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

Chapter 291 Hidden Urges

Wynter gaped at him. She had expected something more than what Dalton had already told her.

An earnest look registered on Dalton’s handsome face. “I used to feel like I was shackled to that fable, that it didn’t matter if I struggled to break free because I’d never get to decide who I want to marry.”

“But I can cure your-”

Wynter was cut off by Dalton, who chuckled and said, “But now, I’m grateful for that fable because it has bound me to you.”

For once, surprise crossed Wynter’s beautiful features when she heard Dalton’s words.

He pulled her into his embrace. She could hear the steady beating of his heart. “I’ve liked you for a long time, and it has nothing to do with who you are,” he assured her.

She craned her neck to look up at him, but he seemed unsettled as he pressed her face against his shoulder.

He nervously vouched for himself. “If it helps with your consideration, I don’t have any bad habits, and I’m a good breadwinner.”

Wynter hummed in response. The tip of her nose was buried into the warm fabric of his shirt. She could feel him breathing, and it was a little faster than usual.

confrontation had led to a different conversation, one with which she

had no experience.

As if he were coaxing her, Dalton muttered quietly, “I do believe that. biting your official boyfriend is more justifiable than biting a fake one.”
