Chapter 120
The cold moonlight penetrated the glass windows in the corridor and shone on Winter and Dalton.
Winter's excessive silence made the emotions in Dalton's pine-gray vertical pupils even more profound.
His thin lips curled up, seemingly smiling, but there was no smile in his eyes: "Went, have you forgotten your identity?"
"Although there is no blood relationship between you and the little girl, you are at least her brother in name. Is it appropriate for you to touch her like this?"
Winter's blue eyes looked coldly at his good friend: "I'm not suitable, but you are?"
Dalton pushed the silver-framed glasses on his nose with his slender fingers and asked with a smile, "What else?"
"Winter, do you want to keep the little guy alone with you forever?"
"Don't forget, after the little one's identity as a female double S was exposed, countless males applied for matches, so many that the Empire's servers were paralyzed."
"I know you don't want to, but in what capacity do you want to keep her? As your adopted brother?"
"She likes you, sure, but this kind of liking is the liking for a brother, right? If she knew that you had developed romantic feelings for her and even touched her, do you think she would hate you and stay away from you..."
Dalton's words were like a sharp knife, piercing Winter's heart.
His thin lips were pursed into a sharp arc, and his hands hanging at his sides were clenched into fists because of the suffocating pain in his chest.
Dalton realized that his goal had been achieved and stopped going any further.
In fact, he didn't want to be an enemy of his friend.
But he has never been a person willing to back down in relationships.
Especially in this emotional war, he has too many enemies. If he retreats, even the limited space he has will be squeezed out by others.
When passing by Winter, Dalton still kept some friendship in mind: "Winter, I won't tell anyone about what happened tonight."
"But next time, I can't guarantee it..."
After Dalton left, Winter's originally straight and slender back in the moonlight seemed to become lonely and decadent.
at the same time.
In the luxurious room of the Kara family with lights on.
Grayson, who left without saying goodbye, was now kneeling on the ground in a mess with his head lowered and blood all over his body.
The female mother of the Kra family, holding a bloody whip, sat on an expensive leather sofa, staring at Grayson on the ground with an annoyed look on her face.
"You've been kneeling for a whole day, and you still won't admit your mistake?!"
Grayson's back was covered with bruises and his bloodless lips were tightly pursed.
Even though he turned pale with pain, he never begged for mercy or cried out in pain.
And his silence was undoubtedly a silent provocation to the female.
"Bastard thing!"
The mother was so angry that she raised the sharp whip in her hand, but when she was about to swing it, she thought of something and stopped.
"Grayson, if you don't know where you're wrong, let me tell you!"
"You were wrong for helping the Kra family's mortal enemy! You were wrong for disregarding your family's honor and interests and openly rebelling in the Interstellar Court just for an enemy!"
Hearing this, Grayson raised his head——
On his handsome cheek, where he had been whipped, there appeared a red whip mark.
The sharp scars not only did not ruin his handsomeness, but made him look even more rogue and flamboyant when he raised his brows.
"I protect the person I love, what's wrong with that?"
"As for you saying that Shen Yinyin is our family's enemy, that's ridiculous. Jenny Kra was killed by the Zerg, and it had nothing to do with her at all!"
When the truth was revealed, the mother's eyes darkened and she sneered.
"good very good!"
"Since you like her so much, from now on, I want you to get close to Shen Yinyin and become her husband. You should be more than happy to do so, right?"
It was true that she hated Shen Yinyin, but she was also quicker to face reality.
When Shen Yinyin was of low status, she would naturally step on her.
The other party is now a female of noble status, so she can naturally praise her.
However, it was her disappointing son who was supporting her!
Grayson looked at his mercenary, cold-blooded mother and said in a cold tone, "You suddenly changed your attitude just because she's a double S female?"
The mother didn't deny it, but said condescendingly: "I'm doing this for your own good and for the good of the family."
Grayson laughed when he heard this.
There was undisguised sarcasm in his laughter: "Do you think she will accept it?"
"After I was brainwashed by the so-called family enemy and bullied her out of revenge, and after you humiliated her in front of her..."
"Why do you think she will accept me?"
Grayson did not forget the cold and distant look the girl gave him last time at the military academy.
"She hates me when she sees me now and won't accept me. Forget about it!"
