The Winters family asked, “What?”Ninian was dumbstruck before she also said, “What?”He was talking nonsense!When Adina heard that, she instantly grinned. “Grapie, is there a suitable girl whom you want to introduce to Alden?”Meanwhile, Duke frowned. “How can a girl like you always think about love? Your studies and career are the most important!”Ninian was tearfully desperate. “I really didn’t do anything…” She looked askance and glared at Alden, while he remained calm and did not care about her.Ninian narrowed her eyes menacingly and revealed her little canine tooth. “I remember now. I do have a candidate that I can introduce to Alden.”The Winters family instantly became surprised.“Grapie, who is it? How’s the girl? Does Alden like her?” Adina kept asking.Alden also looked at Ninian and realized that there was a scheme brewing in his sister’s eyes. His heart skipped a beat, and he thought of something bad.Ninian continued. “I think Alden likes her. They added eac

Melody and Ninian were speechless.Their expressions instantly darkened, and they looked at Alden with annoyance.Meanwhile, Duke looked refreshed. It was quite good that they were not getting married. He would raise them.“Fine, I’ll just wait for Georgie and Hal’s good news first.” Adina massaged her forehead as she sighed and said, “Al, you… I won’t force you.”Alden was speechless.Alden’s expression totally darkened. His beloved mother was not hinting but clearly expressing her opinion.He slowly took the napkin and wiped the corners of his lips before he smiled faintly and said, “Dad, Mom, I’ve finished my dinner. I still have something to do, so I’ll go out first.”Ninian winked at Melody. Alden was running away out of anger.Alden looked at Ninian with an unfriendly gaze. “Grapie, thank you for helping me explain. When it’s time to talk about Everett and you, I’ll help you out too.”Ninian was at a loss for words.Oh, no!She had made a mistake!Sob! Was it still po

After her heart stopped for a moment, it pounded quickly.It was Alden!He actually showed up in front of her house.Just as Nerola was about to go over and open the door, she suddenly stopped walking. She lowered her head and sized herself up.Her hair was wet, and she was in a bathrobe as well as slippers. She was not fully dressed, and she looked slovenly.How could she meet him like this?Her face instantly turned red.“Hang… Hang on!” She wore her slippers and tried to change her outfit while she blow-dried her hair. Her room was on the right, while the hair dryer was on the left. After she struggled for a while, she became dizzy.He knocked on the door again, and the faster rhythm indicated the person’s emotions at that moment.Nerola stood still and felt like crying.Fine, she would resign herself to fate and just be.If he wanted to despise her, she could not do anything about it.She had blocked his number and ignored him for so long, so she guessed that she had al

She did not intentionally block him.She might have even felt reluctant to block him.This understanding made Alden happier. He slowly cleaned up the first aid kit and washed his hands before he started observing the layout of the place.The apartment was not big, but it was simple and clean. Some home furnishings were neatly arranged in each spot, and it felt very homey.Alden then cast his sight on the wall. There were some framed paintings on it.They were paintings of people, and although the brush strokes were obviously not professional enough, they captured the people’s features and looks well. Hence, they looked lively.“Um… I just drew them for fun.” After Nerola got changed and walked out, she blushed in embarrassment when she saw Alden staring at the paintings on the wall.“These paintings are very spiritual. You can study them further.” Alden turned back. The moment he saw her, he was slightly startled, and a quick glimpse of amazement crossed his eyes.Nerola was we

Alden raised his hand and surrendered. He took two steps back, but his eyes were filled with delight.Once their misunderstanding was solved, he became more straightforward and braver than anyone else. He did not have to be like George, who carried things and dwelled endlessly, or even thought too much about the relationship from the girl’s perspective and behaved in a way he thought was good for the girl.All Alden wanted to do was be resolute.As long as she did not reject him, he could take one more step forward. As long as she responded, he could even bring her home.He was about to successfully bring Nerola home after meeting her for the third time.By the time he blow-dried Nerola’s hair, it was very late.Alden came from a reputable family, and he was well-mannered. After he raised his hand and glanced at his watch, he said, “Rest early. I’ll go back first.”Nerola sighed in relief.Alden raised his eyebrows before he heard her say, “Hang on!”When Alden looked at her i
