Chapter 325 Private Conversation
Wynter set her black purse down and raised a brow at Wolf. “What’s
going on here?”
Dalton glanced at the fish tank and hid his smile. “I don’t think we can
go to the aquarium tomorrow if Wolf continues to flaunt his… special
ability.”
Wynter followed Dalton’s gaze and saw the dead fish in the tank. The
fish were foaming at their m*uths, and she knew she couldn’t cover for Wolf anymore.
She chewed on her fruit-flavored candy and chuckled as she asked
Dalton, “Shall we take this conversation downstairs?”
Margaret was peeling an apple for Wynter when she heard this. “Why
can’t you talk here?”
“It’s about the Quinnells, a topic he is quite the expert on. Also, it’s a highly confidential matter,” Wynter explained. Margaret didn’t stop Wynter from leaving after hearing her explanation.
Dalton, on the other hand, straightened up and said casually, “Very well then. We can also discuss how we should introduce you to my parents.”
Wolf looked up at Dalton in alarm, wondering what he was going on about. Wynter suddenly stopped biting her candy. Margaret was the only one who chuckled..
“Well, that’s very sweet of you, Ernest, but why rush these things? You and Wynter have only gone out for a couple of weeks.”

“I see no harm speeding things up a bit, Madam Margaret,” Dalton countered good-naturedly. “With my busy schedule, I’m afraid Wynter might get sick of not seeing me often enough and change her mind about me. I’d better make things official before then.”
“I hope you’ll both work things out during your talk then,” Margaret said teasingly, though she directed this at Wynter more than Dalton.
She was pleased to hear Dalton bring up the matter of family introductions, and she took it as a sign that he was serious about Wynter. Far be it from her to stop such wonderful progress!
Wynter was led away by Dalton after that. In the privacy of the elevator, she narrowed her eyes at him. “Care to explain why you decided to bring up the matter of introducing me to your parents without consulting me first?”
Dalton cast Wynter’s delicate profile a sidelong glance. Amused, asked, “Are you angry?”
“I feel like I was tricked,” Wynter said as she glared at him. She the looked away. She didn’t like staring at his pretty face for too long, she would be inclined to forgive him.
He reached out to tuck her hair behind her ear and coaxed, “My grandfather has been pestering me to bring you home after he
learned of your arrival in Kingbourne. I told him I’d have to ask you
first.”
That much was true. It wasn’t as if Dalton could use the family fleet to escort Wynter to Kingbourne without Theo knowing.
“We can wait if you want.” Dalton’s usual aloofness was replaced b
