed into the operating theater.Before he went in, he saw Ninian’s red eyes. He smiled and tenderly said, “Wait for me.”The five-hour surgery finally ended, and Everett was pushed out. His complexion was very pale, but he was conscious.He immediately saw Ninian who was guarding the operating theater. After he smiled and comforted her, he finally could not bear it and fell asleep.Ninian sent Everett to the ward so that he could rest. When she saw him breathe steadily, she leaned in her mother’s arms and wept.They had been through many obstacles and setbacks. It was finally over now.Everett was safe, and the biggest pitfall between them had also disappeared.When Duke saw her red nose as a result of crying, he felt jealous.He privately complained to Adina that he was no longer his daughters’ most beloved man.
Clearly, Everett did not understand the strange thoughts in Ninian’s mind.When he saw Ninian’s strange expression, he frowned slightly in confusion.She noticed that this handsome man still had a little conscience. “You just underwent surgery. I’ll disturb you. Besides…” Ninian blushed as she looked away and said, “Besides, how can I take advantage of you when you’re sick?” Everett was speechless.“The bed is big enough. Come here,” Everett said helplessly.It was a VVIP ward. The bed was big and comfortable, so it was sufficient for two people to sleep.Besides, what kind of advantage was this? They were officially a couple.Even if Ninian wanted to “sleep” with him, he did not have anything to say about it. He just felt sorry since she was so innocent.When Ninian saw Everett’s insistence, she did not say anything else. She just lay down on the bed.The smell of disinfectant and Everett’s cold scent gave Ninian a sense of familiarity even though she was nervous.While
Alden was a control freak when it came to his sisters. After she attacked him with her sweet talk, he instantly surrendered.“Okay, stop tugging at my shirt. It’ll tear if you keep pulling it.” Alden was still expressionless, but the joy in his eyes could not be hidden.“Tell me, Al.” Ninian raised her head and looked at him. Her eyes were crinkled, and they seemed to be filled with stars. “Can you tell me, most handsome and outstanding Alden?”Alden finally could not hold back and burst into laughter.He did not turn back. As he continued to stare ahead, he could not help but shake his head and click his tongue. “Spoiled kid.“Dad and Mom will stay at home for some time. After all, their previous travels went on a little too long, and many things happened. They plan to stay and rest for a while. They want to handle your affairs properly too.”“Really?” Ninian’s eyes lit up. “I get to hug Mommy when I sleep again!” Ninian gestured excitedly in the back passenger seat. Alden gla
“Ninian? Why are you back?”When Nerola saw Ninian, she felt a little surprised too.She knew that the Winters family and the Craig family had been busy lately. Besides, Ninian had applied for several days off from Amber, hence she thought that Ninian would not be back so soon.She did not expect to see her at this time.“Ahem, I came back to pack some stuff up. I’ll go back and stay at home for some time,” Ninian explained. “Are you going out?”“I was about to go downstairs and buy some things, but I’m not in a rush,” Nerola said. “What do you want to pack? I can help you.”“Okay.” Ninian’s eyes instantly crinkled, but her thoughts were running.Could Nerola be the one Alden wanted to treat to a meal?It could not be, right? Alden had just met Nerola once. They were not familiar with each other, were they?Ninian contemplated while she went back to her room and packed her stuff with Nerola.In reality, she did not need to pack anything. She just took her usual things and som
She was surprised that Young Master Alden actually remembered her name when she was someone unimportant. She was also curious about what he wanted.The man opened the car door and stepped out. His decently-cut suit made his figure look more straight and slender.Under the sun, his face was even more impressive. He was so handsome that Nerola could not take her eyes off him even though she had been working in the entertainment industry for many years as a popular young actress and had seen countless handsome men.Regardless of his temperament, appearance, and figure, no one could be on par with Alden except Everett.She even became stunned from looking at him.By the time she snapped out of her daze, she was already covered by a shadow. Alden was standing in front of her with an indifferent expression, but his tone was gentle, which was rare.“Grapie always talks about you. She says you’re her bestie, and you help her all the time. If you don’t mind, let’s go and have lunch togeth
“Nerola, you’ve misunderstood!” Ninian grabbed Nerola’s hand as she pouted and spoke with disappointment. “Alden really doesn’t have bad intentions! You’re my friend. Why would he go and investigate you? He’s just curious about you… Um, he’s curious about our past.”When Nerola heard this, her expression brightened slightly, but she still eyed Alden.“Young Master Alden, are you merely concerned about Ninian’s past?”Facing Nerola’s question, Alden did not seem happy.Through the rear-view mirror, he looked into the woman’s gaze, which was filled with slight anger. Even so, her beauty could not be hidden. There was a sharp glint in his eyes.“Are you always this alarmed?” Alden asked.His words stunned Nerola slightly. “What?”“Why can’t I be concerned about my sister and her friend, but I have to be a bad person, who forbids my sister from getting involved with other people and even has bad thoughts about everyone around her?” Nerola was at a loss for words.Was she not just
When she noticed that Alden did not truly get angry, she became bold again. She patted her chest guiltily before she looked into Nerola’s eyes, and both of them smiled brightly.At the front, Alden looked at the two girls who had started muttering in a low voice, and he smiled faintly. His eyes were also full of warmth. Soon, the three of them arrived at the restaurant.Alden threw the car keys to the valet before he opened the door to the back passenger seat and invited the two girls out like a gentleman.Nerola seemed to feel flattered. “Thank you.”“You’re welcome,” Alden teased. “Just don’t think too badly of me again.”When he said that, he was holding the car door. It looked as if he was cornering Nerola, who had just gotten out, between his arms and the car.His figure was tall and big, emanating a strong sense of oppression.When he stared at someone with his indifferent eyes, he could nearly make the person feel numb.This was what happened to Nerola.She subconscio
However, Nerola was always ready.She was alone, so she was also fearless.Alden understood that Nerola was hardworking, clear-headed, and resolute. She knew how to weigh the pros and cons of every situation too.She had a clear distinction between grudges and grievances, and she would stand up for herself.If people had bad intentions toward her, it would not matter if they were her family. She would not allow them to rely on her. As for those who were kind toward her, she would be grateful even if they were strangers.Besides, she appeared noble and cold on the surface, but she would take off her piercing mask and show her softest spot to her friends like Ninian.Her fans would never imagine their cold and heroic idol constantly gossiping when she was with her best friends. She would even fangirl over a young male idol who had just become popular.She was living her life to the fullest.Alden admired Nerola very much, and his heart fluttered for her.Perhaps some things were
