Chapter 312

Ophelia shook her head and said, “There was no need for Graham here…” Seeing she didn’t understand, Winford lifted her face before she could finish speaking, interrupting her words with his actions.

“Hubby?” Ophelia was pinched gently by him on her chin, her soft cheeks sinking in, and she looked at him with a mix of cuteness and a hint of confusion.

Winford’s deep eyes met hers, and after a moment of silence, he simply said to her, “Lia. I was your husband, and you should have focused the most attention on my heart.”

However, in the past couple of days, she had been preoccupied with outside matters, making her somewhat neglectful of him compared to before. This left Winford feeling somewhat dissatisfied—despite the fact that even when she wasn’t in class, she actually spent more than half of her 24 hours by his side.

Ophelia was astonished, her beautiful eyes widening slightly, as she did not expect Winford to say such a straightforward and shocking thing! Winford maintained a calm expression in response to her wide-open eyes and asked, “Do you remember?”

“…I remembered.” Ophelia tried hard to suppress the corners of her mouth that wanted to curl up, but the brightness in her eyes was impossible to hide.

Who didn’t like their partner to care about them? He couldn’t live without her, and when he spoke such domineering words to her, it wasn’t a constraint for her, but a declaration of love!

Seeing her so obedient, Winford’s expression softened slightly, and he released his grip. “Since you remembered…”

“But I wanted to handle this myself this time, without Graham!” Ophelia said hurriedly.

Seeing that he was about to get unhappy again, she quickly shook his arm and acted cute: “I know, if you take action, things would definitely be resolved easily. But this is my own matter, and I want to handle it myself. If I really encounter difficulties that I can’t manage, can you help me then?”

She certainly knew that it would be easy to leave those she wanted to deal with to Winford. However, when it came to revenge, how could she entrust it to someone else? Of course, it was more satisfying to take matters into her own hands!

Winford was somewhat dissatisfied, but seeing her eager expression, he felt he had no choice. Reluctantly, he said, “Next time, come home earlier when you go out.”

“I knew it!” Ophelia nodded without thinking, completely not bothering to argue that she never took long to go out each time…

Only Graham on one side hesitated to speak, feeling a mix of emotions. Is a married man really so unable to live without his wife…?

Ophelia felt that she and Winford were like a couple in love, where even a casual gesture or a single word from him could make her heart race. For example, Winford’s domineering request made her heart race for a long time. When she looked up at him, she couldn’t help but break into a bright smile, revealing her eyes filled with love. She had not yet realized that sometimes, even without speaking, one could still stir someone’s feelings. She didn’t notice that the man holding her gradually had a deeper gaze.

The next morning, Ophelia naturally woke up late. When she woke up, Winford was half-dressed, leaning against the headboard. He held a book in one hand, while the other loosely wrapped around her shoulder, like a lazy yet dangerous lion, embracing her in a manner filled with possessiveness and control.
