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

Chapter 152 A Heartbeat Away Left Her Flushed

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.

It was quite hard to imagine that someone like Wynter had once been a little girl who dreamt of becoming someone’s bride.

“I’m glad to hear that,” Margaret said with relief.

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.
