156 A Token of Love From Dalton
Wynter stared at the mark she left on Daltor’s neck and chuckled. The already told you that this is your
payment for today’s medication. What responsibilities do I hold?”
“I can pay for today’s medication.” Perhaps he had a slight cold, Daltons voice sounded slighty frense
When he chuckled softly, his breath tickled her ear. “If you bear the responsibility, you can bine me
anytime.”
Slightly tempted by his suggestion, Wynter’s l*ps curved into an alluring smile, I think about
“Seriously, give it some thought. While you need a boyfriend, Dalton chuckled lightly, “My family is
urging me to settle down too.”
Wynter raised her eyebrow. “Then why did you call off the engagement?
She hadn’t forgotten the words she heard in the hospital.
Dalton explained, his voice clear and steady. “I have to right to choose my own bride too, dont ?
Besides, with my health condition, do you expect someone to marry into loneliness?”
“You have a point.” Wynter nodded solemnly, her beautiful face carrying a sense of seriousness
Dalton chuckled softly, seemingly helpless, “That was rhetorical.”
He had said it to humor her, not to gain her empathy.
But there was one thing he genuinely meant he had the right to choose his own bride
He would resolve the issues with the Quinnell family appropriately.
If it weren’t for the old man’s drunken words claiming that someone in the Quinnell family could dispel
Theo’s personal burdens, Theo wouldn’t have agreed to the engagement in the first place, especially
since he was intoxicated at that time.
Back then, Dalton was just a year old baby, yet they had arranged a marriage for him without even
considering whether the Quinnells had a daughter or not.
However, since it was partly the Yarwoods‘ fault too, Dalton would definitely compensate the Quinnes
properly. As for other matters…
Dalton cast his gaze at the face lying in his arms, his smile clear and profound.
Thanks to this woman, he started to take certain inconsequential matters into consideration.
Unaware of his thoughts, Wynter was playing with the pendant hanging from his waist with her fingers.
“I don’t often see people wear a sugilite pendant with a suit, if any.”
Well, it was understandable though, since not everyone had Dalton’s physique, bearing, and strikingly
handsome face.
Wynter had to admit that no matter how many times she looked, baltors cold yet charming face ever
once failed to captivate her
Not to mention his unique yet stylish taste in fashion, which complemented his overall demeand
perfectly.
anyone were to dress like him, they might end up either mismatched or hideous
Noticing Wynter’s gaze fized on his pendant, Dalton unfastened it and placed it on her palm. “Here, you
can have it,”
“Me?” Wynter raised her eyebrow. “I don’t have any suitable clothes to match it with.”
Her inexpensive T–shirts would only diminish the elegance of this pendant
Dalton didn’t want her to return it. “You can match it with whatever clothes you want. After all, it’s just
an
accessory
As a matter of fact, Dalton had been wearing that sugilite pendant since he was a month old and had
rarely taken it off.
The pendant had come as a set with the red beaded bracelet on his wrist. While the beads were
crimson red, the pendant was deep purple
Dalton was quite impressed by Wynter’s taste, picking out something that special
Wynter looked at him, her voice sounded lazy. “This isn’t some kind of engagement token, is it?
“No.” Seeing her hesitation, Dalton took the pendant and wore it around her waist.
He said indifferently, “I wouldn’t use just this as an engagement token. My engagement token will
definitely be something grand and extravagant.
“Very well then,” Engrossed in admiring her new pendant, Wynter wasn’t paying attention to his words.
She was deeply fond of the color of the pendant. Not only was such pure purple sugilite rare, but it was
also known for promoting healing and protection
“I won’t take it for free. How much is it? I transfer the money to you later.”
Dalton slightly furrowed his brow, his tone devoid of warmth. “You’ve given me so many lozenges, all
made with top–quality wild root herb, and you haven’t taken even a cent from me. Yet, you want to pay
me for my gift?”
