Chapter 1153 Love Lingers Stubbornly
In the past, Wynter had indeed wanted to leave Margaret a family tie. After all,
Margaret had given all her love for Yvette to Wynter.
Later, when the Yates family drove Margaret out, Wynter had seen her staring blankly
at a pair of crib shoes. They were handmade gifts meant for Yvette.
However, Wanda had shown disdain and refused to accept them. She even prevented Margaret from seeing Yvette. Wynter knew how much Margaret had
wanted to see Yvette back then.
It was said that blood was thicker than water. Wynter could face the world rationally, but not Margaret. When everyone rejected her, it was Margaret who stood by her.
Margaret had always said things about never letting Wynter go hungry, and how Wynter must go to school. Whatever Wynter wanted, Margaret would save up to buy them, and she would do the same for Wolf as well.
Everyone had weaknesses. They would lower their defenses for the ones they loved because they clung to hope.
Although Margaret never said it, Wynter knew she had once held hope for Yvette. That was why Wynter hadn’t been ruthless enough when dealing with Yvette.
But that would change. Wynter realized that, compared to Yvette, Margaret probably needed her and Wolf more.
“I will bring Wolf back from Hawford to keep you company,” Wynter said.
Margaret’s eyes lit up. Though she really wanted it, she knew Wynter needed more help outside.
“Hawford and Kingbourne are different. It’s best for Wolf to stay with you. His unspent strength would be wasted on an old woman like me.”
Wynter wanted to say more, but Margaret patted her hands. “I have no grand ambitions, so I don’t ask for much. As long as you and Wolf are safe outside, that’s enough for me. I’ll be here waiting for both of you to return.”

Wynter felt a warmth in her heart and nodded slightly.
Whitley observed from a distance, sensing the difference. He felt an unprecedented sense of peace and comfort, like a warm spring breeze.
However, this feeling also made him more certain that there was something unusual about Margaret, though he wasn’t sure exactly what it was.
Whitley glanced surreptitiously at Dalton, who probably knew.
Noticing Whitley’s gaze, Dalton turned away slightly. His eyes were deep, and his refined, noble face was partly obscured in the backlight and shadow. He revealed no
emotion.
Whitley felt an inexplicable sense of pressure, prompting him to quickly avert his
gaze.
Meanwhile, above the mansion, a crow flew by and perched on a poplar branch.
As a Savior, Whitley quickly noticed this. He was particularly sensitive to the
presence of his kind. He had a feeling that this crow seemed to follow Dalton around.
With this in mind, Whitley shook his head and thought it was probably just his imagination. The crow was in Quinnell Villa too when Dalton wasn’t.
However, though they were both Saviors, Whitley couldn’t help but feel that the crow’s appearance usually heralded bad news.
The crow was unaware that Whitley, his former companion, was thinking ill of him.
He had sensed Dalton’s unstable energy recently and thus appeared frequently. He
also wanted to see if Whitley was behaving foolishly in front of Dalton.
As a Savior, the crow also had a foresight ability. Recently, the weather in the southern region had been unusual. He had a feeling that Dalton’s last trace of soul
was about to be found.
Margaret prepared many things for Wynter, knowing that Wynter would leave the next afternoon.
It was just like when Wynter had exams. Margaret would always cheer her on back then, even when her grades were abysmal. This support gave Wynter the time to
