Chapter 37 Have A Child
William wasn’t a promiscuous man. At the very least, Emelie had been the only woman he’d ever been with during the three years she worked for him.
So right now, William could only seek her out when he couldn’t get released from Daphne out of respect for Daphne’s traditional values.
Emelie recalled how William had praised Daphne for being well–raised when he was talking about her
values the other day.
Emelie wasn’t as “well–raised” as Daphne was. Emelie wouldn’t have slept with and stayed by William’s side for three years in an ambiguous relationship with him otherwise, and ultimately being tossed aside by William like a used doll.
It was a good thing Emelie left him earlier so she didn’t get in the way of him having a family of his own.
At the thought of family, Emelie placed a hand on her abdomen, tears welling in her eyes as sadness
overwhelmed her.
“Be careful on the way home. Get some rest,” William said to Daphne after dropping her off in her neighborhood like usual.
Daphne nodded and unbuckled her seatbelt before opening the door. The moment she took a step
outside, she turned back to William, biting her lip. “Can you walk me home, Mr. Middleton? One of the streetlights outside my house is spoiled, so it’s dark there.”
William was somewhat distracted. “Is that all you want me to do?”
l
Daphne blushed. “It’s so late already. You’ll be exhausted by the time you reach home. Why don’t you stay
the night.
Daphne couldn’t be more obvious about her intention.
William gazed at her. “Didn’t you say your mother raised you not to be so intimate with men?”
Daphne replied quietly, “But didn’t you say you’d marry me, Mr. Middleton? There’s no reason not to be intimate if that’s the case, right?”
William continued gazing quietly at Daphne until she began growing uneasy.
She had only made it known to William that she wasn’t the kind to sleep around because she wanted to
create an impression. Men loved it when women played hard to get, after all.
Yet right now, Daphne had a strange feeling that if she didn’t take the next step with William tonight, she’d no longer be able to be close to him, even though he’d said he’d marry her earlier.
“Mr. Middleton, I…”
“Go back inside. Use your phone’s torchlight if it’s too dark. I’ll have someone come and fix the light
tomorrow,” William said flatly.
