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
However, in the next second, the noble and cold God-like man gave her a firm stare while he softly said, “I’m pursuing her.”Nerola was tongue-tied.Gosh, she wanted to bury herself even more now.She was actually hallucinating during the day.Unexpectedly, Ninian was so shocked that she trembled and extended her finger.“Al, why-why-why are you doing this?”Nerola nodded.Exactly! How could he spout such nonsense in her hallucination? He was a member of the Winters family and the famous Young Master Alden Winters. Why would he fall for a second-class celebrity without status and a good background like her?As long as he curled his finger or even made a gesture, the best and most famous celebrities in the entertainment industry would desperately line up, come over, and seek his favor.She was truly going insane to have such an imagination.“How could you just say that out loud?” Ninian said in a disappointed manner. “Pursuing a girl requires time and a lot of effort. You ca
He raised his hand and tussled her hair before he smiled faintly. His black eyes were like bright lights, and they were extremely stunning.“Go on upstairs. I’ll keep in touch.”Nerola nodded and walked into the apartment building like a robot.When she entered the elevator, she even forgot to press the floor number. She stayed in the elevator for a very long time but did not realize that it was not moving at all.Looking at her flushed face reflected in the mirror, Nerola took a deep breath, raised her hand, and rubbed her face.D*mn her hormones for making her heart flutter.When she recalled Alden’s words, “I’ll keep in touch,” she blushed even more.However, she suddenly recalled that she did not leave her contact number with Alden, and she did not have Alden’s contact number either. How was he going to contact her?When she thought about it, she could not help but knock her head and feel regretful.Nerola was distraught and anxious.Meanwhile, the moment Alden got back i
Like Raina, Lana, Brooklyn, and… her baby, Everett…When Ninian thought that Everett’s problem had been solved, she grinned and chuckled. She was extremely happy.She wondered if he would come and ask her to marry him when her parents were at home.When she thought about it, her face turned red.“Tsk.” Alden glanced at her and could roughly read her thoughts. He sighed emotionally, thinking that she would get married now that she was a grown-up.Ninian secretly blushed.“You’re back.” When Adina walked out of the greenhouse and saw them, she smiled gently.“Your dad says we’ll gather and have dinner as a family later tonight. We’ll talk about recent developments.”“Yes, Mom,” Alden said with a faint smile.Ninian rushed forward and held Adina by the waist. “Mommy! I miss you so much! Sob! I want to cuddle with you in bed tonight! There are so many things that I want to tell you!”Adina’s youngest daughter held her waist in excitement and acted cute. She kept swinging from sid
About one and a half hours later, the Winters family sat at the dining table.Ninian and Harold could not hold themselves back the most. They held the cutlery and started eating.Other members of the Winters family still retained the elegance and demeanor that they should have, but their movements were significantly faster than in the past.“Aww! It’s really delicious!” Ninian chewed the meat in his mouth while she said, “Mommy, your cooking skills are even better than the chefs in the state dinner. It’s been a long time since I last ate the food you cooked.”Adina smiled faintly before she picked up a piece of fish and put it on Ninian’s plate. “Just eat as much as you like. It’ll help you to grow.”Ninian was unrestrained as she stuffed everything into her mouth.Looking at the happiness and satisfaction on her children’s faces as they ate, Adina smiled faintly. However, her eyes were filled with guilt.All these years, she would travel almost all year long due to her health a
