Winning Her Heart Back (Emelie and William) novel Chapter 378

Emelie was getting angry out of embarrassment as she growled, "So, the reason you came looking for me is… for this?"

A thought popped into her mind. She suddenly wondered to herself if this was a new trick of his.

He said that he was "addicted to" sleeping with her in the past and forced her to stay with him. And now, he changed his stance and decided to be nice to her to make her stay? Was he deceiving her again?

Emelie didn't want it anymore no matter what. She pushed him away, wanting to leave.

William caught her by her waist and said, "Only when there is love will there be desire."

Emelie had goosebumps all over her as her eyes began to cover in tears. "I never heard such logic. I thought you men are fine with just any woman."

"Not me. I'm picky. I want only you."

Emelie mumbled, "A man can say whatever he needs to get what he ultimately wants."

William looked at her eyes in the dark. "Then I'll say it to you one more time when it's morning."

Emelie felt that she was being illogical tonight.

She illogically wanted to take him home. Her wavering heart illogically wanted to believe his words. In the end, she illogically relented and agreed to have sex with him.

Perhaps it was because he was standing at the bow of the pleasure boat. As he got closer to her following the flow of the water, she saw the light of the moon shining on him making him look dreamy. It was as if the lunar light was making her tipsy too as she drowned in her dreams..

…

The attic floor was made of wooden planks. When the bed moved, it produced sounds.

Ronan heard it from downstairs and walked over to the staircase, confused. "Emelie? Are you there?"

Emelie's body instantly tensed up.

Emelie covered her mouth, holding back her urge to make a sound. Her beating heart was thumping like a drum.

Ronan walked up the stairs and saw the door into the attic was closed. "You're back, Emelie?"

Emelie could hear the sounds of Ronan climbing up the stairs. He started knocking on the door in the next second as she foresaw.

While the door was already locked, Emelie was still scared that he would open the door. She was overwhelmed with anxiety.

William chuckled softly. "Emelie… Won't you answer him? He might come in and check on you."
