Winning Her Heart Back (Emelie and William) novel Chapter 453

ave been up to an outsider like me to handle Xander’s funeral just couldn’t bear it because we were friends.” 

Jayden softly said, “You’ve always had a compassionate heart, which is why people praise you as a great business scholar.” 

Norman waved his hand dismissively. He didn’t care about such empty titles. He turned to William and said, “Stop worrying about other people’s affairs. I went fishing with your dad yesterday, and it sounds like he’s really planning to bring your so–called sister back into the family.” 

Η 

William didn’t even lift his eyes. He couldn’t bother to pay any attention to such a matter 

“It’s so late already. Why don’t you both stay here tonight? I have someone show you to the guest rooms,” Norman suggested to the two. William shook his head and stood up.” Someone is waiting for me at home. We’ll leave now. Have a good rest. 

Jayden also got up to leave with William. 

As Normal watched them leave, his expression was no longer as relaxed and casual. Frowning, his mind raced with thoughts. Why was William so concerned about Xander’s children? Could it be that… 

If even Norman could sense something odd about William, Jayden certainly noticed as well. 

Just after they exited the Graham residence, Jayden called out to William. “Will, is there something you haven’t told me? 

William’s profile blended into the dark night, and this was the first time Jayden couldn’t read his expression. “You kept asking about Xander’s son and daughter. Do you know where the son is? Is it someone I know?” 

William took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket. 

He had quit smoking and drinking ever since he had decided to do so. However, he had drunk that night and couldn’t resist smoking. After the brief flare of the lighter, he held the cigarette between his lips and said with a hoarse voice, “I didn’t know that Xander had a son. But I do know the whereabouts of his daughter.” 

Jayden was even more surprised. “So, the daughter isn’t dead?” 

William held the cigarette between his fingers as the smoke swirled in the air. His eyes were cold and detached, like a pond covered in a layer of frost. “Xander had two loyal bodyguards back then. One was named Edward Hoven, and the other was James Carter. Edward took the daughter away.” 

Jayden startled. “Edward Hoven?” 

William didn’t look at him. With a cold expression, he repeated, “Edward Hoven ” 

Jayden seemed to understand something. “Give me one too.” He needed to calm down as well.
