Chapter270
Everyone widened their eyes in disbelief, looking at the pair who were intimately embracing each other, doubting whether they had heard wrong and wondering if their eyes were playing tricks on them.
Ophelia called Mr. Winford what?
“Old, husband…?!”
Winford lowered his gaze and looked at the girl in his arms, who was smiling brightly. It was undeniable that his heart, which had always been as hard as iron, suddenly softened in that moment, mixed with a hint of indulgence and helplessness.
“I wouldn’t miss it,” he said.
Although he did not agree at that time, today, when she was leaving, he went out to handle some matters in order to express his attitude towards her. However, thinking of his little wife’s stubborn nature, and
considering that if he didn’t go, she might be bullied and suffer grievances, he couldn’t bear it.
She had long anticipated his reaction. She was deliberately pushing him to come over, but even knowing all of this, he still couldn’t get angry. Looking at his bright–eyed little wife, he only felt helpless.
“Did you reach your goal? Then it was time to go home.” He gently pinched her cute, soft earlobe, an action that could be described as affectionate, and he said indulgently.
Ophelia suddenly came to her senses. Was she leaving just like that? That wouldn’t do! She hadn’t yet delivered the slap that was due!
However, before she could speak, someone approached her.
“Uncle Winford?” Adalynn stepped forward, looking at Winford and Ophelia with uncertainty.
Ophelia and Mr. Winford…? How could that be?!
In the blink of an eye, she thought of the figure she had caught a glimpse of at Sunset Vista. At that time, she had thought she was mistaken, but now it seemed it was indeed Ophelia!
Winford lifted his eyelids and finally gave someone a glance. Looking at Adalynn, his tone was indifferent-
“Who were you? I didn’t remember the Pruitt family having a younger member like you.”
Adalynn looked anxious and hurriedly explained, “Uncle Winford, I, I was Cullen’s fiancee!”
“Cullen?”
The name made Winford’s presence suddenly become very frightening.
He did not forget that the other party, unaware of the danger, was coveting his little wife!
In an instant, Adalynn felt as if a mountain had suddenly pressed down on her head, causing her scalp to tingle and her legs to go weak!
This was the aura of Mr. Winford!
Adalynn broke out in a cold sweat on her forehead, “Uncle Winford…?”
Did she say something wrong?
“Who allowed you to call me ‘husband‘ like that?” Ophelia suddenly

snorted coldly. Her tone was filled with disdain as she wrapped her arms. around the man’s waist and leaned against him, looking utterly spoiled.
Adalynn’s expression suddenly darkened. “Mr. Winford is my uncle, and I should call him that. Do I need your permission? Who do you think you are-”
Before she finished speaking, Winford’s cold and piercing gaze suddenly fell on her. The way he looked at her was as if he were looking at a corpse!
“Who gave you the guts to speak to her like that?”
The chilling pressure in the words made Adalynn’s blood freeze instantly!
“Uncle, Uncle Winford, I…”
Adalynn was frightened by the man, but she still felt unwilling to accept it and wanted to ask why she couldn’t speak to Ophelia like that.
It should be known that she was Winford’s most valued nephew and Cullen’s fiancee! No matter how much Ophelia tried, could her status surpass hers?
