Chapter 224 Only Wynter Was Affected After That Day
How dare Dalton mock her taste in men again? Wynter was not going to let him put her down. She was about to say something when she noticed him staring at Abel.
Wynter finally understood and smiled. “You think I’m interested in Abel?”
Dalton looked at her silently, his gaze unfathomable.
Wynter raised an eyebrow. “You don’t like Abel?”
“The Lopez family raised their children well,” Dalton answered indirectly.
Wynter chuckled. “So you don’t like him? Abel is a kind man. He’s naive and full of youthful energy.”
“Oh?” A smirk played at the corners of Dalton’s mouth. Yet, the frostiness exuding from him intensified.
Wynter didn’t mince her words. “I simply regard him as a younger brother.”
‘A younger brother?” Dalton thought to himself. As he pondered over the meaning of her words, the cloud of darkness shrouding his gaze disappeared.
Dalton had acted out of character. He blamed it on the scene he encountered upon walking through those doors, nearly causing him to lose his composure.
It appeared like he would have to pay an early visit to the chapel. The beaded bracelet on his wrist, seemingly attuned to his thoughts, darkened in color in response.
“Oh, by the way.” Wynter seemed to have remembered something and whispered, that day…”
Dalton raised an eyebrow. “What about it?”
“After
“It’s nothing,” Wynter said, lost in thought. It seemed like it only affected her and not him. She was now sure about it–there was something unusual about his blood. Wynter looked up at him. “Let’s get you a blood test some other day.”
Dalton flashed her a restrained smile. “Alright.”
It puzzled Max greatly that their relationship sometimes felt distant, resembling merely that of a doctor and patient.
Wynter still had to take her exams in the afternoon, so Dalton left her to her own devices. He even arranged an SUV for her to rest in.

2/7
The butler arranged to look after Wynter’s needs took his job serlously. He plated up fruits, snacks, and tea for her beautifully.
What mattered the most was that the SUV was spacious. It was the type of SUV commonly used by celebrities, offering exceptional comfort and privacy. Folding down the back seat. would turn it into a bed.
Wynter rested in the SUV while two bodyguards and a butler stood outside. The service was so good that Abel had nothing left to offer.
Abel told Victor about this, “Wynter’s boyfriend is taking care of her. She doesn’t need me.”
“Boyfriend?” Victor was puzzled. He swept a gaze over to them and froze. “Mr. Yarwood?” Victor exclaimed to himself.
Abel was still oblivious to the situation. “Grandpa, what’s wrong?” Didn’t he say he was going to see Wynter? Why was he just standing there?
“Watch your words next time!” Victor had turned around to face Abel and rebuked him sternly, “What do you mean boyfriend? That man is Wynter’s patient. He’s not your ordinary person.
“If you spread such baseless rumors again, I’ll make sure you won’t be able to talk again!”
That man was Dalton Yarwood for God’s sake! Abel must have been crazy to spread such baseless rumors!
Abel muttered to himself, “Rumors? The man said it himself.
“Old stickler! He must think it would be detrimental to Wynter’s reputation to have a boyfriend at her young age.” But Abel chose not to expose his old man’s thoughts..
Victor, on the other hand, couldn’t calm down. If Dalton himself was willing to travel to their secluded school to be treated by Wynter, that meant that once Wynter passed her exams, even more important figures would be visiting!
The more Victor thought about it, the more excited he became, urging the invigilators to set
up
their schedules well.
well.
Meanwhile, inside the SUV parked under the shade of the trees, Wynter heard a man giving out orders softly before drifting to sleep. It was already 1:50 p.m. when she woke up.
The butler prepared a basin of water for her to freshen up before passing her a freshly brewed Americano. The aroma of coffee always helped to clear minds.
“Where is he?” Wynter asked casually while sipping on her coffee.
