Chapter 107

Winford appeared to be listening to Henry, but most of his attention was actually focused on his little wife. So, the moment she leaned to one side, he quickly reached out with his long arm, and the girl’s soft and sweet body immediately fell into his embrace. Ophelia woke up for a moment, rubbed her eyes, and looked up.

“Feeling tired?” Winford whispered soothingly. “Then why not take a nap?”

“Oh…”

She instinctively trusted him, drowsily closed her eyes, and nestled in, finding a comfortable position in his arms. Winford indulged her, and in his lowered gaze, there flowed an intoxicating tenderness.

Across the way, Henry was stunned, and for a moment, he couldn’t help but doubt whether he was dreaming. This was Mr. Winford.

Suddenly, Winford raised his eyes, and the coldness in them startled him, making him instantly come to his senses. Thinking about what he had been thinking before, he had stared at this girl with that kind of gaze more than once. In an instant, he broke out in a cold sweat, his face turned pale, and he hurriedly lowered his head in panic.

After that, Henry spoke, no longer daring to lift his head, not even daring to glance at Ophelia out of the corner of his eye.

“Lower your voice a little,” Winford suddenly frowned. “Don’t wake her up.”

“Yes, yes!” Henry hurriedly responded, secretly feeling alarmed.

What was the relationship between the girl and Mr. Winford? It was already incredible that she could be so close to Mr. Winford, and yet he was still able to care for her so gently! This question still lingered in Henry’s mind as he left.

A girl like this unexpectedly appeared next to Mr. Winford… Tsk tsk, if this were to get back to Kingchester, it would be such sensational gossip! Those noble ladies must have gone crazy!

When Ophelia woke up, it was already dark outside, and she was lying on the bed in the apartment. After a two-second pause, she turned over and sat up, rubbed her eyes, and walked out of the room barefoot.

Suddenly, she found herself unexpectedly thrown into a familiar embrace. A strong arm wrapped around her waist. “Why aren’t you wearing shoes?”

“Hubby!” Ophelia suddenly woke up and leaned into his arms. “How did I get back? Weren’t we at the hotel?”

“The matter was settled, so naturally he brought her back.” Winford held her hand and led her into the room to help her put on her shoes.

“I had no impression at all…” she murmured softly, feeling a bit embarrassed. “I didn’t mean to fall asleep; I just suddenly felt a bit drowsy.”

“Put on your shoes,” Winford said.

“Oh.” She obediently nodded, sat down by the bed, and was just about to bend down when her ankle was caught. The man knelt on one knee in front of her, his large hand grasping her with an irresistible force, pulling her lovely bunny slippers onto her fair feet, and he even carefully tied the straps around her heels.

“Next time, you must not run around without wearing shoes,” he admonished.

“Oh…!” Ophelia took two seconds to respond, her heart racing like a deer in her chest, feeling dizzy in her head. Looking at the man’s deep-set brows and eyes, she thought that at that moment, Winford was unbelievably handsome.

Graham had something to report. When he saw that the bedroom door was not closed, he walked over directly, only to unexpectedly stumble upon such a scene. He suddenly rubbed his eyes in a fluster. Damn, was he seeing things? How could he see Mr. Winford from his house kneeling on one knee to help someone put on their shoes?! But no matter how wide the eyes were opened, the scene before them did not disappear.

“What to do?” Winford’s deep voice sounded, and his captivating gaze swept toward the door. Graham jolted awake in an instant.

“Mr. Winford, I had something to report.”

“Wait a moment to say.”

“Yes.”

With a heart full of shock, Graham tried his best to maintain a calm expression on his face and quickly withdrew.

Ophelia didn’t have classes in the evening, but she still had to return to her dormitory for a while.

“What are you going to do?” Winford’s expression showed a hint of unease.

Ophelia hurriedly said, “I haven’t moved my things over yet!”

Since she was going to move out, she naturally had to bring over the things she had left in the dormitory before. The man’s tense jaw finally relaxed a bit.

“Let Graham take someone with you,” he said.

Ophelia naturally nodded obediently. When they arrived at the school, Graham waited with the others downstairs of the dormitory while Ophelia went up to tidy up by herself.
