Chapter 1273 A Crush

“Are you aware of this?” Henry asked in surprise, gaining a deeper understanding of Wynter,

Wynter gently nodded. “I’ve heard about it, but there’s

something I’d like to confirm. Just what part does the Darnell family play in this situation? And why would their new head send an invitation to the Quinnell family?”

Such questions had been weighing on her mind. However she looked at it, it seemed unlikely that the Darnells would want the Quinnells at the meeting.

Upon hearing Wynter’s inquiry, Henry furrowed his brows. “Are you saying that the Darnell family has sent you an invitation to the Chamber of Commerce?”

“They even sent it to the hotel. It’s funny, isn’t it?” Wynter

smirked.

Henry pondered and replied, “Let me check with Marco. He might know something.”

Shortly after, an elderly man, whose steps barely made a sound, walked into the room.

After Henry posed the question through sign language, Marco Vaughan pulled out his phone in response. Henry gazed at the screen and fell silent for a moment before turning the phone toward Wynter.

Wynter was puzzled by the unusual exchange until she saw the

message on the screen.

“Is this credible?” she wondered aloud. However she looked at it, the message seemed to hint at some dubious gossip.

Henry chuckled. “Nothing concerning Hawford’s aristocratic families escapes Marco’s notice. He was Mr. Gordon’s best informant.”

“Does that include romance rumors?” Wynter asked pointedly

since the rumor concerned her mother.

Henry cleared his throat sheepishly. “Well, he and Ms. Marie. did attend the same school.”

Baffled by the revelation, Wynter couldn’t help grabbing her head in confusion. “That doesn’t mean everyone falls for their

classmates! Should I ask Mom about this?”

Henry responded with a serious expression, “In that case, I’m sure you’ll get an answer promptly.”

“To be honest, I’m not really interested in my parents‘ love story.” Wynter sighed as she mentally prepared herself.

Worried that she might feel uneasy inquiring about such

rumors, Henry attempted to offer some advice when Wynter

cut in.

“What does Lucius Darnell look like? Is he handsome or tall?” Wynter wondered aloud.

Henry was stunned by her question and turned to Marco, who gave an estimate of Lucius‘ height.

“Not bad. Has he put on any weight? He’s not losing any hair

either, is he?” Wynter inquired further.

Marco shook his head and gave a thumbs–up in response to her questions.

Seeing Marco’s response, Wynter let out a soft chuckle. “It’s too bad we don’t have his picture. No worries, we’ll see him at the meeting tomorrow. But are you sure he has a crush on Mom, Mr. Vaughan?”

Marco adjusted his glasses and swiftly laid out all his records, leaving Wynter stupefied. She wondered why Marco insisted Lucius was infatuated with Marie when he seemed more like a flirtatious playboy.

So, Marco provided evidence to support his claim. He drew a circle on Lucius‘ eyes, hinting at the expression in his gaze.

Unfortunately, Wynter wasn’t attuned to romantic cues. She kept the clues away to seek further advice at a later time.

However, Wynter was more inclined to believe that Lucius was annoyed by Marie’s conservatism and brilliance rather than infatuated with her.

If that were the case, why would he send the Quinnells an invitation? It was hard to tell what was on a man’s mind.

With that, Wynter decided to seek Dalton’s help once she returned from the old Quinnell residence.

Meanwhile, at a prestigious hotel, Marie received an unexpected call right after her shower.
