The Heiress’ Return: Six Brothers at Her Beck and Call

Perhaps it was because the tea had been steeping for too long that Dalton could feel a bitter taste on the tip of his tongue. It lingered in his throat for quite some time.

Even though it was obvious that Dalton and Wynter were keeping something from her, Margaret wouldn’t bother about it as long as they were on the right track.

However, Dalton didn’t end their chat there.

Instead, he politely poured Margaret another cup of tea. As he did so, his gaze drifted through the window to the woman bustling inside.
