Ninianâs Twitter followers have soared to more than thirty million, even though she had not shared
anything.
She looked at her Twitter account with a silly smile on her face.
At the dining table, Everett could not help but chuckle when he noticed her reaction. âLook how happy
you are. Your fans will grow even faster in the future. Soon, youâll be at the top of the chart.â
âHehe, Iâm so excited!â Ninian smiled and looked at Everett. âHoney, when my followers exceed fifty
million, Iâll propose to you, okay?â
Everett was stunned. He became flustered. âYou⦠propose to me?â
âYes!â Ninian leaned over and held his hand. Her eyes lit up as she said, âJust like how my sister
proposed to Brooklyn. What do you think?â
Everett held her hand tightly. It was a little too tight, as he forgot to control his strength. His eyes lit up
in excitement.
However, after a while, he shook his head.
âHow can I let you be the one to propose?â He said in a low voice, âI want you to be happy and free of
worry. Let me be the one creating happiness for you.â
âIâll eventually be a useless person.â
âNo, you wonât.â He said clearly, âYouâll always be my precious honey.â
His genuine confession warmed Ninianâs heart.
âIâll wait and see, then,â she said daintily, with a hint of excitement in her gaze.
Everett could not help but smile dotingly and affectionately, âDonât worry, you wonât have to wait for long. I canât wait for long, too.â
After a wholesome chat, Ninian asked, âBy the way, have you guys caught Rowan?â
Everettâs gaze darkened when Ninian brought it up. He pursed his lips, unwilling to speak about it.
However, when he saw her calm and genuine gaze, he said, âNot yet.â
âWe destroyed all his forces and caught âhimâ, but that man turned out to be his decoy. And he was paid to die on his behalf.
âSo, in the end, he escaped.â
âEscaped?!â Her face turned pale. âWill he come back for you?â
âIâm waiting for him to do just that!â He smiled coldly.â
((
Even if he doesnât come to me, he wonât be able to hide for long. He has nothing now. Thereâs no way he can hide his whereabouts from us.â
Ninian bit her lower lip and stayed silent, feeling uneasy.
âRowan is so persistent. Can we really defeat him?
âThe Craig and Winters families surrounded and suppressed him, but he still managed to escape. This is horrifying.â
âDoes he have any weaknesses? Or any Achillesâ heels?â
Everettâs expression froze when he heard this. His eyes darkened, and his gaze was filled with pain.
âHe does.â He said, âHe cares a lot about my mother.â
âThis was the Craig familyâs top secret.
âThis was also the Craig familyâs ugliest stain on their honor.
âWhen Rowan was young, he had a crush on my mother. He even imprisoned her for a decade.
âWhen Anthony found out, he didnât kill him because of the bond they shared.
âHowever, he was beaten up, exiled, and removed from the Craig familyâs family tree.
âYoung Rowan loved his sisterâinâlaw, but he could only watch her from the Craig familyâs mansion, the
place where he could never set foot ever again.
âThat was mainly why he clearly had the upper hand at the time, and why he complied when I offered
him a way back to the Craig family.â
