Chapter 275 Grabbing Pizza
Ryan still couldn’t wrap his head around it. To think he had asked for Wynter’s help in replaceing Ms.Quinnell, only for her to be the person he had been looking for all along. Ryan couldn’t help cringing in
embarrassment at the recollection.
Wynter behaved as she usually did. When she saw Ryan, she said, ” Hey, Ryan.”
He choked and burst into a coughing fit, feeling awkward. His
reaction caused Wynter to raise a brow.
Regaining his composure, Ryan attempted to offer a courteous smile. However, it came off as more ofa grimace. “Uh, would you mind if we talked privately?”
“I have a feeling I know what you’re going to tell me, Ryan, but can it wait?” A nonchalant laughescaped Wynter as she explained, “I’d like to grab some pizza with the Quinnells’ distant relative first.”
Performing surgery was hard work, and Wynter was starving after she had worked off the medicatednoodles earlier. She also needed some
time to think about her identity.
Ryan nearly pointed out that Dalton was not the Quinnell family’s distant relative, but he dared not doso in front of him.
More importantly, he wondered what Wynter had meant when she said she knew what he was going totell her. Could it be that she had already guessed the truth?
Ryan’s eyes widened as he considered this. But in the absence of
proper confirmation, he simply told her, “Mr. Quinnell Senior is on his way here.”
“Got it,” Wynter answered with a smile. “Do you want to join us, Ryan? Your body can’t function withoutregular meals, you know.”
She didn’t behave differently than usual. Even if she did figure out that she was a daughter of theQuinnell family, she didn’t seem to let that get in the way of her friendship with Ryan.
Ryan was touched by her gesture. He understood she was being considerate of him. Patting hisstomach, he chuckled and said, “No,
thanks. I’m not hungry. Go and have your pizza.”
“All right, then. I’ll get a slice for you,” she offered. A pause later, she added, “The guy who’s in surgeryright now is resilient. The anesthesia
will wear off in a bit.
“When it does, keep him on a plain diet and nothing else. His body
might resist solid food after going so long without it.”
Ryan nodded, making a mental note of what she had just told him
Wynter was incredibly perceptive. She knew what he was about to sa
and what might be bugging him.
He understood she was doing all this to keep him from feeling
awkward.
He let out a breath. If the Quinnells, his employers, were still skeptical of Wynter’s identity, then hewouldn’t hesitate to take care of her as if
she were his sister.
He might not be able to provide her the finest luxuries, like the
Quinnells could, but he could still take care of her needs. However,

judging from Elliot’s reaction earlier, he already saw Wynter as his
sister.
In that case, Ryan needn’t worry that the Quinnells would give Wynter
a hard time.
Now, they could only sit and watch what Ewan and Wanda would do next. Ryan would like to hearthem explain how their so-called adoption and sponsorship of Wynter became such a mess.
The couple had told the public Wynter was their adoptive daughter. If they hadn’t been so intimidatedby Fabian, Ryan had a feeling they would show up and demand that the Quinnells compensate them.
Ryan considered how things would pan out in the long run. He had seen how these wealthy familiesbattled each other. He made up his
mind that he would be Wynter’s pillar of support from now on,
regardless of her choices.
Dalton had noticed Ryan’s strange behavior earlier. Presently, he assessed the young lady seatedacross from him. She was chewing
on her candy while waiting for her pizza.
He could tell she was hungry, or she wouldn’t be staring at the pizza that was currently being cooked inthe furnace.
With the weather in Kingbourne growing chilly, there was nothing more comforting than a slice of pipinghot pizza slathered in meat. sauce and dripping with cheese.
Wynter leaned forward and picked up a slice of pizza the moment it
was served.
Dalton smiled at the look on her face. He took the scrunchies that his

bodyguard handed him and used one of them to secure Wynter’s hair into a ponytail.
Grabbing another slice of pizza, Wynter said in between bites,”
Thanks.”
As for the other scrunchie Dalton did not use, he slid it onto his wrist
and wore it above his red beaded bracelet.
