Chapter 1237
“You’ve tried to hide it from them for so long before. I’m just afraid that they won’t let it slide.” Duncan
frowned. ” If they go too far, don’t put up with it. Fight back, and if something happens, I’ll support you.”
Everett felt amused when he heard this. He just agreed without talking back to him, which was a rare
sight.
Duncan seemed a little restless. He was more anxious than Everett, who wanted to meet his future
brothers–in- law.
“I need to check if we have enough money for a dowry for the Winters family.” He said, “If you can
make that girl give you her hand in marriage, I’ll give her half of the land the Craig family owned as a
dowry.”
Everett smiled and shook his head.
“Don’t worry. I’ve saved some money myself. I can still afford some betrothal gifts.”
‘It’s just that, right now, this is not the biggest problem.‘
Everett lowered his gaze, looking a little down.
‘A few days ago, Ninian was in danger because of me. The C
Craig family saw this with their own eyes. What’s more, my illness acted up, too.
‘Although the doctor Duncan hired has stabilized my condition, the Winters family has also witnessed
my illness at its worst.
‘No matter how I look at it, I’m just afraid that they might not forgive me.
‘This must be why Duncan also feels so anxious.
‘After all, every single one of the Winters family is hard to deal with.
“This was not my original plan.
‘I’ve won Melody and Harold over. Right now, I’m dealing with a project with George and hoping to get
his approval.
‘It can be a little tricky when it comes to Alden, but I still have tricks up my sleeves. After all, he has
been
investigating me for a long time with his secret identity.
‘I’m plotting my plan to keep Ninian safe.
‘But Rowan showed up out of nowhere.
“This was out of my prediction.
‘I’ve always been level–headed and calm.
‘Now that the Winters family found out about this, I’ll take this chance to come clear to them. Sooner or
later, I’ll have to meet them. I’ve taken their precious little princess from them. Naturally, I need to brace
myself for
warfare.‘
Soon, the assistant returned with his clothes. He took off his hospital gown and changed into a well–cut
shirt and trousers, looking like a gentleman.
He looked tall and slender. His delicate and handsome appearance made it hard for people to take
their eyes off him. He might be young, but he was level–headed, indifferent, and had a sharp gaze.
Everyone was amazed when they saw him. He looked just like a mythical creature.
Duncan was satisfied with the way Everett looked. He looked impeccable, no matter in terms of his
family background, appearance, or personality.
‘If the Winters family still refuses to approve Everett, that bastard George must be absolutely blind.
‘The Winters family isn’t the only one who has protective siblings, we also have an extremely protective
brother!”
Duncan was happy with the way Everett looked. He commanded his assistant to call over a few more
bodyguards.
‘It’ll be best if we stay cautious.
If things don’t go well, and they start fighting, we have to think of a way to snatch Ninian!‘
While Duncan was deep in thought, the Winters family’s
car arrived.
