Chapter 293

“I was just a bit worried that dealing with the Cullen family like this wouldn’t cause any problems. After all, Arturo was your uncle’s son.” Ophelia’s tone was filled with concern. Since her return from her past life, she knew that although Arturo was just an illegitimate son, William was very fond of him. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have arranged for this illegitimate child to be well taken care of in Minston despite pressure from his legitimate wife, who came from a good family.

However, at that time, Winford acted with thunderous means and directly destroyed the Pruitt family in Minston without a second thought. How could William possibly allow that? Although she was happy about the incident in the Cullen family, she wouldn’t have been so happy if it caused trouble for her husband.

Seeing the genuine worry in her eyes, a tense string in Winford’s mind suddenly relaxed, and certain dark and obsessive emotions quietly receded.

“Nothing’s wrong,” he said, lowering his head and gently kissing the corner of her eye. “Just a small matter of the Pruitt family in Minston.” Among his past opponents, he was not even worth mentioning. He killed the Pruitt family; it was easier than stepping on an ant.

“Really?” Ophelia glanced at the still-ringing phone.

Winford noticed. “Baby, your husband wasn’t that useless.” It was just a mere William; it wasn’t that he couldn’t do anything, he simply couldn’t be bothered to pay attention. He casually hung up the phone and lightly instructed Graham beside him, “Tell him that if he calls again, I won’t mind dealing with him and his son together.” Graham responded.

Ophelia’s ears turned red from the unintended “baby” that had just slipped out. Looking at the man’s imposing profile, which exuded an innate authority, she covered her heart, feeling it inexplicably race a little faster. Oh my gosh, how could her husband be so handsome!

“What were you thinking?” Winford turned around.

“Thinking about when you would call me ‘baby’ again…!” she said drowsily, and as soon as the words left her lips, she suddenly became alert, realizing what she had just said, and quickly covered her mouth! Ophelia’s eyes were wide open, and her face was so red that it seemed like it could bleed.

“I was not, I did not…!” She huffed and puffed, wanting to argue, while the little voice inside her screamed loudly. Oh my God, how could she be so embarrassed in front of her husband!

Winford was also taken aback for a moment, and then a trace of a smile passed through his dark and deep eyes. “Baby,” he said in her ear, his voice low and hoarse, gentle and lingering, as he kissed her temple. “Lia had always been my baby.”

Ophelia felt her mind go blank and thought she was about to faint. He, how could he be so flirty?! Lenora’s sudden phone call saved Ophelia. She covered her heart, as if granted a reprieve, and fled in panic, fearing that if she stayed with the man any longer, her heart would give out!

Looking at his little wife’s flustered and panicked figure, a hint of an indulgent smile crossed Winford’s dark eyes.

“Outside.”

“Cousin, do you have time? It’s just… Cousin? Hello?” On the other end of the phone, Lenora talked for a long time and realized that Ophelia was silent.

“Oh… cough! What did you just say?” Ophelia woke up, pressed her hand against her chest to calm her still-racing heart, and shook her head to dismiss Winford and that enchanting “darling.”
