Chapter 289

289 Wynter’s Keepers
Sebastian demanded sharply, “Dalton’s with Wynter? What for?
Everyone in Kingbourne is still talking about him calling off the engagement!”
Elliot’s l*ps pressed into a thin line “I don’t know. But according to
him, he’s dating Wynter.”
“Excuse me?” The whole group burst into an uproar.
“What is he playing at?”
“Come on, superstar. Explain your boss’ behavior!”
“How did our sister and Dalton become an item?”
All the questions were directed at none other than the youngest of the brothers, Tobias.
However, Tobias had been quiet since Elliot dropped the news of
Wynter’s return and was currently searching for flights. Now that Wynter had been found, he would
take it upon himself to bring her
home.
Meanwhile, his stylist was raving about his flawless skin and saying, ”
Here we go, Mr. Quinnell. This make-up suits you. Don’t listen to what the haters say online about you
being a womanizer.”
The stylist was caught off guard when Tobias asked her, “Say, Jacqueline, what do young women like
these days? I want to get my
precious baby a surprise gift!”

With his goofy grin, he looked nothing like the rising new star he was supposed to be. Jacqueline and
Tobias’ manager, Ursula Lowenstein, were rendered speechless.
Tobias ignored both of them as he typed out a text. “I think the
engagement is better off canceled, Elliot. Wynter’s too young to get
married, especially to an arrogant prick like my boss.”
Ursula pursed her l*ps when she saw this. She wondered what she had done wrong to be handed the
task of managing Tobias, who thought so little of Dalton that he would badm*uth the man behind.
his back.
She paused as she craned her neck to see who Tobias was texting.
Tobias sensed Ursula breathing down his neck and quickly turned his
screen away from her prying gaze.
Meanwhile, Albert said through a voice note, “I agree with Tobias. If
Dalton is serious about Wynter, then he’ll have to prove it to us. Why
backtrack after canceling the engagement?”
“I’ll talk to Grandpa about this,” Elliot said, irked that Dalton had called off his engagement with Wynter
before dating her.
“Also, tell Wynter that she doesn’t have to be afraid of anyone.
coercing her into marriage. The Yarwoods might be tough to deal
with, but at least she has us to back her up,” Albert added.
The Quinnells had always been protective of their own, especially of
Wynter.
When Tobias saw that a decision had been made by his brothers, he
privately messaged Elliot. “Send me a photo of Wynter, Elliot.”
“Focus on dealing with Dalton, Tobias. I can take care of Wynter here,
Elliot replied, already knowing what Tobias was up to.
Unfortunately for Tobias, he could do all the digging he wanted and he still wouldn’t get any information
out of Elliot.
If he wanted to know everything, he was going to have to wait until
Wynter was back home in Kingbourne.
The Quinnell brothers were good at keeping a secret. None of them
told Shane that Wynter had been found.
Shane and his sons had been divided ever since the former decided to
adopt Naomi, albeit informally.
Naturally, the brothers couldn’t care less about what happened in Kingbourne since they all had
business elsewhere. Now that Wynter
was coming home, they decided that they could carry on their present
endeavors in Kingbourne.
They were going to become Wynter’s support system, especially after
the Yarwoods had called off the engagement. These brothers were
determined to show Wynter that there were plenty more fish in the
sea than Dalton.
As for Dalton, he was oblivious that his gesture from a while ago had
grandly pissed off Wynter’s brothers
He was on a call as he stood in the elevatory bay, looking every bit the
powerful and elegant businessman that he was.
Surrounding him was an intimidating entourage of bodyguards, which
successfully kept passers-by from drawing close to Dalton.

Wynter waited until Dalton hung up the call before walking over.
When Dalton saw her, amusement danced in his dark eyes. “Here to
see me?”
“Yeah.” Wynter smiled. “I need to talk to you about something.”
He didn’t think much of this. He took the scarf which his bodyguard
handed to him and draped it around Wynter’s neck instead of his own.
“What is it?” he asked her gently.
Dalton wrapped the scarf around Wynter’s neck with an easy grace.
At this proximity, she could smell the faint and pleasant scent of
herbs on him.
The scarf was soft and covered her chin, drawing attention to
Wynter’s delicate features. She was disarmingly beautiful.
“I don’t recall ever having met your family,” she said forthrightly.
