Winning Her Heart Back (Emelie and William) novel Chapter 356

Chapter 356 You Have Me 

Emelie was tall and slender, but she was not fragile. Even in the shapeless gown, he could discem her graceful figure, with curves in all the right places

William recalled how much he used to adore her. He would whisper in her ear, telling her she was made just for him

He would tease her until she blushed and called him a jerk. She really didn’t know how to swear

He cleared his throat and asked, Did you just call me? What’s up

Emmelie had no idea how alluring she appeared as she stood by the hallway linking her bedroom and the living room. The soft glow of the wall lamp highlighted her pale face

She said, Ashley called me. She said that there’s a photo of Elena online. Did you take care of it

William replied nonchalantly, Yeah

Emelie’s racing heart settled a bit. Finally, she managed a soft, Thanky you 

William loosened the top button of his shirt and walked toward her. Are you finally coming to me for help now?” 

Emelie had always handled things independently. Yet now she tumed to him at the first sign of trouble 

Even she was unaware of how she had begun to rely on him

She had only thought that if the photo spread online, the public pressure would mount, and she might end up back in police custody

All she lovew was that she didn’t want to go back there, and the only person capable of helping her was William

She couldn’t understand when she had shifted from not believing he would help her to feeling he was her only hope

A shadow fell over her, and Emelie looked up dazedly to find william standing right in front of her

They stood close together 

Instinctively, she stepped back, but he caught her hand and pulled her into the bedroom. Emelle grasped at the door frame and asked, What are you doing?” 

William glanced back at her. Have you looked in the minor? Your eyes are red. If you’re tired, go to sleep.” 

He tilted his head slightly downward, the collar of his sweater snug against his throat. Then, his voice took on a calm and deliberate tone that Emelie rarely heard. Aren’t you trying to act all hero? You negotiated with Bryan to redeem you on the cruise ship, handled Charles on the side, and even threatened me not to hand you over. You weren’t afraid then. Now that you have me, what’s left to fear?” 

His words rippled through her mind like a stone cast into a tranquil lake, creating concentric waves of impact

Emelie’s breath seemed to vanish in that moment as she stared at him. She was astonished that he would speak such words to her 

Has she finally found someone she can rely on

Emelle’s throat felt dry as cotton, and she struggled to find her voice. Yet, her restless heart seemed to find a fleeting sense of solace

Emelie lay wrapped in blankets, feeling sleepless 

She tumed to face the door and reflected on the day’s tumultuous events

She fell into Elena’s trap, became a suspect and narrowly escaped detention. Despite William’s Intervention securing her temporary release, she remained under restrictions
