Winning Her Heart Back (Emelie and William) novel Chapter 369

Chapter 369 Off–Limits 

Emelie sat in stunned silence, Affairs like these were supposed to happen naturally, not with prior notice for preparation! 

William’s words had thrown her into disarray. It disrupted her meal entirely. As soon as she finished, she hurriedly made phone calls, wanting someone to bring 

herclothes. 

William approached from behind and swept her up in his arms. His jawline was stern. “Pay me first.” 

Emmelie hadn’t expected him to be serious. She resisted, refusing to comply. She locked and struggled to get down. “William Middleton! Let me go! You can’t… like this. Wait!” 

Her protests were cut off as the bedroom door slammed shut with a resounding ‘bang‘. 

Despite Mr. Middleton’s disdain for the hotel’s class, the top floor still boasted excellent soundproofing. 

No matter how loudly she shouted, her voice wouldn’t escape the room, 

Once Lyle exited the building, he sat in his car, making calls to delegate the tasks William had assigned. Afterward, he lit a cigarette inside his vehicle. 

He preferred the stronger–tasting ones, letting the nicotine swirl in his lungs before exhaling slowly. The bum down his throat was akin to strong liquor. 

He hoped the sensation would erase the recent scene from his mind. 

It was the usual, yet not quite the same, Emelie 

She naturally exuded a certain allure. She was unlike those who feigned sophistication or deliberately flaunted theircharms. 

Even if she did nothing, just standing there would evoke thoughts of something raw and untamed. 

What was different was this version of her he hadn’t seen before. 

Emelie was tall and slender, she filled out a man’s shirt with loose elegance. The hem just covered her hips, and it revealed her delicate, fair legs 

Lyle smoked two cigarettes but still couldn’t calm his emotions. Meanwhile, another part of him was even less composed. 

Lyle glanced down and muttered, “Damn ” 

He felt extremely annoyed. He cracked open the sunroof to wake himself up with the winter wind. As the wind blew, Lyle’s mood and expression calmed down. 

He couldn’t quite pinpoint when he started paying attention to Emelie. 

It might have been from the first time William brought her to Westward City, introducing her to their group of friends. Lyle was playing pool on the side when he heard Troy shout, “Hey! Will’s brought his girlfriend!” 

William had never had a woman by his side before, so Lyle was curious and glanced over. He saw a woman in a white and green floral sundress, She stood gracefully Like a lotus leaf in a summer pond. 

At that time, she had clearly looked surprised by the title. Her eyes widened slightly under the bright lights of the private room, revealing a hidden joy. 

At that moment, a thought had crossed his mind. Her eyes were quite beautiful. 

But soon enough, William replied to Troy, “She’s not my girlfriend.” 

The light in her eyes dimmed instantly, and the others exchanged knowing looks about her identity. They teasingly sized her up. 

Lyle scratched his cheek with his tongue. He had interrupted their familiar glances, “Don’t leave me alone here. Why don’t you join in?
