Chapter 121 A Boyfriend

Anyone could tell that Larry looked upset. The reporter was confused, and the rest

felt awkward.

This was especially the case for the Shepherds, who came to accompany him. They had always been

the face of Southdale. Whenever there was a huge event with

people from outside the city, Charlie would always be the center of attention.

But Mr. Hilton, who was from Kingbourne, came and showed the Shepherd family

who was the boss here.

Being the second–in–command of the Welkin Corporation, he was an important investor whom

everyone in the industry had to please. Even the Shepherd family had

no choice but to swallow their pride!

In the alley, Susan saw the scene on TV as well. She smiled happily. “Another

important man came here this time. If not, the Shepherd family wouldn’t have put on

a smile in that situation.”

Wynter hung up. She was surprised. “Do you know the Shepherds?”

“Not really, but I’m close with your grandma.” Susan said grumpily, “Nobody in that family is

kindhearted. But Wynter, I remember that you’re engaged to the eldest grandson of their family, aren’t

you?“”

Only then did Wynter remember how they canceled the engagement right in front of

everyone. “Not anymore.”

“Not anymore?” Susan was mad. “They really don’t walk their talk, do they? They’re just bullying you

guys because they think that Margaret isn’t doing well now! I have to ask my daughter to avenge you!”

Wynter pulled her back. She sounded helpless, but she found it funny. “Aunt Susan, I really don’t like

that ugly man from the Shepherd family.”

Susan was suspicious./Really? Didn’t you want to marry him when you were in middle school? You

even said that he saved your life before.”

Did that happen? Wynter was patient. “I was too immature back then. I’ve forgotten

about it.

“Did you really forget it or do you just not want your grandma to worry for you?”

Margaret had just treated a patient. She was in great spirits. When she heard what Wynter said, she

appeared guilty. “Did the Shepherd family cancel the engagement

because of an old hag like me?”

Wynter stepped forward to hold her hand. “Grandma, you’re overthinking again. The Shepherd family

just doesn’t think I’m worthy enough. It has nothing to do with you.”

Margaret became even angrier. “How dare they think that way!”

Wynter helped her sit down. She gave her a reason. “Perhaps it’s because of my family background?”

Margaret caressed her face. “In the end, it’s all just because of how useless and old I am now. Wynter.

don’t worry. If I speak up, the Shepherds will still have to carry out the engagement. You and Charlie

can still have a chance to be together.”

“Grandma, listen to me.” Wynter saw how Margaret had teared up. She knew that Margaret would

certainly blame herself for this if she couldn’t come up with a good explanation. She raised her

eyebrow. “It was indeed hard for me to forget about what happened. But I got better after having a

boyfriend.”

As expected, it caught Margaret’s attention. “A boyfriend!”

Susan exclaimed in surprise, “You’re talking about that handsome friend of yours, aren’t you?”

“That’s him! Great! He’s a good person. Although he’s weak, he’s steady and handsome.” Margaret

looked satisfied and proud. Lifting her head, she asked, ” Wynter, is that who you’re talking about?”

Wynter couldn’t catch up with the two old ladies anymore. She was a little hesitant.

Uh…”

Margaret lowered her gaze. “I know you’re lying to me after all.” What! She’d have to say yes even if it

wasn’t true now!

Wynter chuckled. “It’s him.”

Margaret was overjoyed. Really?

Wynter wiped Margaret’s hands for her. “When did I ever lie to you?”

Margaret’s smile grew wider. “I knew it from the way you look at him. So he’s your boyfriend after all.”

Wynter couldn’t tell her that it was because he paid her a lot.

Margaret asked further, “Why has he not been visiting these days then? Shouldn’t young couples who

just got together stick with each other every day?”
