Chapter 261
261 Wynter Ponders Own Origin
Wynter pondered her origin as well. However, with few memories to begin with, she couldn’t recall
much, let alone her childhood.
Nevertheless, she doubted this matter would have such a
melodramatic twist. How cliche would it be if she turned out to be the
heiress of the Quinnell family?
She dismissed the thought, knowing she looked nothing like Naomi, whom the Quinnells had adopted.
Nonetheless, the answer would soon be unveiled once they demanded an explanation from Fanny …
Observing from a distance, Dalton’s gaze deepened. Although it was inappropriate to put it this way, he
couldn’t help but think how nice it would be if he were the person Wynter rescued from the cellar.
Escaping from a desolate village together would surely have strengthened their bond. Perhaps even
Wynter herself hadn’t realized. the inexplicable feelings she had for Elliot after the incident.
With the breeze blowing behind him, Dalton swallowed hard, and the chill emanating from him grew
stronger.
Sensing the chill, Ethan didn’t dare to approach Dalton, so he reported from the side, “Sir, we’ve
apprehended all the targets. And here’s the
item you requested…”
Quietly observing the unfolding development before her eyes,
especially as she witnessed Elliot’s determination to search for his sister, a mix of fear and hope welled
up in Yarra’s heart.
“Wynter,” she called out.

Wynter turned to Yarra, who had been hiding behind her and clutching the corner of her clothes.
Wary of the crowd around them, Yarra whispered tremulously in Wynter’s ear, “Now that everything’s
over, do you think I can go home
now?”
Yarra couldn’t help but worry if her parents had perhaps long forgotten about her and moved on with
their lives. If that were the
case, her return might disrupt their peaceful life.
“Would they resent me for having a child out of wedlock?” Yarra asked timidly. Her insecurity and
anxiety had turned her into a coward, clinging to Wynter for support.
She then added, trying to comfort herself, “It’s understandable if they can’t accept me. I believe they
still love me and want me back. It’s just that the mountains are too deep for them to find me.”
“They still love you, regardless,” Dalton interjected before Wynter could respond. He walked toward
them with a piece of paper in hand
“They’re still looking for you. They’re currently at the train station i Southdale. Everyone there knows
about a couple selling pancakes while asking about their daughter.’
As Yarra saw the paper Dalton handed to her, she couldn’t hold back
her tears any longer.
“Wynter, this is the picture of me when I left. My parents have been searching for me all this time! I still
have someone who cares for me!”
“Yes, you do,” Wynter affirmed. The hostility that had been brewing in Wynter’s eyes dissipated
considerably.

She turned to Dalton, who stood next to her, and complimented him with a faint smile, “You came
prepared. Nice work.”
“It was nothing, compared to a certain fearless lady who risked her
life in the name of justice.” Dalton’s voice was cold. His emotions were too complex to discern.
She had no idea how stupefied he was when he saw her
livestreaming.
Dalton sighed deeply, taking off his coat and draping it over her shoulders. “Let’s make a deal. Bring
me along if you’re going to do something big like this in the future.
In the end, Dalton still couldn’t bring himself to muster any stern words for Wyter. Instead, he offered
her some lozenges.
“Take some lozenges. I’ll take you to rest after finishing up here,”
Dalton said.
Gratefully, Wynter accepted, feeling a sense of relief as Dalton took charge. She then reached for
Yarra’s hand and urged, “Here, you
should take one too.”
“No thanks. Your boyfriend brought it specially for you. I’ll save it for your wedding favors,” Yarra
declined, her mood visibly brightened
after shedding tears.
Wynter wanted to clarify that Dalton was just her boyfriend by contract. But when she caught sight of
his deep gaze, she
instinctively nodded in agreement.
Clearly pleased with her response, Dalton turned away. A faint curve appeared on his l*ps, enhancing
his charming profile.
