Chapter 299 Powerful Connections
Dalton pointed out dryly, “In my defense, I didn’t know she was the person the Quinnells have been looking for.”
Theo stopped teasing Dalton after a while. Just knowing that Wynter might one day become his granddaughter-in-law was enough for him. “In that case, do your best. If you don’t know how to go about asking
for her hand, then read a novel or something!”
Dalton thought, “A novel?”
He would have never done anything so st*pid as to read a novel for inspiration, but when he clicked into his inbox and found no

Wynter neither agreed nor disagreed with him. She glanced at her phone and put on her baseball cap and mask. “Stay home with Grandma. I’m going out to get my award.”
Wolf blinked at her, as if asking, “Prize? What prize?” He knew Wynter, would never attend anything like an award ceremony, and he
