Winning Her Heart Back (Emelie and William) novel Chapter 597

Elias's kisses were light yet full of desire, moving from her lips to her chin, and then to her neck. Ashley was wearing a spaghetti strap nightgown with a thin cardigan over it. Elias bit down on the strap adjuster and pulled it down.

For some reason, Ashley saw him as a puppy trying to please its owner.

It had been about six months since they last did anything like this, partly due to their arguments and partly because of her early pregnancy. Both of them were currently feeling the moment. Clothes started to fall, and their desires kicked in.

At that critical moment, the doorbell rang unexpectedly.

Elias's face was filled with frustration and reluctance. He stubbornly continued kissing her with the temperament of a child, ignoring the bell.

Ashley wasn't as shameless. She guessed that it was the food delivery and pushed him away. "The food is here."

Elias, his eyes slightly glowing with passion, lifted his face from her chest. "So, do we continue after we eat?"

Ashley didn't bother to answer. She pushed him aside, fixed her clothes, and headed for the door. However, Elias stopped her and went to get it himself.

It was indeed the delivery man, and he took the food from him. Despite the interruption, he felt better and gave the delivery person a tip.

Even though he didn't know what Ashley didn't like, he knew what she liked. After they finished eating, he cleared the table without being asked.

Ashley returned to her room to brush her teeth and get ready for bed. It was already late, just past ten, and her pregnancy had made her routine very regular.

Recently, Elias had been coming home in the wee hours of the night and sleeping in the guest room. Ashley took this as a sign he didn't want to share a bed with her, so she assumed he wouldn't be joining her that night either. Hence, she turned off the lights and went to sleep.

Perhaps it was those kisses from Elias and his words about their first night that affected her. In her sleep, Ashley dreamt of their first time together.

That day, they had just gotten their marriage certificate. But right after leaving the city hall, they went their separate ways.

Ashley knew Elias married her under his mother's pressure and that he didn't really want to marry her. He had even complained to his friends, calling her an old and ugly woman.

If that had happened seven or eight years ago, that might have hurt her feelings. However, after her seven-year relationship with Beathan and dealing with countless bizarre cases as a lawyer, she understood the diversity of human nature and didn't take such comments to heart.
