Clearly, Everett did not understand the strange thoughts in Ninianâs mind.
When he saw Ninianâs strange expression, he frowned slightly in confusion.
She noticed that this handsome man still had a little conscience.
âYou just underwent surgery. Iâll disturb you. Besidesâ¦â Ninian blushed as she looked away and said, âBesides, how can I take advantage of you when youâre sick?â
Everett was speechless.
âThe bed is big enough. Come here,â Everett said helplessly.
It was a VVIP ward. The bed was big and comfortable, so it was sufficient for two people to sleep.
Besides, what kind of advantage was this? They were officially a couple.
Even if Ninian wanted to âsleepâ with him, he did not have anything to say about it.
He just felt sorry since she was so innocent.
When Ninian saw Everettâs insistence, she did not say anything else. She just lay down on the bed.
The smell of disinfectant and Everettâs cold scent gave Ninian a sense of familiarity even though she was nervous.
While her heart pounded fast, she heard Everettâs deep and thick voice. âGood girl. Just sleep.â
He patted her back gently and coaxed her softly.
Ninian just felt tired, and a while later, she fell asleep.
Under the light, Everett looked at her coquettish and delicate sleeping face. He smiled faintly, and his eyes were also full of contentment.
The next day, Duncan rushed over in the early morning to replace Ninian.
Before Ninian realized the reason for his actions, the members of the Winters arrived.
George and Alden had come together to bring Ninian back.
When they saw that Duncan was the one accompanying Everett, they secretly sighed in relief.
However, Mr. Craig winked at her when her brothers were not looking, and the implication was clear.
Ninian was speechless.
She finally understood what kind of invisible battle the brothers in their families fought.
Ninian just felt numb. When she glanced at Everett who was across from her, she noticed that he was speechless and helpless too.
With that, Ninian instantly felt that things were balanced.
After she went downstairs with George and Alden, Ninian got into the carâs back passenger seat.
Alden got into the driverâs seat, but unexpectedly, George did not enter the car.
âGeorge, arenât you going back with us?â Ninian asked.
âNo, I have to go to work. My secretary will drive over. Donât worry,â George said gently.
âOh.â Ninian was reassured, so after they bade goodbye, Alden started the car.
âAlden, are we going home now? Are Daddy and Mommy still at home? How long are they planning to stay? How long will you stay before you leave?â
Ninian was so chatty. She kept talking and asking questions.
Alden glanced at her from the rearâview mirror before he pretended to sarcastically say, âDo you still remember us? I thought you were planning to stay in the hospital with Everett.â
When he mentioned the word âstay,â Ninian instantly blushed.
âHey,â she answered before she moved forward and pulled Aldenâs suit. She acted cute and said, âEverett is important, but Daddy, Mommy, and Al are also important! I like Al the most! How long will you stay at home? Can you spend more time with me? I miss you!â
The girl flashed him a sweet smile, and her voice was soft and coquettish, easily getting others to favor her.
