The True Heiress's Return

Chapter 304

Walter timed his retreat perfectly, just within the limits Shakira could accept. Her cheeks were flushed red, tinged with a beautiful Inue.

The previous coldness and ruthlessness she showed while punishing Ted had now completely turned into gentle affection.

He held her shoulders, allowing her to rest against his chest and breathe steadily. Shakira played with the special gold button on his shirt. "What made you think to come over?* Walter answered honestly. "I was worried you might drink tonight; I couldn't stop worrying."

"Well, alright. I only had a little bit," she insisted, defending her innocence.

Walter raised his eyebrows. "Are you sure it's not because you knew I was here, so you didn't dare to drink more?"

Shakira thought, 'Does he really need to be so blunt? That's kind of harsh!

Shakira paused for a moment, remembering Benji had pleaded with her for help. "Benji just messaged me an apology. I've decided to forgive him."

Walter smirked. "He knows how to get away with things."

Shakira found his remark amusing. "Is it possible that you're just being strict as a big brother? It's not really a big issue, so you don't have to be so critical."

"If I hadn't handled it in time, who can assure this wouldn't have caused a rift between us?" Walter said coldly.

If Shakira had been more spoiled or unreasonable, and if they hadn't always opted to talk things out, Fiona's presence would have been an unpredictable ticking time bomb between them.

Shakira reflected and said, "Even if something happens, Benji isn't really at fault. The real culprit is Fiona."

"Fiona is evil, while Benji is just stupid," Walter said, not hiding his disdain.
