Chapter 120

Lenora was shocked. “Is this Mr. Winford?!” It wasn't that Mr. Winford hated women most, but that he also hated others getting too close. But now, her cousin had gotten close to someone, and she didn’t see either of them showing any signs of disgust! He actually helped her cousin treat her wound in person! The most important thing is, wasn’t there a rumor that Mr. Winford was an old man?

Lenora widened her eyes and looked at the face that was even more handsome than her brother’s, gasping in surprise. Who spread that rumor in the first place? It couldn’t have been a blind person, could it?

At that moment, the bandage on Ophelia’s finger was wrapped up, and although the wound still hurt, a sweetness spread in her heart, making her feel that this little pain was nothing at all. She also bent her fingers and curiously felt the plump sensation of her fingers being wrapped. I sincerely praised, “Honey, you wrapped it really well!”

Winford:

Suddenly, she saw her cousin not far away, her eyes brightening slightly. “Nora!” Lenora walked over. She cautiously glanced at the legendary Mr. Winford, her emotions still somewhat unsettled. “Cousin!”

Ophelia held Winford’s arm and looked up at him, introducing, “Honey, this is my cousin, Lenora. You can call her Nora!” It was also said, “Nora, this was your cousin’s husband!” The other two fell silent at the same time.

After a while, Lenora opened her mouth and called out, “Cousin-in-law…” The tone was hesitant, filled with anxiety. Call Mr. Winford “cousin-in-law”? Although she knew that her cousin had married someone else, she couldn’t even dare to think of addressing him that way!

Winford nodded and said, “Hmm.” Lenora was somewhat surprised that Winford actually responded. At that moment, my worries about my cousin’s situation dissipated significantly.

At that time, it was almost seven o’clock, and the whole family had not yet had dinner, but Ophelia, in her current state, could no longer go into the kitchen. So Graham called the hotel to order a meal.

After dinner, Ophelia glanced at the time and said, “Nora, it’s getting a bit late now. Why don’t you stay here for the night?” Lived here? Lenora was indeed very moved, mainly because she hadn’t spent time with her cousin for a long time, and she missed her a lot.

However, she did not agree immediately, but instead looked anxiously at the newly minted “cousin-in-law.” Ophelia immediately looked at Winford and said, “Husband?” She was also a bit nervous, unsure whether Winford would agree, because she remembered that Winford did not like others to encroach on his territory.

Winford had no expression on his face. He slowly wiped his lips with the white napkin in his hand and instructed the servant, “Go tidy up the room.” Ophelia felt a sense of relief and smiled as she skillfully wrapped her arms around his and acted coyly, “You are so good, my husband!”

Lenora couldn’t help but feel a bit of affection for Winford; Mr. Winford was completely different from what the rumors had said. “Thank you, cousin-in-law!” she said obediently. Winford paused for a moment and let out a “hmm.” He did not dislike this title.

Lenora entered the room that the maid had arranged for her. She called home and mentioned that she would not be returning tonight. “Not going home? Where were you now?” her mother Freya asked anxiously. The daughter was well-behaved and innocent. Which day did she not come home on time? It was already surprising when she just sent a message saying she was going to a gathering with her classmates and would be back later. Now, she was even going to stay out overnight. How could that not make her worry!

Lenora dared not mention where she was, as she knew how much her mother disliked her cousin. If she said anything, it would surely cause a huge uproar at home. So, she vaguely found a reason. After a lot of effort, I managed to fool my mom, and then my brother’s call came in.

Xander Whitaker was filming outside and was not at home, so he did not know that she had not returned. He only asked, “Did you give the things to Bessie?” Lenora immediately pouted, “Bessie, Bessie, you asked her every time you called!” Xander liked Bessie, which was the most annoying thing for Lenora. In the past, she also thought that Bessie was a good person, gentle, generous, and kind. In order to get closer to her cousin, she even made a special effort to befriend her. It was only when it came to Hannah’s boyfriend that she saw the other person’s true colors!

A clear, light laugh came through the phone, filled with a sense of indulgence, and Xander thought his sister had gotten jealous.
