Chapter 220

“Ophelia, what should we do?!” Lucy said anxiously.

Lenora was both angry and worried: “This is really too much! It was clearly Bessie who was shameless, constantly bullying and secretly harming my cousin. Why should my cousin apologize to her?”

Compared to the two of them, Ophelia was much more composed. She was unaffected and continued to lead them to the line, planning to try the new cafeteria’s food as scheduled.

“How could you still eat!” Lucy was anxious.

“Why can’t you eat?” Ophelia said confidently. “I called my husband and spent a long time persuading him before he finally agreed to stay after class instead of going home right now. If I don’t eat, wouldn’t that make my call a waste?”

After the incident with Elva, Winford’s desire for control over her became stronger, but she was very willing to cooperate with him, hoping he could be a little happier.

Seeing that Lucy and Lenora were really worried, she smiled and reminded them, “Adalynn did come from Kingchester, but my husband did too.”

Lucy and Lenora were momentarily stunned, then they reacted.

“That’s right!”

Lenora knew that her cousin’s husband was the rumored Mr. Winford, but she usually did not enjoy socializing and was not very familiar with the happenings in the circle, so she did not quite understand what the name “Mr. Winford” meant in high society. Seeing her cousin’s completely unconcerned expression, she realized that her cousin’s husband might be even more formidable than she had imagined.

As for Lucy, although she did not know Winford’s identity, she somewhat understood Ophelia’s subtle hint. The meaning of Ophelia’s words was that her husband not only came from Kingchester, but he was also quite impressive, and his status was definitely not lower than that of the wealthy family behind Adalynn.

After finishing her evening class, Ophelia saw Winford’s car waiting not far from the school as soon as she stepped out. She ran over and saw the man sitting in the back seat, surprised, “Husband, how did you come here?”

In such a nearby place, it wouldn’t take long to walk there, yet Winford actually came to pick her up in person!

Winford seemed somewhat dissatisfied with her reaction; as soon as she got into the car, the man pulled her into his arms.

“What’s wrong? Are you not happy to see me?”

Ophelia hurriedly wrapped her arms around his waist and explained, “No, it’s just an accident. I was so close, and my husband came to pick me up, which was a bit of a surprising surprise.”

He coaxed her again, “Moreover, my husband is usually so busy, I didn’t want to trouble you too much; I wanted you to rest a bit more.”

Winford’s expression softened a bit, and he held her close, saying, “Nothing was more important than you.”

This ordinary confession made Ophelia’s heart race a little faster.

The car started, and Winford asked her again, “Is the food at the new cafeteria good?”

Ophelia called him and said she wouldn’t be home in the afternoon because she was going to be with her classmates. He asked her about the details repeatedly and still felt unsatisfied, wanting to hear her say it again.

Ophelia knew the issues in his heart. She didn’t mind reporting to him about every little detail of what she had done. She obediently lay in his arms and told him everything about what she had eaten and which dish she liked the most.

As for Adalynn and Bessie, she didn’t mention a word about them.
