Chapter 279

“I couldn’t help you plead with Sunset Vista, and it was also related to her. She still couldn’t let go of me, and you were my fiancée. If she found out that I was pleading for you, she would definitely get jealous and then vent her anger on you. At that time, I wouldn’t know what she would say to Uncle Winford…”

“So I couldn’t go to Sunset Vista, because going there would not only be useless, but would also have the opposite effect!”

Adalynn’s face looked very bad, but upon hearing Cullen’s words about Ophelia pestering him, and seeing that he regarded Ophelia with disdain, her anger lessened. She only secretly cursed Ophelia, that shameless bitch!

“But weren’t you the heir chosen by Mr. Winford? Didn’t what you said carry more weight than Ophelia’s?”

Adalynn suddenly thought of this, and a hint of doubt immediately appeared in her eyes.

Cullen pretended to sigh, “Uncle Winford naturally valued me, but he was currently fascinated by Ophelia, so he was trying to win her over first. And since Ophelia had also pursued me in the past, Uncle Winford had become somewhat distant towards me ever since Ophelia married into Sunset Vista…”

“Don’t worry,” he gently wrapped his arm around Adalynn’s shoulders. “Once Uncle Winford’s novelty wore off, everything would be just fine.”

“As for the Estrada family, if Uncle Winford got angry, you just let them bear it for a while. When I took over Uncle Winford’s authority in the future, I would naturally compensate the Estrada family.”

In order to keep Adalynn calm, Cullen poured all his tenderness into it and personally took her to school the next day.

At the school gate, Cullen had just gotten out of the car when he suddenly stopped in his tracks. Adalynn followed his gaze, and her expression suddenly darkened.

Not far away, a low-key luxury car was parked, and Ophelia had just gotten out of that car! Through the opened car door, Winford could be seen sitting in the back seat. The man’s profile was cold and handsome, exuding an extraordinary noble aura. When he saw Ophelia get out of the car, he said gently, “Alright, go inside.”

Ophelia, however, lingered in front of the car and refused to leave. She blinked her eyes and looked at the man in the car, “Honey, are you really just going to let me go in like this? Aren’t you going to come down and see me off?”

In the past, she did not have such demands because Winford wanted to keep a low profile. However, now that their relationship had been announced to everyone, what concerns could there still be? She was still a bit dissatisfied when he just sent her to the door and left.

Moreover, because of what happened yesterday, the school was quite lively today, with so many people around sneaking glances at them!

“You were so cold to me that everyone saw it and thought our relationship was not good!”

Winford rarely felt helpless, but yesterday, in front of so many people, he had embraced her so intimately as they left. How could that indicate a bad relationship?

“I didn’t care. If you didn’t come down, I wouldn’t go in,” she said with a hum.

Winford had no way to deal with her, so he stepped out of the car with his long legs. He came to her side, close enough to almost hold her in his arms, and in a deep, indulgent voice, he asked, “Are you satisfied?”

Ophelia smiled brightly, looked up at him, and a mischievous glint suddenly flashed in her eyes. “Not yet!”
