Winning Her Heart Back (Emelie and William) novel Chapter 315

Chapter 315 Cared More About Her 

The Navarro family members gathered for breakfast at their residence. 

Matilda heard voices and looked up to see Elena descending the stairs arm in arm with Sofia, engaged in lively conversation. 

They appeared close, confirming Emo’s suspicions from the previous night. In the blink of an eye, their relationship had advanced from acquaintances to best friends. 

Matilda furrowed her brows briefly but quickly regained her composure. “Ms. Allen, thank you for taking care of Sofia and the children yesterday,” she said. 

Elena pulled out a chair for Sofia and smiled warmly. “You’re too kind, Mrs. Matilda. William has immense respect for you, and I consider you like a grandmother to me. It’s only natural to help with the children as they’re like nephews to me.” 

Sofia was touched, holding Elena’s hand as they took their seats. 

Matilda smiled faintly. “Theard william left early last night. Was it something urgent?” 

“It was work–related,” Elena replied. “William asked me to apologize on his behalf for his sudden departure. He promises to visit the Navarro residence next time to spend more time with you. For now, allow me to take his place.” 

Sofia gently patted Elena’s hand. “I noticed it last night. Mr. Middleton treats you quite differently. When he speaks like that, it’s as if he already views you as his fiancée.” 

Elena blushed slightly and jokingly scolded, “Sofia” 

Matilda interjected calmly, “William nuns such a large company all by himself, without siblings to share the burden. It’s undoubtedly challenging. Let’s eat first” 

Matilda kept her remarks concise, allowing Elena little opportunity to elaborate, which led her to lapse into silence. 

After finishing her breakfast, Elena excused herself and headed to the restroom. 

In the dining room, only Matilda and Sofia remained. Matilda continued, “Sofia, don’t get too close to Ms. Allen.” 

Socialooked puzzled. “Mom, don’t you like Elena? I find her very friendly, and her personality is quite nice.” 

Matilda replied, “I can’t judge her personality. However, you’re being somewhat naive.” 

After years in the business world, she had seen all sorts of tricks. Elena’s slick actions meant little to her. 

“To put it nicely, she’s emotionally intelligent. Bluntly, she’s too slick. You two just met, and she’s already on a first–name basis with you. I don’t like people who are too opportunistic,” Matildacontinued. 

Sofia furrowed her brows. “But Mr. Middleton clearly favors her. He hangs on her every word. Whatever she suggested last night, he followed through” 

Matilda wasn’t present at the scene, so she didn’t have specific details about the previous night. Nevertheless, she could sense that William cared more about Emelie. Originally, Willam had no plans to visit the Navarro residence yesterday. When Matilda called to inquire about any suspicious activities at the twins‘ one–month celebration, where they were poisoned, he casually replied that everything was normal. 

It was only when Matilda casually mentioned, “The most suspicious person might be Swanson Corporation’s secretary, Ms. Hoven,” that he reconsidered and agreed to visit to check on the children. 

Matilda could discern well enough whether he was there out of concern for the children or for some other reason entirely. 

However, Sofiadisagreed. “I reviewed the surveillance footage last night and found out that Emelie left with Mr. Middleton. They must have been checking on the children together. 

“If Mr. Middleton truly wanted to protect her, why didn’t he immediately come forward to confirm they were together that night and that Emelie had nothing to do with the poisoning? His silence suggests he doesn’t care about her.” 

Matilda raised her eyebrows in response. “Is that so?” After a brief moment of contemplation, she shook her head and smiled. 

Sofia’s revelation confirmed her suspicion that William cared more about Emelie. 

Matilda remarked, “Consider this, if he had spoken up to defend Emelie, I would have undoubtedly pardoned her. But such leniency wouldn’t signify my belief in Emelie’s Innocence. Rather, with his protection, I couldn’t publicly assign blame
