225 Theo Found Out That Dalton Is Dating
The butler answered politely, “Dr. Genlus, Mr. Yarwood is currently in a meeting. He mentioned that you
can call him on his private number once you wake up. He’ll make sure to
answer.
“That won’t be necessary I won’t disturb his meeting” Wynter continued with a smile,” I’m leaving to
take my exams now. Thank you for the coffee. It’s very good‘
The butler smiled. “It’s my pleasure to serve you.” He found it remarkable that the genius doctor
remained this calm and composed even after being cared for so attentively by Dalton.
Wynter arrived at the examination hall five minutes early. She was usually less sharp during afternoon
exams. But since she had rested exceptionally well, she answered the questions even faster than she
did in the morning session.
By 4:00 p.m., Wynter had submitted the papers for all of her subjects. The invigilators had been waiting
for her to finish her last question.
After collecting the papers, Victor announced over the PA system that Wynter’s results would be posted
on the bulletin board the next morning and that interested students could head over there to check.
Meanwhile, Theo had received Max’s message.
He had been contemplating how to gracefully decline the persistent advances from esteemed families
seeking marriage alliances. Thus, Max’s message came as a delightful surprise.
Looking down at his phone, he announced calmly, “I really can’t do anything about it. It’s because my
grandson is already taken.”
“He’s taken?”
At a prestigious banquet in Kingbourne, a frenzy erupted among the attendees.
“Since when did Mr. Yarwood start dating?”
“It must be a lie. How could Mr. Yarwood… He even broke off the engagement with the Quinnells.”
“Mr. Yarwood Senior said it himself. He can’t be lying!”
As the socialites whispered among themselves, their discussions gradually reached Naomi’s

ears.
Naomi had come with Lydia. Both of them were dressed in formal gowns. Yet, their styles were starkly
different. They were holding hands as their conversations were intersped by laughter.
Showing no sign of her previous haughtiness in Southdale, Naomi appeared pure and innocent as she
stood next to Lydia. When she heard about the news, her bright eyes
dimmed.
“It’s Naomi, stop talking.”
There wasn’t a single lady from a prestigious family who wasn’t interested in the young head of the
Yarwood family. However, none of them dared to act on their feelings.
Despite being of the same age, Dalton always seemed unattainable. There were hardly any ladies like
Naomi. She was just like an innocent lad
and her crush was an open secret to
everyone.
Seeing her upset, Lydia felt bad for her and patted her shoulder gently. “Don’t overthink it. I know
Dalton well. He would never let any girl get close to him.” Being in a romantic relationship especially
was out of the question.
Naomi felt a strong sense of unease, but she couldn’t rush things. She bit her l*p and said, It’s okay if
he’s in a relationship. I’m fine as long as I can watch him from afar.
“I- I don’t expect him to notice me either.” The more Naomi put it that way, the more others felt sorry for
her.
The other socialites expressed their willingness to help her. Compared to an “unknown” person who
popped out of nowhere, they would definitely stand by Naomi’s side.
At the very least, she was the Quinnells‘ little princess. They didn’t even know who the other party was.
However, Lydia frowned at this, keeping her thoughts to herself. If Dalton had really gotten himself a
girlfriend, then he must have chosen her himself. Nothing could influence his decision, except for his
preferences.
She had been rooting for Naomi because Dalton was single then. But if he was truly in a relationship
now, it wouldn’t be appropriate for Naomi to continue with her behavior.
It was one thing to have a crush, but it was another to pine after someone else’s man.
Yet, from everyone’s reaction, it appeared like they hadn’t realized their wrong behavior. How could
they continue backing Naomi and belittle a girl they hadn’t even met? It was truly strange…
