The Heiress’ Return: Six Brothers at Her Beck and Call (Wynter Quinnell) novel Chapter 149

Chapter 149 The Intimate Hug 

The words “You might get it for free, but not everyone else,” echoed in Dalton’s mind. 

Dalton’s typically cold expression softened ever so slightly. 

“No problem,” Dalton responded. His usual imposing demeanor softened in response to Wynter’s words. “Max, pay up,” 

Max nodded and immediately pulled out his bank card. 

“Max, increase the amount,” Dalton said calmly, yet his authority remained palpable. 

Wynter glanced at him before redirecting her focus to the compliant Max. “Are you two friends?” she inquired, 

Dalton didn’t hide the truth. “He’s a colleague from another office.” 

Max quickly adjusted his posture and said, “We’re colleagues from the branch office.” 

Wynter didn’t seem bothered. “We can’t take credit cards yet, but online payments work. Just scan this code.” 

Max shifted his gaze toward Dalton. He asked, “How much should I pay?” 

“Do you have to consult your friend about how much you should pay for treatment?” Wynter chuckled. 

Max promptly paid ten thousand dollars. He believed it was a reasonable amount for medical 

expenses. 

Wynter raised an eyebrow at the transaction. “You should bring in more friends like him 

next time.” 

Despite what she said, Wynter refunded nine thousand nine hundred dollars to Max. She 

then tapped on the promotional board. “Bone alignment is just one hundred dollars.” 

Max was astonished. “Just one hundred dollars?” 

As a Frendan, Max found this quite unusual. 

Back in his hometown, even basic antibiotics at a local pharmacy cost several hundred 

dollars. 

“Oh my, that’s so affordable!” Max exclaimed. 

As they bid farewell to their neighbors, Margaret, who had just arrived, wondered what was 

happening. “Wynter, is he in pain after the treatment? That doesn’t seem right,” Margaret asked. 

“He’s marveling at the traditional medical knowledge passed down through generations,” Wynter explained. 

As Wynter reached for Margaret’s shopping basket, Margaret stopped her with a raised hand, “You tally up today’s earnings and see if we need more supplies. I’ll have a talk with your boyfriend,” Margaret instructed. 

Max was stunned. He wondered when Dalton had become her boyfriend. 

Wynter realized her earlier fib wasn’t so smooth after all. 

Her usual mischievous expression faltered, and she attempted to explain herself. 

Then Dalton’s pleasant voice chimed in, “Of course, Grandma.” 

Max’s jaw dropped, and his expression dramatically shifted. 

But then again, it wasn’t surprising. Dalton had never really shown much interest in women.
