How to Train Your Ex-Billionaire novel Chapter 34

He took Winifred's hand and started to leave.

The tattooed man quickly followed, shouting, "Hey, you can't just leave! This isn't settled yet."

The lawyer blocked his path. "Sir, I'm Mr. Brown's attorney. If you have something to say, say it to me."

Yvan led Winifred out of the police station. As soon as they were outside, she pulled her hand free and put some distance between them.

Yvan looked at her, but Winifred just stared at the ground.

"...Is your daughter okay?"

Yvan finally broke the silence.

Daughter? Winifred's eyes flickered. She suddenly remembered Karen telling her she'd told Yvan that Winifred was married with a child.

It seemed he'd mistaken Delia for her daughter. Winifred didn't plan on correcting him. Let him think what he wanted.

She kept her eyes downcast. "She's fine. Thank you for stepping in today."

"Don't mention it." Yvan felt a bitter taste in his mouth. "...Where's your husband? Why wasn't he with you after something like this happened?"

"He's at home with our child," Winifred said. "And besides, it wasn't a big deal."

Yvan looked up. "Not a big deal? You and your daughter were almost assaulted. He's your husband, the child's father. If I hadn't called my lawyer, that trashy couple would still be harassing you, trying to extort every last penny."

Winifred said quietly, "If you hadn't gotten physical, I wouldn't have had to come to the station at all, and I wouldn't have had to pay them anything."

Yvan was angry. "So you're saying I should have just minded my own business?"

Winifred shook her head. "No, I'm just saying you didn't have to resort to violence. There's no point getting tangled up with people like that. It only brings trouble."

Yvan looked at her submissive posture and couldn't help saying, "You're still the same as before. Letting people walk all over you without fighting back."

Winifred's hand tightened into a small fist. "Everyone has their own way of handling things. I just didn't want to make a bigger scene. In any case, thank you for today."

"How are you planning to thank me?"
