Chapter258
Only Lenora, who had been here before, had dined at the same table with her cousin’s husband, and had even stayed overnight, felt much more at
case than the other two.
I couldn’t help but worry that my cousin’s phone was unreachable and that she didn’t show up after coming. Was something wrong?
The three of them waited in agony, when suddenly, footsteps came down from the stairs, and they all looked in that direction at the same time.
It was Graham who came down to report the situation after going upstairs. He lagged slightly behind, while in front was Ophelia’s husband, who was handsome and imposing.
The three of them instinctively stood up.
“Cousin–in–law,” Lenora greeted with a hint of nervousness.
Lucy and Hannah felt a bit stiff and didn’t know how to address each. other, so they could only nervously say, “Hello.”
In that way, it was just a matter of a 90–degree bow.
Winford nodded, let them sit down, and then asked, “What did you want to see Lia about?”
The three of them hesitated for a moment.
“Lia was not feeling well and was sleeping. If there was anything, you could speak to me directly, and I would have someone take care of it.”
Lenora asked, “Cousin–in–law, how was my cousin’s situation?”
When Ophelia was taken away, she was in so much pain that she couldn’t. walk. Now that she hadn’t seen anyone, she felt a bit worried.
“She was fine.”
Lenora felt a little relieved, exchanged a glance with the other two, and then spoke up: “It’s like this, something happened at school…”
Lenora suppressed her anger and spoke about the matter.
After Winford listened, his face, which had barely shown some warmth moments ago, suddenly turned cold. The chilling aura around him. frightened the three people, making them instantly fall silent.
Lucy mustered her courage and said, “We explained to Ophelia on the forum that Ophelia is your legal wife, but no one believed it at all.”
“However, if you could personally step in, this matter would have been resolved immediately!”
Winford’s gaze was icy cold. “Graham-”
Before the words of instruction could be spoken, weak footsteps suddenly came from the stairs.
It was Ophelia who came down. Her little face was still somewhat pale, and she walked weakly, as if she might fall down the stairs at any moment if she wasn’t careful.
Seeing this scene, Winford’s heart suddenly sank. The three people on the sofa, Lenora included, had not yet reacted when the man sitting opposite. them abruptly stood up and rushed towards the stairs like the wind.
Ophelia looked listless and dazed, raising her hand to rub her eyes. Suddenly, she accidentally stepped into empty space, and her body lost. balance in an instant. Before she had time to cry out, she bumped into a hard chest.
“Who taught you to walk without looking at the road?” The man’s angry voice came from above.
He had a very hard chest, and Ophelia’s nose had been bruised from the impact. Plus, she had almost fallen just moments ago, so she was
extremely alert at that moment.
She looked up and saw Winford’s dark face, and she was frightened. “Honey…”
Her little face was pale, and her voice was weak, making her look pitiful.
Winford felt a sense of dread when he thought about the scene that had just unfolded. What would have happened if he hadn’t been worried and had happened to come over?
I originally wanted to teach her a lesson, but when I met her watery, pitiful gaze. I couldn’t even bring myself to say a word of reprimand, let alone teach her a lesson.
