Winning Her Heart Back (Emelie and William) novel Chapter 418

Chapter 418 Ending Relations Upon Marriage 

Upon hearing Ronan return, Greta brought out the last dish and set it on the table. 

“Let’s eat. Will, Eme brought you home today without telling us beforehand. So, we didn’t prepare much. These are just some home–cooked dishes. I’m not sure if you’ll like them though,” she said. 

William stood up and calmly glanced at Ronan’s pale face. 

He spoke gently, “It’s my fault for not informing Eme beforehand that I intended to stay.” 

The more the mother–in–law looked at her son–in–law, the more pleased she became. Greta hadn’t been this happy in a long time. 

She smiled and said jokingly, “Will, don’t spoil Eme too much.” 

She quickly defended Emelie at the same time. ‘Then again, Eme’s very sensible. She can’t be spoiled.” Emelie smiled faintly. 

Everyone sat down to eat, and Greta served William a bowl of soup while spooning more and more food into his bowl. 

“Will, try the fish soup. The vegetables are from our garden, and our old neighbor caught the fish. Also, the sweet and sour pork chop is Eme’s favorite. She’s loved sour food since she was a little girl,” Greta said. William glanced at Emelie and, as expected, she started eating the pineapple dressing on the top. 

“She likes sour food?” William asked. 

Greta chuckled. “Yes. In fact, we just bought a pound of calamansi and two pounds of lime for the Lunar New Year today.” 

Greta suddenly thought about something. “Oh right, Will, I haven’t asked for your birth date yet. We have a tradition here where we check the birth dates to select auspicious dates for the wedding ceremony. Of course, we can discuss these matters after you’ve met with your father.” 

Greta’s warm hospitality contrasted with Ronan’s silent and reserved demeanor at the dining table, which seemed increasingly unusual. 

However, whether it was Emelie or Greta, their attention was focused on William. 

They didn’t notice that Ronan had been silent all this time and barely touched his food. His face was tense as if someone at the table had put him on edge. 

William maintained his polite smile throughout. He responded to Greta’s hospitality with courtesy and never appeared distant. 

As Greta continued talking, she suddenly remembered something. “Oh, I almost forgot! It’s customary here for the new son–in–law to have a bowl of sweet food on his first visit. I’ll make it now. This tradition mustn’t be missed.” 

Greta was overjoyed. She was happy that Emelie finally had someone to rely on. 

As Greta busied herself, Emelie was about to tell her that William didn’t like sweet stuff or that the food preparation could wait until the afternoon. 

Just then, Greta accidentally bumped into Ronan’s elbow. 

It wasn’t a big deal at all. However, Ronan suddenly couldn’t hold back any longer. 

He shouted, “Enough is enough!” 

His sudden outburst stunned everyone present except William. 

Ronan’s emotions were running high. “Marriage? What marriage! I don’t agree Emelie was bewildered. She never expected this. “Why?” 

to this! This won’t happen!” 

Ronan’s face flushed as he angrily roared. “There’s no reason why! I don’t agree to this! If you insist on marrying him, then… then we’re done!” 

What? 

Emelie stared at Ronan in disbelief. 

Since returning home three years ago, she had sensed Ronan’s guilt toward her. He hadn’t said anything overly harsh toward her, let alone talked about cutting off relations. 

Thus, Emelie was taken aback and didn’t understand why he acted this way. “Dad, what are you saying?” Ronan’s emotions were already out of control. 

He threw down his fork and he pointed at William with his finger trembling. “You… you… you…” William maintained a calm expression. His dark eyes were bottomless as he looked at him. “You… You should leave! Get out! The corners of Ronan’s mouth twitched, and his voice was angry. Piss off! Don’t come to my house again! I won’t let you have your way! Get out!” 

William remained expressionless while sitting quietly. 

Meanwhile, Greta was shocked. She stared blankly at Ronan. 

Emelie calmly turned to William and said, “You should leave first.” 

William glanced at Emelie and decided not to say anything else. He nodded in response.

As Emelie sent him to the door, William chuckled softly. “It seems it’s not my mother who won’t accept you, but your father who won’t accept me.”
