Winning Her Heart Back (Emelie and William) novel Chapter 524

Chapter 524 Afraid of You 

Mona immediately rebuked, “That’s alle! You and Eme haven’t even gone through with the marriage registration. You’re no husband and wife!” 

william put down his cutlery and reached for a warm towel to wipe his hands. His fingers glistened slightly in the morning light as he dried them 

“They say true friends are always critical of their friends” partners. Seems like that saying is true. But Mrs. Middleton, shouldn’t you be defending me in front of your friends?” William said. 

The police officer, sensing a strange undercurrent to the situation, turned to Emelie. “Ms. Hoven, your friend claims you were being held here against your will. Is that correct?” 

“No,” Emelie replied simply. 

Saying yes wouldn’t solve anything. Even if the police managed to take her away today, her mother would still be stock there. What would be the point of her going back to William then? 

Mona, however, thought Emelie was intimidated by William. “Eme, we’re here, and the police are here too. You don’t have to be scared. Just tell the truth!” 

Mona then questioned William, “If you weren’t holding Emelie captive, then why wouldn’t you let her go out or contact us?” 

William answered, “She’s pregnant. I’m afraid that the baby might be accidentally hurt if she goes out, so she stays home unless necessary.” 

Mona’s eyes widened in surprise. 

Pregnant? She whipped around to look at Emelle, silently questioning Emelle if it was true 

Emelie was also stunned. She didn’t know that William had spread the news about her pregnancy. For a fleeting moment, she wondered if he somehow knew something 

she calmed down within a few seconds. Then, she said, “Yes, I’m worried that the baby might be accidentally hurt if I go out.” 

Then, she changed the subject abruptly. “But both of you can always visit me at my place. Stay for lunch; we have a new chef at home. We can catch up while we eat.” 

Just the night before, she had wished she could see Ashley. Today was the perfect opportuni 

Emelie smiled. “Mr. Middleton, do you have any objections?” 

With the police as witnesses, William couldn’t refuse if he wasn’t truly holding her hostage. “Of course not 

Sering that both parties seemed to be in agreement, the officer said, “Since this is a misunderstanding, would you please sign this form acknowledging our visit? We’ll be on our 

way after that.” 

Emelie nodded in gratitude. “Thank you, office” 

Then, Ashley followed the police officer outside to sign the document. 

Emelie reached out and patted Mona’s hand comfortingly 

However, William had appeared beside her and said gently, “Mrs. Middleton, how could you take advantage of me and add in another term like this? Our agreement didn’t include hosting friends for lunch.“” 

Emelie offered him a half–smile. “If you can break your promises so easily, then why shouldn’t add terms? If you try to chase Ashley and Mona away again, they’ll just call the police again.” 

William’s gaze dropped. “Do you honestly think I’m afraid of the police?” 

Emelle stared at him. “So, you’re not even afraid of them now?” 

“It’s you I’m afraid of,” he muttered.
