Winning Her Heart Back (Emelie and William) novel Chapter 416

Chapter 416 Daphne’s Relationship with Whitney 

Ronan had yet to return by mealtime. Thus, the housekeeper went out to look for him. 

Emelie originally wanted to help Greta set the table, but Greta insisted she go and keep William company. 

She worried that her new son–in–law might feel uncomfortable sitting alone. 

As if William would ever feel uneasy. It’s doubtful it would even happen if the sky were to fall. 

Still, Emelie went over. 

William was sitting on the sofa. 

Emelie had thought to sit on a smaller seat on the side, but William pulled her over to sit with him. 

He whispered in her ear, “What did you say to your mother?” 

Emelie, sensitive to sound, moved slightly away. “I didn’t say anything.” 

“If you didn’t say anything, then why has her attitude toward me changed so much? Do you think I wouldn’t notice? She wasn’t pleased with me just now, but what could make your mother displeased with me?” William pinched her finger. 

William’s confidence stemmed from his perfect qualifications. Unless they were only in it for the money, a parent’s foremost consideration when getting their child married was the partner’s character. 

Emelie calmly stated, “Isn’t our ambiguous relationship enough to displease her?” 

William lowered his eyes and looked at her. 

Emelie thought that since they were considering marriage, they should be honest with each other. So, she decided to question him without hesitation. 

Thus, she also looked back at him. “Your mother is in Sentiland, and you sent Daphne to Sentiland to accompany her. What status did she go there with?” 

William played with her fingers. He smiled a little. “Is it your mother who’s displeased or you?” 

Emelie stared at him without blinking. “Why are you changing the subject? Is this difficult to answer?” 

“Are you mimicking me?” William pulled her toward him, and Emelie quickly propped herself against his chest to avoid being completely embraced. 

Her mother was still in the dining room after all. 

She didn’t have the habit of hugging and kissing a man in front of her parents. 

Emelie glared at William. 

He looked affectionately at her with his eyes falling on her hand pressed against his chest. 

Initially, she didn’t think much of it. They had been open with each other countless times before. What was wrong with a little touching? 

However, he looked at her so intentionally that she felt the warmth of his body under her palm. 

Emelie quickly withdrew her hand. 

Were a man’s chest muscles that hard when relaxed? Wasn’t it supposed to be soft? 

Wait, that was not the point now! 

Emelie was almost distracted.
